Best type of sled to buy? (Boulderz)

Hi, I have never been sledding before and am super excited to finally get to do it. Can anyone advise on the best and worst sleds to buy design wise. I would like to avoid losing any fingers and am not particularly interested in catapulting my face into a tree due to technically deficient designs. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Re: Colorado Culture (thick)

First of all, that was my first post regarding this discussion. Perhaps you are the "thick" one for assuming that I am the same person as the one you were arguing about Uggs with. I am NOT the same person and did not post ANYTHING about Uggs, so how about if you are going to criticize what I had to say, only bring up the things that I actually said.

"You are assuming a statement that doesn't exist. Nobody said something had to "originate" anywhere for it to made a "trend" by another location."

OK, well in your original post you said "Colorado has many styles of it's own - started here and copied the world over." I do think that most reasonable people would assume that if you are saying that something "started here", that you are saying it "originated here", considering that "started" and "originated" are synonyms. If you meant that microbrews became popular here, maybe you should have said that instead of saying they "started" here. All my post intended to do was clear up the misconception that microbrews started here in Colorado, because they didn't.

"Wine didn't originate in California, yet a large part of California's identity revolves around wine. Where something originates has NOTHING (repeat) NOTHING to do with where the origination of where it became "fashionable". Come on, even you can see that. "

I don't see anything wrong with this statement... however, if you were to claim that wine "started" in CA (using your original language) I would still say you are an idiot because that would make it a false statement.

Anyway, the rest of your post makes the same argument about your definition or "originate", which really is only necessarily to clarify your poor choice of words in your original statements. Other than that, you bring up a bunch of statements that I didn't make about the east coast and California and Uggs, and things being popular on the east or west coasts, or how things that are popular here are of little value... all are things I never made any statements about. The point of my post was actually to the contrary, as I was bothered that culture here was being reduced to things like Uggs and beer when there are much more valuable elements to Colorado culture such as the desire to be socially responsible, sustainable living, and, as you DID point out in your original post, healthy living.

Maybe next time you shouldn't be so "thick" in assuming that ALL of the posts you don't agree with on this topic are by me. That's just not very good logic now, is it?

Re: Colorado Culture (In reference to the post below this) (thick)

Microbrews DID NOT originate in Colorado. The first microbrewery was Grant's in Yakima, Washington. This makes sense, considering that 75% of American hops come from the Yakima Valley region. Perhaps it says more for Colorado culture that people here just assume that Colorado was cool enough to come up with things like microbrews, while still being too lazy to actually do the research to find out if it's true. And, perhaps you're wondering why you have heard of Yakima before? Probably because the majority of cars here drive around with Yakima ski racks... I bet you think those were invented here too?

You are assuming a statement that doesn't exist. Nobody said something had to "originate" anywhere for it to made a "trend" by another location. Wine didn't originate in California, yet a large part of California's identity revolves around wine. Where something originates has NOTHING (repeat) NOTHING to do with where the origination of where it became "fashionable". Come on, even you can see that.

On a side note... Crocs? Seriously? You are proud that those were created here? And I am also curious as to how you justify claiming SUVs for Colorado. Do you see any auto plants around here? Didn't they have to come from somewhere else?

Again, you miss the point. Nobody said SUVs were "made" here. But they were "made popular" here. And to what granularity does the definition of "where" something became popular require? If something was "made" in San Francisco, yet "made popular" in Orange County, isn't that the same thing? Or is it all just "California" to you?????

My personal feelings about Crocs are not part of this discussion. You are lauding the fact that things like Uggs were made fashionable on the East and West coasts, yet I'd bet any price you name most every one there would state the same thing - "you're proud of the fact that they were created here"?????? Come on, if you're going to debate, atleast use some logic. You're assumption that everything "made popular" in Colorado is of little value, yet everything "made popular" on the E. and W. coasts is worshipped is narrow-minded at best.

Don't get me wrong... I love Colorado and the culture here. I just don't think it should be reduced to things like Crocs and SUVs

And yet you reduce California to such things as Uggs. Geeeez you're thick.

Is there a decoder ring I wasn't issued when I moved to Boulder? I can't figure out how this place has so many incredibly hot, lonely people. This certainly isn't a new issue - we've all seen this post here before, no need to beat that horse. I just want to say: I'm tired of waiting for a trip out of town just to get laid.

happy saturday.

Re: Colorado Culture (In reference to the post below this)

I'm not actually weighing in on the whole "Colorado Culture" debate, but I would like to point out an error in the most recent "Colorado Culture" post.

Microbrews DID NOT originate in Colorado. The first microbrewery was Grant's in Yakima, Washington. This makes sense, considering that 75% of American hops come from the Yakima Valley region. Perhaps it says more for Colorado culture that people here just assume that Colorado was cool enough to come up with things like microbrews, while still being too lazy to actually do the research to find out if it's true. And, perhaps you're wondering why you have heard of Yakima before? Probably because the majority of cars here drive around with Yakima ski racks... I bet you think those were invented here too?

Don't get me wrong... I love Colorado and the culture here. I just don't think it should be reduced to things like Crocs and SUVs.

Colorado Culture (Boulder)

It would make sense if CO had it's own unique style but it doesn't. People in CO simply follow fashion trends that have since faded elsewhere in the country.

