  • I did the local river rapids on an inflatable sea turtle the other day more or less because of a friendship like that. Also in the same day we went to the rodeo, a concert, he tried and failed to get laid at a party bar where he lost his wallet, we came upon an illegal rave riding our bicycles back and joined that for an hour, he threw his chain like a mile out from the apartments and like hell 2 drunk guys were getting the chain back on a fixie in the dark so we ended up walking the last section next to the highway.

    This is an example of it going poorly but advertisers to an extent do it on purpose. Kool-aid gets used to refer to powdered drink mixes like band-aid is used to refer to adhesive bandages and, in some regions, coke is used to refer to soda in general. The idea is to become so associated with the concept as to overshadow the competition.











  • I’ll be fascinated to hear more about this as it gets investigated. I’m a former ski lift operator and there’s so many systems on a modern lift to prevent that. That one looks not quite new but certainly not so old as to not have such precautions. Though it just says hit a pole, it’s possible that said pole wasn’t a lift tower, and of course being that this happened in Turkey it’s possible if not likely that the standards are simply lower than in Colorado.
