Mumster in the logo picture

[M@]

Making a formal motion that Mumster's image be added to the logo (i.e.caption image (http://timefortuckerman.com/ubb/tftboard2003gangcaption.jpg))

It's real nice to see my own mug up there every twenty seconds when I check this board, but I think we can all agree her's would be a nice addition to the blank area in the upper right.

Any seconds to this motion?

(instert the usual and genuine props to SkiDave for excellent work on the board as always)

M@ :ducttape:

[Bannick]

I will second it.

So for a computer illiterate type guy like myself (I know how to use a tilty table and parallel rule mind you), how do you post a picture for your profile. I have tried everything I can think of, even kicking the machine but to no avail.

[M@]

Bannick:
You should just be able to put the URL of the image in the text box location when you edit your profile.

Some hosting services don't allow there content to be contained in another webpage though (i.e. GeoCities).

Post the URL you're trying and I can put the image on my server, and give you a better link that might work. Skidave is pretty good about putting images on the T4T server too, but I think he's camping.

If redundancy is allowed...

I second the motion as well... :mumster:

M@ :ducttape: I'm in favor - her image on the logo would be a plus.

[elwood]

Hey M@-

No offense, but I'd rather see Mum's beautiful smile than your mug up there at all!! :D

[M@]

I am crushed. All this dieting and now I am crushed.

Sorry M@!

Nothing personal, I just like 'em clean shaven!

M@ :ducttape: Thanks, :ducttape: :ma: ,
I'm flattered.
There are others who may also be worthy of this great distinction - I don't see SkiLas' pic up there - and he has almost 100 more posts than me.

elwood:

[skicdave]

Hey ya alls...

Back from camping in the ADK. No snow darn it!

I'll see about adding skimumsterarama in the top logo... maybe only heavy duty posters will appear.

Actually I thought that the image should rotate... different collages each time to accommodate our many fine members. That way nobody could complain too much about :ma: beard and such and hey... even Elwood would be there!

Bannic if you can't link your photo, email it too me. Ideally all profiles and Avatars should be on the t4t server anyways. I've noticed a few using Avatars that are way too big which get resized and load slow for modem users.

[Mumster]

Hey skicdave:

Welcome back. How was camping in the ADK? Any pics? BTW, how were the bugs?
Unfortunately, I was :atwork: all weekend.

[skicdave]

Bugs?? What bugs?? Noper no bugers, tad cool/windy at times though.

Fish Creek Pond is a fantastic campground! Over 285 of the 304 sites there are right on the water! Sand beach all around even. True its busy, but fun place. Met lots of other campers with their big RV's and such. Met someone from MRG even. No snow to be found unfortunately. Water was like bathwater!

Few pix for you mumster...

Dave:
Great trip! Right on the water, that's nice. I'll take a little chill and wind over bugs any day. Wind is good for kites and sailing, and you can always put on a layer or two. Bugs iz good for nothing.

Fixed my avatar. It's smaller than yours now. Feel free to grab the image and put it on your site. If I ever want to make it something different I'll be sure to get the 75x75size and keep the compression down.

We're camping next weekend, hope the bugs don't find us either... or the inevetiable poison ivy, sun burn, rain, burns, cuts & scrapes.

[Bannick]

Sweet white walls!!!! Did you build the teardrop yourself? I will email my photo to you thanks.

B :snowboarding:

[pepperdawg]

Welcome Back Dave!!!

Looks like you guys had a great spot, with some great weather!!!! Good Stuff!!!!!

[skicdave]

Yup :ma: . Almost hard not to get a site on water at Fish Creek Pond. We might be booking the Aug 1 weekend there also. My kites are getting anchient so I didn't bother bringing them... might so be a problem decappitating those water skiers that go by too.

Bannick got your photo, will post it today. The teardrop is manufacturer actually. I don't have time for such projects, and wanted a tear that was well built.

