I call it "liquid courage". Let's you do things on the slopes you might otherwise be to timid to try.

Did you get survival training in school?
They'd show these movies of parents and child out skiing or hiking, and a sudden storm would come through. And the parents would do something stupid, they all die, and the narrator says "What did they do wrong?" and you have to discuss it?
There was always someone passing out hard liquor to the family to "warm them up" that killed them all because it's actually dehydrating and cooling. *laughing*
So alcohol at ski places always reminds me of those cheesy vids.

Never saw any videos like that. But, when my DS was in school, he joined JROTC. I asked him one day what they did. He told me they watched a movie on how to survive in the cold w/an infant-they watched Ice Age.

The Wife and I bought a Wii this weekend. We have been talking about it a for a couple of weeks......but this darn thing has turned out to be a money pit! Started out she got the exercise board on sale. Then we found a Wii on sale. So far so good.......
Got everything home a got it hooked up, but we couldn't get our DVD/ surround sound system and the Wii to work together, we had no sound! Called my computer geek nephew over to have a look at it, and after fooling with the stuff for about an hour, we decided the TV just didn't have enough input places on it to let everything work as it should. After all, the TV is 16-17 years old!
So, we go TV shopping.
Found a screaming deal at the local WalMart(as much as I hate WalMart, we couldn't pass up the deal) 40in Samsung LED TV package, that included a new Samsung Blue Ray DVD player for 749 bucks!
Oh ya.......did I mention we had to get an extra pair of controllers and charging station for the new Wii??
So......to recap.....what started out as a simply 200.00 dollar purchase, quickly ballooned to over 1300 bucks. All so we can do a little exercise at home and shed some weight.
To bad the first place I lost weight was my wallet!!

What's really funny is that we just played Wii bowling last night!
Luckily we were given one for Christmas a few years back...I think we've only played it a handful of times since. Isn't that how this stuff works?
At least you have a new TV!
