The Crew wakes up in the living room, everyone still dressed with a beer in hand. They all shake uncontrollably. The Fire has gone out. Lita awakens and unwraps her arms from Jim Clawson, who hangs on like a blanky being pulled away from a baby. She runs upstairs to jump into a hot shower. She trips over Harry, who is still passed out with his pants around his knees, but he is half way up the stairs....."a drunk walker" Lita says to herself. Harry awakens to Lita running over the top of him and says, "who are you? Where am I?" She ignores him and completes her journey. Harry dumbfounded pulls up his pants and wanders downstairs where he sees a group of rugby players scattered around the living room. He recognizes his buddy Ozzy Pawl, but is confused to who the girl is with him and why he is in the middle of a winter wonderland. He shakes Pawl, who takes a double take at the girl he is with and starts to remember the night. "Yes," he says, "The Australian cock still's got it." Harry begs Pawl to explain what wrinkle in time he is stuck in and why he is here. Pawl raises one eyebrow a bit confused and explains the entire PropWorld concept to which Harry replies, I am in PropWorld, well in that case....and he grabs a beer and starts drinking. Pawl starts to play with the fire to get it roaring again. Harry looks over and sees a man in a wheel chair Tipped over with 10 Guiness cans within a 2 foot radius. "Guess he likes his Guiness," Harry says, as he walks over and helps him back into his chair. Dan's reply, "what happened, I can't feel my legs, I can't feel my legs!" Harry starts to get a bit concerned, but remembers Dan came here in a wheel chair. Dan laughs and then cringes, "now my head, I can feel." Harry goes into the kitchen and starts making breakfast. He cuts some filets and starts making eggs for his sure fire steak and eggs. Slowly, one by one, everyone peeks their head into the kitchen to smell what this drunken fool from the night before is making. Even Lita smells the food and comes down before she can jump into her warm shower. Everyone comments on the food, except Julie, who is still sleeping on the floor in the living room. After eating they clean up the mess from the night before. Harry comments that with the exception of Dan, the group as a whole, really didn't drink that much. On average a 6 pack each, with a couple mixed drinks thrown in. The truth is then told by Lita who reminds everyone that Dan didn't drink all 10 Guiness, he had 6, the other 4 cans were thrown at him when he told a very bad joke, causing him to spill over onto the floor where he passed out. Everyone shared a good laugh about the story, but were still perplexed regarding the light weight status of this group. Ozzy Pawl then explained the altitude factor and the fact that you get drunk faster and cheaper at altitude. He tried to run on about some scientfic theory, but was shot down about 1/2 way through. They finished their morning by going to the bathrooms to shower and get ready for their day of exploration. Lita decided to take a long warm bath prior to departing. Being from the south, her blood freezes quickly. Pawl, not hearing a shower, entered the bathroom just as Lita was blowing bubbles at her toes. He let out a bit of a yelp (like a dingo when it is kicked) and she quickly turned her head smiled and blew some bubbles toward Ozzy. Ozzy got a bit embarrassed and wandered out of the room. On his way he opened up her panty drawer, looked at her selection of undergarmets (none) and b lined down stairs to get an Irish Coffee before they headed out. Harry cleans up the kitchen, neatly packing all the the cooking stuff back in cupboards and wrapping the extra steaks up in tupperware. He thinks to himself, "I hope I can find a tupperware party somewhere in Aspen before I leave. I do love tupperware." |
The group puts on their coats and head outside, where they are instantly blinded by the brightest sight they have ever seen. The snow is reflecting the sun direcltly into their eyes, burning any visual abilities away. They step back in side and each grabs their sun glasses and reenters the world of light. Harry starts to tell a story, "This reminds me of an old Star Trek where Spock, trying to figure out how to kill these little pan cake looking creatures that suck your brains out, gets blinded by McCoy when a bright light sensitivity test goes horribly wrong leaving our pointed eared friend without vision. It returns near the end, but Bones was pretty shaken by the event." Julie laughs at Harry and kisses him on the cheek, "I think Trekies are so cute....they are losers, but they are cute." They start down the ramp and one by one they all fall down on the ice/snow mixture. Dan, unable to "fall" just goes sliding out of control down the ramp, running over Ozzy Pawl and Lita along the way. He goes careening over the edge into a snow drift, where it takes everyone to dig him out. They continue to the "downtown" district and the streets are full of people dressed like Beverly Hills Eskimos. They pass the City Hall and notice it has a large advertisement on the front, "Aspen City Hall, paid for by Columbia Sportswear Company." Nice town.....everyone agrees, but a bit too commercial. They stop for some fast food at McDonalds. They all order the Big MAC value Meal, which a week before in their home towns was $2.99. Here in Aspen, the price had risen with the altitude. $5.99 meal deal. They all shake their head in amazement. They eat their burgars and check out several stores before splitting up. Ozzy walks off with Lita asking questions about home. She tells him all kinds of stories about her many trips to Europe and New Orleans. She also tells him that she plays the Mandolin, which Ozzy just happened to bring along. She decides that she needs one too, so they can Jam together. With Mandolins. Yeah. Nothing is said about Pawl's little visit to the bathroom earlier, but they both know what each other are thinking. Harry is now interested in this girl that kissed him and follows her to store after store. He doesn't even realize that he is walking into all types of stores that he usually would not enter. They share some stories and she fills Harry in on the details that they have already met. He is clueless, then she explains that he was usually drunk though. She played rugby in Ottawa during one of Harry's tours to The Ottawa Indians Rugby Tournament. He nods approvingly, but only remember punching a tent and screaming at a women for not letting him hold her baby. They end up walking back to the house together...meeting Lita and Ozzy along the way. Dan found an Irish Pub and began drinking. About 3 hours later, Jim walks into the same bar and finds his new roommate with 6 women sitting around him. He approaches and they all greet him with smiles and winks. Jim, standing flabergasted, sits down and starts to drink. Conversation bounces around from Dan's estate in Switzerland, to his Olympic Ski jumping accident that left him in his chair. You may have seen it....."Thrill of Victory...the agony of defeat." Dan shook his head, whenver I see that clip, it makes me cringe remembering all the pain. Jim catches on and they stay out most of the night drinking and partying with the ladies. They drag themselves in around 7 AM. The Front rowers first day in Aspen was a good healthy start for what will be 8 weeks of skiing, drinking, partying and Snow Rugby? | ||||||||||||||||||
