Buffalo wing chips

I got these chips from Archer Farms last week. They were "buffalo chicken wing" flavored, and you should know that buffalo chicken is one of my favourite foods, so I bought them, thinking they would taste like buffalo hot sauce. So I opened them when I got home, and the chips actually tasted like buffalo wings. It was gross. I looked at the ingredients, and one of them is chicken fat...Moral of the story: Don't ever get chips that are made out of chicken fat.

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Over the weekend, I went up to Nederland (just West of Boulder) to check out Frozen Dead Guy Days, a festival celebrating this old man who died many years ago and is cryogenically frozen...It's this incredibly morbid festival that has become pretty famous and there are various activities, such as a "polar plunge" where people jump into a cold lake for a nice dip, frozen t-shirt contest, brain freeze contest, etc. The event is highlighted by the coffin race, where teams carry customized coffins through an obstacle course. There must be someone (alive) in the coffin at all times. There's a picture below. Nederland is quite a place to begin with, and this festival really tops things off. Beautiful weather, celebrating frozen dead guys...a good time had by all. And if it means anything to you, I saw Moosebutter sing live there!

Here's the story of the Frozen Dead Guy: http://www.nederlandchamber.org/info/frozen.htm

Are you a middle child (or wish you were?)
This sheds some light on my personality...

In lieu of doing anything remotely productive, I've decided to create a blog. We'll see how it goes...
