I thought Wasilla, Alaska was the crystal meth capital of the world. Did you move?

I'm always moving.

I did not say we were the meth capital. Just a proud contributor to the meth nation. We may be freaky tweaky and our teeth ain't so great, but we'll rock the trailers to the breakadawn and beyond.

Gondolas don't leave a wake.

Isn't the wake in the bottom right hand corner? And he's on the right side of the wake as he faces the back of whatever is pulling him? Although, if that were true, the line would have to be really long, which doesn't make much sense in such a confined space--unless the boat or wave runner is now crossing over to the other side. Nevermind. The wake in the bottom right hand corner is from whatever the cameraman is riding in.

I have given this question far too much thought and now I'm afraid I have none left for work.

Me too. I'm no wakeboarder, but try throwing my ass off a tube!*

*I hate tubing. Instant headache.

the last time i did that was in Lake Ouachita, down by Broken Bow Oklahoma. I heard a story about a family friend in Florida jumping into a lake and hitting a ball of water moccasins; they sleep in a ball. The guy got bit like twenty times and died.

I couldn't stand being a lake that had water moccasins; I couldn't just enjoy the ride.

I really don't see how people live where there are venomous snakes.

on the other hand Venice's canals have no snakes, but sewage does go straight into them, so that dago is water sking in shit water. Coltrane, wanna bet he doesn't take a fake fall?

What's more annoying is those fucking bubble packs all the sudafed is sold in, instead of the nice, convenient 50-tab bottle.

if you don't measure them properly then the meth comes out wrong and people can get hurt. i just think the manufacturers are trying to idiot proof the measurement to avoid Products suits down the road.

It's called wakeboarding, not water skiing. And he's not Italian. Looks like you're back in the hole.

I think meth may bring out the OCD in some people, so the opportunity to pop out hundreds of bubble packed pills may actually be welcomed.

A guy on a moped named Giovanni who tilts his head and says "Ciao" while winking at the ladies. It's not more than a foot of water, you can see pedestrians standing in the background, so it's unlikely that it's a watercraft pulling him.