Pepperdawg: Yes we had a nice site.. but certainly not the best one there since there are so many on water. The water was like bath water and the lake had a short sand beach all around so almost all sites had their own beach. There isn't much privacy between sites, but if you don't might that its hard to beat.


Were are you going camping :ma: ?

[Mumster]

Seems like it was a fun trip.

What does the tear look like on the inside?

[M@]

We're camping on Vaughn's Island in Maine. Just up the coast from the predisdent's house. It's a 95 acre uninhabited tidal island, you walk there at low tide, but at high tide there's a Tide-Depth river cutting it off. So we pick a weekend where the tide is low on a friday night. We've been going once a year for like 7-8 years now.

It's a zero-facilities type camping, but car-type camping as you park about 300 yards from your campsite.

There's room for like 5-6 campsites, and you never know who else is gonna be there. There's one site on the point of the island surrounded by ocean with a light-house view that we try to get but have found it occupied the past 2 years. You get no tree-cover out there so it's a sun-screan-application all day long but worth it.

Lobster bake saturday night. MMMmmm... lobster.

Perfect kite flying location.

Great pix, Dave, and I envy your bugless trip! We just got back from Katahdin and the bugs were relentless above the treeline. I don't even know what they were (small, swarming flying things that were not mosquitos) that attacked us despite out DEET repellant, leaving bites everwhere. Itchy lumps with a red mark in the center. Yuch. The weather was perfect, though.

Did you get that great meal at the Lake Placid Lodge?

-BG

[skicdave]

Nope bladegirl, didn't dine out at LPL this time... was just too nice at Fish Creek Pond and we blew our budget by buying some tequila.

We did scout out the area a bit including some of the fine resorts around Saranac Lake. Shopped for some items in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid to dress up/personalize our trailer. Best item was a fake bear throw rug for inside the trailer cabin since the trailer attracts a lot of 'look and seers'. Still have to find something 'ski' oriented. Thinking of airbrushing a retro ski theme on the outside aluminum skin .

[Bannick]

Thanks for posting my pic dave....the photo is a hommage to Elwood of sorts given his passion (healthy preoccupation with) for the malted nectar and there is snow flying around ( :beer: & :snowflakes: two of my favourite things). So has anyone ever brought a keg up into the ravine or is drinking openly in the revine frowned on by ranger types and patrolers? I have this idea for a helium filled keg transporter....patent pending. You could even sled down tucks on it....the other ravine room furniture.

B :snowboarding:

[Mumster]

Bannick:
Congrats on the avatar.

Search the word "keg" for numerous previous topics for keg transport discussions... keg cannon , etc. SkiLas is working devising a system, and someone is trying to get saxman to fly kegs in.

[skicdave]

Ok updated 'group photo' now appearing up top. We should include active posters (ok maybe we'll let Naked Guy and Al Sahhaf slip by this criteria). How about you Bladester? Do you have a photo for us to use or do we have to use the snowman? :p

[Mumster]

Let me see what I can do this weekend and send it over to you.

-BG (being dragged into 21st century technology)

[skicdave]

Well mumster... lets start a rumour. Personally I think Elwood is :nakedguy: :p

... but don't tell anybody!

I'll make a few other 'collages' for up top when I get some time.

BG - We'll be waiting for that photo! Embrace technology !!!

[DMC]

Well - whoever :nakedguy: is...

If I was him I wouldnt be too quick to announce it..

Maybe he was cold... It was a little chilly that day... uhh... nevermind...

[skicdave]

Well all I can say about :nakedguy: is that he is a really good skier. He carved that run down The Chute through the slush with more confidence and technique than I have ever seen... he's definately a good skier.

I wouldn't even dream of taking a 'crack' at a run like that, no 'butts' about it. :p

[skicdave]

Oh my! I just checked my slew of photos and noticed I did get a shot when he turned his head... anybody recognize him??

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/nakedguy2003elwood.jpg

[Mumster]

:skicdave: Elwood wears a :helmet: , so it isn't likely to be him. I saw the video clip and agree - :nakedguy: is a terrific skier.

