Signs from Antarctica, Part I
Various written communications from the bottom of the earth. Some are for safety. Others are for amusement. All are informative.

You’ve all seen “The Thing,” right? I think this is where we keep the flamethrowers and body bags - we have a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding anthropomorphic life forms from other planets.

This one was in the office.

Evidently, people actually snowboard down here, despite my never having seen a single snowboarder in four separate trips down here. Do people ever actually ride snowboards or is it just an excuse to wear chunky orange goggles everywhere and have a blue goatee? DUDE! Let’s spend $500 on a puffy jacket and drink some RED BULL!!! Living on the EDGE is EXTREME to the MAX!! Especially if there’s CREVASSES! They’re DEEP and DEADLY and they’ll swallow you WHOLE and you can’t see them ‘cuz they’re usually covered with SNOW! So, can I get your phone number?

Nick, just admit that you are crabby about forgetting to pack your snowboard! Hope your last couple of weeks on the ice are cool!
