Where did you grow up: Colorado, just north of Henderson pass
WHAT DO YOU CALL:
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks.
Creek
2. What is the thing you push around the grocery store is called.
shopping cart
3. A metal container to carry a meal in.
k-ration, but thats only because I don't carry a meal in anything metal
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in.
cast iron frying pan, I ain't from the south but there is only one type of frying pan for non-reactive cooking.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people.
couch
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof.
gutter
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening.
porch (if small), veranda (if it wraps around)
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages.
coke
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup.
pancake
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself.
depends on the type of sandwich, but I assume this refers to the sub
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach.
Beach?! I'm from Colorado.
12. Shoes worn for sports.
Dependent solely on the sport
13. Putting a room in order.
cleaning
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark.
I suppose you refer to a firefly, couldn't ever say I've ever seen one
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball.
?
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down.
see-saw
17. How do you eat your pizza?
YEAH FIFTH AMENDMENT!! I refuse to answer this question on the grounds it may incriminate me
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
garage sale
19. What's the evening meal?
dinner
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
basement
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places?
water fountain
This whole thing amuses me, mostly because this doesn't recognize the fact that someone from Florida or Hawaii probably has no idea what Champagne powder is (is a really light dry snow with an snow to water ratio of nearly 12/1, ie 12 cubic feet of snow to one inch of water). Mountain to me is 10000ft or greater, because if it doesn't break treeline it's a hill. A river to me refers to a creek with a high enough flow rate to kyack or raft the rapids. When I go to sea level the air feels thick to me, like I could pull out my knife cut a cube out of the ether and ship it home, it would make an interesting conversation piece. Hurricane force winds are a fact on life in the fall and spring when gust of 70mph are not unusual, blizzards in the winter every 2-3 years and a tornado or two within a mile of my house every summer (I'm on the edge of tornado ally not in it). As I type this my roommate is sleeping planning to get some spring boarding in before the avii (avalanche) danger get to be too high. In any case I'll chuckle and move on...