Did anyone notice what type of skis he was using? We could match them to the "favorite skis" topic. The boots look like technicas, but I don't recall a T4T boot topic.

...definitely a male

Hair dark for Castlerock (and the wrong boots), probably too young for RR, too thin for Dr. Piddle or JollyJ.

Doubt it was DMC, given his comment...
That leaves Skilas and M@ but both have the wrong :skiboots: ...it just doesn't look like Stoogie..It wasn't you, Dave, was it? :eek:

BG -
Just scan it in.

[skicdave]

Come on now mumsterdudette...

I was taking the photos. I do agree 'it' was a male. Maybe its Bannick since his new Avatar has himself bundled up to the neck, maybe as a decoy :p

Look up, 2 postings above :mumster:

[Mumster]

Bannick is still in training for TR.
I'll concede you would be likely to wear a :helmet: .

:lips: your Elwoodization of the photo, but I still just don't think it's him...the beard and all.

:disinfo: doesn't ski well enough.

What about Saxman? Does he ski?

[DMC]

Mumster:
Doubt it was DMC, given his comment...Well I was taking PIX of the naked guy... Besides - he skis... And I'm a prude.. the only person I get naked for is my Woman! And she doesnt do Tucks..

Great Pics, DMC. OK, you're off the hook since you are a dedicated snowboarder.
Still can't get a clear focus on the skis - in your second photo they almost look like they have racing tips....??volkl slalom - (they look short) with marker bindings?

On closer inspection, the boot color also could be Dalbello's racing boot.

Anyone have Pix with a clear view of what he's wearing...?

[skicdave]

Mumster:


Anyone have Pix with a clear view of what he's wearing...? Er... nothing??? :p

Not sure.. but that may be a Arc'Teryx Spear 24 backpack though... ;)

Bit hard to see.. but I think those are Atomics.

Those photos provide a bit too much info DMC.. yikes!

[Bannick]

Yep Mum has it right still waiting to hit tucks and I snowboard. Actually I have never been downhill skiing, my knees are too jeffed up for that. The thought of having those long pointy things attached to the appendages kinda freaks me out.

Here is a thought...someone else could have been using Dave's camera. Fess up dave.....the rat...err cat is out of the bag. You almost had us fooled with pointing the finger at elwood.

hmmmmm.

B :snowboarding:

[skicdave]

Can't be me.. my day packs are purple and the other yellow. My skis are Crossmax's and my poles are not as straight as Naked Guy 2003. As well my boots are gray not rednwhite. Nuff details!

About the most 'full moon' you will get out of me is this one.. taken last night out of my window...

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/moon20030715.jpg

[Mumster]

I seem to recall something about Dave and crossmax - those skis definitely aren't crossmax. We may have to let him off the hook.

Who could we have missed? Bladegirl and RR are the only ones who have defied our attempts to get photos.....for all we know she's really BladeGuy...

[Bannick]

I think you are letting dave off too easy. If you are gonna go skiing around all naked you aint gonna want to be easily identified. My vote stays with Dave.

B :snowboarding:

[Mumster]

skicdave:
[QUOTE]Bit hard to see.. but I think those are Atomics.If the white on the edges is snow, they could be the short atomic race-carve skis.......
Bannick: Dave spends a lot of time telling people to wear :helmet: . He probably wouldn't do a tough run without one.
Whoever :nakedguy: is, it sure looks like he is enjoying his run.

Anyone know if he was given a fine?

[Frankontour]

LOL, what a conversation. It can't be me neither, as I never went to Tucks. (next year for sure). When I saw the pics of last april 19, I wasn't able to believe a skier skied it T2B barenaked with hundreds or thousands of persons in the ravine at the same moment.

I really would like to know his motivations for doing that ! May be a guy that lost a bet. Here, there is 2 radio morningmen that would have been obliged to take a run naked outside the radio station if the Anaheim Mighty Ducks had won the Stanley Cup ! (the Devils have beaten the Ducks in the 7th game of the Stanley cup finals !! ouffff)

[Mumster]

Frankontour:

I thought it was something more noble than that - like some type of sacrifice to the snow gods.

