  1. WP is nice but it's a bit of a detour for an area that, well, just doesn't have that much to me.  Plus the town is pretty dead.  I know some might say no way, you can always ski/apres great stuff if you know where to look, but I was never big on that area.  As far as cold, I think A Basin gets about as cold as anywhere.  The sun takes awhile to come up over the East Face and it really doesn't warm up until late morning many times, plus, it's so friggin' high it seems to get pretty chilly... it's got a big bowl shape, and faces essentially north.  But I still love that area.
    It's definitely different than Breck or Vail. That's why i like it, but to each his own.

    Haven't skied WP in about 12 years.  I always remember it being one of the colder resorts in the area.

    I don't know that it's materially colder than any of the other big CO resorts (the Fraser valley definitely gets colder, but not necessarily the resort).  They can all get really cold under the right conditions and they're always cold at the top of the moutain.

    We have a 14 year old poodle who is living on borrowed time so we broke down and got a lab almost two weeks ago.  She turned 9 weeks old yesterday.  Its been so long since we've had a puppy that I'd forgotten how much work it is.

    Dr. Narwhals Mating is the clear winner.  It's perfect in its absurdity.  You have the unearned medical degree conferred by birth certificate, an obscure and ridiculous animal with a huge spear coming out of its head and a sexual reference to tie the whole package together.

    According to Google, he's a real MD.

    Fantastic show. Loved Artie and all the cameos by comics throughout the season.

    I'm amazed that Artie is that open about his drug issues on the show.  That's gotta be tough to do.

    I prefer a Manhattan with 2 parts Pikesville, 1 part Carpano Antica, a few dashes of Angostura, 2 Luxardo cherries.  Chilled, straight and in a lowball.  Fuck the girly coupe glass.  

    My uncle used to make Manhattans with Southern Comfort.  Only took one before I never asked him for another.

     

    I prefer bourbon in my Manhattans, but my recipe is very similar.  2 parts Eagle Rare, 1 part Dolins, couple dashes of Peychaud's and 2 Luxardos.  Fan-fucking-tastic.  I have to be careful when I make them because I tend to get housed.

  7. Yeah, they are long, although totally worth it when he has good guests on.  I know he is a comic and that is why he has a lot of other comics on his show, but I prefer the episodes with the folks that don't come from his world.  Podcasts with people like Phil Demers, Kyle Kulinski, Bret Weinstein, Mel Gibson and Jordan Peterson, to name a few recent ones, are a lot more interesting to me than hearing Joey Diaz come on for the 300th time, even though he's a funny motherfucker.

  8. What are the odds on craps if you play right (or is there a 'right' way to play)?  Odds have gotten so bad on BJ that poker is the only casino game I really play anymore, but it's fun to have a drunk, social game to play.
