She may have been writing as a character, but nonetheless I sensed a great deal of hostility toward her students. The woman struck me as a self centered, spoiled brat, no better than the worst of the students she depicted. Why so redundant? She was a *snowboard* instructor afterall. C'mon. The "snowboarder" stereotype is a little worn. I've been skiing and snowboarding for years. When I was a skier, and had my first experiences with snowboarders, I found them disrespectful, ungraceful, and in the way as they plopped down on there butts in the middle of the slope. But now I'm a snowboarder, and I see that it is mostly the beginners (skiers and boarders) who are in the way and ungraceful. Some boarders and skiers have bad attitudes, young and old. and remember, its easy to have no skills on a board or skis. |

Whatever happened to the days when instructors were supposed to set a good
example for their sport. ugh "Walt" wrote in message ... Courtesy of Rogers Cadenhead's Cruel Site of the Day www.cruel.com http://www.aspentimes.com/apps/pbcs..../COLUMN/312310 17 http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/2754374/detail.html ASPEN, Colo. -- An Aspen Times columnist has been fired from her job as a snowboard instructor at Snowmass after mocking her students and their parents in a recent column. In her Jan. 1 column, Alison Berkley described one student as a "fat retarded kid" and "whale boy," and said students' "ultrawealthy" parents "think I'm a miracle worker because their brain-dead kid actually got excited about something besides video games for the first time since the day she turned 13." -- //-Walt // // http://www.bushtax.com/ |

Is it true that the big sign up in the hills has been changed to "HOLLVOOD" ? No, but Caltech hasn't done anything with the sign recently.

Norm was funny for about 2 seasons on SNL and then his schtick wore off. He still makes me laugh. Maybe it's a character flaw on my part, but I even liked the "The Norm Macdonald Show" and even that awful movie "Dirty Work" "Note to self: buy giant tube of anal wart cream" http://imdb.com/title/tt0120654/ But then again "Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers" always makes me laugh too. Hackett? One of the funniest guys on the planet. Jay Mohr did a very nice tribute to Mr Hackman in his televised comedy special. I was being a little too obscure. "Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers" is the name of a musicial/comedy group out of Newfoundland. The name is a variation of what a Newfie says when he can't remember a person's name. Dave |
