Oh no Cristi don’t feel that way! I would love to head up to Flint and visit you. I won’t go this weekend-- Nice, sunny 75 degrees out on the Florida Gulf Coast. I’ve travelled around most parts of the world and I’ve always had something good to say about most of where I’ve been. I’m sure a down home coastie Southerner like me can appreciate a place like Flint.

So tell me, Cristi, how are the beaches there? 😃

I assume you are referring to the Appalachians? Feh! They’re not tall enough to be called foothills! Most of 'em aren’t even a mile high! I say, you can’t call it a mountain if you have no trouble breathing at the summit.

Try the Colorado Rockies. Try the Sierras. THOSE are mountains. 😛

Feel free to correct me at any time. But don’t be surprised if I try to correct you.

Any bets on how long it’s gonna take for CanadianSue to mosey in here and start bragging about **her** mountains?

Ummm…the Canadian mountains, that is.

If I get elected, I pledge to tear down the Canadian Rockies and build a mall and parking lot on that site.

The Canadian Rockies?

That eyesore has to go!

Let me get that for you Sue…

Ahhhhh yes… the majestic Canadian Rockies.

The wildlife, the clean crisp air, the open space, the unspoiled forests, the heavenly clear blue lakes and sparkling streams…

I think I’ll go fishing now…

I would like to express my great concern about this thread being significantly longer that the \ ***I Love Coldfire** /i] thread.

Ah, CRAP!! I should have posted that to the OTHER thread, right?

Anyway, for what it is worth, I hate your collective guts too 😃

Jab,

Oh your’re right of course. But I’ll tell ya what, c’mon over, we’ll drive western Maryland, climb those hills, agree that they pale in comparison to the Rocky Mountains, and then I’ll shove you off. They’re not REAL mountains, so it shouldn’t hurt REAL bad, right? 🙂

Bluepony, there is a special circle in Hell for people like you.

Come up here and visit it. Please!

Coldfire: I don’t really hate you. But you know, the speaking four languages thing, the Formula 1 thing, the being able to travel to different countires in a few minutes…well, okay. Maybe I do hate you. 🙂

This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here.

Why thank you Smugly… hmmm Sealemon… my mountains? well let me see, I do believe you were the one who came to Canada, sans jacket in October, knowing full well you were heading up to the mountains.

Now wasnt that great Canadian hospitality I showed offering you the warmth of wool in the -23 temps. 😉

and Wally… you can run around out west in your gown anytime hon… we westerners love that fashion statement.

CS: Not my fault. I was warm getting on the plane then, because I was wearing _jean,._ not shorts.

Down here, snow is that stuff you see on the TV screen at 3 in the morning.

I’d also like to thank you for turning on the heat long enough to melt the icicles in the house when I was there. Just kidding.

They didn’t melt. 🙂
