I stop listening to people as soon as they say Chapel Thrill

My roommate sophomore year would tell me he would be heading up to Chapel Thrill in the evening, then tell me stuff he would do there, but I had already tuned him out.

Well, they already named Raleigh-Durham America's smartest city... or I'm going to pretend they were thinking "metro population".
