Steamboat Springs

Missing Snowmobilers Found

Written by R. U. Sirius Wednesday, 04 April 2007

Three members of Routt County Hunt and Fetch walked into the Tugboat Bar and Grill last night and found
one hundred and fifty three missing snowmobilers, some of them not seen since 1979.  The missing snowmobilers, one hundred and forty nine men and four women, were thought to be generally in good condition.   

Some of the men were said to be suffering from long term exposure to loud, grade B rock and roll, bad dance moves, inebriation, consumption of starchy and greasy foods and blue balls.  All four women were suffering from exposure to loud, grade D pickup lines in Texas accents.  In other words, they were no worse off than 75% of the tourists who come to Steamboat Springs.

Routt County Hunt and Fetch Cocktail Hour Commander Dr. Levingston I. Presume said this was by far the largest group of missing snowmobilers ever found.  In 1986, a group of sixty seven missing snowmobilers was found at the Strawberry Fields Hot Springs.  Many of the members of that group were suffering from overexposure and dehydration.  Then, in 1997,  a group of 36 missing snowmobilers won the Triple Clown Slow Pitch Softball Tournament.  Some of the members of that group were thought to have joined the missing snowmobilers at the Tugboat Bar and Grill.

In other Hunt and Fetch news, three ice climbers attempting to turn Fish Creek Falls into the world's largest frozen Margarita had to be rescued while salting the rim of the falls.

It's Wrong to Accept Free Ski Passes ... and Golf Passes ... and Hookers

City Council Member Clowny Kenner created a clear conflict of interest in accepting undeclared gifts. He admitted to accepting a ski pass and other minor items, and that showed a lack of good judgment. And although I have no actual knowledge of him accepting hookers, I think we can all agree that it would be a bad thing to do.

It doesn't matter if any of those gifts were donated for just cause, such as him working with the local ski club or the Steamboat Center for Disadvantaged Hookers. Because he can make decisions that affect these organizations, such as passing legislation that might favor the ski resort financially or legalize prostitution in Steamboat, any act of perceived favoritism can warp the public perception of the office of City Council. And that's unacceptable.

A cornerstone of our democracy is the faith of the constituents. And if that faith is lost, it can be very difficult to regain. We're only as strong as our weakest link, and, at least morally, I believe we know who the council's weak link is.

Intracourse to Rename Rainbow Run

Written by Harry Armpits Wednesday, 04 April 2007

Bowing to pressure from local citizens and corporate shareholders who were made mildly uncomfortable by the Rainbow Family of Living Light's brief presence in Routt County, Steamboat Ski Resort's new owner, Intracourse, has announced plans to rename one of its most popular ski runs: Rainbow.

Due to an illogical fear of hippies and those proudly gay, the Rainbow ski run will be renamed.Due to an illogical fear of hippies and those proudly gay, the Rainbow ski run will be renamed.

"It just doesn't feel right any more," stated Stiff Whitey IV, Steamboat spokesperson. "That used to be my favorite run. But now, when I go down it, I feel icky. It's like I'm skiing on dreadlocks, and the snow machines are blowing patchouli on me. And a lot of our most wealthy, and therefore important, guests have said the same thing."

In announcing the name change, Intracourse cited the lead of Steamboat's Rainbow Festival, the annual gathering of multi-colored hot-air balloons that recently changed its name to the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo, possibly to not be confused with hippies or those who are "gay and proud of it."
