news-snow-thur-chipotleA story in the Progress shows how this peak near Chipotle restaurant in Barracks Road Shopping Center— photographed and named here on Christmas Eve (when it was smaller)— has become the center of a beverage-fueled betting pool among UVA enviro students who set up a website to monitor their favorite snowy mass.

    Stupid UVA students. Go read the Onion from UW-Madison if you want to get a lesson in college humor. The Mt Chipotle blog is junior league.

    It should be called Mount Shifflette or Mount Shifflete or Mount Shiflette or Mount Shiflete or something. Chipolte is owned by the morons at Mickey D’s,,,give them nothing.

    Ummm… some of you need to seriously get a sense of humor and sense of perspective - if THIS story gets you all upset and snippy, what doesn’t????? RELAX. No need to be anal about EVERYTHING.

    I’m a huge Onion fan, and I think the UVa blog is very well-done!

    (For the record - McDonald’s did not start Chipotle. It was started by an actual guy - years later, McD became a major investor, then sold their share 5yrs after that.)

    How many UVa law students and professors will be at the bottom of the pile if someone falls off and breakes a fingernail………?

    I’m concerned. I recently read a scientific article regarding seismic activity around Mt Chipotle. Yesterday I ran across what seemed to be a gray volcanic cinder cone near the mountain. With the 2018 Winter Olympic bid still up for grabs, I hope this doesn’t hurt our local community’s chances.

    The homeless could go out there and dig Mount Shifflett out. They would have one heck of an igloo for a couple of months.
