Hut Hut Hike

It is my esteemed opinion that there should be a winter cousin trip, and this trip should involve a 10th mountain division hut.

These huts book up pretty far in advance, especially over holidays, which seem to be a likely time of maximum Colorado Cousins. So I think we should plan this soon.

I've been on 3 hut trips, and here's about what we would expect out of this adventure: We ski or snowshoe to the hut. This takes something like 4 hours. Many of us will ski, which is slightly harder, because we like the idea of playing on AT (all-terrain skis, which are a perfect mix of cross country and downhill) and have unrealistic aspirations of back-country skiing.



The trip is difficult, for everybody, because those of us in the best shape bring heavy stuff like beer and honey-baked hams. We see the hut on the horizon and it's a glorious site. We go inside, get the fire going, lay some meat and cheese and crackers out and enjoy having made it. Eventually everyone staggers in, and all the food and liquor and other goodies are laid on a table. Someone comments on how there's no way we'll be able to drink that much whiskey. They will be mistaken. A great dinner is made, which includes things that probably was ridiculous to bring to a hut, like said honey-baked ham. The night is passed in a nice casual cousin-party, hours of drinking and bull-shitting, and random games.

The next day we have the whole day there, because we booked the hut for a few nights. A go-getter, most likely Adam, climbs a mountain and skis down it, while the majority relaxes, sleds, explores, more games. Another big dinner and drinking. We decide to hit the sled-jump at about midnight, which seems like a horrible idea at first, but turns out to be very fun. Dare-devilry ensues. A sled is broken. Funny pictures are taken, and the whiskey is finished overlooking the sled run.









We sleep in the next day and head home, looking forward to dinner at the Hickory House.

OK. Obviously, I think these are extremely fun. Jeremy can chime in with a comment about the fun level of last winters' if he wants to. So the questions are:
-Are you interested in this idea?
-When are you most likely to be in Colorado next winter?
-When can you know for sure?

The most likely outcome here is that no one knows if or when they'll be out there, so the planning is put off until early-winter, when everyone realizes dec. 28 would have been perfect, but by then the huts are full. Let's try to avoid this. However, if it looks like non-holidays are a more likely time for maximum interested cousins, booking this far in advance is unnecessary.

Who put this poo here!?!
Never mind, its labeled.

Jeremy, do you want to see a testicle? (this one was funny because I was the only male working at the time and it was shouted across the lab by an attractive female.)

Robin: "I think that guy downstairs broke his femur."
Linda: "Well that was stupid. I guess I'll go grab his blood and urine."

Mega Piranha

I'm getting this post up a little late, but the movie event of the year is tomorrow night at 8pm central time and again at 1am on the Syfy Channel. Get a load of the awesome talent in this picture:


Paul Logan who starred in such movies as:


Aliens on Crack
Vampire in Vegas
The Last Bad Neighborhood
Freezerburn
The Eliminator
Stripper Wives
L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies


Tifanny (yes THE Tiffany)


Barry Williams (Greg from the Brady Bunch)


Here's the plot from IMDb.com:

A mutant strain of giant ferocious piranha escape from the Amazon and eat their way toward Florida.


And the tagline:

They were created to save mankind. Something went wrong.


And some trailers:

I'm going to watch this and I was hoping at least one of you could join me so we could compare notes. And for those of you looking for an awesome double-feature, Sharks in Venice is on after Mega Piranha. I've seen it, its kicks ass. In one scene Billy Baldwin gets his leg bit entirely off by a shark, the next scene he is in the hospital and gets out his bed (with two legs) and just walks away with no explanation at all.

Topic for discussion:
Which Paul Logan movie listed above do you most want to see and why?

Musings

This should be pronounced "Moooosings" in honor of Dee's electric double breast pump.

That's all I got. I'm tired.
