Reply to TIL about Coarsegold, California which holds an annual Tarantula Festival to coincide with Tarantula mating season. The festival includes tarantula racing, a competition for the hairiest legs of both men and women, and a pumpkin dessert contest. by flopsychops
Also it is horrible there. This has nothing to do with the Tarantuals, simply that Coarsegold is horrible.

Reply to comment by ca_kingmaker in [OC] Argentina & Venezuela Produce More Cheese Than Switzerland by latinometrics
Hey, I never said it was a good thing that they produced enough cheese to give god an obesity problem, just that they produce an insane amount of cheese. Frankly I think quality wise the West coast beats them hands down.

Yes but as 'just a state' it produces somewhere on the order of 5 to 6 times as much as Argentina per year on less than 1/7th the population.

I mean she is also dead, which likely has its own show with its own host, somewhere.
