Here is my full review of Hot Tub Time Machine. I password protect the post (password: SPOILER) to force you to make a very conscious decision to read it, in case you want to see the movie.
In a nutshell here is my opinion of the movie: I missed a NCAA March Madness game, and I miss my money; wait for this movie to hit the second run theaters or for it to appear on late night TV.

The Wisconsin Snow Bunny and myself went to a nearby movie theater and watched Hot Tub Time Machine and this is my review of the movie. If you have not seen it and want to see it not knowing details of the movie TURN AWAY NOW
I repeat:
TURN AWAY NOW
This is now your third chance of avoiding having the movie revealed to you, you only have yourself to blame.
One last thing to be aware of, is this review addresses a number of adult themes.

Going to miss me when I’m gone…

I Know You Rider!
We stopped at Ski Brule on Sunday (March 14, 2010) to deliver a CD of photos I had previously taken. We did not just drop off the CD and leave, but we went to the Bear Lodge and had a few drinks. On the porch, Good Time Specials was setup and playing music. The weather was fantastic and it all made for a very pleasant experience.

Who does not like a good bowl of chlli? I don’t know if I should put a question mark after that or an exclamation, what is it? I do not like to do both but either would fit there.
I make a great pot of chili. While I am supposedly disqualified as a chili maker because the Wisconsin Chili Cook may sound as strange to some as The Wisconsin Skier, I have it down!

After a hard day of skiing you may not want to cut, chop, slice, dish, mash, grind, brown, fry, grill, and so on and so forth.
Easy to understand, skiing can be strenuous. However, defaulting to the local supper club can be costly and of course as good as supper clubs can be, nothing beats a good home cooked dinner.
What is a skier to do?

After ski before fire.
One of the treats of skiing is being around fireplaces. We all enjoy them but very few of us have them.
Fortunately, that is one amenity The Wisconsin Skier International Headquarters has, both locations. Not only do I have fireplaces I have wood fireplaces. As I have noted before, wood fireplaces add a little extra ambiance gas and electric fireplaces can not add.

You had a hard day of skiing, you are done with your dinner, and now what?
If you are staying at a ski lodge or are lucky enough to be so setup you usually pay a visit to the hot tub.

In addition to being an avid skier I am a football fan.
When I was young, I played the game with my brother and the kid next door. I recall some fairly serious games on the playground in grade school too. I took a few snaps and I was surprised how different it is when there is a determined rush. One of my playmates told me he thought I handled the pressure wel, I dunno.
In any event, that is the summary of my football career.

I am a 42 year old guy obviously living in Wisconsin. I was born, grew up, and spent near about all of my life save for six years in Wisconsin.
You know, I like beer!

I spend a hard night in the kitchen!
I like to cook and I don’t mean popping a packaged lasagna into the oven, unless of course it is a lasagna I made from scratch.
