Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 08, 2023

I’ve never heard of a nice day to go skiing, but that’s because it’s not one of my preferred activities. Jill Kinmont wound up being paralyzed for the rest of her life because she liked skiing.

Compare these “successful” ski-jumpers to B.C. today:

In the snowy chill, I went skiing down the hill, I took a terrible spill, then got plowed into by Jill.

I think that travelling first class would be a lot safer.

Get the breakage over with as soon as possible.

So Many FACEPLANTS so little time !

And the guy crashing on the ski jump.

Ski lift and ski jump in one.

There was a time when I would’ve likely given that a try … not anymore, of course …

After a few beers (or ten) you’d have guys lining up for that thing.

The only broken bone I ever had was my ankle from going down an icy hill on my son’s GT Racer.

Getting there is half the fun!

It’s a dogapult.

Okay. So, I initially thought that was pretty silly but then I got to thinking. I wonder how that would work on the Lake of the Ozarks. Enough beer and a few red necks and we could have a party. At least until Billy Bob drowns, again.

At least the landing is “flump” and not “crash” but then, the snow hasn’t frozen yet.

Ski lifts require 1st class.

I think that joke “Flumpd”!

Sort of wonder why anyone is foolish enough to try this. But notice that he hasn’t launched the Fink.

They should use that on the southern border to send back the invaders.

The economy airlift is a quarter mile short of its goal‼️

The wizard rides economy class, that’s weird. Looks like only the fink rides the business class, the balloon.

I’d enjoy skiing a lot more if it wasn’t constantly being attacked by killer trees.

Like it was only yesterday!! Tempus fugit!!

BC and the Wizard of Id must be practicing for their annual meet…

I do not ski-though I have some odd stories about cross country work, but my wife used to. she’d ski, i’d sit and read. When we lived in NY it was about a 2-3 hour drive to slopes.

There was a place called Catamount that had the lodge perilously close to the bottom of the slope.

More than once i saw a kid who didn’t know how to break ski down and into the wooden wall, ‘boom’ it was liek a freaking cartoon.

Needs a little adjustment.

Uphill Skiers.

More weight. It’s not getting them to the top.

Does the Wiz normally ski without skis?

The ski jump can’t be any worse than the lift.
