It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

John has asked that I post about the "pierced meets privileged" phenomenon in Aspen during ESPN's Winter X Games. Alas our condo was rented for the majority of the Games, and I arrived after most of the fun. My husband was thrilled with the rental, however - because a) we made money, and b) the guy who rented the place worked for Jeep and was "really cute" - think this:
One of the more surprising happenings was the 35-foot fall from the chair lift of disabled skier and X Games competitor Kimberly Jones. According to news reports, she was loaded incorrectly on the lift (who, exactly was at fault is still hotly debated here) and was unable to hold on for the entire ride. Amazingly, she was only bruised - not broken - and managed to compete.
Fortunately, the X Games are scheduled to be here through 2007, so I'll have plenty of reports on future competitions. And I will have info on the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, coming up this weekend. Stay tuned.
