Just to be clear: not everyone who was at chocolate lake this weekend was a disgusting, disrespectful slob. My friend and I took all of our trash home with us. —Bad Reputation

No of course not everyone is, but trying to tell that to someone who lives by a lake is pointless. I used to date someone who lived on Porter’s Lake and I couldn’t do anything without being called a “townie” because I was near THEIR lake.
well thank you very much, but for the record, who really cares? the lake was a polluted shithole for a hundred years, why wasn’t it cleaned up before they decided to buy mr. billman’s land there. trust me, i know all about what was and still is in that lake. doesn’t the name set off any bells in your heads? what else would be chocolate that you know of, and the car bodies that are still down there, would shock you. grant you it is a very deep small lake, but it can only hold so much crap, for so long. i did some divinmg in there, with a team from shearwater years ago, and it looks like an alien planet under water. there are tons of caves and shit there. looks like the pueblos in mexico.
Aren’t replies and followups to be posted on the original bitch, and not as a new bitch?
wasnt Chocolate Lake is named because of the Chocolate factory that used to be on the land that now houses the hotel? I dunno what LIFE is talking about.
brown shit nerdlinger, brown shit. and no, to myknowledge, there never was a chocolate place there, just the color of the water.
“…to myknowledge…”
very credible LS… indeed.
I think I’ll trust wiki more…

It’s sad that Wikipedia is smarter than LS.
Is it a surprise though?
Anybody been to Liscomb Lodge. That river is like swimming in Guinness.
MMMMMMMMM…Guinness
yup, by land and sea…i opted for the sauna, pool, hot tub trio
SOBova and I did a little swimming “au naturel” at the fish ladders. Any poor unsuspecting hiker would have thought the belugas were swimming upstream to spawn…. And now I have “Bad Moon Rising” going through my head for some reason.
mmm, my favourite kind of water sport…nothing like naked swimming
Choco Lake was pretty gross with heaps of garbage when I was there! I was quite unimpressed I have to say. Lots of fat, ugly white trash there too, which probably had a lot to do with it. There was one woman picking up bottles at least but didn’t touch the other garbage.
melectric, I heard Porter’s Lake is a lot nicer to swim in… you just need to know the right people who are related to everyone there to get the good spots! Guess there may be advantages to dating an annoying chick from there after all.
