. . .located in hillbilly backwater towns like Layton or Kaysville or Centerville. Those places give me the creeps. . .

LOL, you're in South Jordan, and Davis County give you the creeps? And I assume you lived in Provo during your college years?

BigFatMeanie's rules for living in Utah:

Rule #1: avoid travelling north of the SLC airport unless you're driving to Logan to watch BYU play an away game.
Rule #2: avoid travelling south of point of the mountain unless you're going to LES to watch BYU play a home game.

When you follow these rules, good things happen. Disregard them at your peril.

Exhibit A: just look in the mirror

I lived by those same rules when I was in Utah, with one additional rule:

Rule #3: avoid travelling west of I-15. No exceptions.

Well, you've got me there. That moves Layton up a notch. Still, I bet most folks in Layton eat Walmart sushi. Barbarians.

I hate family reunions with extended family like cousins and aunts and uncles and stuff. I really have no interest in what my cousins or their kids are up to. I just don't give a crap that my cousin's daughter made the Layton high drill team. Plus, my extended family reunions are always located in hillbilly backwater towns like Layton or Kaysville or Centerville. Those places give me the creeps. I would just skip it but I feel like I'm disappointing my dad if I don't go to these lame things. I lose if I go and I lose if I don't go.

You think those are backwater towns? My family reunions on my grandmother's side (basically her and all of her siblings' descendents) are held every year near Ririe, Idaho. I say near because they are actually out on my great-uncle's farm about half-way between Ririe and Swan Valley. Here's a current pic! http://lb.511.idaho.gov/idlb/cameras...ly=false&id=85

It's been forever since I've to one of these, though, because I care about how my second cousins and their kids are doing even less than my first cousins.

i guess it makes sense that confident, successful, well-heeled people who don't drive kias would creep you out.

This whole town is a shit hole, but generally the rule here is don't live inside the I-215.
