Now this one I'd pay to see:

Found on the internet by Marcia Tapp:

TEXAS VERSION OF "SURVIVOR": Contestants must travel from Amarillo through Ft. Worth, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and back to Amarillo, through San Marcos and Lubbock... driving a Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads:

"I'm for Gore, I'm Gay and I'm Here to Take Your Guns."

The first to complete the round trip is the winner.

Reopening of the Ice Hotel
December 15 - 17, 2000
Jukkas Ishotell
Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

Do you operate at maximum capacity trudging through snow drifts, running barefoot on freshly fallen snow, or swimming in a frozen lake? If so, then you won't want to miss the grand opening of the Ice Hotel, in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden...fair-weather travelers need not apply.

Ice, ice, baby, too cold, too cold. That's right, cold-blooded adventure-seekers, we dare you to check in and spend the night in a hotel made from 3,000 tons of ice and 30,000 cubic meters of pure snow. In this hotel, the temperature is always between -9 and -4 degrees centigrade (16 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit). To get there, you must travel ten miles on a sled powered by twelve Alaskan huskies. Or take a cab. The fantastic frozen structure is built on six thousand square feet of space on the bank of the Torne River, 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