Not quite. Colorado has many styles of it's own - started here and copied the world over. Crocs, for instance - originating right here in Boulder Valley. And also SUVs. Colorado had SUVs (4x4s) when the rest of America was discovering the station wagon. Microbrews are another thing that comes to mind.

And, in case you didn't notice, Colorado is the FITTEST state in the country. Just how appealing is all that fancy designer clothing when some big lard-ass "BBW" wears it to the mall in SoCal. Seriously.

Its and It's

The apostrophe actually replaces the "i."

And, to the other poster, it's "ridiculous," not "rediculous."

Please stop the ignorance.

.......ummmmmm.... it's, or it is spelled - ridiculous......... not rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: it's vs its (Boulder)

Your post only proves how easy it is to make a mistake while typing a rediculous and ignorant rant.

"It's is the same thing as it is. The apostrophe (') replaces the s in is. You could say, "It is cold today," or "It's cold today."

Make sure you know what your talking about when you preaching from your pedestal. How foolish you must feel.

"English is one of the more difficult languages to learn because of this sort of thing."

Are you kidding me? What a douche.

it's vs its

Why is this so difficult for damn near everyone to understand? I'll read a post that's intelligent enough otherwise but still: its and it's are confused. Weren't you people ever in second grade? Or were you so smart you skipped from first straight to third and missed out on common contractions? That must be it. So I will explain.

It's is the same thing as it is. The apostrophe (') replaces the s in is. You could say, "It is cold today," or "It's cold today."

Its is used to show ownership of something. This is not the case with most words. You would write, 'Mike's hat,' not 'Mikes hat.' English is one of the more difficult languages to learn because of this sort of thing. When 'it' is in possession of something, you write, 'its.' From what I can figure, this is to eliminate confusion.
Example- "The dog ate its bone." You would not write, "The dog ate it's bone," because that's the same thing as writing, "The dog ate it is bone," and that just doesn't make any sense.

Bookmark this post. Print it and tape it to your wall, or better yet, fold it up under your pillow and absorb it through osmosis. You do whatever you need to do to remember it, please. This is elementary school grammar. It's (not its) not too difficult to understand.

Re: Colorado Culture (Boulder)

I agree with the last post (nice pic btw). From personal observations, the folks influenced the most by corporate media tend to be the people who can afford to keep up with the latest trends (read: affluent, white). Much to my chagrin, we live in a society where celebrity worship is commonplace, and this drives our consumer-oriented culture that many other nations have grown to despise. Perhaps the need to keep up with the Jones' is symptomatic of a greater problem, i.e. a shortage of self worth or lowered self esteem? It saddens me that these sons/daughters of the well off are the ""future leaders" of America. At the University level, the Greek system breeds this obsession with material goods. Consumer culture will hang itself soon enough, and hopefully the Greek system will meet it's demise as well. Despite what many Libertarians may want to believe, our planet simply cannot sustain the current rate of materials consumption. In economic circles there is an adage that speaks to human innovation being our greatest resource, and that we will somehow overcome any material shortages vis a vis wiser resource uses. That remains to be seen. This much I know - Uggs are simply uggly.

Colorado Culture (Boulder)

I don't think the OP mentioned anything about advertising...by the way what does "guide it's steps" mean? Is that the same as being influenced?

Anyways, I agree with the OP. Colorado's trends and fads seem to be a few years behind which is very interesting phenomenon. Ugg boots are a perfect example. Uggs are everywhere here but would never be seen in NY or LA. Bape style hoodies, (those loud, long, lightweight hoodies that looked like they've been barfed on) are huge among the broseph set in Boulder and Denver but have not been seen the light of day since the middle of the Bush's second term anywhere else in the country. Are cities on the coast boxing up all of their old, out of style clothing and sending them to Colorado? I can't figure it out. It would make sense if CO had it's own unique style but it doesn't. People in CO simply follow fashion trends that have since faded elsewhere in the country.

Fuck you! There's no WAY I would go see New Moon (Anywhere)

Bored at work today, I've been trolling the personals on CL. I've noticed there are a lot of girls who are trying to get people to go see the shitty new Twilight movie with them. Why are they so desperate for company to this movie? Because it fucking sucks ass. Who wants to watch some retarded emo chick not fuck a wolf or a vampire? It's like a shitty porno plot without any fucking money shots.

Unless someone would suck my dick through the ENTIRE movie, there is no way I would see it, and even then, I'd probably still have to wear ear plugs. That'd piss off everyone in the theater, though, cuz I would just be loudly jizzing all over the inside of someone's mouth.

re WSM=Requests for butt love

I love being that drunk. Honestly I do. The most uselessly hilarious drunk time in the world is when you wake up and say, "I e-mailed WHO last night?"

You should respond to this guy. Give him a break, he was drunk. "The universe would have it so." Right? Maybe he really is your soul mate and this is just the universe's way of testing your faith in true love.

On second thought, don't. He's a Scorpio. No offense, Scorpios, but you really will fuck anything, won't you?

