mountains == men

Hilarious fluff piece today in the local rag that basically says Colorado is a sausage fest. The article says that there are 1.16 men for every 1 woman in both Larimer County and the State.

What could possibly explain this? According to the article:

Where there are mountains, there are men, said CSU sophomore Laura Phillipson, 19.

That’s why I’m here. Because there are mountains. And I’m a man.

For more amusement and an egregious example of a fluff article (above the fold, I might add) which could have been condensed into a single sentence (“There are 116 men for every 100 women in Larimer County according to Census Bureau data released Monday”), read the story for gems such as this one:

“It definitely seems like (there are more men than women) at the bars. (But) they are drunk … . I met my boyfriend in class,” said Laura Dill,a CSU senior.

Drunk men at the bars! It’s what we do when we are done with the mountains, and while taking breaks from fighting bulls and each other! Men! Men! Men!

    As a corollary are their women in Kansas?

    I just realized as I hit the Submit button that I said “their”. I meant “there”.
