Uphill yak skiing

"If you forget yourself in the excitement and shake the bucket too soon, you'll be flattened by two hairy tons of behemoth," the magazine says.

Mr Dorje's advice is: "Never shake the bucket of nuts before you're tied to the yak rope."

um, dodgy?

"The sport may be a barmy injunction to even barmier tourists," Time says.

i guess time will tell

Mr Dorje's advice on this point strikes me ss excellent, and would surely hold true for any number of other situations.

Now, that looks like a sport I could get into.

...a bucket of pony nuts...
I've never said those words in that order before. It's not... natural.

I was really hoping to see actual uphill yak skiing.

Not that I did not enjoy the article. I now have in my mind a very amusing image of an extremely nervous man on skiis, holding a bucket of nuts, peering up into the crisp morning air and trying not to cry.

If we had sigs like forums do...I think Mr Dorje's advice would have to be mine...that's truly sig worthy for it's sheer dada presence.

That said...kids today. Why in my day, we just tied ourselves to a trash can lid and held on to the dog...