TO all my FRIENDS! (everywhere)

I have over 7000 friends around the world and right here in my own hood!
They know nothing about me and in turn, I know nothing about them.
SO! What does a REAL friend mean to you?
It seems that the information highway only facilitated a superficial, tawdry, insignificant, flippant meaning of “Friend” anymore!
I just realized that I want my time back! The time I wasted in reading, listening and considering others as beings. They are nothing but predatory perverts, with nothing on the ball but perpetual loneliness and a hopeless and uneducated look into their Karma.
I’m done answering Emails, Facebook, Twitter and shit like that.
I will now tend if not a garden, some cockroaches, which deserve my consideration and time better than any human I know.
Fuck you all my “FRIENDS”

Rant- Really old dude on the bike on broadway by campus

really dude! Thanks for ruining a perfectly enjoyable evening! We just got done watching some live music on campus and then your dumbass rides up to my car screaming and shouting about bs. I was waiting to turn right onto broadway to leave campus- I couldnt see shit so I had to pull up and temporarily block the bike lane- OH NO!!! - hey asshole how about you do what 35,000 other students and i do EVERYDAY when we ride our bikes to campus and go around the car- there wasnt a single car behind me! I have to walk and bike between cars that you old asses drive every fucking day. Noooo you had to flash your flashlight in my face and screen and yell that i was taking up the bike lane- FUCK OFF you angry old man- oh ps grow a pair- the second we started rolling down our window you took off on your bike- it wasnt that hard was it!????

re: the culture in colorado (Boulder)

As I was explaining to a young friend in western Kansas the other day, it takes a little while for all the trends, gimmicks, superficial spectacles, to filter their way out here to the great flyover, and only the best stuff survives the trip. We're for real out here, and we don't get into something just because somebody on cable television says it's the latest and hottest. Why, we'd still rather eat barbed wire than dance to disco.

So I took a risk and posted an ad on Craiglist (I have been having a hard time meeting people: http://boulder.craigslist.org/w4m/1471189522.html).

The ad was short, simple, and NON_SEXUAL. In response, I got cock pictures, and requests for anal sex.......gagh . Really? C'mon, does this really work for you? I posted one response below.

"it's like this....I am hot. I'm not gonna lie. I am fucking hot, but (butt) I have never had butttttttttt sex. And, you are the lucky girl. The universe would have it so. So, yeah, I'm drunk, but, seriously, I want to have sex with your butt....ASAP or maybe ASSAP...hahahahaha so, seriously, when are me and your ass hole gonna....connect? I'm gonna give you till high noon to get the ass fucking you deserve. Respond before 7 am for free lube, after seven I'm gonna have to charge you. I'm just fuckin with you, but really if you wanna have anal, I'm down...if your ass hole is the quickest way to your heart, I'm your soul mate. P.S. I like indian food and I'm a Yankees fan and a Scorpio. Surrender your bung hole to my heart/cock.

So word is from an inside source, (ex coach that is in touch with current CU coaches) that Hawk has been offered a buy out and the search for another CU head football coach has been started.

I hope this is true! So so bad. Take your son with you too!

I've not been able to find anything on the world wide internets about this yet but I would not doubt it.

turn lanes (boulder)

just a heads up to the MANY who have no clue:
when driving East on College and turning right onto Broadway- you can and SHOULD proceed when Broadway's clear, DO NOT wait for the arrow- I've seen College backed up past 13th b/c of you idiots.
also, when taking a left onto Pleasant from Broadway- don't wait for the green light!! that turn lane was designed so that it ends well before the light,..... so that we could pay it no mind and have a chance to turn even/especially when the light is red.

Your collective cooperation would be HIGHLY appreciated!!!

red suby OP (don't care anymore)

You're right, you were the first post after mine...my mistake. Anyway, yes, people do drive slow or don't pull out far enough into the middle of the intersection while making a left turn. Also one of my own pet peeves, so I try not to ever be "that person". It just doesn't help the situation when the person behind me is waving his arms and honking, when he probably can't even see what's going on in front of me. Anyway, I don't want to fight with people I don't know anymore, so I'm over it. It happened and nobody got hurt, so I guess that's something.

red subaru (boulder)

All of you responding to my post are speaking as if you were there. (Except for the first poster after mine) There was NO green arrow. It was a flashing yellow arrow, which means WAIT for traffic to clear. I know how a left turn works. If I had had an opening, I would have taken it. Traffic DID stop eventually because we were going to get a green arrow and that's when I made my turn. There was no way I could have gone before that. Unlike him, I realize that I'm NOT the only driver on the street. You think I'm a moronic driver because I waited for traffic to clear? Do you even realize how idiotic that sounds?

I was the first poster after your OP.

In this case, don't take it personally. I was "ranting" about how it seems most every driver in Boulder waits for a personalized invitation to proceed through the intersection and lumped you in with that category (especially those damn water-drinking soccer-bimbos in SUVs). As I stated first and foremost, I WASN"T there, so that yields an obvious and egregious defect in my argument. . . .

Sounds like the guy behind you was a jerk. Ok. Or maybe he realized he had left his stove on with the wooden cutting board on one of the burners. . . who knows.

I was just using your post to vent about how SLOW most everyone moves through an intersection.

Peace.

re red subaru (table mesa/tantra)

Well I WAS there and let me tell you-

OP: finger up the nose. What do you think it is, a f***ing gold mine? No wonder you missed the turn. It was busy, though. You would have had to have been a daredevil to do it.

