City Severs Ties With Sleeping Giant
Written by Candy Eyeful Tuesday, 11 November 2008
The Ski Town City Council has severed ties with longtime local icon Sleeping Giant and has signed a five year local iconic image contract with South Routt landmark Finger Rock. Finger Rock, no relation to Kid Rock, Chris Rock or The Rock, formerly was located right on State Highway 131 two miles south of Yampa and will begin these new duties just as soon as this issue of the Pirate and Yesterday hits the streets.
A lone finger now graces the horizon where the Sleeping Giant made hes bed for so many generations.
As soon as he is ensconced in his new job, there will be a slight name change to The Finger Rock (see accompanying photograph). "This is a real step up for me," said Mr. Rock, "both in attitude and location. My apologies to Finger Rock Fish Hatchery," which will be renamed Middle of B.F. Nowhere Fish Hatchery.
Scari Helmetheadski, Ski Town City Council President Pro-temski, had this to say about the change. "Sleeping Giant did a good job in his time. But he represented...

Steamboat Ski Area has a new face, and it isn't peaking out from under a feathered cowboy hat. Olympic gold-medalist Jonny Moseley is Steamboat's new mountain representative. But what does the current Steamboat Ski Area Ambassador, Billy Kidd, think of the "new kid on the mountain?"
Bily Kidd was seen practicing his new big-air move, the Crusty Muffin.
The Pirate & Yesterday (PY) recently caught up with Billy Kidd (BK) to find out.
PY:
What do you think Jonny can bring to the
mountain?
BK:
Well, I think he will appeal to the Slacker-Games crowd--you know,
the Red-Bull generation. But someone still needs to reach out to
the "white zin" folks. It's like this: He's MTV, I'm C-Span. I'm a
little bit country, he's a little bit rock-n-roll.
PY: So
you're more Marie Osmond and he is more Donny
Osmond?

Steamboat Acquires Enough Balls, Boots Triple Crown
Written by Harry Skrote Friday, 04 April 2008
Baseballs, basketballs, softballs, golf balls and footballs have finally been accumulated in large enough numbers in Steamboat Springs to allow city officials to cancel its contract with Triple Crown Sports.
Up until March 2008, Steamboat had been restricted by Article 4-20 of the Year-Round Resort Constitution, which specifically states that any town hoping to be promoted as a four-season tourist destination had to have at its disposal four balls for each person in that town.
Due to an influx of sporting families moving to Steamboat Springs, the city finally acquired enough balls to cut its ties with Triple Crown Sports.
"When it came to getting rid of Triple Crown, it was always a matter of Steamboat not having enough balls," stated Tee Bagger, city liaison to Triple Crown. "We couldn't meet our quota without Triple Crown, so we kept inviting them back--summer after summer. They bring a lot of balls with them."
It's believed that the two newest...
