"Asking for a friend" thread

[Philpug]

Here is where you post questions you are too embarrassed to ask for yourself, by adding "Asking for a friend" removes all judgment. What ya got?

So...”a friend of mine” keeps asking me what level skier does one need to be to attend and enjoy the many great Gatherings?

In order to attend, you have to SAY you're at least a level seven. In order to enjoy, you have to be able to stumble your way awkwardly down an easy blue groomer and then be able to talk rapturously about it afterward with all the other level seven Pugs who were doing the same thing along with you. In other words, you just have to love skiing.

Isn't there the requirement that your liver be relatively insensitive to alcohol?

It's not a requirement, but it IS a recommendation.

What flask level is that?

Well like the skiing, you have to say you're a 7. But if you can even drink a level 1 cranberry juice or club soda, you're good.

So. A friend of mine asked what it takes to be taken out... By Gwyneth Paltrow.

I thought it was preposterous. But I have to ask ... For him allright?

A friend wants to know if it's bad form to shout "I did it!!" after managing to get over each and every bump on Alfs High Rustler...

So first, you need, like me, to be a bigger fan of her mom, Blythe Danner. Not difficult if you're old enough.

Second, you need to cook better than Gwyneth. Again, not difficult. However, you need to hide that light under a bushel and just use it to make her cooking look better when friends are over.

Finally - this is the hard part - you need to learn Welsh. Good luck.

I didn't think anyone heard that!

A friend just has to know when Josh and Diane are going to have a kid. Now that is going to be a topic.

This is why there is a whole Shotzski Lounge forum. Note that this does NOT mean I will ever touch Ullr again. Blech.

A friend wants to know if his skis will have to pass a true bar test before skiing with Pugs. That's true-bar as in tuning police. This is not a drinking game. I told him the spring exemption period starts the last weekend in March and he is all good. Please confirm.

Yet somehow I feel it could be.

Is a 1.75L bottle of bourbon a single serving bottle? Asking for a friend.

MY skis carry the reminder of every blow that laid them low, or cut them til they cried out on their anger and their pain, I am leaving, I am leaving, but the skis still remain.

When will Colmar or Schneider bib stretch pants come back? Asking for a friend with bad knees, that friggin DRIVES fashion, rather than follows it!

 

[Jwrags]

A friend wants to know whether he should mount his Stockli skis forward of the line

A friend told me that half a 1.75 of Scotch is at least a single serving, whether he knew he drank it or not.