Subaru driver: had to take a huge greasy sh**. Looked friendly enough, though. Wouldn't regularly honk like a maniac. Had nice pants on, didn't want to ruin the car's interior. Don't worry, made it to a toilet in time.

re: Boulder Carpetbaggers (OP) (Boulder)

Wasting my talent here is as good as wasting it anywhere else, pretty soon there won't be any newspapers to write for and who really wants to be a professional blogger? I'd rather keep driving truck. If you think I'm good at historical comedy, you should have known Sender Garlin, or my neighbor woman across the street who moved here in 1955 for a job she still basically has. She gets me rolling on the floor pissing myself laughing when she talks about what has been done to this place just since she's been here, and there's others like her. Get to know old people. Go to the Boulder Historical Society at 12th and Euclid and kind of, you know, read between the lines a little. Find out about the whorehouse that was at 5th and Pearl for decades, and the sanatorium that used to be at 11th and Arapahoe (numerous dead bodies fished out of Boulder Creek mud when they were building the new library in 1967), and about the Second (not the First) Baptist Church and why it was at 19th and Canyon for so long, surrounded by student ghetto. Especially check out the city council wars in the seventies when they attempted to get equal rights for homosexuals, and why the college bookstore at Broadway and College doesn't have glass windows anymore. Fun stuff.

Oh, I thought the OP was you getting rear-ended

re: red suby (Boulder)

"While I wasn't there" "a normal person could have driven a loaded semi through the gaps in the traffic you missed."

good stuff do people think before they post nonsense like this I wasn't there either :)

That was the point. There are so many people in Boulder just like the OP who appear to wait for a monogrammed invitation before proceeding. Seriously.

The green arrow is only green for a few seconds. The longer you sit there and wonder what to do next, the fewer cars can make it through the intersection. Similarly, making a left without a green arrow implies you need to stop being a priss and actually use the gas pedal.

The OP was the embodiment of all the moronic white-knuckle drivers in Boulder who are afraid to even approach the speedlimit.

First of all...you WEREN"T there, so let me clarify some things for you. There was no fucking break in traffic, so what I was afraid of, was getting smashed by somebody who actually had the right of way. Second of all...you WEREN'T there. So fuck off. It's assholes like you and the piece of shit behind me that get people killed. I almost wish he had gone around me and gotten himself hit head-on.

red subaru asshole behind me (table mesa/tantra) (woulda done it)

Last time I checked, turning left with no arrow meant we have to wait for oncoming traffic to either stop or clear before making our turn. You, fucking dickwad, were honking and trying to turn before me even though you were behind me. What the fuck did you want me to do? Turn in front of the oncoming traffic? You're a fucking idiot. I hope you sleep well at night knowing you're a huge douche.

While I wasn't there, I can sympathize with the guy behind you. How much space do you need???? Fer crying out loud, a normal person could have driven a loaded semi through the gaps in the traffic you missed.

You need to locate your accelerator and learn to use it. If you don't, those of us who know how to are going around you. I, personally, would have turned left from behind you just to piss you off, and to show you there's nothing to be so afraid of.

re: Anyone else sick of seeing Sarah Palin in the news? (Boulder)

yes, absolutely - but the study of her intellectually challenged followers is fascinating
fascinating, that is, if you are interested in why our country will continue it's authoritarian drift with totalitarian government as all but inevitable

quite the echo chamber there

here's a comment from one of her flock:

Umm, just one question CNN ( and the others )....If Sarah is so "unpopular" and so "unqualified" then why did her book sell out before it was even on the shelves ? Why is her FB Page close to going over a MILLION supporters ...'

Sarah Palin is on the front page of every news site and channel today...why? I am getting sick of seeing her stupid shit eating grin. She is a nobody, she will never become president.

Last time I checked, turning left with no arrow meant we have to wait for oncoming traffic to either stop or clear before making our turn. You, fucking dickwad, were honking and trying to turn before me even though you were behind me. What the fuck did you want me to do? Turn in front of the oncoming traffic? You're a fucking idiot. I hope you sleep well at night knowing you're a huge douche.

OPEN UP your heart. And Bleed. (Boulder)

Here we go now-
I fight with you-I am passionate with you-I tell you things I tell no one-I dont tell you many more things, that I can't tell anyone. You would just be sad anyway-if you even believed me! so there is no point. I secretly wish you spoiled me-just A LITTLE. But you never have or do... I give way too much for you! Everyone says so-and I KNOW.... SO- I think I am finding other men more interesting than you lately. :(

-My life is slipping into shit lately...And im not sure wtf to do!!! I feel like no one around me even gives a SHIT! Including my boyfriend! I only have myself! And it freaks me out... does it ever get BETTER?!
I think I may tell everyone I know (including my boss) to F-off, and then just disappear!
Goodbye Boulder ! Thanks for the beautiful creek-and the kind people I have met along the way.

re: Boulder Carpetbaggers (Boulder)

"In 1960, the university was about 5,000 head . . ."

wonderful post
my only question is: where can I find more of your work online?

and if there is nothing else of yours on-line, why are you choosing to waste your talent in this forum?

what the fuck is wrong with you chris chandler?

So I got this e-mail:


Subject: Thank YOU!‏
From: Chris Chandler (freemont04@*****.com)

For informing me of brobible.com! You made my day, and I plan on letting all my fellow bros know about it. Yes, we all think like that. No, we don't all act like that. Yes, we are all pigs. No, we are not all only a penis with a body attached. Sorry you've had bad relationships. I've never had a girl break up with me.


