YouTubesday

This week is a YouTubesday twofer. First up, in honor of YouTubes 5th birthday, the first video ever posted on YouTube. Why it only has 2.7 million views (versus Lady GaGa's Bad Romance which has over 200 million views) is beyond me. Yea, the video sucks, but it's the first video ever uploaded. That's history right there folks. Following that is my equally terrible video from the donkey basketball game in Springfield a bit ago. There are no words to describe it, it's just something you have to see.

Summer Shred Sessions

Even though it's late May, there's still some riding to be done these next couple weekends. Need that last fix? Here's where to get it:

• Mountain Creek is holding a Stockpile Session May 22nd, in what they're claiming to be the first event of it's kind in Jersey. Apparently they had a 22' quarterpipe that they'll be turning into a hikeable set of features. Pretty sick that there will be May riding in Jersey.

• Stratton and Mount Snow are teaming up Memorial Day weekend to throw the last sessions that I know of in the East. Saturday is the Peace Pipe Jam at the bottom of Carinthia at Mount Snow, and Sunday is the Mountain MAYhem Jam at Stratton (see what they did? They capitalized all the letters of May since the event is in May. Clever bastards.) They'll be turning all the left over snow from the US Open SlopeStyle course and half pipe into one final on-snow event for the season.

For those of us who won't be making it out - 1 shredless month down, 6 to go.

The Double Down

Today I happened upon a KFC and thought to myself "Hey, I'm hungry. Isn't it mandatory to try a Double Down? I'm gonna do this." What a bad idea. First off, when I opened the box, I didn't even know where to start. It's just a mess. I went with the original, since grilled is just wrong from Kentucky FRIED Chicken, and it was just all grease. At one point I could hear the grease as I bit into it. The "sandwich" was just disgusting, and eating it lowered my self-esteem. The FDA needs to step in on this one - KFC has crossed a line, and I don't know if i can ever forgive them.

Frydeeeee

Twas a good Friday - got outta work early and pretty much everything is now taken care of from my accident. My"less upsidedown-y" car is now registered and has VT tags. All around, I'm just feeling good. I need to bottle this energy and remember it for those times I'm feeling down.

Sidenote: The Schick Hydro commercials worked on me. I bought it. And tried it. A+

Felchville

Yep, there's a town in Vermont called Felchville. Just thought people should know this.

Youtubesday

This is a new bit I'm going to be trying out. Every Tuesday I'll post a video or two that I found interesting on YouTube this week. We'll start off easy this week. How could anyone not enjoy the Afghanistan version of Lady GaGa's Telephone?

I Heart Assault Rifles

Yep, you read that correctly. A bumper sticker that says "I Heart Assault Rifles." This car also had a bumper sticker for FreeVermont.net, a Vermont secession movement, so take that into consideration.
