Baked beans, Darth Vader, and the unexpected dangers of carrying a
lightsaber but not a fire extinguisher.

Ah! So you *are* concerned that the Earth's nudist ski resorts can easily
be seen by the natives on Vega IX, *do* worry about just how offended said
Vegans might be by the sight, and *have* concluded that they may shoot an
intragalactic hyperpionic praeseodymium-lutetium 4w,4w,7d-orbital enhanced
subchromodynamic megasyllabic transcoronal paramesonic leptonoid nova bomb
our way in order to "tidy up" the view from the rear side of their beloved
home planet!
No wonder you wouldn't say it.
I share your concern that the Earth may be destroyed within the week.
We gotta start hoarding those Ho-Ho's *NOW*.

Is that it?
Are we getting any closer?
Can we have a hint?

That would be indiscreet.

Mr Spirit's #4 is mostly off the mark, but he *did* get one
thing right.

It's the subchromodynamics then. Knew it..

No. But it has to do with skiing.

Depending upon the Snordship's delicacy, discretion, diction, and
dissication, we might or might not deduce dat He has implied that
water skiing could be dropped as a tentative hypothesis in this matter.

Seems plausible given the season.

I prefer uphill skiing, myself. It's more conducive to falling over in
dramatic ways.

For dramatic falls, try rodder skiing. (Hook a water-skiing line to the
back of the car, put on roller blades, & floor it.) Even with mountain
blades, Michigan roads give a pretty rough ride. But *nothing* on water
or snow is like seeing a semi driver's reaction when you crouch down,
cut under his trailer, then pop up on the other side.

But suppose we tried uphill water skiing?

I was the first person to ski up Niagara Falls in a barrel. But
delicacy precludes my saying more.

Perhaps our fair Snord was skiing up Niagara Falls in a barrel for reasons
other than keeping his clothes dry.... Delicacy might prevent Him from
naming names, of course, if He just by chance had some *company* in the
barrel. And perhaps the very unusual route the barrel took might, just
*might*, have been due in part to His being distract a wee bit by such
hypothetical company in the barrel that He was skiing in...

Ho-Ho is short for Holy-Holy. (Much easier to say the former with your
mouth full of Ho-Ho's.) It is the highest and most sacred Holy symbol of
the Snord.
After praying for inspiration, i was given the knowledge that it was not
Dan Quayle in the barrel with the Snord. Perhaps He might deign to give
us some further hints....?