Chris Chandler, please don't send messages to my e-mail like that. I'm glad you like the site (as much as I hate it, it entertains the hell out of me) and I'm glad that even if you think like that you don't all act like that. Thank you for apologizing on behalf of men for my bad relationships. But seriously, don't fucking e-mail me. Just don't. For future reference, put 're: brobible' as your subject and post it on r&r. Also, "I've never had a girl break up with me." What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Are you the pretend-to-care-about-it-until-you've-fucked-it-and-then-dump-it type or are you such a gentleman that you and every woman you've ever dated have been able it sit down and break-up mutually and civilly? Whatever. Just don't e-mail me, please.

I would also like to point out that I had the decency to not give your full e-mail address out to whoever may want it- just in case you hate unwelcome e-mails as much as I do. You're welcome for that. I would have left your name off but I figure if you cared you wouldn't have e-mailed me with it.

re: carpetbaggers

"And if people had any brains at all they'd realize that the reason Boulder is getting more crowded is because people keep having children and they have to live somewhere"

That's one of the most moronic sentences I have read in a long time. Thanks!
====================

Hey, great photo of you! Thanks. You, of course, missed the point that because people keep having more and more children that naturally the world gets a little more crowded. Is this a difficult concept for you?

Just so YOU understand

I know things.

conspiracy

a secret agreement between two or more people to perform an unlawful act
a plot to carry out some harmful or illegal act (especially a political plot)
a group of conspirators banded together to achieve some harmful or illegal purpose

Felon

Law One who has committed a felony.

Break the cycle

Refuse to accept abusive behavior. Demand reasonably predictable and rational actions and reactions. Insist on respect for your boundaries, predilections, preferences, and priorities.
Demand a just and proportional treatment. Reject or ignore unjust and capricious behavior.
If you are up to the inevitable confrontation, react in kind. Let him taste some of his own medicine.
Never show your abuser that you are afraid of him. Do not negotiate with bullies. They are insatiable. Do not succumb to blackmail.
If things get rough- disengage, involve law enforcement officers, friends and colleagues, or threaten him (legally).
Do not keep your abuse a secret. Secrecy is the abuser's weapon.

suicide

1 a : the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind
b : ruin of one's own interests
c : apoptosis
2 : one that commits or attempts suicide

I have decided to be a human being. Human beings know mercy.

synonyms mercy, charity, clemency, grace, leniency mean a disposition to show kindness or compassion. mercy implies compassion that forbears punishing even when justice demands it

Further, "I'm a pimp and pimps don't commit suicide" (note quote)

I forgive you, but I also believe in self defense. You really should look that up all on your own. You seem to have a distorted version of it.

Hell, even James "beat your kid" Dobson knows when to quit. Do you?

RE: Boulder Carpetbagger

"And if people had any brains at all they'd realize that the reason Boulder is getting more crowded is because people keep having children and they have to live somewhere"

OMG....This is great, just proof of what comes out of Boulder. What a shame.

ass clown at the bike shop (louisville)

I love Louisville. I always have. People are generally friendly and easy to get along with. You Sir, however, are the booger dangling off the nose of humanity in this town. You must not live here. Commute from Denver or Boulder most likely.

I've shopped with this store through three locations and two owners {I think, maybe three}. I've spent a lot of money, but that isn't what should garner me decent treatment. I'm a customer, I'm not asking you to kiss my ass, but not making me feel stupid goes a long way towards keeping my business. Everyone else in your shop has always treated me wonderfully. I will continue to come in when I need to buy something, but from now on, I'll get my mechanical work done across the street.

re: Boulder carpetbaggers

Well said! I loved your post. And if people had any brains at all they'd realize that the reason Boulder is getting more crowded is because people keep having children and they have to live somewhere. Every place in this country is getting more crowded. So quit bitching and enjoy yourself once in awhile. If you don't like it here -- move. I've never heard such a bunch of whiners.

Re: Carpetbeggers in the raw - today (Boulder)

While Mr. Tebo buys the rest of properties around Boulder and then lets everything go to shit, including the roads with huge craters by the police station, while bicycles and drivers wipe out and bounce in front of ambulances with flat tires, while the cops scrape the undercarriage noisily as their license plates fall off when they hit the holes, the cops get tough with old vets sleeping in the ditch, or black women sorting through the donations left in the snow. The cops turn a blind eye to the fucking gangs invading Boulder, to the graffiti sprawling from 63rd St to the Mall, to Pearl, deaf ears to the shop windows being broken and kicked in everywhere. Wait until the light rail hits town! You think the holes are deep now? Nooooo! they'll be full of shit too; stinky shit from the ghetto of Denver, with a Tebo face and Nazi dressed cops that will bust your ass for being too white or Naropish, or breathing whatever clean air that is left.
Yeah! City Council, my ass. Yeah! Boulder citizens, my ass! Bunch of pansies, more likely! Peace, my ass! Tranquility, my ass! Community, my ass!
50 fucking years in this beautiful town, only to watch it turn to shit, thanks to the gutless, greedy Tebo, cops and ball-less fairies and fucked up fat cunts!
Fuck you Boulderites, pretentious pricks! Time to head for the hills...wait! You pillaged that too!

