AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- DOING IT WRONG

Gapers pride themselves in doing things the wrong way.

Sun Valley- ID

Carrying their skis wrong.

photo- J   Queens (i bet)

Spending tax money in a ridicules manner.

Midtown- NYC

Getting compass tattoos in places they can't see.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- GAPE THE HALFPIPE

This ones from the past.

I wish Sun Valley still had it's halfpipe on Warm Springs so this could happen some more.

Breckenridge- CO

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- GAPERS REMOVE SKIS

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- EN ROUTE

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- GETTING AFTER IT

this summer i've been learning to surf
im a total Gaper
but a Gaper that gets after it is still better than someone sitting at home
In Grand Targhee, Wy and Pomerelle, ID I found two of my favorite gettin' after it gapers.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- SURROUNDED

Gapers are everywhere

there's really nothing you can do

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- I JUST WANTED SOME POWDER

I want to pretend I did this just because we didn't get much snow in the east last year and I just wanted some powder

but the truth is

I'll go anywhere for some freshies. If you've ridden with me you know I like the trees- maybe a little too much. This might be completely gaping- but it's not like I'm gonna stop. I love powder. Don't follow me and bitch- I always get us out......

Music is Riff Raff's Jose Canseco from his new album Birth of an Icon. I feel the same way about this album and these trees- kinda embarrassing, but totally feeling it.

oh yeah- this is the at Killington- when you hike to the top

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- MAJOR MAYORS

So, there's this thing that people do on their cellular phones called Four Square, and as far as I can tell it doesn't involve balls or standing in squares. What it does involve is telling your cellular phone where you are all the time - like it's your mom and it cares.
After you go somewhere again and again and again you become the mayor, prison doesn't count, and you rule that very little place in the world in your mind.
Now, Foursquare does not stand up in court- you can't just have stuff when you go places because you are the mayor.
In fact it doesn't really mean anything and I am embarrassed I spent so much time researching it, but I did find the highest decorated mayors in all the land..... and of course- they are GAPERS.........

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- THE FINAL FRONTIER

Trees: the final frontier.

This is the voyage of the Gaper.

 It’s mission to gape new terrain, to seek out other Gapers, and to boldly go where no Gaper has gone before.

TO GAPE WHERE NO GAPER HAS GAPED BEFORE from elisabeth toft on Vimeo.

thanks to Mary Toft

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- YOU'RE REALLY DOING THAT?

Gapers continue to shock me-
I can't believe the new ways they find to Gape

on my way to work i spotted this gaper in the train stop- if you don't live in the city, let me clear this one up for you- it is not common practice to bring your own chair, wear a towel, and put a washcloth on your face during your commute

east village style- D calls it the Maury van

Sun Valley gaper takes the sign line

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- NO! GAPER, NO!

Gapers act like animals. They need someone to corral them all the time, or its chaos.

wow- this Gaper is out of control (or a horse) Spanish Harlem- Photo Ramz

Gapers! You are in the middle of a parade!  Rexburg-ID Photo Mary Toft

No! Gaper, NO! Turn Around!  Targhee- WY  photo- Mary Toft

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- NOT ENOUGH COVERAGE

Gapers have a missing part in their brain that does not allow them to cover up certain important things- like the goggle gap.

 mary's & my doppelgapers-  Breckenridge CO

 Here are some more Gaping coverage problems:

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- PARTIES

it's summer, and with summer comes the responsibility of attending many parties......
that responsibility is a great one.....
you do not want to become the Gaper of the party......
Here are some definite don'ts

This is a robot Gaper in Coney Island displaying the Gaper trick where liquid comes out of both ends. This trick is unacceptable.

photo- Mary Toft

This is a selfish Gaper in Sun Valley, share your party favors!

 

 This unknown Gaper just showed up to a party and passed out...... Don't worry- Carl is selling her to the highest bidder. 

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- TOO MUCH

So, Gapers get too wasted. They end up doing embarrassing things, like eating someones face off.
Here are some other Gapers you should watch out for:

Junky Yoga Enthusiast- otherwise known as the Junky lean- NYC

Gaper Junky with his almost falling stance and begging cup. He might puke on you.

Gapers leave gaping doors- Ketchum ID

Drunk Gaper is probably sleeping under this car. Drunk Gaper will ruin your things.

Steezy McSteezerson- Pomerelle- ID  photo Mama Toft

Steezy Gaper might blind you with it's bright colors.

window sleeper- NYC

Narcoleptic Gaper- who knows why this is brought on, this kind of Gaper is the worst. You never know when they will appear, sleeping on things.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- IT'S KIND OF LIKE.......

so there is now a snowboard that lights up- http://whitelines.mpora.com/videos/wltv/future-snowboard-design-introducing-led-snowboard.html
like, there are glow sticks on the bottom of the boards

its kind of like going to a casino and instead of gambling and getting free drinks- you go to the pseudo night club, pay for drinks, and dress like your mom

Mohegan Sun Gapers

it's kind of like getting a lie on a  vanity plate for a car that really doesn't need attention drawn to it

subaru gaper- photo C Boogie

its kind of like this little white girl

Brooklyn gaper

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPI NG- GAPER TRANSIT

There are certain ways that Gapers get around. Here are some examples:

they take a bunch of Ecstasy and then refuse to sit in chairs

Here the Gaper refuses to use his feet to ride down the hill and instead uses his ass

photo sequence- Mary Toft- Targhee

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- VAIL

So Vail is über fancy and totally sweet.
Still- I can't help but notice the gaping undertones.............                    
                                            

apparently there were so many people falling down and then peeing themselves that someone had to make this sign

the bowls were closed because elks were having babies

the wind makes you look like a big giant fat person (squatting bear and blanket as cape)

a man hands you Kleenex when you walk in the lodge
