    Did you know?

    Crazy things you probably didn't know about the States.

    CLICK RIGHT HERE


    ETA: I knew this about my State, the place is about 1 1/2 hours from me. I bought a pair of Costa del Mar sunglasses there about a month age. $250.00 glasses for $60.00.

    Oh, you bought a pair of sun glasses for $60. Would you like fries with that?

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    That would be Nederland, CO. It is been an interesting place for music, and still is.

    Remember Caribou Studios?

    I've been past that many times. Kind of glad I never stopped in now looking at the reviews they mentioned.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    New Jersey isn't the Garden State, it's the State of Confusion on the Eastern Sleazeboard of the Altered States and the only state with a penis. The governor is a dick head but look at the map.

    I thought Caribou Studios was in Wasilla, Alaska, but music in Colorado is getting a lot more interesting since marihuana was legalized. Eh, whomever put up that web page doesn't know the who's who of music. For one thing Joe Walsh for all practical purposes IS the Eagles and Jorma Kaukonanan is anything BUT new talent.

    Oh, in case you haven't noticed, the White House has been upside down for quite a few years.