Rave - The guy/gal who cleard our sidewalks this morning South Boulder (Boulder near Chase and Moorhead)

We had an anonymous sidewalk cleaning too... my corner lot. I would not have broken my back, since I got a little single stage thrower, It was a pleasant surprise to find that for 3 blocks, the sidewalks on Moorhead, as well as 3 huuses deep on the sidestreets were all cleared. Many at homeowners that never clear snow on their own.

Thank You, mystery plow/snowthrow/atv person who got up early.

You Rock!

Boulder carpetbaggers

In 1960, the university was about 5,000 head, the town around 30,000. There was nothing to do, nowhere to go for dinner, and the college kids were as alien as now, in a more elite upper-crust conservative way than now, they didn't even try to fit in. Goss-Grove-Arapahoe were unpaved, Folsom was the edge of town, lots of Mexican coal miners and there's a few left, collecting black lung disease checks; when they die, the heirs knock down the little cottages, put up four plexes and fill them full of students. Ever notice how every time the apartment vacancy rate gets above a certain level, somehow as if by magic the enrollment cap at the university gets raised? There's a recurring discussion among old-timers goes like: Boulder was a great place to live until [fill in the blank]. Popular suggestions include: 1991, all the Californians sold out there, moved here, bought twice the house for the money, ruined everything. Early seventies, all the radical hippies started gentrifying themselves and the town, ruined everything. 1965, IBM came in, or 1953, Rocky Flats came in, ruined everything. (My father went to Mines in the late 40s on the GI Bill when it meant something, did a fifth year at CU and died a slow death the whole year, couldn't wait for the weekend to go back to Golden where it was happenin'.) 1933, they moved the trains out of town, drunken frat boys couldn't pass out on the tracks and get decapitated anymore, ruined everything. I've heard more than once, but have been unable to verify, that for a period in the early twentieth century it was illegal to wear a hard hat or carry a lunch pail through downtown, or variously Mapleton Hill, because the mineowners and rich retired farmers that lived there didn't want to be reminded of their financial dependence on the working class, and there were no labor wars here like there were in Cripple Creek or Telluride or the southern coal fields (remember Ludlow?) My personal favorite is 1876, they put the railroad through downtown and opened the university, pigs couldn't sleep in the mud on Pearl St downtown anymore, ruined everything.

Moving to Boulder (Boulder)

Most people fall in love with Boulder after visiting for a few days. I know I did. After living here for two and a half years I can say it is an okay place to live but would probably not recommend it to many of my friends or family members.

First the good:
If you are serious about outdoor sports and activites Boulder is a great place. Boulder is minutes from incredible hiking, biking, rock climbing, etc. I am in much better physical shape having been surrounded by friends who eat healthy and excersise most days. I would say that the outdoor activites are the biggest thing Boulder has going for it and really the only reason I've stayed this long. It is very easy to make friends in Boulder if you like to do things outside. Boulder is a very safe city. Aside from the occasional bike theft or drunk frat guy going nuts downtown crime is pretty much non-existant. Boulder is a very clean, well maintained city and most residents here have a sense of pride in living here. Boulder is the most dog-friendly place I've ever been. Personally I am not really into dogs but I have never been bothered by dogs since most owners here train their dogs well and always pick up after them.

Now the bad:
If you are NOT into outdoor activites you will find Boulder very boring. There is not much of a scene for 30 somethings in Boulder; the entire town is overrun with college kids. A nice day in Boulder is hard to beat but in reality the weather here is not as great as everyone claims. Boulder has nowhere near 300 days of sunshine; that is a complete myth. In fact I'd say the ratio of sunny days to snowy/rainy days is pretty comparable to the east coast (I lived in NY for 3 years). Like other posters have mentioned Boulder is full idiots with way to much money and free time. In some cities the rich are yuppies in expensive suits or Paris Hilton types. They are annoying but at least they make no attempt to hide their wealth or douchy behavior. Boulder is full of rich people pretending to live a Bohemian lifestyle. They drive their Range Rovers to the coffee shop and blog about ending the war, global warming, GMO foods, and other bullshit from $3000 Macbook laptops. These "trustafarians" are irritating but easy enough to spot and avoid once you've been here for a while. If you are a very direct person who likes you speak your mind you probably won't like it here. Most people in Boulder consider themselves openminded and progressive but in reality they are VERY easily offended and passive agressive. Even if you aren't saying something directly offensive many people in Boulder will be offended that you would dare say anything that might possibly offend some other group of people somewhere on the planet. Unfortunately this creates a weird, invisible form of censorship that stifles ideas and free though.

Good luck making up your mind - ignore all the idiots who complain about too many people moving here and ruining the vibe or whatever, they should pack up and head for the hills if they don't like it. My best advice to you is to try and spend more than a few days here before moving. Boulder is really easy to fall in love with if you are only here for a few days when the weather is nice but you are defintely not getting the whole picture.

been here before you were born probably!......1974.................... (yep)

been here since 1974.........................seen the "plague" spread over Boulder county..........from the californians to the trustafarian east coasters.................clazz dizmissed............

re re: Thinking of moving to Boulder ~ - (Californication of Boulder)

I've got two memebers of my family in ninth street.

Exactlly how long has your family been here?

