I'm glad it was a good experience for you.

This reminded me of a story I read on CNN oh....2-3 months ago. A group was considering lobbying to have the marriage laws changed. Only those that could PROVE that they could conceive and have children would be allowed to get married. One of their stances was that marriage was only to be able to legally produce children and if couples could not have children then there was no reason for them to be married. I thought "What the freak?" This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen proposed.

That was another new thing for not Utah types. My favorite pizza of all time is from "The Pie" is SLC. They offered me rootbeer. I gladly accepted. It was warm so I asked for some ice. They looked at me with disdain and asked, "You're really going to ruin rootbeer by putting it in ice?" I said, "Yes." They shook their heads.
The Pie is an awesome place. Hey I would put ice in rootbeer if it were warm too.

You don't know what a fark is.
Root Beer is not available in gallon milk jugs in your area.
A twenty-two is a beer not a gun.
Your a Democrat.
YOU don't even know who Johnny Lingo is.
-a-train
what IS a fark? rootbeer comes in a gallon jug?
A fark is a fork and yes rootbeer comes in gallon jugs. One place to obtain is A&W.

It's just somethin i've seen people do in other forums on other sites when they want their topic to be put back to the top of the list when there aren't many people saying anything
Ahhhh okay.

I totally agree with all the comments. So now what if someone on that plane contacted this and dies? Does he get charged with manslaughter or murder?

Huh??

Here are a few of my own additions...(I lived in Provo for a year and Cedar City for a year so...these are culled from personal experience).
You know you aren't from Utah if:You've never heard of Michael McLean.
If you have, you don't know the words to any of his songs.
You see as many churches during a four hour drive as someone sees during a four minute drive in Utah.
The girls in your ward don't have dyed hair and orange skin from faking'n'baking.
The girls in your ward don't wear mini-skirts to church.
There isn't a special musical number during every sacrament meeting, every week.
Testimony meetings don't revolve around how great roommates/family members are.
You can drink Coke in front of another member and they don't try to hide a look of disbelief.
A dare doesn't involve getting a rub-on-tattoo.
You have no idea what "Motab" is. (hint: Mormon Tabernacle Choir)
You signal before you change lanes, and you don't cut people off in traffic.
You also go close to the speed-limit.
Your toddler doesn't come to church with a miniature missionary tag clipped to his/her Sunday shirt.
No girls in your ward have been on missions.
If you have served a mission, you don't refer to it as "the mish."
Your friend's dad isn't a GA.
You haven't marched through town in a pioneer re-enactment.
You didn't see "Legacy" or "The Testaments" until they came out on DVD, and had never heard of them before they did.
You didn't go inactive for a period after your mission.
You haven't kissed half the members of the opposite sex in your singles' ward.
You don't use a PDA during Church.
Your ward roster doesn't have a picture of everyone next to their name.
You've never heard of a "mix'n'mingle."
You can count on one hand the number of potlucks your ward has had.
You've never heard of "Jericho Road," "Inside Out," or "Hillary Weeks."
Another would be. You know you are NOT from Utah if you actually pronounce MOUNTAIN with a "T" in it.

Trip to England. My ancestors are from there. One even owned a castle which is now open to the public. One is buried in the royal plot by the Tower of London. Would love to see some of these places of my ancestors etc. Plus just the whole history etc.

Also I would have thought one of Palerider's favorite movie lines is:
"Show me the money" Since he promises to pay for things though he lives 2000 miles away.

Ok so im planning on moving to arizona before my mission for a year and i dont even know where to start......the problem is I'm canadian. Does anybody know if it'd be possible for me to go there and work for a year?
I would check with the American Embassy in Canada for the requirements.
-
Frosty's are okay. Just not a real fan of their food.

We have Sonic. In fact one just down the street from a Wendy's and an A&W. I avoid Wendy's as much as possible. Unless it's 1 a.m. and nothing else is open.
-
Oh I'm sure that would work. Just walk in and say some dude name Palerider is paying for it. They would be going
-
Darn it you guys. Now I need to go to A&W. I want a root beer float and they have the best.
-
Hmmm I guess I haven't noticed. I will have to pay more attention. haha

Your kids believe the deer hunt is a national holiday.
When I first came to Utah, I had to ask why everyone was taking vacation at the same time?
My father-in-law rarely made my wife's birthday, because he always went hunting.
Even when it is not hunting season, the hunters are still on the prowl. Their idea of family bonding is to pile into the truck and go look for deer. Once we saw a coyote, which I guess is always allowed to be shot. The dad wanted his six shooter NOW!. He was going to take shots at the coyote that was 200-400 yards away. I was a little nervous. Also the time the sons were trying to shoot a bird out of the sky. I kept thinking, what goes has to come down somewhere.
And don't forget about the 24th of July. I didn't understand why the University was closed, fireworks were being shot, big parades were going on. At first I just shrugged my shoulders and thought they didn't get enough of the 4th of July. I'm still not sure which holiday is bigger in Utah.
Only ones that seem to get that holiday off (unless you schedule it off) are the banks and state offices.

OK. You get the numbers 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, & 5
Here is the teaser: you must use the above numbers to fill in the blanks below. The sum of any three numbers (two vertical-one on the left and one on the right, two diagonals-like an X and one horizontal-right in the middle) must all sum to 24. Where do the numbers go?

I never heard what the outcome was...but this also reminded me of a man (and I use that term very loosely) who had been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder. It seems he had a very strong hatred of women. So being HIV positive he had sexual relations with hundreds of women hoping to infect each one of them. Now there is a guy that needs to be taken out and used as a target during hunting season.
