You Know You're in Utah County When...

This should be a Facebook game. Collect your, "Mo Points" and move on.

Saturday, my son had a soccer game in, "Merican Fark". The Murray boys won, 3-2. And we got there early since the, OnStar in, "The Bitchin' Camaro" took us right to the place in much less time than I expected it to take.

So, walking down the field to the, "Port O'Potty" I passed a woman sitting in an Infinity SUV, with all the widows down, blasting the radio, and listening to LDS Conference. From where she was, she couldn't see any of the fields where kids were playing soccer and lacrosse. But she was in her car, listening to what she was supposed to be listening to, and making sure, everyone around, knew she was.

There have been amazing advancements in personal electronics in the last few years. Like the, Sony Walkman that came out in the 70's! Or the transistor radio that came out in the 60's! So you could, in theory, take a radio with you, listen to your religious stuff, and STILL watch your kid play soccer or lacrosse.

But if you want everyone to KNOW that you are more, "Holy-er-than-thou", you make a show of yourself in the parking lot!

I didn't check the back window, but I bet there were stickers showing how many kids they have. The, "more the, Mormon-er"!

The one good thing about playing soccer in Utah County on a Conference Saturday, when, BYU played (and got their ass kicked) on Friday night, is that the, In N Out Burger next to the freeway was empty after the game. I don't like to spend money in Utah County, usually. But I parked, "The Bitchin' Camaro" right in front, and the place was so slow, we had our lunch in about ten minutes.

That's the last money I'll spend in that county for a while. If I can help it.

Ok, I want to hear your, "You Know You're In Utah County If..." Stories

  1. Going south on I-15, you know you're in Utah County as soon as you pass the prison. Even without seeing the welcome to Utah County sign, the cars are going much faster, doing a little bit of tailgating, and the drivers are flipping the bird. In a rush to get to a priesthood meeting, even the Lehi police go 100 MPH with a trail of cars behind him. Great show of driving responsibly!
