No snow.

Riding a snowmobile.

I think they make motorcycles for those applications.

Snowmobiles in the North, ATVs in the South; both take an annual toll on the more reckless members of our rural population

Good local beer from a microbrewery in Green Bay is called
"Railyard". Although I would bet a 2:30 AM nosnowmobile accident had to with Pabst.

If this is true it would be a tragic way to go.

If I get that stupid I would hope it was Jack Daniels that was the culprit.

Having never seen a snowmobile (We don't get many of those in Tennessee), I must ask how you ride these things without snow. Do they have wheels?

"Bartender, give me a high powered snowmobile...hold the snow" ALERT

Bartender: What'll have?

Would be Corpse: Give me something that will knock my socks off.

Bartender: How about an Alabama Slammer?

Would be Dope: Make it a double.

Bartender: Straight up?

Would be idiot: You bet!

Bartender: Here ya go, break a leg.

Would be Darwin Award winner: No problem, I'm going snowmobiling later tonight.

Bartender: But there's no snow...

Would be deadman: I know, but I don't need no stinkin snow. I'm a baby-boomer thats voting for Dean. He'll give me free health care if I get hurt; create a new job just for me, if I can't continue in my profession; If I get in trouble , Dean says I can ABORT at any time; but if I do get hurt and can't work, its not my fault - I'll sue the manufacturer (ever hear of Phillip Morris).
