Warehouzinit

Ware•hou•zinit [v. wair-hous-in-it; v. wair-houzn-it] slang

1. To ride bicycles indoors on trainers. "It's too cold outside so I'm going to be warehouzinit."

2. A form of ritualized self-inflicted punishment. "I ate too much yesterday so I'll be warehouzinit."

3. A social event common to the far-north during winter months. "We're going to be warehouzinit at 6:00am tomorrow. It's going to be a lot of fun...and if you're not there we're calling the cops."

Go Weird or Go Home!

Yes, it's the month for swimming but don't get stuck in a one-track workout rut and forget why we live here. Because it's weird. If you want ordinary then there are 48 other states to choose from (I'm giving Hawaii some props here). There a plenty of states just filled with interstates, strip-malls, and boredom. Take your pick.



But I'll get to my point. This has been possibly the best week of winter biking we've see for a loooong time. The trails are packed; the air is still; and there is an inch of frost over everything. Moose graze in schoolyards while bikes ride silently by. Giant islands of ice flow through the inlet. You can't buy these experiences anywhere else. If you don't get outside soon then you will miss the entire point of living here.

Surprise!

Were you there at Bartlett pool for the special surprise Beaker promised?

This bunny showed up expecting marshmallow Peeps or cupcakes. Mmm...yes the bunny was in eager anticipation of a post-workout treat. Instead the surprise took a different form.

Andy, that bright orange swimsuit with the words on it was a sight indeed. Beaker tried to get a photo but without success. (Consider yourselves lucky).

If you weren't there to see it then ask a friend who was.

(sung to the tune of "I kissed a girl")

Incog he is so magical,
Soft tail, fast feet, and runable
He can't resist the mile log
He's too good to deny it
He's a big deal, dominates it

Jason send us this from Arizona. Great choice of riding trail. He adds that he saw a giant jackrabbit but that it didn't stick around for the picture.

The Final Countdown

This is it. In a little more than 24 hours the competition will be over and one team will walk away with it all; one team with bunny ears that is.

It's time for our end of the competition rock power anthem. The band is different but you'll recognize the tune.

NO, NO, NO!

What on earth is going on here, I mean really, someone fill me in. Three pages on shaving? For men? Until you can catch me, you fuzzy little man peach you, I wouldn't worry about slicking down those legs of yours. Look at my beautiful coat, see how it shines? Notice my rippling leg muscles as I bound away from you, running like my tail is on fire (does anyone else smell smoke?) as I dash past the Sharks?

On the topic of "it looks sexy", I took an informal poll last night, and 1 out of 1 woman asked said "Oh Incog, don't you ever shave" - which is pretty much all the answer I need on the subject. So Beaker, Carla, and all you other crazy ladies out there, remember this is Alaska. Where men are men, and hey. Get away from me with those clippers. It's not funny any more. I'm not kidding.

DINO HELP ME!!!!
