Krapper Snappers

I need an idea. Turns out that in exchange for the privilege of representing NV in this 50 U.S. Blogs site, I have to write something about my state. Uhh... don't people already know all about NV? You know, silver, mining, hookers, gambling, aliens?

I was thinking about writing a compilation of fun stuff to do in Vegas as recommended by the locals.. like a local's guide book. Other than that, I got nothin'. Any suggestions?

Dude...as a native Nevada, born and raised in Vegas, who has spent the last 10 years in Reno, I would be totally offended it that was all you wrote about. I would like you to give insight about the entire state, commenting on its natural beauty as well as it more famous attributes (i.e. hookers and such)...also, please include a lesson on how to pronounce the state's name.

yes, pronunciation. write the whole thing on pronunciation. how to pronounce: nevada, drought, nuclear waste, etc.

Hopefully Mr Bush will read your website-blog and learn that he is speaking wrong.....

I love the local's guide idea. Having been born and raised in nothern Nevada, I know there's nothing to write about up there with two exeptions: Lake Tahoe and skiing.

Otherwise, Carson City is the armpit of Nevada with a bigass smelly bush, Reno is just an extension of the armpit, but slightly more interesting. Reno is the equivalent of armpit hair with dreads. Gross but slightly interesting.

There's nothing north of there worth talking about, and nothing east of their to talk about, and, oh, nothing in between Vegas and the armpit to talk about. Which basically leaves us with Vegas.

And my parents would kill me if they read this. Not only am I born and raised, I'm a fifth generation Nevadan! Ugh!

BTW: The pronunciation guide is cool, too.

not to change your thing or anything, but maybe we should start another blog, making you, me, kat, shannon, greg, etc members and we can use it to post cool stuff to do in vegas. you know the stuff that we know because we are locals, and stuff...what do you think???
