...but this is definitely the only way this blog would even consider entering the slalom.

I would think it helps to be drunk when skiing.

It's just like driving drunk? What a moron...yeah...just like driving drunk...except there's not a steel frame and an airbag between you and the tree.
Posted by: Azamiel | January 06, 2006 at 02:39 PM
That's the only way I would go down some of those trails.

"Asked if the risk meant he would never ski drunk again, Miller replied 'No, I’m not saying that.'"
Spoken like a true guy.

The hardest part is not spilling your beer.

(And I mean that in the nicest possible way.)
Posted by: golfwidow | January 06, 2006 at 02:40 PM

What were his last words?
"Hold my beer and watch this!"
Posted by: fivver | January 06, 2006 at 02:46 PM
Huh. For a real challenge he should ski passed out.
Posted by: Somewhere North | January 06, 2006 at 02:47 PM
you should ski passed out!

"His name is Bode, he does the downhill.
With a flask in each ski-pole, he tries not to lose control...."

Darn you AWbh, I had almost gotten that tune out of my head.
Posted by: Sarcasmo | January 06, 2006 at 02:52 PM
yeehaw!
man, what a coincidence!
i happen to be skiing drunk right now, as i am typing this.
and i can tell you this for sure, the hardest part about skiing drunk is
Hey guys.
My name is Brad Thompson, and i just found this laptop laying over here by this tree.
Does anyone know who it may have belonged to?
More specifically, does anyone know how to contact the previous owner's next of kin?

Yeah. Flying down at 80 MPH while drunk is MY idea of fun. Stupid F***ing moron. I am SO glad he represents the U.S.

Now its off to surgery, for Mr. Bode..
He was skiing way too fast, now he's in a body cast..
Posted by: Sean | January 06, 2006 at 02:56 PM
I don't think this bodes well for him..
Posted by: Sean | January 06, 2006 at 02:58 PM
Sean - Oui, oui!
and I think Down in Texas has mountain envy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 06, 2006 at 02:58 PM
Well see, the last time I skied passed out I missed the third mogul and my flailing pole accidentally hooked a gondala which then malfunctioned and dumped its lone passenger, you, who were a bit niggled at the brain damaged suffered and as a direct result of the court order I've been told in future to stroll down hills in an athletic fashion rather than ski drunk.
Posted by: Somewhere North | January 06, 2006 at 03:00 PM
And that is why I no longer ski passed out.
Posted by: Somewhere North | January 06, 2006 at 03:01 PM
S'North - you are an enigma wrapped in a snowbank covered with gondola passengers.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 06, 2006 at 03:02 PM
The Fascists really are taking things too far:
sanctioned for "...refusing to take a boot test."
Guess he wouldn't puke on command.
Posted by: Capt. Pike | January 06, 2006 at 03:05 PM
Hey Bode, what medal did you get at the Olympics?
Goldschlagger !
Posted by: Sean | January 06, 2006 at 03:05 PM
Yes, Annie. But as I mentioned, I'm really sorry about that.
Posted by: Somewhere North | January 06, 2006 at 03:07 PM
Hey! That crapweasel stole my sharpie at the 2002 Winter Olympics! Rat bastard.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | January 06, 2006 at 03:09 PM
Woohoo! I got posted! First time in a long time even though I've sent our fair mistress judi NUMEROUS other blogworthy items.
I was also kind of curious about the boot test. WTH is that?
Posted by: Brian B | January 06, 2006 at 03:19 PM
I'm ready for the slalalom...the slalooom,.... the salami.... the back-and-forth gate thingie.
Posted by: insomniac | January 06, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Probably checking his ski boots for any contraband (i.e. steroids, liquor bottles, nail files).
Posted by: Sarcasmo | January 06, 2006 at 03:40 PM
?
Posted by: | January 06, 2006 at 03:47 PM
Well if you can't keep your steroids and alcohol in your boot where would you keep it? My hands are occupied with these d*mn poles.
Posted by: Somewhere North | January 06, 2006 at 03:50 PM
*snork* @ packsaddle!
That *snork* was for you as well, Cleveland.
Posted by: southerngirl | January 06, 2006 at 05:19 PM
Gag-inducing quote: Try and ski a slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second ...
What?
If that is an accurate transcription by the reporter, it sounds as if he's still drunk ... at best ...
Posted by: U.O | January 06, 2006 at 07:52 PM
Now there's a challenge Reporting While Intoxicated. I take that back. Actually, every newcaster on CNN is RWI, and they get away with it.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | January 07, 2006 at 11:07 PM
*googles boot test*
American Bode Miller was fined $762 for refusing to take a boot test Thursday at a World Cup slalom race.
Miller was randomly selected to take the test -- which checks whether the height of the base of the boot is permissible...
Wow, $762.... did I say "Wow"?
... thought I did.
