granite surfing

The act of snowboarding on slightly iced roads by tying a rope to a moving car and holding onto that rope as you try to stay on the snowboard.
Scottie: The roads just froze over, you wanna go granite surfing later tonight?
Mack: Sounds good, lemme go get the car.

Granite Falls

Contrary to popular belief, it is *not* the meth capital of the US. Or the pacific northwest. Or Washington State. Or even Snohomish County!

It is, however, a small little redneck town nestled outside of Seattle. The drug of choice is actually marijuana, and rightfully so. Inhabited mainly by juggalos and rednecks who hang out at the library gazebo and draw penises and raver code all over the walls. People who live in Granite Falls only move there so they can complain about not being anywhere besides Granite Falls.

You never mention Lake Stevens' school distract around Granite Kids. The rivalry is potent and lingering.
You never say anything bad about juggalos, ICP, drugs, or rave culture.
You never call the weird kids 'emo' unless they tell you otherwise.

You stand in the Saratoga trail with your gravity bong and smile through glazed eyes. When you trip on a log and fall into the gravel, god damn you if you don't bleed black and orange.
Oh, he's from Granite Falls.

Granite Bay

A town east of Roseville and right next to Folsom Lake. This is a really nice town with nice people too. The people who live here do make A LOT of money but are not snobs who undermine everyone else. People here still say thank you and please apposed to many other places. Granite Bay is home to many of Northern California's local celebrities as well.
If I was rich, I would live in Granite Bay.

Granite Bay

A nice little town that's relatively new and pretty misunderstood. A lot of people think that all the rich snobs who get whatever they want live in Granite Bay. That's not true. If you actually get to know the people living there, they are like any other nice people that you know. There are only the certain few that give off the impression that Granite Bay is a snobby uptight place.
I love Granite Bay.
It's so nice and safe.
Not filled with rich snobs, contrary to public opinion.

The Granite Counter Fallacy

The granite counter fallacy argues that the monetary value of an object is directly proportional to the amount of money that is spent on it. The fallacy lies in the essence that previous monies spent are subject to highly subjective rationale which may not add any practical value to the object. The fallacy is typically deployed with an appeal to novelty (newer is better) fallacy in order to manipulate the audience using current “trends” or “fads” in popular culture where the subject is likely to accept the argument based upon what they believe is “popular” and implies a “higher demand (value)”.
The Granite Counter Fallacy is as follows:

Example 1:
Person A purchases a house and spends x amount of dollars replacing the tile kitchen countertops with granite countertops.

Person A states that the value of the house has now increased because x dollars were spent replacing the tile counters with granite counters.

Person B states that they do not really mind tile countertops and to them, a countertop is a countertop - whether it is made of granite or tile does not change its practical use and therefore adds no real value.

Example 2:
Person A purchases a small house with large backyard for x dollars.

Person A demolishes the house and builds a much larger house with no backyard for y dollars.

Person A claims that the value of the new house is x + y because x dollars were spent on the previous house and y dollars were spent on the new house.

Person B says they prefer a house with a backyard and the lower electrical bills for cooling and heating, thus, the larger house’s added rooms add no real value from their point of view.

The fallacy is in Person A’s assumption that people will assume that a house is worth more than another house because it is larger while failing to understand the practical value that people may see in a smaller home. Such an argument can only work in an environment where the majority of people participate in a trend that unquestionably accepts the notion that a bigger house is better than a smaller house.

Example 3:
Person A purchases a white table for x dollars and a can of black paint for y dollars.

Person A uses all of the black paint to paint the entire table black.

Person A claims that the value of the table has increased to A + B.

The fallacy is in Person A’s failure to acknowledge that the table’s practical value remains unchanged. The reason for any increase in value is based upon the belief that black tables are more popular than white tables which is subject to change as fads come and go.