Shut up now.

re: Thinking of moving to Boulder ~ - (Californication of Boulder)

If you want to see Boulder stay the great town it is(was) at some point we should stop broadcasting how amazing it is to all the other places that suck(california, east coast cities). If you have been here long enough, than you probably have the same opinion as me, that it has changed for the worst, because of all the people moving here. I moved here many years ago myself, so I am not bitching about people moving here, but there is no need to make it worse than it is. We can slow it down a bit, so just tell your family members, not the entire world.

Rave - The guy who cleard our sidewalks this morning (Longmont)

You came through on an ATV with a plow this morning and cleared our sidewalk, just wanted to say THANK YOU!!

Thinking of moving to Boulder ~

This is to the person who is thinking of moving here: I moved here from the East Coast a year and half ago and if your an out doors person like me then you'll love it ! I really love all the trails, hiking, dog friendly, lots of lakes, mountain views, drives in the mountains....It's beautiful here !!! The wildlife has been a great experience for me. The sun is always shining even when it's snowing! Sun rises and sun sets in CO. are like viewing post cards. When I'm out doing my morning power walk I stand still looking at the sun rising as it shines on the mountains and it makes me glad to be alive.
That's the good news. Since moving here in my cute little house with my cute little dog in a cute little neighborhood all I can afford is my walks, hikes, getting on my bike. Everything is very expensive.
Forget about wanting to snow shoe or go skiing because I can't afford it. I barely make ends meet to have a roof over my head and food. I had a good job back home but coming here with degrees didn't matter. The cost of gas is a little cheaper than back home but everything else is for the rich. Unless your young ( and I'm not I'm in my 40's ) don't mind working two jobs or have someone who is financially helping you, you won't find living here any more exciting then back in PA. Save your time. As for the people here..to find a native is like looking for a needle in a hay stack and then when you do, they are very upset at how Boulder has changed. I find they moved to Longmont or other cities. They hate what the implants have done. People here are very friendly at a distance..arms length away as they all will say Hi when passing them on the famous Pearl St. or on a trail but neighbors don't know neighbors, people don't let you get too close. They have this armor around them that lets you in just a little but not close. They are all good at superficial talk but not much more than that. I can't count the number of people who seem so friendly and excited when they meet me and say they'd love to join me on a walk, hike I then give them my phone # but I never hear anything. It is very lonely. The men I've dated just want and dream of climbing in bed with a college girl. Men close to 60 with long grey hair down their backs flirting with the college girls make me sick. They have even given up being in good relationships to go hunting for those young things. I've given up on seeking a friend/companion. They are to in to themselves, self centered.
That's a bit of advice coming from someone who made the move and would like to move back but stuck here. Too expensive to make the move again so will try to be content with my walks, hikes, coming home to the sound of pitter patter from my dogs feet hurrying to see me. I love my dog. Please use careful thinking before you make your move. Listen to those who are writing before making final decisions. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Best of luck.

I Love Boulder (Sugarloafer)

I have lived in my same home for 17 years. I have two teenagers in school here and, of course, I work here. We are not of the prolific wealthy here, nor do we live in a trailer park. We are the true-blue American Middle Class. The schools are great. Lots of parks, activities, and clubs. Summers are magical with Farmer's Market, Outdoor Cinema, and free concerts on Pearl Street Mall. I will agree that the population is quite homogenous despite CU and Naropa. But if you seek, you can find rich culture everywhere. ANY kind of food that you enjoy can be found. Greek, Chinese, Tibetan...festival every year. The Tea House, too. A full-time day job is difficult to find. But with patience and tenacity, it can be done. So, that has been my experience. Well, that and I hate winter and we have 10" of snow right now and it's still coming down. That part sucks unless you like to do winter sports. However, when the spring melt comes, it will make for great kayaking, tubing, and wading in the creek, right? Every place has it's plusses and minuses. Maybe, sometimes, it is what YOU make of it.

re: thinking about moving (from the east)

don't listen to those idiots. they obviously aren't actually from here but moved here so long ago they feel entitled to think so. The one rule you must obey if you come to Boulder is to be yourself and don't try to tell anyone else how to be, or at least that's how the locals act. If someone gets mad at you for something stupid or tries to blame the problems of the town on one specific population they aren't from here; it's way to complicated to dumb it down like that. This town is probably one of the most dog-friendly towns i've ever heard of. There are at least three dogs parks that I know of and people don't "buy" dogs here, they "adopt" them. As for business, the rent is high but if you can afford it, there is actually a pretty steady economy, which is mainly held up by those trustafarian college kids "with no sense of the worth of money" that everyone is always complaining about. Housing can be expensive in Boulder, but if you look there are places to live for a decent price and if you can't afford it, there are bedroom communities about 10-15 minutes outside of town (yes distance is measured in time here, and people tell directions in compass points, it's something you have to get used to but it's quaint and i, for one, like it) in Louisville, Lafayette, and Broomfield, just to name a few. Sure, Boulder has its problems, but if you've ever dealt with the problems of DC, Pittsburgh, Hartford, NYC, Detroit, LA, or any other city that has comparable living expenses, Boulder is a haven. It gets 300 days on sunshine a year and crime is almost non-existent. I complain about Boulder too, but only because I get bored because there isn't much to complain about. So come to Boulder if you can be cool about it, we need more people to balance out the fools who answered your post so rudely earlier. Besides, they have got nothing on NY jerks, these jerks only yell at people on craigslist. Namaste. :-)

