Coming from a Canadian, that would be enough for a whole new thread.

I have 4 names on the prize list so far.








Hose A – I blame it on my meds. They finally kicked in! What a difference Androgel makes. All us old farts who need hormone replacement should get on it. :lol: :lol:

"...particapating." Whaaaa? Does this have any relationship to decapitating...oh, right, you're cutting off the thread poll.

So, for what it is worth, I don't care what you call it - The Baja, or Baja. Just don't call me late for drinks or dinner.

CaboRon - 6-2-2008 at 05:10 PM

Some of those prizes look pretty cool ...

I wonder who the four names on the list are.

Any suggestions ???

Does Androgel make you more androgenous?

No.:lol:

Nomads are still voting

CaboRon - 6-3-2008 at 09:29 PM

These Nomads can't be stopped ... they just keep voting and serious statistical trends are being observed here.

Here are the latest in the poll which has been viewed over 4,000 times (only surpassed by "US Real Estate Downturn")
which just proves that it is the rediculous that really goes the distance.

This thread has also had more than twice the posts (114) of any of the so called relevent threads.

So, the current results are:

I like it 11 or 12.36%

I love it 21 or 23.6%

I hate it 45 or 50.56%

No Opinion 12 or 13.48

So you can see the "haters" have achieved a simple majority.

Obviously the challenge is still being answered.

Non-Photoshopped Mexican Atlas Map depicting "LA BAJA":lol:



Edit: Changed to map without the red lines I drew in under LA BAJA.

Elenvest18,
Cool map ... maybe my vote is changing to support the "La Baja" thing :wow:

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-4-2008 at 12:23 PM

It's ok CaboRon; you can change your mind. No one will think you’re a "Flip Flopper":lol:

It is correct to use the article for a territory, i.e.; The Yukon Territory. It is not correct for a state or nation.

Grump, grouse, growl.:mad:

Is that the final word or will this thread expire from over-bloatedness at a later date?

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-4-2008 at 05:01 PM

Let it die a natural death.
No lethal injections please. "Viva La Baja":lol:

Oh Jeez!
I'd rather contemplate the possibilities or the finality of Professor Irwin Corey's question and answer:

"Is there sex after death":?::?::?:
Answser: "Emphatically, NO!" :wow::(

CaboRon - 6-4-2008 at 05:40 PM

You could never put one over Professor Irwin Corey ...

Who would know? The more pertinant question for boys our age would be, "Is there death after sex."
Black Widows need not answer.

I’m trying to give this thread new life through artificial insemination.

Caveat: I hope the Moderators agree that it is ok since the schools teach this too.

Edit: Changing from Censors to Moderators.

But "The Baja", as it's used in a general sense is a territory or region consisting of two states: Baja California and Baja California Sur. We don't say The Baja California because it's a specific state but isn't saying "The Baja" equivalent to saying "The South" or "The West" in the U.S.?

Just for the record, the words are never uttered from my mouth. :P

Oso - 6-4-2008 at 08:07 PM

Used, yes. Correct, no.

In Los Angeles there are the "La Brea" tar pits, on Wilshire Blvd. Every school kid had to study them and take a field trip there. These geographic features have always been called "The La Brea Tar Pits".

Now, if you translate that, it is: "The the tar tar pits".

Chew on that one.

That's really the PITS!!!!!

BajaNuts - 6-4-2008 at 10:02 PM

Just my 2pesos-

Baja Norte and Sur are two separate states, which most infrequent travelers don't understand. The Baja peninsula is a geographic region. I would like to hear "peninsula" included with the words "THE Baja".

To be correct wouldn't we have to say-
1) "I'm traveling to Baja California Sur" or
2) "I'm traveling to Baja Norte"
3) "I'm traveling to THE Baja peninsula"???


If I hear a person say "I'm going to see THE New York", to me it means that person has a preconcieved idea of what New York will be and look like. When someone say's "I'm going to the Indy"... do you think of the city or the race?

The same goes for Baja. When I hear "I'm traveling to THE Baja" I think of the race, some other event, not a place. When advertisers say "Visit the Baja of your dreams", that's not necessarily a place because dreams are different for everyone as everyone's "ideal Baja" is different.

Maybe we can all take the gentle teacher approach and gently correct anyone who says "THE Baja" inappropriatly. A simple explanation that "THE Baja" should include "peninsula", otherwise it's refering to the region and should not include "THE".............

Dennis! Are you begging for mercy or bragging?

Just to keep it on track with the topic I would like to contemplate (the) Baja life after (the) Baja sex. To put it another way ; have (the) Baja afterlife launched by (the) Baja sex. This way, (the) death is merely a means to a happy ending; anti-climatic, if you will. :spingrin:

The state is Baja California - there is no "Norte" in the name.

David K - 6-5-2008 at 08:20 AM

You know when one says Baja Norte, all he means is 'NOT Baja Sur'... as in 'I'm going to Baja Norte'. Because if he says he is going to 'Baja'... then that means the whole peninsula, and maybe he wants to specify just the northern half?

Like in L.A. Bay in the old days, Antero Diaz loved to be called 'Papa'... but his wife Cruz did NOT like to be called 'Mama' by strangers, only by her children... The problem was, where there is a Papa then there's got to be a Mama! (Cruz eventully succumbed to the constant refrence and accepted she was famous as Mama Diaz).

So, where there is a Baja Sur, then there must be a Baja Norte to balance things out! Yes, officially the north half has no 'Norte' in the name. Kind of like Virgina and West Virginia!:yes::lol:

Just saying "La Baja" makes Baja sound like a romantic place you want to be.

I would never say "The Baja."

I also kind of like "La Baja" but I don't really care for "The Baja"

I believe that "The Baja" dates back to the late 1500's at which time the Spaniards thought that the penninsula of Baja California was actually an island, and referred to it in awe as "El Baja"---------so you see, it actually is a historical term.

Being a sort of historical guy (like Neal Johns), I like that name.

Much too late for this thread to die a dignified death but. a merciful one is in order.
Please, HoseA, would you take it out behind the barn and shoot it? It's time. Everybody say bye bye.
