| (No, I am not intentionally going to a bi-weekly format. It just happened. Twice. But it's not a tradition until it happens three times.)
OK, first let's honor our prize answerers from last quiz. ELuning scored first by naming the Westernaires, the CSU Rams, the town of Dinosaur and also the song about the fox out on the town-o. Plus (eventually) the singer, Peter Yarrow. AND he got a bonus funny answer point for suggesting Dick Wadhams as the state reptile, plus two more for naming the state bird (lark bunting) and animal (bighorn sheep).
Frankenoid knew the Fruita bird was Mike the Headless Chicken. This question/answer became a good mini course on strange Colorado festivals! I love it when that happens!
The two questions that didn't get answered were the state fish (Greenback Cutthroat Trout) and state reptile, which is the Western Painted Turtle. You may recall this from this year's lege session, when the nomination was introduced and lobbied for by a class of third graders. Unsurprisingly, the ONLY representative to vote against it was...Doug Bruce.
Here's your bonus pic -- a Colorado Aggie, seen here as Sophomore of the year in 1948, who went on to become a Colorado governor.
And now, THIS week's quiz, at last!
1. What Colorado town is the Melon Capital of the World?
2. Which of these foods is NOT the subject of an annual festival here in Colorado? Cheese, oatmeal, strawberry, sweet corn, tea.
3. What food crop is attacked by the Colorado Beetle?
4. This massively popular food item was invented in Denver in 1936, and even trademarked! What is it?
5. Two frequent SquareState posters are restauranteurs. Give their screen names, and for bonus points, the restaurant names.
As always, no fair Googling. Funny and/or interesting answers get bonus points! |
