Alphawest Managed Snow Thongs

These might look like a pair of ordinary thongs, but looks can be deceiving! This is a prototype model of Alphawest's latest managed service offering - Managed Snow Thongs. My team mates thought I would be the ultimate guinea pig, going to Canada and all, and decided to give me a pair as a parting gift!

The inventor told me these spikes are designed for two functions: 1) to dig into the snow, keeping you on your feet; and 2) for protection against bears. Genius!

Apparently if I have any trouble with them, I just call the Enterprise Management Centre (EMC)!

I had to get home from work on my last day with these things! Lucky I didn't get picked up by the police (I did have a few crisp ales that day!) - pretty sure the Alphawest Managed Snow Thongs would be classed as a deadly weapon.

(thanks Rob!)

What the..?

OK! In the same week as I re-joined Facebook, I have started a friggin' blog! I don't know what's next, but if you catch me saying "lol" or writing "teh" (on purpose) or "for the win", you may execute me.

Let's see how this thing pans out..
