To Lurk with Kirk
by Minion Missive
We’re going to get right to Kristal and her “Effect” on new members soon, but an Olympics debate spurred some controversy here this week, so we need to take a moment. [This outlet can turn into “Dear Diary” for writers sometimes. Sorry about that. Of course that’s why we provide the handy “jump to the visuals” icons on the pages.]
Contrary to what many people out there in “the world” seem to think, the stupidest person in the history of humans was NOT in fact the person that invented the “skeleton” as an athletic event. As Gibby pointed out quite eloquently [or at least loudly], while sledding down an ice chute with your feet sticking out — as in the luge — seems really, really crazy, doing so while leading with your FACE is simply wacked. This makes no sense. Indeed this cannot make sense. To any sane person. Ever. [Seriously. It sounds like something you’d talk your little brother into trying and then deny it to your mom later when he crashes and burns.] What the hell?
