  • 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."

        ”Oh Mormons, they sure do believe some crazy stuff, but that’s no reason to villainize them. They are so harmless and cute!”

        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.

                      Why would you think he was?
                      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.

                                Using 2020 technology to make a game that feels like 1980. I still remember playing the 350-point Adventure game on a VAX 11/780. I have a version of that game that runs on Windows, but no longer have the patience to try to get through the whole thing.

                                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?
