Pirate Theatre Stepping Up Its Game: Latest Show Heading to Outdoor Stage and then ... Boulder?
Written by Ally Grownsup Monday, 13 August 2012
After living in its mother's basement in Steamboat Springs for
more than a decade, Pirate Theatre is finally "leaving the nest"
and taking its show on the road. The troupe's latest multimedia
musical comedy, "Powder Haze: A Day in the Life at a Ski Town,"
will be performing at the Boulder International Fringe Festival
from Aug. 23-25, 2012, in the legendary People's Republic of
Boulder, Colo.
Pirate Theatre's new show hits Steamboat on Aug. 18, 2012, before rolling down into Boulder.
However, the group needed to take some baby steps before leaving its beloved home, so it scheduled a one-time performance in Steamboat Springs on Saturday, August 18, at 8 p.m. But in order to get their coddled and insecure prima donna performers out of their comfort zones, the show will be held, for the first time ever, at the outdoor stage in Gondola Square (buy tix here or at All That Jazz in Steamboat).
"It's about damn time those kids got out of my basement and tried to do something with their lives," said Gaia Pirate, the mother whose basement was a comfortable haven to Pirate Theatre for so many years. "Most of them are grown men and women, yet the idea of doing something outside of Steamboat had them pissing in their knickers."

Written by Stoned Goddard Monday, 30 July 2012
U.S. Forest Service biologists, who have been working diligently
to produce a genetically modified tree resistant to pine beetles,
appear to have made an astonishing discovery that could lead to
complete reforestation by 2025.
Scientists believe they can repopulate millions of acres of forest land with pine-beetle resistant pine trees created by grafting Kandy Kush buds onto young saplings. As a side benefit, the new strain of trees could have a street value into the trillions of dollars.
The scientists were able to graft Kandy Kush buds, known for their pest resistance and pleasant high without any paranoia, to young lodgepole pine saplings, creating a new tree that's both resistant to pine beetles and "eminently smokeable."
"This is a huge breakthrough," said Forester Jan Twitchy. "As you've seen from our decimated forests, normal lodgepoles were defenseless against the pine beetle. But this "superstrain" of Kandy Kush lodgepoles appears to leave any beetle that attacks it in a lifeless state of catatonia, unable to do anything of consequence. And we were further delighted when one of our interns tried smoking its needles and got really baked."
So in addition to repopulating dying national forests, the U.S. Forest Service is hoping the Kandy Kush lodgepoles will revive the nation's tree-harvesting economy.
"Just think...

By Standard 5-4 Margin, Supreme Court Decides to Order Bar-B-Q, Watch American Dad!
Written by Lala Icanthearyou Sunday, 22 July 2012
After a long day of reading government briefs on health care and
campaign donations, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to unwind in its
chambers, order some takeout and watch a little TV. However, some
members of the constantly losing side became unhinged when the
court voted 5-4 to again order Bar-B-Q and watch reruns of American
Dad!
Members of the Supreme Court (mostly not pictured) once again voted 5-4 to order "American food": barbecued pork ribs and baked beans. Dissenting suggestions of pizza and Chinese food were summarily rejected by the court's conservative branch as being "too ethnic."
"I'm not sure how much more of this I can take," noted perennial loser Sonia Sotomayor. "Those of us appointed by Democrat presidents just wanted to, for once, get control of the TV and watch Family Guy, but the usual gang of Republican mouthpieces ruled that the Family Guy creators are too liberal and the show promotes too many San Francisco values, whatever that means. Of course, I tried to tell them that Seth MacFarlane created and writes for both shows, but they just laughed and said that was ridiculous. I even opened up the Wikipedia pages to show them, but none of those conservatives will ever touch a computer, except for Roberts, who just shrugs his shoulders and says, 'what can I do?'"
The contentious air increased when...
