While this isn't entirely off topic, it's not exactly on topic either.
Did you guys see any Miss America footage from Saturday night?
The girl from Utah was wearing a one-piece swimsuit while all
the other girls were bikini-clad. Duh, Mormon. How is prancing
around in a tight piece of spandex that much different from prancing
around in two pieces of tight spandex?

Also, my gym is soooo unsexy. It's a YMCA. Lots of middle-aged
moms and pudgy dads. It's especially not very sexy at 5:20am. I'm
sure younger people populate the gym in the evenings between 6pm-
10pm.

I guess I would be one of those pudgy dads. You would not see me, however. Our gym has a lower level where the serious people go. Down there, no spandex, no ipods, no music, just the occasional clanking of weights and every so often a WHOO HAAA!! followed by some weight crashing. That's the way I like a gym.

That is embarrassing, but I actually went to BYU (and I still live in Utah). The school does have a large gym, but most students opt to go to Gold's or 24-hour gym as the rules at the RB (BYU's gym) are rather silly. For instance, you have to wear the shirts they give you if you want to work out.

It seems the people here just love to complain about such issues. I still remember when I was sent home because my shirt was quarter sleeve. It's pathetic.

And Utah is not 88% LDS. Please don't spread such misinformation.

It's at about 62.4% as of 2004. Probably a couple of percentages lower now.

I'm from Utah too, and still live there... I didn't go to BYU, though. I agree with the poster above who said that people here just love to complain complain complain about the stupidest shit you could even imagine. I guess I am just more used to it because I've lived here all my life.

CurvesAhead only meant that the percentage of Mormons in Utah County was at 88%. That I think I might believe, being that Utah county is where BYU is located, and that Donny and Marie and the whole Osmond clan live down there as well.

Yes, Sam, you are correct Utah COUNTY is what I stated had an 88% Mormon/LDS population which can be seen in my original quote below. This figure came from the US Census Bureau.
