Holy freaking crap, SLC Projects! What the hell is your problem? No reason to get so worked up over something so insignificant and harmless as sport teams taunts! Instead of Mormons, if Utah (or any other state for that matter) was predominately Jewish, the chants would be about them being a bunch of bagel-eaters, gefilte-fish heads, something like that. (I would hope none of the really offensive stuff comes into play!). Maybe something about being so cheap, maybe something else. Who knows? All I know is that poking fun at religion is fair game, especially in a state that is so known for its core religion such as Utah.

If Utahans don't want to be jokingly harassed about Mormonism, then I suggest Mormonism play a smaller role in the state.

All right all right. Everyone has said their piece. Let's take SLC Projects' advice and move on.

Random but this is a great song and a cool video, especially for a break up. I first saw it on Queer as Folk and have liked the song since.

Here is a silly story, a Transgender in Boise posing as a doc and busted for feeling boobies...er giving breast exams...to chicks in a few Boise bars.
The chicks had to be drunk or horned (there are a lot of lesbians in Boise) because why in the hell would they let someone, doctor or not, give them a breast exam in a bar They should be given a fine for being stupid, but maybe they just wanted to be touched.

Woman who posed as doctor, gave breast exams in Boise bars sentenced to almost a year in jail
By Katy Moeller - Idaho Statesman
Published: 04/25/11

A Boise woman who police say posed as a plastic surgeon and fondled at least two women in local bars last fall was sentenced last week to 360 days in jail. She was credited with 157 days for time served.

Ross, who was sentenced Thursday, was ordered to pay $1,975 in fines/fees, including $700 to repay the state for a psychological exam, two years of unsupervised probation, according to Ada County Deputy Prosecutor Jean Fisher.

Is this fucked up?

So my roommate, he works as a bouncer, so he gets back late. We've been good friends for a few years. Now, he comes back and, i get it, wants to unwind... however, usually this means blasting the (my) stereo (hella bass), at like 2 or 3am, often on weeknights. Now, friday or saturday night, no biggie, whatever. but last night, it woke me up. I was getting up at 6am to drive me and 3 others up to go shred.

So he flips out on me. Starts insulting me (since i asked him nicely to turn the music off), and this morning, i get a text "good to see you finally went snowboarding once [my 45th day this season...], faggot, hope you got enough sleep". and just kept insulting me all day. starts posting shit on fb and all that. then this afternoon when i get home, gets in my face (he's my height but about 300lbs) and tells me i need to move out. what the fuck. he can't afford the place (i finally can on my own, and told him today that if i was that unreasonable to ask him to quiet the music after it woke me up in the middle of a weeknight, he can move and i can take it over - problem is, it's one of the most prime pads in denver).

so yeah, been at the bar, getting wasted, since i don't quite feel safe at home (i'm not afraid of him, i'm afraid of getting in a fight with him since i'm afraid i'll snap and kill him. me fighting anyone scares me.)

i don't know what to do.

Why not go after, say Ted Haggard and Evangelicals?

Just saying. Like, if I didn't love Colorado, that's what I'd attack. Your meth addicted handjob from a cross dresser receiving priest! Or whatever the situation was.

That's fucked. Sounds like he has bigger issues and you're the only one around to take it out on. You hurt the ones you love, I suppose.

Epically fucked up, though there's more than just being stressed out that escalates a situation like that up to demanding people move out.

Puts on Dr. Phil hat.

Perhaps your friend is REALLY cranking up the music while you are home because he wants to communicate his feelings to you, but is afraid. This would explain how your leaving the situation by going to the slopes would only serve to exacerbate the angst. Maybe him saying that you should move into another place is kind of like him saying that he wants to break up with you because of this lack of communication going on. All bromances require a safe place in which one can talk about their feelings to one another.


In all seriousness though, this guy sounds super lame and dramatic. You don't want to live with that even if it comes with having some of the best diggs in Denver. Roomate up with someone who has a girlfriend so that the drama can be channeled away from your general direction.


This works well for cheering up:

Trust me, me moving in with a dude who has a girlfriend is not a good idea.

Find less dramatic dudes, sure they're boring as hell, but they also come without a ton of headaches (usually). Hell, find someone who lives solely for WoW.

No, I mean, I get the advice and all that, but, trust me, and, particularly in as female deficient a town as Denver, I'd get into an altercation with the guy with the girlfriend (at least, assuming she's attractive).

LOL, sorry man, this picture conversation is starting to get too abstract. I was pretending to be feel bad about the attacks on furries.

I totally pick up what you're putting down though. If the ladies can't resist you and you know your limits I suppose that is just a burden you will have to always take into consideration .

Denver is known as a cow town while Salt Lake really isn't. The ironic thing is Utah really is a cow town and Colorado is actually more urban...But that's what sucks about some stereotypes ...they stick around for a long, long time.
