    Let Utah be Utah
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Yeah, the typical patronizing tone was there, even if he didn’t really get into the crazy beliefs. Also he faults Utah for electing Mitt but commends the election of Mike Lee? Eff Kauffman.

(Sen. Lee cosponsored with Bernie Sanders the high-profile resolution to end US intervention in Yemen.)

              I felt the same way, but figured I wasn't smart enough to understand his depth.

                I don't think I want to be his level of smart.

                  Is it true that the man who slapped a reporter’s derrière during a 10k run is LDS?

                    It’s not dispositive of his potential Mormonness, but he appears to have been married in a Methodist church and was a scout leader with a Methodist parish.

                      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                        My husband was telling me about it and he said he read the guy was LDS but I haven’t found anything that corroborates that.

                          I am fairly sure he is not. He was identified in a report I saw as a youth minister at a methodist church.
                          PLesa excuse the tpyos.

                            Your husband must have been reading CB, where a poster claimed it was his YM leader when the CB poster was in YM.

                              BYU student Nick Walton creates something pretty cool: an AI-powered dungeon text adventure game.

                                I still like ASCII text games, but only because I've been using computers for more than 4 decades. Who is going to play this new one?
