Operation Domination a success!

Excuse the lateness of this post, but it's been a busy week...

I wanted to thank one and all for making Operation Domination one of our most successful trips to date. While not the most alcohol laden trip so far (thank God or we would be dead right now), we more than made up for that in complete and total all mountain domination. The unofficial totals:

Over 25,000 calories in beer consumed
Over $600 CN spent on beer alone
Over 15 hours on and off piste with over 60 trails skied
One speeding ticket
Over 400 cubit meters of gas expelled and of course...
One broken back by Thorpe

I am very much looking forward to next year and am getting the skis sharpened and waxed as soon as possible. Great season all!

Project Bullseye link moved

Although Project Bullseye is officially over, the weight loss does not stop here (in fact, I've already lost a half pound since coming back). If you're curious about the further slimming exploits of one Mr. Pete and one Mr. Jim, they can still be found here or on the Project Bullseye link on the right hand side of the page. Mmmm... I can still taste the porterhouse, I mean, victory.

The Biggest Loser

This morning, I settled something that has been in dispute for some time. This morning, I proved without a doubt that I am the biggest loser this ski team has ever seen. For years, we have been searching for that person; that unbelievable loser that only comes once in a lifetime. Today, I say to you without shame that I AM that loser.

Sure, there have been some quite impressive losers over the years. People who have spent their entire lives trying to be the best loser of them all. John Basedow? Richard Simmons? Jared from Subway? Sure, big losers in their own right. I will freely admit that to you. However, this morning, it is yours truly that shines as the undisputed, world champion loser.

I would like to take this time to thank everyone on the PQFI who backed my becoming the greatest loser of them all and wish them a happy and safe domination this weekend. Truly, it will be a sight to behold.

P.S. - I beat Thorpe in our weight loss competition too. Pay up sucka!

Project Bullseye Update

It's the final countdown!!!

We're leaving together, but still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back; to earth, who can tell
I guess there is no one to blame; we're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again
It's the final countdown...
The final countdown, ooh oh!!!

PQFI, prepare to launch.
T-minus 44 hours until 6am Saturday departure.
Tremblant....It's not how far you go, it's how go you far.

Hoodies? We've got hoodies.

Yes folks, we have hoodies. It looks like everything arrived and was printed properly except for my baseball jersey with "Dominate" on the back. Other impressions:

1. The hats aren't all that great. They'll be good for getting sweaty after skiing or the gym.
2. The ringer T's aren't as good quality as the baseball jerseys, but they'll suffice.
3. Tom's grey T-shirt came out great.
4. As did Wilson's bib.

My hoodie is washed and ready to dominate. I can't wait for Friday night!

Mr. Mojo Risen

With our trip a mere 10 days away and some warm weather in the forecast, I'd like to call upon the mystical powers of the now-streamlined "Thorpedo" to use his mojo to ensure adequate ski, drink and fun conditions.

Feelin' the flow...

Progression

Folks, I just wanted to post something this morning (less than two weeks before Operation Domination's kickoff) to let you all know that I am so very pleased with the progression of the team this year. I feel that there is an overwhleming amount of excitement and interest this year. Even more so than last year. Let's break it down, shall we?

1. We had a great warm up trip to loosen the ski legs.
2. Pete and I are dieting and exercising our hearts out to get in top physical shape for this trip.
3. We got together and ordered a set of PQ clothing that is even now on route to my office (currently in Columbus, OH)
4. We have updated trip info (even more updated than the other day... take a look)
5. We are technologically outfitted with iPods, iPod shuffles, DVD players, and proper road warrior vehicles for the trip.
6. Our plans are set for departure. Even though we will be over a hundred miles away on the start, we will meet up as a team.
7. There is no number seven.
8. We have some great mother jokes waiting.

What does this mean? I'll tell you what this means. Not only will this be a Tree-mendous trip, but I predict that general wackiness will be at an all time high. Let's get this on! I can't wait!
