  1. Utah and everywhere in between

    So, if anyone needs anything from Utah while I'm there - second wives (cheers, CJ), and, um... whatever else it is that Utah has... Oh! I almost forgot third wives. Silly.

    That's right, roadtrip! I hope to have plenty o' internets along the way, so I may be updating semi-often.

    Now, if I can just remember to say "fetch" and "heck" instead of my usual swearing... wait, who the hell am I kidding?

      The folks in Utah are actually quite friendly, by and large, but it ain't SLC I'd be jacked about...I'd be pumped about all the places in between, like St. Louis, KC, and Denver (mmmm....bbq and omelets).

      Also, if you are in KC, stop by and tell the mayor "hi." He is from Paden City, WV.

      Jenny,

      Don't forget- Utah doesn't allow beer sales on Sunday. Be sure to stock up on Saturday night, if you need some for in the morning to cure your hangover. That was a hard lesson I had to learn when I was out there.

      Fetch and heck are just the beginning. Here are more:

      "Suck" - Generally accepted as meaning "Oh, SHIT!" For full effect, draw out the U ("suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck").

      "Oh my heck" - A Utah favorite, I'm sure they're thinking "God" when they say "heck" but I'll never ask one of them to admit it.

      "Oh my good hell" - About the same as "Oh my heck."

      "Holy crap" - Obviously the same thing as "Holy shit." Of all the Utah profanity that I picked up in the 12 years I lived there this is the only one that actually stuck. I catch myself saying "Holy crap" at least once a day.

      "Kunk" - Okay, so I only knew one Utahn who used this, but that doesn't mean there aren't more. "Kunk" = "piece of shit" ("...that car was kunk...").

      I'm sure Utahns have adopted "Snap" by now so I'll go ahead and add it to the list. I have no idea why "snap" annoys me, but holy CRAP, it does. :)

      I'll leave off there. I'm sure there are many that I missed.

      Haha, thanks for the advice guys! I've got a million pictures and videos from the drive out, and I'm not leaving until Sunday, so I'm going to end up with a metric fetchton of stuff to post. :)
