Here's some Dom wisdom for you...

.....

Nit-picky New Yorkers =P

Admittedly, my experience of Coney is something less than current.

 

[Etoile]

Coney is perfectly nice in the summer but once the season ends it's kind of seedy.

winter is fun

 

[midwestyankee]

Still love it with all my heart!

Thus spake the geographically-challenged. tsk tsk

I mean, come on.....they put chili on poor, defenseless hot dogs.

Be careful. All that wilderness survival shit might make him dominant like old ivan.

*snort*

(He runs 50k's up there? And he's in his 50's? H is hard, wow.)

Well, a few. Mostly marathons, and the periodic 50K but he keeps whining about wanting to do this 50K in the southwestern desert.

Mind, I don't think I can run around my BLOCK twice.

Just hold the line at that insane 100 mile race that starts in Death Valley and finishes, usually about 30 hours later, halfway up a mountain.

I think that's the one.

All this from a man who told me "I'm not into pain" once.

I find th econcept mind-boggling. I do not run. It just doesn't happen. I've done a fair amount of sprinting for health (something I need to start again), but running is just murder. No thank you. If I had to choose between fighting a bear and running away, I' think I'd just give up and see how my kung fu really is.

I'll leave the 50k's and ultra-marathons to the insane people.

Yeah, see? Insane.

 

[be_ignited]

No thank you. If I had to choose between fighting a bear and running away, I' think I'd just give up and see how my kung fu really is.

Doesn't that just make the bear chase you anyhow?

 

[Valcorie]

It has to do with the GB thread that's being discussed. Nobody here has equated survivalist skills with BDSM.

Also, West Virginia was declared independent from Virginia in 1863.

I read the GB, I just didn't quite read the West part ..lol! thanks.

 

[Homburg]

Doesn't that just make the bear chase you anyhow?

Nah, it just means that the bear stomps you.

I know my skillset and limitations. Running is not a skill of mine.

 

[Etoile]

It's okay, I just have to defend the state I live in! We're not nearly as - uh, rugged - as mountainous WV.

Oh, except for our anti-gay laws. I totally disown Virginia on that part.

Ugh, I know. The assclowns in the western part of the state, and a few too many here in my area are cheerfully responsible for that. Bastards.

That race is nuts!

You guys, I totally get where you are going by bashing the hillybilly. I am down with that. But leave my Apps alone, ok?

While the Appalachain Mountains are not as tall as other ranges or as "rugged" as other areas, there are PLENTY of places in the Apps that poeple have recently walked into and never returned. The surge of black bears in recent years and the growth in population of wild cats and wolves all along the region are alone reason to not snub my regal home mountains.

I have spent months at a time on the AT (I lack just a short bit in Maine to finish the trail) and I can personally say the Appalachain Mountains are not for the faint of heart. Sure there are other places more "dangerous" and "forboding", but that shouldn't discredit the Apps.

Just remember, the area might unfortunately harbor such back-wooded cousin lovers, but its not the areas fault.

 

[00Syd]

Coney is perfectly nice in the summer but once the season ends it's kind of seedy.

Yeah, but there is still cool stuff going on. Burlesque at the Beach and the Coney Island movie series and stuff like that.

Thus spake the geographically-challenged. tsk tsk

Chili cheese dogs are amazing and you know it. You secretly love them, don't lie.

I don't understand that myself. Sauerkraut and a small dash of mustard should be it, unless your hotdog is hiding something. Speaking of fully overloaded hotdogs, welcome to Chicago.

Oh, totally, sauerkraut and mustard is all you need, but chili cheese dogs definitely have their time and place. Mainly when I want one. Which is often.

Nobody is discrediting the Apps. I spent many of the summers of my youth wandering the NC portion of those mountains (just a holler or three away from you, as I recall). And when I say youth, I mean it. There is a family story oft retold of me getting kitted out at the age of 5 to go into the mountains, asking for help saddling the horse, and riding off by myself. They knew the horse was smart enough to keep me out of trouble and not get lost, and that animals would avoid me (I was taught to whistle and sing on the trail "because cowboys did it", and learned much later that it was a method of warning bears and such away).

I can honestly say that I love the Appalachians. They're like my second hometown, and can't think of any range I'd rather be in. But they aren't Kilimanjaro like that dickwit was trying to make out.

And there are places in Baltimore where you could go walking and might not come back. Or Richmond. Or Detroit. Dangerous places all around.

This is potentially a British thing, but I don't understand why you'd put chilli on a hot dog.

Chilli goes with rice, not a sausage in a bread roll.

This....

is a serious hot dog. Fresh, healthful ingredients that complement the dog and do not seek to overpower it with foods that do well by humankind all on their own.

Now see, chili and rice just gives me the willies. Chili goes in a bowl with cheese, sour cream, chives and mebbe corn chips. I have been know to eat chili (no beans) on my franks, but I prefer to just have mustard only.

Chili on hot dogs.... you think that is strange, try what's popular in portions of the south; pepperoni pizza with chili smothered on top. My mom swears by it.

(btw, might I say I am tickled this horrid thread has been turned into something useful and entertaining.)

I know you weren't being mean, Hommie. I'm just saying be gentle on ma' old ladies. Just like my mamma says, they might be old, but they can still whip yer ass.

How, pray tell, does that not overpower the hot dog?

Chili and cole slaw, yum (works beautifully on a burger too). Barring that, sauerkraut, yellow mustard, cheddar cheese, and (real) bacon bits.

I've had chili on rice before. Meh. It's a way to bland down the chili, which might be good for some folk I guess.

*blink* Yeah, that's going a bit far. My stomach is gurgling in protest just from reading that. I have been known to enjoy french fries smothered in chili though.

(btw, might I say I am tickled this horrid thread has been turned into something useful and entertaining.)

True that!

I know you weren't being mean, Hommie. I'm just saying be gentle on ma' old ladies. Just like my mamma says, they might be old, but they can still whip yer ass.

Quite true! I'll never forget standing on Grandfather Mountain at the nature preserve, and looking into the mountain lion enclosure. I was disappointed because there was no mountain lion. Then it moved. The damned painter had been sitting maybe 30ft away, dead in front of me, on a broad, flat, open patch of ground, and I hadn't seen it. The cat was so still, and blended into the background so perfectly, that I didn't notice him. Scared the dickens out of me, and makes me thankful that they tend to avoid people.

And have you ever heard one scream in the hills? *shudder* Scary!

*hugs* to you too, darling
