The story of my Memory Theater

Format:  My corporeal images followed by (what they represent)

 Every winter weekend morning I leave my ski condo and walk outside to the garage there I see my friend Gretchen dressed as the Swiss Miss girl serving. (1948 St. Moritz, Switzerland Gretchen Frazer).  I walk up the driveway over to the access trail for the ski lift and strap into my skis next to a Mead Panther sitting in a viking war ship (1952 Oslo Norway Andrea Meade-Lawrence).  I ski down to the bottom of the first lift and in line is a penny and a squaw fish singing "The itsy Betsy spider" (1960 Squaw Valley, USA Penny Pitou, Betsy Snite).  I ride the first chair and as I get of the lift I pass a man in a wheelchair wearing a cowboy hat and jeans while playing an Austrian Horn (1964 Innsbruck, Austria Jimmy Heuga, Billy Kidd, Jean Saubert).  Then I ski to the bottom of the next lift and hop on the chair with my mom and my friends mom who are eating sushi (1972 Sapporro, Japan Susan Corrock, Barbara Cochran).  Half way up the lift I look off to the left and see a bottle of Jones Soda and Willie Nelson skiing down the run yoddleing (1976 Innsbruck Austria, Greg Jones, Cindy Nelson).  I get off the lift and see three ski patrolmen.  One is a giant alligator, one is Willie Nelson, and one is Dr. Phil. (1980 Lake Placid, Cindy Nelson, Phil Mahre).  I ski down the run to the next lift and en rout I see a massive crash involving, Slobodon Milosovic, Neil Armstrong, a barrel maker, a stock broker, and twin female horses. (1984 Sarajevo Yugoslavia, Debbie Armstrong, Christian Cooper, Bill Johnson, Phil Mahre and Steve Mahre).  I ride the next lift to the top of the mountain where I see my friend Albert taking the picture of Hillary Clinton and Princess Diana (1992 Albertville France Hillary Linde, Diann Roffe)  I ski down to the top of my favorite run at the mountain and I see a viking ship with a hammer painted on the side being rowed by Moe from the 3 stooges, Princess Diana, and a piece of asphalt (1994 Lillehammer Norway Tommy Moe, Diann Roffe, Picabo Street).  I take a few turns and stop on top of my favorite cliff I like to jump.  I hit the cliff and land on a piece of asphalt and squish a sushi roll (1998 Nagano, Japan Picabo Street).  I ski down towards the base of the mountain and pass below the Terrain Park.  I look up at a jump and see the Great Salt Lake and a bottle of Miller Lite hitting a jump (2002 Salt Lake City Bode Miller).  Finally I get back to the base and take my skis off and hand them to Julia Roberts.  I have X-Ray vision and can see her ligaments and that she ate spagetti for lunch (2006 Torino, Italy Julia Mancuso, Ted Ligity).
