We all have heard about this story:
One person decided that “due to global warming” he didn’t need his skis anymore. Then, he used a unique homogenization process to solve the problem of having skis. Watch the video:

Er, is there a purpose to this?
Yeah, I know that The Independent shows up as a warmist rag; take note of the recent hatchet job they tried to do on Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary (see http://tinyurl.com/34cco2l).
I also know that the pinheaded root weevils of the MSM do everything they can to make such things as that “Ain’t Never Gonna Be More Snow in Britain” headline go down the Memory Hole, so nice job pulling it up and posting it.
But isn’t this kinda sorta the typical boring “dog-bites-postman” story that gets buried below the fold on page 12?

LOL. This whole series on YouTube is hilarious and an excellent marketing campaign. There is also a parody called does it blend where they try to do things like the one ring and light sabres.
I am thinking of buying a set of X-c skis just to get to work this winter.
Heck of a blender….
Hmmm… Will it mend?
Craziness can be found everywhere.
We all need humor in our lives. I am talking about this intentional kind. It would seem we have way to much of the unintentional around. Some balance is required.
Now I know what to do with my skiis- since I bought the snowboard. I’m inviting that guy to my next margarita party…
Humor has a way of putting a bit of perspective in life … for those who have it … humor, that is.
Yeah, I’ve chuckled over those videos on YouTube.
They are a rip-off of Dave Letterman’s long running “will it float” segment. Dave has always had a penchant for these kind of destructive humorous antics. He used to throw objects off of the studio building just to watch them smash on the ground and he also ran things over with a steam roller.
You’ll never be able to fit my fat snowboard into a blender!

This kind of thing makes me proud to be a scientist. It reminds me of that guy who won the contest for igniting charcoal on a barbeque by adding two gallons of liquid oxygen before ignition. Great sound effects, a mushroom cloud but nobody hurt while the hibachi was mostly vaporized.
I actually met this dude in Vegas. These vids make a TON of money.

Killer blender. Got to have one! Because summer 201o in Seattle was such a bust I’m now so ready for a Margarita Summer, 2011!
Here in the Pacific North Wet we get the La Niña/Pineapple express dump which is good for our rain forests (everything is a rain forest here) and our salmon harvest, but it makes us crazy and we vote the liberal party in year after year.
One thing I’ve noticed is that during high sun spot activity years we have low birthrate, high homicide rates, and we eat a lot of boiled Spotted Owl.
Cause or effect? You decide.
Em… Are you going to finish those narwhal chops?
Wow, that blender is some serious equipment! Really, you could make a mean margarita with that sucker. I am sure that could homogenize whatever you wanted it to!

Think you’ve got something there. Raw materials just cost about a watt and a button press, great choice of flavors, GISS, HadCRUT, NOAA, NASA, hmm..mmm..good, and all of that CO2 heat inside each can fire the homogenizers itself. Great idea! Or, or… just throw them all in for a real ‘suicide’ mix (though containing the flames might be a problem). Viral material!
Whatever the case I can say that I absolutely love my Blendtec. You should see what it does to fruit!
I’m telling you, this could be worked into the WUWT arctic expedition! The series will be called: Will it freeze?
You could have stuff like The Wheel of Silly, a Mannequin of Al Gore in a bath robe on a massage table, (my apologies for that visual) and a copy of “Return to Almora” or whatever it was called…(that thing should be creating its own steam!)… 🙂
You take each one, and throw it in an open lead, and wait a while to see if it freezes! It’s supposed to be the new Bahamas at 80N in a year or two, no?
You do all this stuff, then the Bud light train shows up with the Cowboy’s cheerleaders, and ZZ Top plays “Sharp Dressed Man”.
What could it cost?
Decisions, decisions! Who to put into the blender first? Any ideas anyone? Just kidding, wouldn’t want the PC brigade to call me “irresponsible”, would I! (Hee, hee,hee, hee, snigger, snigger).
Winter 2009 and Scotland had one of its best winters for skiing. We had forecasts of snow yesterday, 15th Sept, in the Scottish mountains. Quite an early first fall if the forecast is correct.
“In a few years children just won’t know what snow is” … said a “scientist” from the CRU. Of course the climategate whitewashes never inquired into the scientific ethicacy of this total [snip] committed by the CRU.
[Try and employ less aggressive language. Thanks ….. bl57~mod]
Start with a “Hockey Stick”? I’m sure it would bend Oops Blend!
A good friend of mine was deployed in Afghanistan last winter and as a snow lover was getting more and more angry as my son and I emailed him photos and info about all the snow we were having at the time. All he got was dust dust and more dust(its like talc and gets everywhere).
This was after the weather forecasters were telling us no snow this year it’s getting warmer.

Where are they now?
“However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
Dr Viner is now Head of Climate Change at The British Council on a salary of
£150 000? plus benefits. Salaries like Dr Viner’s are rare and interesting.

When I lived in rural Perhshire in the 50’s,60’s & 70’s, the Old (Deer) Stalkers said that most years there would be snow on the hills before October; but probably not again for a couple of months.
Just for posterity I feel I should note that this article previously had several dozen comments attached to it. I would frequently revisit the article to read some of the hilarity. The last one I remembered laughing out loud at was someone pretending to be a voice from 10 years in the future warning the journalist not to write the article.
As I’m sure you’ve all noticed – those comments have now been consigned to the memory hole.
Wow! is that blender for real?
or did he blow half a dozen up?
I,d suggest blending the HadCru…into stew.
seeing as AGW is going to create food shortages,( snort splutter) maybe they? could be the first Soylent of the Century…:-)
to show us how its done and set a good example( for a change!)
