Faction Skis Meets the Man
Submitted by BrigidMander on Tue, 2010-02-09 13:46
Last year, Ross made the New York Times, among other publications, for manning the booth at SIA when Gene Simmons happened by… (http://www.biglines.com/articles/will-gene-simmons-kiss-and-make-faction-skis). So this year, Ross went for subtle on the way to SIA, and just made the papers (ah, paper) in Casper, Wyoming. It all began when he locked his keys in his car in Billings, MT…
Alex: We were bored waiting for Ross, so we went shopping at the truckstop. (They bought, among other things, matching satin New York jackets, ski masks, American eagle window stickers, some kind of toy they duct taped into a hood ornament, and other useful things. Why ski masks?) So we would look super-awesome while skiing… Alex looks at me quizzically.Duh. Maybe you had to be there. Before they bought more things they didn’t know could send them to jail in Wyoming, a truck driver with “an even bigger ‘stache than Ross Macgyvered the car open… he showed us how to pry the door open with a fork and jab a coat hanger in there.” But even that didn’t look suspicious. Until they made a stop in Casper for some Taco Bell and other essentials.
Here Ross interjects: “Only the bad stuff is true!” Which isn’t true. Ross is just an innocent with a chemical attraction to trouble. Eric: “So we there we were waiting for Ross at Taco Bell while he went to buy some media cards, and it was freezing! We got out our sleeping bags and put on our ski masks and made faces at each other…” And then a guy in a huge Wyoming cowboy truck drove by and gave them a long look. “And we saw him make a call and sit there watching us.” Alex: So then I see this person walk to the back of the truck, and then another one, and then I saw a gun. And then this flashlight slammed in the car window and someone started yelling, “Move the sleeping bags! How many guns do you have?? Move the sleeping bags!” Eric: We moved the sleeping bags and they yelled a lot more about guns, but we finally convinced them we had no guns under our sleeping bags and then they told us we HAD to know how suspicious this looked. But I don’t know who robs a Taco Bell in sleeping bags and ski masks. Alex: I don’t know who robs Taco Bell period. Alex: Then we saw there were actually like 5 squad cars there, all stealthy with no lights on, blocking all the exits. If were any robbers in the parking lot, they would have been really surprised… Alex: Then we see that truck driver get out and saunter over the cops with this save the day attitude, and they were patting each other on the back! We could imagine they were telling him he did the right thing and not to take kids with sleeping bags and ski masks lightly! (Imagine that 911 call! “There are these kids, in cars, with Canadian plates, listening to music, I think they are going to rob Taco Bell- the guns are under the sleeping bags!”) Ross: Yeah, like we just drive 15 hours to rob the Casper Taco Bell! Eric: Eventually they gave us back our IDs and told us we hadn’t technically broken any laws, so we could go with a warning. At this point we were laughing our asses off… Ross: When I got back they were like ROSS we gotta leave! The cops are watching us! They thought they’d get harassed for loitering any second. Eric: Yeah and here comes Ross with the media cards and $150 worth of liquor, babbling about stocking up because Aspen is expensive…and we were like let’s get out of here you can’t leave us alone this state is crazy!
And so they hightailed it outta there. Ross, tape a spare key to the outside of your car to keep your athletes out of trouble. And we can’t wait for the next adventurewith Ross and Faction skis….
