I wonder what they were smokin' when they wrote the article.

This is just making me wonder: people still read newspapers?

lestatar · 07-22-2011, 12:31 PM

I need to move

kennyc · 07-22-2011, 12:52 PM

Yeah we got lots of open space here.

lestatar · 07-22-2011, 12:56 PM

Thanks for the invite! lol...that would be 180degrees from Hong Kong and NYC so I might feel totally overwhelmed by your beautiful vistas, requiring me to consume vast quantities of alcohol and quasi-legal narcotics.

....

Where was I?

Sweetpea · 07-22-2011, 01:03 PM

So, is this a matter of people from Colorado using more, or of them lying less?

I could tell you but then I'd have to......wait....what was that I was supposed to do?

Well you people in Colorado may have us beat as far as drug use, but when it comes to drinking the Badger State is still #1.

Binge drinking - No. 1.

Percentage of drinkers in the population - No. 1.

Driving under the influence - No. 1.

That and our legislature and governor just put into a place a a law allowing Wisconsinites to carry concealed guns into bars.

Why not let them? After all, Wisconsin has a hunting license application available for legally blind people....

Yeah, I figgered out that Badger State thing years ago. It’s all them dairy farmers wot cause it! In the summer they get up at 4 AM to milk the cows, then they get on a tractor and go work in the fields until it’s time to milk the cows again in the afternoon. And since it’s daylight until about 9 PM, they get back on the tractor until dark.

The problem comes in the winter, they still get up at 4 to milk the cows, but since the fields are frozen, they don’t have anything to do until the afternoon milking. So they go to town, and sit in the tavern all day.

And winter lasts for NINE MONTHS!!!

Lucky I live Hawaii!

From the bottom of the article, they "recommend" a 50-car wreck, the body of a climber, two people being shot, a strip-club owner arrested, and a police tasing.

No wonder Colorado's got so much drug use, if those are the kinds of things that the media recommends.
