    Bristol has been declared the cocaine capital of Europe after researchers examined our sewage and found more traces of the drug than in any of the other dozens of cities they examined. We beat Antwerp, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Zurich…

      Not exactly, he was being fucked by a horse 🐎🐴🐎.

      That’s why we say in Enumclaw, it’s better to give than to receive.

    Castells - a competition of building human towers as high as possible.

    It has a long history where I live in Catalonia - there’s a good museum of it in the Villafranca team’s practice facility :-)

      Since you didn’t actually answer the question, I’m going to have to assume that your town is known to be in the shade.

        More like we’re known for a lot of petty crimes among other things, like, someone’s going to steal anything that isn’t tied down in your yard, and in some cases even when it’s tied down, someone will just cut the chain or cable and make off with it.

    Not my current town, but the town I grew up in.

    In short, volcanoes. The town in built next to a lake. The biggest lake in the country. The lake is a caldera crater, from one of the biggest volcanic eruptions ever that we know of. And fun fact, it’s still slightly active, and several hundred years overdue.
