    What? No Love for Loveland Firing up it's Guns?

    I got an email from the_immaculateDeception yesterday, saying that Loveland were testing their Snowguns.

    I actually expected to see it on the TGR Front Page by now. It is kind-of exciting, after such a boney season.
    But dang if there isn't even a thread...poor show ColoMaggots...

    Who is it that tries to rival them with the early opening? I forget?

    Meh, it looked a lot more like a fine mist than snow. There actually was some new snow at about 12,000 ft on some select faces in summit this morning, but not as much as we got over a month ago.

    All good though, planting the seeds of winter...

    Look, someone on TGR started a thread about Loveland testing their snowguns.

    imo THIS is a worthy thing to note. Yes it is way north and yes it is part of the land controlled by Canuckistanadians. But it's snow. At a resort, in August. Ulllr akhbar!

    Does anyone really give a shit about L-land testing their snowmaking in August? I can't believe how fucking lame this place got. Here, may as well try this forum.

    Spot on. It's the middle of the summer and biking season is in full swing. Loveland probably just did it so they could post pictures on their Facebook page.

    The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
    We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.

    Whether it is or not.... probably not a URL your IT person knows you're visiting on company time.

    I just subscribe to the don't click any links rule at work as well.

    Fun story, after I signed the offer letter at my new gig, my boss pulls me into his office to give me this bullshit scream out about using the internet to much (mostly Pandora and TGR). After berating me for 20 minutes or so he asked if I had anything to say for myself.

    "Yeah, fuck you and this job I quit!"

    Closest I think I'll ever come to being the Jet Blue stewardess, but damn it sure felt good.
