- Regular beer and all other booze can only be purchased in 'state stores'. There are roughly 3 of those stores in the whole state.
- Alcohol bottles in restaurants must be out of view of the customers. I'm serious. Utah doesn't mind if you drink it. They'll take your money, after all. They just don't want to see the bottles. In other words, Utah has codified their hypocrisy. It's the law.
- It's no wonder the Jazz play dirty. I've seen Salt Lake City. It all makes sense. All this time, I thought they were cheap-shot artists because of Jerry Sloan's influence. I was wrong. They're a dirty basketball team because they have to live in Salt Lake. It pisses them off - and I can't blame them anymore. SLC is brown piled on top of brown, with zero architecture, zero charm, a sewage pit they call a 'lake of salt', and a political climate somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. It's drab. It's dull. The ennui is stultifying. And if I had to live there 9 months a year, I'd be throwing elbows, too. (But I wouldn't flop. Some things are just sins, no matter where you have to live.)
- I mentioned the beer thing, right?
- The Albertson's off Wasatch Road delivers your groceries to your lodge/condo. That part was cool. Only $15. But here (for those of you who like to cook) is a short list of the ingredients they didn't have: Cilantro, queso fresco, ANY fresh herbs, cushaw, asparagus bigger them a #2 pencil, rib eyes bigger than asparagus, ANY decent Spanish tempranillo, white beans, Tony Cachere's, ANY fresh peppers, aaaaaaannnnddd...ice trays.
- I saw a black guy on my 6th day in Alta. All the locals were staring at him like he had on a grass skirt and a penis sheath.
- They all talk like Sarah Palin, don'tchaknow? It makes you want to stab something in the throat.
I'm so damn glad to be home.
Go Rockets. Avenge my grief.

There's a lot of people who can have their feelings hurt, and don't forget this... this is only one basketball game.
There's a lot of things more important than that. And respect is one of them.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT PICTURE OF ADELMAN AS HITLER????
It completely ruins the thread. Associating our coach with a bastard as horrendous as Hitler is well deserving of a beating. I'd maybe expect it from the Jazz, but from you?
