Still, she says there's no reason to call a woman stripped of Hall of Fame honors a name that would make a sailor blush.

Being married to a former Navy man, I can tell you that there isn't anything a biatchy scrapbooker can say that will make a sailor blush.

Especially if the journalist is trying to hint at the "c" word. Yeah. Right.

This is pretty obvious.

"That anybody would care enough to go attack somebody else's deigns, or whatever, is just stupid. These people should have better things to do, like spend money in my store,"

That's the most Fark-like quote I've read in a while.

I think scrapbooking flamewars have real potential.

I think it would be more interesting with actual flames. Hours and hours of lovingly preserving memories, gone in moments. Of course then there'd be a new batch of must-have supplies. "Our paper is acid-free and flame retardant!"

NO. My mom wouldn't let me go to Liberty Park when we moved here either - she kept insisting it had "too many trees."

I'm in West Valley/Magna right now and it really gets gross as you move west across the valley. I grew up in Detroit and it's not nearly that bad. There're aren't any African Americans here in Utah (it's a college town, so there are still REAL Africans) but there are still quite a few Latinos. The number of Latinos increases as you move farther west from SLC.

/I wonder if there is a correlation between Latinos and crime

you ought to read the comments made whenever a direct-order scrapbook business goes out of business with no warning - locking people out of the offices, taking money and not filling orders, writing bad checks for payroll....it gets down right vicious.

In Detroit we called the crazy homeless genetic underclass CHUD (Canabalistic Underground Humanoid Dwellers). The CHUD here in Utah is much more tame than Detroit, but they are still there.

I'll have to take you up on that next time I'm in Utah. It seems like a crime free paradise* compared to where I live now.

*Other than the low crime, not so much paradise though.

Come on guys it's Utah! The women here are expected to squirt out children, pop prozac and wait for their husbands to get home so they can get preggers again. Most LDS people don't drink, smoke, or take drugs. Let the relief society have this one

my favorite thing about the current crop of homeless is the able boddied youngins panhandling downtown.

EVERY single business on 4th south is hiring,
I see people every day with "Jobless" on a piece of cardboard standing in front 10' X 40' banner that says "HELP WANTED apply inside"

I have to lock my door at night to keep the jobs out

//local unemployment rate: ~2%

I moved here from Detroit and the crime levels here really are a joke compared to any large city. I love it out here. If you like the outdoors, fishing, camping, backpacking, skiing...they have all 4 seasons. I am within 4 hours of almost every terrain(except the ocean) and 5 hours from Vegas. Oh yeah, the job market is awesome out here.

The part that I miss is the music scene. With all these white people and mexicans, the music scene is really lacking. Detroit was much better in that area, but last time I was home Nancy Whiskey got robbed twice in 1 week...it's a tradeoff.

Oh, i know! At least in Detroit you could get them to dance for a dollar or tell you some boring sob story. We used to ride down Cass Ave and throw spoons from the HS caffeteria at the homeless and hookers while we rode past in out cars. We called it playing Spoons.

These kids panhandling look chubby, rosey-cheaked, and healthy. I also noticed one had a really nice North Face backpack. I could only afford a Keltey Red Cloud! I have seen them getting into nicer cars than I own, too.

I liked a bunch of it, I grew up there. And Utah is great, except for the culture, or lack thereof. I just got sick of it eventually. A large majority of people there need a major attitude adjustment. I still visit the family, and get in my skiing when I do, and Lake Powell and the Zion National Park area are still some of my favorite places on the planet.

I'm enjoying the hell out of living right near the beach though, that's something I never had growing up and the novelty hasn't worn off yet :)

What is it with LDS people that don't know about anything except their ward and squirting out babies? They grew up here, went on a mission, went to BYU, then moved to Layton or Bountiful to start making puppies who will do the same thing? I work with one guy who I personally think he has a lot of bodies burried under his house. I couldn't imagine growing up here...way too stifling for a kid. I'm glad I moved here though, for an adult(kind of) it's great

Not in this town.
Stay in you car, don't roll down your windows at the lights, and carry a sock full of sand for protection during the run from your vehicle to the building.

It's even worse in the mining towns
