Well, I missed the rules and/or instructions...but what else is new?
Sorry...

Who ever bothers to read the rules....?

Chickenline is a rafting term -- it's the line that runs around the raft that you can grab onto if you're afraid of falling out.

Hardy souls like SteelersFan just fall out.
I like my answer better.

Makes fun of east-coasters, which you guys out there love to do.

I mentioned to Mrs S the other day how much I like eastern Colorado. I said it was partially because I read Centennial too many times in my formative years.

The use of these terms in regard to the Colorado Wine Industry is laughable. Give it a few years it might work.

Terrior refers to a specific vineyard. It is a description of the wine in terms of the influence of the land on the wine.

An Appellation is a collection of vineyards. It is an officially recognized area that produces wine of similar type and structure.

A wine region is usually a group of appelations.

An example is the Napa Valley - a region composed of 14 Appellations.

See: http://lombardiwine.com/Appellations/Na ... ations.htm

Within each appellation there are multiple vineyards - each has a "terrior".

On a 10 speed bike, the gears you have to use when your muscles are weka - the low ones, I think.
Yep, they're the lowest gears. Come to Coloradgo again, now that we're the Mountain Biking Capital of the World, except for Moab, but they don't count, because they cheated using their proximity to Colorado to steal some of our world-class mountain bikers, and of course they have all that slickrock, which is far from slick under mountain bike tires, that's just under horse hooves like the Mormons brought and why am I babbling . . . Anyway, come to Colorado again, and we'll put you on a 15-speed, and we can go a few miles and you can observe that even nonweakmuscled folkses use granny gears on hogbacks.

We do love to do that. It makes us feel so out west.

You got peak-bagger right and probably rattler cake too.

We were down in West Texas (it's a whole nother country) over the weekend on a Spring Turkey Hunt, and the ranch owner stepped within about a foot of a two foot rattler -- plenty within striking range.

SteelersFan immediately sighted in and asked RanchOwnerDude, who wasn't armed, if he should shoot. ROD turned him down -- rattlers eat mouses and other destructive small varmints, who do not eat mosquitoes.

But here's the lapse in that small tableau -- SteelersFan did NOT TAKE A PHOTO OF THE SNAKE. I have been trying for 20 years to get a good photo of a rattler in the wild, and SteelersFan's 10 feet away from one, all beautifully coiled, but will he take the photo???????????? Nooooooooooooooo... Phooey.
