Colorado is a beautiful state. The mountains are so high, they’ve got snow on them all year long! Thats pretty weird for me, because I watch the mountains here change every season. The elevation in the Rockies is such that only very hardy foliage grows, even in the lower levels, as opposed to Kentucky, which is almost a rain forest. Colorado is know for skiing, attracting rich people, environmentalism, and for having loads of single folks. I know quite a few fine people in Colorado, Golden Lucy (who wants me to move out there), Mama Laura, FTS, Skunkfeathers, Genuine, Zube Girl, Houla Doula, and Abby Normal. If I left someone out, let me know. Sometimes I just don’t think about where bloggers live. So, I like Colorado. But that doesn’t stop me from finding the funny stuff about it!

Its hard to believe some of the strange laws they have in Colorado.

Blog of the day: Mile High Buzz, a blog dedicated to coffee houses in Denver.

Improv Everywhere gave the residents of Aspen an opportunity to meet a black person!

What is the deal with this strange place called Aspen? They say Aspen has two kinds of people, those with three jobs, and those with three houses. Its the home of the most expensive real estate in the US. It even gave rise to a new verb “aspenization”. Read about it here.

Ski Run, a way to ski in August, even if you’re NOT in Colorado.

You might be from Colorado if...

* You see your East Coast relatives now more than when you lived there.

* You personally wouldn't pay $10 per head to drive up Pikes Peak unless it was the only mountain on earth, but you tell all y our out-of-town houseguests to do it.

* You own a big dog named Aspen, Buck, Cheyenne or Dakota and your dog wears a bandana.

* Your SUV tire size exceeds your IQ.

* You think gun control is not dropping it.

* The entire top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

* You get depressed after one day of foggy weather.

* North means "mountains to the left," south is "mountains to the right," and east and west are where all those damned liberals keep moving in from.

* You've ever stood on solid ground and looked down on an airplane in flight.

* You can run up 10 flights of stairs without huffing and puffing.

A whole lot more “you’re from Colorado” lines can be seen here.

Plus these “you’re from Denver” lines.

FOUR WOMEN

Four women were driving across the country. Each one was from a different state: Idaho, Nebraska, Colorado and California. Shortly after the trip began, the woman from Idaho started pulling potatoes from her bag and throwing them out of the window.

"What the heck are you doing?" demanded the Nebraskan.

"We have so many of these darn things in Idaho, I am just sick of looking at them!"

A moment later, the gal from Nebraska began pulling ears of corn from her bag and tossing them from the window.

"What are you doing that for?" asked the gal from Colorado.

"We have so many of these things in Nebraska, I am just sick of looking at them!"

Inspired, the gal from Colorado opened the car door and pushed the Californian out.

TROUBLE IN A BAR

Three guys go into a bar: a guy from Dallas, a guy from San Francisco, and a guy from Boulder. They drank and got a little rowdy. Suddenly, completely without warning, the Texan grabbed a bottle of tequila, unscrewed the top, took a good swig, and threw the bottle into the air. He then jerked a Colt .45 pistol out of his pocket and shot the bottle, spraying tequila all over everything and everybody.

The patrons at the bar shouted, "Hey, bud, why'd you waste that tequila?"

The Texan said, "Heck, it's just tequila. Us Texans go across the border all the time and get all the tequila we want."

Not to be outdone, the Californian whipped out a corkscrew and uncorked a bottle of wine. He poured some into a glass, swirled it, sniffed, commented on the tart insolence of its bouquet, sipped, tossed the bottle in the air, nicked it with a round from a silly little chrome-plated pistol, and showered a couple of patrons at the bar with wine.

The patrons, upset by the casual waste and general lack of concern for their safety, expressed their displeasure and astonishment, to which the Californian replied, "Well, I'm from Napa Valley, and we have more than enough wine where I come from."

The Boulderite, a quiet observer up to this point, touched the crystal hanging from his neck, adjusted his Birkenstocks, flipped back his ponytail, put down his guitar, and borrowed a bottle opener from the bartender. He popped the top off a bottle of Fat Tire beer, hammered it back, threw the empty bottle into the air, pulled a 9mm Beretta, took careful aim, shot both the Californian and the Texan, and caught the falling bottle.

The patrons screamed in utter disbelief, "Why'd you do that?"

The Boulderite replied, "I'm from Colorado. We've already got too many Texans and way too many Californians, but glass bottles, now those can be recycled!"

OK, now to be nice, here’s a lovely video of Colorado.

Thought for today: If You Don't Ski, Don't Bother.
