Just got to Utah

[MarkGrace]

Utah hair everywhere and pregnant twenty year olds as far as the eye can see. What a place!

[LiveCoug]

Didn't you complain about this last year?

Just got to Utah. The same old people complaining about the same old stuff. What a place!

I don't see a complaint.

You've got me thinking. Maybe I should start hosting an annual Christmas/Utah bashing party!

I could probably get my wife to sport some terrible Utah hair for the event. Not the blond bob with the 80s bangs, mind you, but maybe the horrible ratted out poof-on-the-top-of-the-head that seems to be in here. Making no promises about pregnancy, though.

Did you really? Is Donuthole here? We should get together for lunch.

When we visit my wife's home ward, this is the standard view as I sit in the congregation:



It is always some iteration of this cut.

And 99% of the time, when a woman has this haircut, she is also wearing shoes with huge, clunky soles. I don't know why, but it is almost always the case.

I miss the old Utah Poof. I enjoy seeing them on replays of old BYU games.

Utah hair is like obscenity, I know it when I see it but it is hard for me to describe. I googled "utah hair" and here are the ones that seem to fit my idea of it. Anyone have others?

These two are from the same blog D³ linked:





And this one;



And this is sort of like the hair-splosion I have in mind, where you start with normal hair and place a small explosive on the head somewhere.



Kate Gosslin sports the hair-splosion:



Last, this blog is not to be missed. Someone with some artistic ability has taken a shot at this issue:

Maybe this quote from that blog captures it best:

...a LOT of girls were doing their hair to look like it should be on the head of a cartoon character.

Why would anyone want have bum pits? Nasty.

No, not really.

I'm arriving Christmas night, though, through about Tuesday. Not sure if Donut is making it all the way north.

We are Christmasing in St. George, but will be heading up to Northern Utah on Tues or Wednesday (depending on how fast we get tired of being crammed into my parents 1200 sq. ft. house). If you guys are still going to be there on Wed, I'm up for a Pastrami sub and double blueberry donut.

I am also visiting Zion and heard the following on the Christmas music station this morning during my commute from my folks house (in North Salt Lake) to the Orem office of the company I work for... an ad for a book:

"Agent Bishop... preaching repentance with a bible in one hand and a pistol in the other."

Utah radio is, um, interesting.

cheers.

I heard that ad the other day. Fortunately, it's only around Christmas and General Conference.
