A) Well, it's a can of Coors, brewed from a mountain stream. It'll set your insides on fire and make your kidneys scream. Sure is fine.

Colorado Bitchslap

Name for a March-May Blizzard, one day it's nice, sunny and 70 degrees, the next day it's a white-out. The weather bitch slaps your brain, and makes it difficult to concentrate, among other things in Colorado that are already distracting you, for example, legalized Marijuana.
Man, I was going to go for a killer climb, hike and bike today, but we've experienced a Colorado Bitchslap, so I'm going to do nothing, except watch my car experience a Colorado Carwash.

Colorado Quicky

A quick sexual act, originating in Aspen, CO, that consists of taking off many layers of clothes or ski clothes and enjoying the magnificent views and penetration. This can happen in many places, but the gondola seems to be the optimum choice.
Maddie: Did you hear Alma and Steve just left for a good old Colorado Quicky, I hope they enjoy the views!

Joe: Yeah, but they're in for a bumpy ride; the gondola's getting a little shaky in the wind.