RE:Thinking of moving to Boulder and need advice (East Coast) -

I am from PA and moved to Boulder from 2001-2006 and now back again since May of this year, and sometimes I'd rather be in PA. There are no jobs here-unless of course you want to work for the already established, rich, white, middle to upper middle to higher class Boulderites that have already taken over this beautiful place. And you can also kiss diversity goodbye. There are mostly only white people here, and the hispanic and other non-white people that work for all the rich ass white people in the kitchens. I was once told that Boulder used to be really cool-a mecca for free thinking artsy folks but then rich people from Texas and California bought everything up and put everyone else to work-and look right on this site, under jobs and ALL you will see are service industry jobs, cleaning jobs, painting jobs-bullshit jobs and or mindless jobs that serve the rich. They don't want free thinkers, they want obedient, subservient slaves with no personality that are as clean cut as all the other assholes on TV. It's an epidemic in this country. The rich have taken over everywhere, and we can work for them, for $7-$12 an hour getting them coffee, or checking their groceries out, or waiting on them, or watching their spoiled sugar raged children or wait on their rich ass CU college kids that have no concept of money and live off daddy's credit cards. (as our credit card bills get bigger, and bigger and bigger until bankruptcy-where the fuck is my bailout????) Or we can go stay at the homeless shelter. This place is a total fucking joke and I can't wait to get the fuck out of here. I am looking for 2 jobs, at that pay rate, that way I'll be making just over $20 an hour working 80 hours a week so I can save money all year, so at the end I can leave and NEVER come back. The American Dream is DEAD!!!!!!!! I can't wait to move out of this country and become and ex-patriot and finally tell all these insane Americans to go fuck themselves.

RE:Thinking of moving to Boulder and need advice (East Coast) (Boulder)

Colorado Has enough Transplants stay on the East coast. Boulder is over priced and full of Trustafarians. People that want to get into the outdoors. The mountains use to be nice just like everything else that has been ruined by urban sprawl. I-70 so much fun sitting in traffic no matter what time of year anymore. Wages do not match cost of living in Boulder. Oh that house that would sell anywhere else for 200K, in Martian Acres crappy 60's house can be had for 500k. Boulder Monica without the Ocean. Where did Boulder loose its roots it was an old west mining supply town. Thanks Whole Paycheck for moving the historic depot so you can expand parking and store. BMW, Cayenne driving soccer moms were having to many confrontations over parking. So if you can afford to move to Boulder and like to deal with conceded, jaded, narcissistic, militant cyclist, poor drivers, ENJOY!

I promised the "Homeless J" I would post this. I payed the "Homeless J" a dollar so I could get a couple great pics and he could get some "Cowwwwffeeee". Notice the yellow sign in the background. Symmetrical to the haircut???

BBW? (does not matter)

This may have been already discussed, but I will say it again - what is going on with all women calling themselves BBW. If you have a pretty face - then yes, do it by all means. However, simply because you are overweight/fat does not give you the right to spoil it for really beautiful women who happen to have a bit more loving body.

Would any woman call a fat dude a Big Handsome Man even if he was plain ugly?
Peace:) I'll go enjoy my port now.

re chubby chicks

Okay, so there's a BIG difference between CHUBBY and OBESE. Chubby people can easily still be attractive. Obese people though... how many out there would sleep with a seriously obese guy/chick? I've done chubby a couple times and I'd do it again, but I draw the line at a BMI of 30 or more.

Thinking of moving to Boulder and need advice (East Coast)

Hey everyone, I am considering moving out west to the Boulder area from the East Coast and am looking for a little advice. I am a 33 yo single female small business owner and am wondering how easy/difficult it is to open a business in the area-any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I will also continue to run my business here in PA at the same time. Also is it as dog friendly as I keep hearing that it is-that is very important to me...Where are some good areas surrounding Boulder to live as well? I have been to Boulder a few years ago for business and loved it, but would love some suggestions/advice from the locals. Thanks so much! :)

Great mechanic (Boulder)

Our Land Cruiser is a tad older and the folks at Charley's Garage have been extremely good to it/for it. Their help got it to pass Emissions the last time around and she's been running much better since her last check up with them.

RE: I would sleep with a "chubby chick" (Longmont)

"There are only 2 kinds of chubby chicks, good ones and better ones."

Absolutely true (and clever, clever!). It's a shame more people don't share your outlook. Everyone would be a lot happier if they stopped listening to what TV tells them is desirable, and started appreciating the many shapes out there, which look (and feel) way better. Chub on!

Good news for anti war people (everywhere)

The U.S. Army has just informed us that 70% of America's youth are either too fat, too stupid or have too low of a moral quality to be accepted by the military. This will come in handy when the decision comes to surrender our belief system. We can just blame it on the inability to form a suitable defense force. So eat up, watch American Idol and break all the laws you want kiddies. We no longer need to even try. You rarely see kids in shape anymore and does anyone ever walk to school? I guess we need to lower our standards for the military and let the youth train on X-Box boot camp.
The next leaders of our country?
God Bless America. (pass the french fries please)

Fat kids, no more War. I like that!!
