Way Before Sochi, We Kicked It Old Skool. 1980s Ski Flying — And Crashing

Way Before Sochi, We Kicked It Old Skool. 1980s Ski Flying — And Crashing


Ah, the eighties. It’s worth it just to see the high-tech animation of how ski flying works at around five and a half minutes. Cutting edge, that. Of course, it’s always fun to hear the dulcet tones of old pink eyes Costas, who I always picture in my mind’s eye sitting on a stack of telephone books. Hey kids, ask your parents what telephone books are. I mean, what they were. They had telephone books in the eighties. The yellow ones were filled with numbers that had something to do with a functioning economy, as I recall. We had one of those in the eighties too. Ask your parents about that while you’re at it. They’re right upstairs, on the first floor of the house.

If you’re wondering what its carbon footprint is like, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’re concerned about how noisy it might be, you’re lost.

If you’re wondering why anyone would take a Peterbilt and strap jet engines on it, perhaps you’d be happier over at the Huffington Post.

If your first reaction is, “I wonder where I can get one of those?” please take a seat on the BSBFB bench.

The beauty of curating this blog is that nothing featured here and none of my comments have to make a lick of sense. No one has to accomplish anything. No time cards need be punched. There is no expectation of a worthwhile use of time, coming or going.

The numbers don’t have to add up. The plot doesn’t have to develop. Mankind does not have to feel the ennobling hand of the divine. Someone’s just got to roll down a hill really fast for no reason, then stop for some other reason, and we all go home happy.

Little known fact: Henry, of Henry’s Kitchen fame,  has won the coveted Michelin Star for his cooking. Well, it wasn’t a Michelin Star, exactly; I got to thinking about it, and thought it might have been  a Goodyear Star or something, but then I looked it up, and it turns out he just had a coupon for ten percent off on two Hankook tires for a Kia. But my point stands. I think. Whatever.