[Skilasnow]

I'm with mumster. It is a spiritual communion with the snow gods, and he is not the only initiate. There are a few every year.

[skicdave]

Mumsterbuttons...

Yes I believe he was fined... we're still not certain what the fine is though. $250 rings a bell... definately another trivia question indeed for future inductees to the elusive Toni Matt club!

Another 'body' care to divulge (spello?) the fine you.. I mean 'someone' would pay to buff it down tucks?

.oO { who would dare to answer that! and thus incriminate thy self }

[M@]

How sure are you he was fined? I know of a group of people who skiid tux in the buck and they weren't fined to my knowledge.

M@

[Frankontour]

About the sacrifice to the snow gods, it could be another possibility... especially for Tucks.

We should do that in the southern Quebec, as we have twice less snow than into New England. I think I would only do that in a lost ski area where I'm sure I wouldn't see anybody during my run ;) lol

[elwood]

I am sure Dr. Phos would snowboard Tucks naked if we could raise the money to pay for his fine!! In fact, he even told me he would.

[skicdave]

M@:

M@ Maybe so :ma: .. just curious though was this group male or female? ;)

[Skilasnow]

you have to get caught to be fined ;)

I don't think it is $250. I was talking to a member of the vol. ski pat. last time I was up and I thought he $50, but I might be remebering wrong

[skicdave]

We'll I'll offer a free T4T membership :p to anyone who knows how much the fine is... we need this info for the inductnation into the Toni Matt Club questionaire.

[M@]

The group was male and female. One guy came down the shoot next to me, then 3 more came over the headwall on the right gulley. (1 girl 2 guys) One of the right gully guys lost it on the headwall and rolled all the way down.

That must have been some serious snowburn!!! Hot damn that's gotta hurt! I don't think you'll catch me doing that (Unless skimum's friend put me up to it! ;) )

[surfy]

It won't be me. I'm not a good enough skiier to try that. Actually, the way I ski I was thinking more along the lines of full body armor.

It could be the worst day ever, and unable to go on, I retreat to T4T for a moment of reprieve. Then one of you comes out with something like this..... Words can't describe how hard you guys make me laugh.

[Frankontour]

About the fine, I asked the question to Mark Renson (voluntary patrol + specialist of Tucks)

Never written to him, so I don't know if he will answer me. If he does, I'll forward you his answer :)

I really liked the top 5 reasons why to not ski Tucks naked ! lololol ! It remembers me something... I don't know if you had the TV ad in USA, but here, I think it was a Sprite ad explaining the best reasons to not ski or board naked. I think this was the most comic ad I've seen of my life. (about 2-3 years ago)

[Frankontour]

Answer :

<<I forgot the exact amount.

I recommend you don't do it. I hate to be a buzz-killer, but ya'gotta' look at the "big picture". The reason we don't like to see naked skiing is because: It's on National Forest land - i.e. it's
for the entire pubic - oops - I mean public meaning anyone from 8 to 80, prudes and yahoos. Now picture this, some dad brings his innocent 12 y/o daughter up to experience the Bowl for the first time..... and then some yahoo on boards shows up showing genitals and the full length of butt-crack, scarring her for life, etc, etc.>>

I asked him if it was closer of 50$ or 250$ later ;)

I must admit I agree with his opinion and anyway... imagine falling into the Chute while skiing naked, with some snow that cuts like a knife ! ... may be fatal

[Bannick]

They used to do the whole nudist thing at whistler years ago. It wasn't just one or two..they had whole events to the pursuit of "free-skiing" so to speak. Maybe T4T could sponsor a naked day in the ravine. You thought it gets busy on a sunny day, add the promise of nudity and it will be jammed. The same thing happens when they have naked bungy day in Nanaimo BC.

I have ripped my snowboard pants bailing on a hard-pack day. I shudder to think of what else i could rip.
