After a few days of reflection and recovery, I think I’m able to do a proper Chiditarod recap. It felt like we were competing in a million different categories this year, so there’s a lot to discuss.
Our cart- Where to begin? In my humble opinion, it’s the best cart that has ever been in Chiditarod, and I’m not sure it will ever be surpassed. I don’t think we could have done an AT-AT any better than we did, and I don’t think we could have had a more awesome theme than Star Wars, so there you go. Comments on race day ranged from “That’s the best cart this year” to “That’s the GREATEST THING I’ve ever seen.” I still sort of can’t believe we pulled it off. Big ups to Ryan for the extra time he spent on it. The snowspeeder was also a nice touch. Oh, and is your mind not blown yet? It dispensed beer.

Watch it here.
Since its humble beginnings, Action-Squad has developed into a parent organization for awesome endeavors. Action-Squad is: a small group of idiots from Michigan. It’s a web site designed to amuse those idiots and their friends. A professional design company. And an urban iditarod team.
On Saturday, March 6th, Action-Squad adds a historic (I know most people say “an” historic, but that’s never made sense to me. It’s not “an history book..”) fifth chapter to their growing legend in Chicago’s urban iditarod shopping cart race/food drive/costume party/beauty pageant, or Chiditarod for short. Since we may have some new visitors to the site after the race (Dave has designed “In Squad We Trust” buttons with the URL for distribution, contact him for yours today!) we thought it would be a good idea to give a little backstory on how Action-Squad went from a plucky group of Blinkies, Pinkies, and Clydes, to time-traveling prophets, hell bent on glory and PBR.
A (sort of) brief history, with links to the original A-S recaps:

I couldn’t believe my eyes when ‘watching’ the credits for the NBC Olympic coverage…his name is BUCKY GUNTS. The most unfortunate name i’ve ever come across.

Here’s a fun story on the 71 year old man who downloaded the 10 billionth song on itunes.
The song? “Guess Things Happen That Way” by Johnny Cash, who just had a new album come out even though he’s dead.
I don’t remember Curling in the Olympics getting so much screen time (insert NBC sucks statement here, but leave my man Costas out of it, he’s gotta eat you know) but i’m sure glad this tournament keeps going. Curling is so strangely satisfying to watch, reminds me of being a kid growing up on the opposite side of the river from Windsor. My sister and I would normally watch some Polka Dot Door (feel free to click that link if you sprinkled LSD on your Wheaties this morning, Polkaroo) which would then be replaced with Curling from the CBC. I’d like to be clear: I don’t much care for the USA Men’s team though, I’m just here for the ladies. Particularly my curling crush Nicole Joraanstad . You can even twitterfollow her @Niccurl. The men just seem lazy and are particularly bad at their job.
Both the Women’s & Men’s teams are 2-5 which is not so good, currently both in last place but there’s a few games left including two games today for the ladies, China & Switzerland. So go team USA, here’s hoping everyone else loses big time… Most markets are showing curling coverage on a combo of MSNBC and CNBC.
Next, lets get more cute curlers naked, like Madeline Dupont of Denmark (via).
