Double McTwist 1260

HOLY COW!! There is a new idol in the house this morning and his name is Shaun White!! Did you see the Flying Tomato last night?? Hands down the most fun and most entertaining event of the entire Olympics, and thank you, Shaun, for making it a spectacular event to watch! All my darling husband could say was "wow, look at that amplitude." To which this artic cougar replied, "Dude, Shaun busted Angelo-Style. His Double McTwist 1260 was hella crispy and caused an ancillary stoke! Bonus Life!"

So, tonight it's the Bettys' turn and I thought that I could help prepare you for the event by clueing you in on some of the lingo used by the posse so you don't sound as gnar as my hubby (I am posting this early in the day so you have some time to study up!). Admittedly, I have never boarded in my life, and if I did, I would be the accessory man blasting a dookie, rolling down the windows and ultimately taking the ass pass to a yard sale...it would be craptastic! So while a bingo may not be in my future, I definitely know my way around google and thanks to abc-of-snowboarding.com, I can at least attempt to talk the talk!

These are so much fun!
