3'. They're pretty unique (although I've heard that Scottish mountains are similar, which isn't surprising as Ireland used to be joined on). Try to combine "mountains, definately not hills" with "soft and rolling, not harsh and jagged" in your mind. It's an interesting combination.
4'. I'm not sure, somebody (from Louisiana) had brought some.
7'. I wonder if there are actually any people with a number between 3 and infinity out there.
10'. It's worth doing but it's not like you're missing out on the greatest movie ever if you don't see it.
1'. A nice example of how context-of-use sensitivity about evaluatives is definately wrong. But are they invariant, context-of-assessment sensitive or something else? I don't know.
3. That sounds just like you're describing an old mountain range, i.e. one that was jagged but has suffered substantial erosion.
7. I'm sure one could find such people starting in another country.
1. Although my interpretation is goofy, I'm not sure you're statement was clear enough that there is a right way to evaluate it. For example, it clearly means something along the lines of "here is the authors opinion on horse riding," but sounds far less personal than that. In any case, I just want to joke that one way to have fun with animals is to eat them. And I thought the above phrasing more amusing.
I've never tasted this alleged stuff, but I've heard tell of God's Own Coke being sold to the Jewish population in New York. Maybe it's just a rouse on the part of the Coke company. It's hard to put much past them. That said, maybe it's just an urban legend; given it's hard to put much past them, some of that which could get put doesn't.
Ah, yes, that sounds like what someone told me once, I'd just simplified it to fit it into my repository of useless (to me) but interesting information. I could edit the entry for clarity, but that would then make this whole exchange look kind of silly so I shan't. I seem to remember that MacDonald's in Greece bring out a special meal during Great Lent which complies with the EO Christian fasts in a similar vein.
4. Yep, it's sugar vs. corn syrup. You do know that many of the Mexican restaurants in Berkeley carry bottles of Mexican Coke?
6b. That's why all the best American Catholic parishes sneak in some Anglican hymns from time to time. Anglo-Catholicism can creep both ways!
7'''. This is cheating, but you could take a person (a Piraha tribesman, say) who's multiple degrees away from even knowing who Bush is. That would boost the number somewhat.
4'. Yes, but I keep forgetting when I'm in one. I've gotten into the habit of only ordering clear sodas (which I prefer even in when in Europe) over here.
6b'. True, we even get some at St. Withit's, Berkeley, but it was nice to get a whole service full of them.
7''''. I'm worried that if we did that, we'd just get infinity. Getting a large finite number is, I suspect, hard, though I guess it might work with a tribesman who likes another tribesman who likes a left-leaning Western anthropologist. Maximising the ratio of like-degree to know-degree would be interesting too.

4. Why did you have Coke from Mexico?
7. The notion of a Bush-liking number is pleasantly amusing.
8. Too bad ABQ isn't a hub for any airline.
10. I want to see Tsotsi but my motivation rolls have failed.
1. False. (I'm not a vegetarian.)
