Anyone else find it hilarious that the California cheese council has spent millions of dollars on an ad campaign trying to convince us that their cows are free, happy, and warm, since it never ever snows there, unlike the frozen miserable cows of wisconsin…
And then the governator has his own commercials with his buddies talking about how Cal-ee-forn-eea is a winter wonderland we all need to visit to ski and “shred”?
Anyone? Anyone besides me?
Wisconsin HAS barns, you know…
California HAS to use gimmicky falsities to sell their cheese and get people to go to their ski resorts.
Wisconsin just needs to make their cheese and Colorado just needs to be.
Something you do with cheese? I think you shred when surfing and snowboarding. Isn’t that how AH-nod broke his leg?
Snow is generally reserved for mountains. Cows generally avoid mountains, preferring more level terrain, of which there is LOTS.
Of course, the California cattle ranches are generally either manure-and-mud filled pits, so that the stench of “Stock-Town” (Stockton, CA) causes drivers to turn on the car’s AC and RACE down I-5 in order to avoid puking, or dessicated barrens devoid of ANY trace of vegetable life. And when you wash the dust off your car, the “aroma” of the stockyard returns full-force. The pleasant meadows on the commercials are a myth no less fantastic than the talking cows.
Shredding is something dude’s do when getting “radical”..Our son a few years ago embarked don the initial stages of what was to be his future pro-skating career, having eschewed academics.
He was amazed that their unique skater lingo was understandable to me since it was just recycled vernacular from the mid 70’s when I had some of the earliest urethane wheels, and I sucked.
He took the term to the extreme when his homebuilt box with grind edging on it that he nailed rather than screwed on ‘ground’ back. the pooped head of the nail “shredded” the palm of his.
Gnarley!
