    We had a pond at our old house and it attracted lots of wildlife. Our 3yo came running into the house one day yelling "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" followed by a scream from my wife. I go into to see what all the comotion is and my boy brought in a frog and showed to to my wife. I ask him what he as there, and he replies "A fuck".

    I take the frog and put it on a lily pad in the pond. The frog sat there for a while and then jumped into the water. Boy starts crying. "He was my best friend", and then proceeds to spend the rest of the day and most of the next day sitting next to the pond, waiting for his fuck to come back.

    You gave away his only fuck. Now he has no more fucks to give.

    Why else call it a college town if the college isn't a central thing ?  Boulder seems like it's more of a college tow than some others that get play.  I don't follow the cheap rent thing at all.  Nothing cheap about colleges now.

    Boulder stopped having the college being a central feature of the town sometime in the late 90's/early 2000's.  It might be KNOWN for the college, but it's not a central feature thereof.  Tech companies, pharma companies and to a limited extent financial companies have become the central features.  Hell, I would go so far as to say that the college is now TOLERATED by the residents rather than being a focus of them.

    The college and the associated campuses and other items still have an enormous footprint in the town, and always will, but it ain't the raison d'etre for the town anymore.

    A great college town is the town that lives thru the school it surrounds IMO. 

    Take Boulder off this list then.

    Well when you read the methodology used, small size, cheap rent, lots of bars, and low college entrance requirements seem to score a town pretty high.

    Again, Boulder is disqualified.

    Her, last night:  you need to help clean up around the house more

    Goddamn, this pissed me off.  Although even though I was just an asshole when (after the 4th or 5th time) I replied with, "Sure, and I'd like you to start paying more of the bills around here too.", the griping about cleaning stopped.

  5. Today's reason why I'm a bad person: Drove past a butcher shop on the drive into work. They were clearly in the final stages of mopping up after what appeared to be a pretty severe fire. Holes cut in the walls, smoke damage everywhere, Etc. Despite the obvious tragedy of the situation, losing a local small business, literally the only thing I could think was: "Damn, I'll bet that smelled delicious..."

    Haven't listed to that song in 16 years. When my dad was dying, he asked me to put it on repeat for him. Haven't listened to it since.

    Similar concept for me with this one.  My Dad died of cancer in 1999. 7 yrs later my sis had a destination wedding in Kona. She made mix CDs for everyone and this was on it. I drove around the island for hours with this on repeat thinking about Dad and it made my soul and my spirit soar. After I got home I listened to it once and couldn't stop crying for an hour. Haven't listened to it since. Even thinking about it now has me tearing up.

    Anyway,  I do feel that it fits this thread.
