Rubes turns 15

Here's a Rubes of yesteryear, circa 1997.. thats how old Rube-dog is. She still enjoys the refreshing flavor of Rain---eeerr- beer sometimes.

This just in...

So what we have here is a graph of the economy vs. ski slopes.  The red line represents Alyeska's Christmas Chute, the blue is North Face, and the green is the economy.  Not so good. You don't have to pitt check the green line to see it is avalanche prone.

Two more jobs were lost today when Kellogs and Subway fired Michael Phelps.  In a retaliatory move the Clubgirdwood Blog endorses the boycotting of Subway and Kellogs, respectively.  Unless it's lunch and you want someone with scabies to make you a sandwich, or it's breakfast and you want a bowl of flakey bran appropriations, then you are welcome to boycott the boycott.  

The real tragedy of course is that Phelps admits to a "regrettable mistake in judgement." Obviously dude, NEVER smoke eastcoast scrub, you gots to bring your dolphin lungs NORTH to the Valley!

I've Fallen and I can't get up

This should be taken very seriously.  Also, why the hell is no one posting fat powder day pics for the rest of us flat landers to see.  Seriously.

High Five, I like!

Frozen Moments

I went up to Iniakuk last week and can report that all is well and frozen.  Lots of -30F with a dash or two of -40F.  Snow pack increasing...

Something smells, and it's not just the old guys.

There are some odd Alaska polling stats here.

Putting the "Ted" in "Convicted."

I am a bit confused right now because apparently our beloved Uncle Ted is not convicted until his appeals process is complete.  By this definition everyone on Death Row is also innocent and should be relaxing at home- particularly if they have a home in a gorgeous little ski resort town.

I remember the election year 2004 in Girdwood when Party Dude happily came back from the polls exclaiming that he stood in line with Uncle Ted and realized his votes vetoed Ted's.  It was a proud moment in Democracy and we drank many beers to celebrate Party Dude's courageous and selfless act.

I must admit I have voted for Uncle T on numerous occasions because he fought for Alaska like a premenstrual wolverine, but now he has just gone Don Quixote on us and it is time to make way for other yet-to-be-convicted felons.  (please note that I do not mean to imply that Don Quixote ever profited illegally from his windmill attacks)

Incidentally November 18 is Ted's birthday as well as "Senator Ted Stevens Appreciation Day" (it really is) so celebrate by doing something illegal and don't worry about the consequences...

And finally, the song "Red Handed Sleight of Hand" by the band "Cursive."  Now here's where things get freaky- the lead singer's name is Ted Stevens and he was born on the 4th of July.  If he renames the band "Ted Stevens and the Unconvicted" I hearby take full credit and demand royalties... they will be substantial...

Farewell to the Blond Bullet

It Hasn't Always Been this Way

At this festive time of year I want to show you all that there was a time when Party Dude was not afraid to don a costume.  That is him on the top right with the jazz hands.  I thought this was pretty hot at the time.  

Happy Halloween, Girdwood.

De Hook and Debate

I always loved the original Batman with Adam West, but was apparently too young to see the prophetic political undertones.  I recommend the McCain campaign look to the A-Team for political advice in the future.  Cause I pity the foo who believes their current rhetoric.

Clean Coal comes to Girdwood

The time is now people, talk to your congressman about the benefits of clean coal!
