Seriously. Not pronouncing the -er at the end of a word carries a $60 fine.

Dude, there are like 4 negros in Utah.

I should probably stand up for my old home state, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  Utah's not all bad.  It's beautiful, and Salt Lake isn't that horrible.  But I'd never live there again (even though I really miss the mountains).  25 years was enough.

To bring this back to topic, sort of:

Paul, I hope you have a taste for caffeine-free soda and don't like your coffee too much.

[wombat]

I never thought of this before: How many Starbucks are there in Utah?

[CortJstr]

There are 37

37! [/clerks]

[Golfhaus]

Which means there is one Starbucks for every 2,294 square miles in Utah.

By compasion, there are 208 Starbucks in New York City, or one every 2.25 square miles. Although I believe the general rule is that you are supposed to be able to stand at a Starbucks in the Big Apple, turn in a circle, and be able to see at least one additional Starbucks.

Don't found any more Starbucks on your way though the parking lot!

Anyway, if you're allowed to be a gangster but not a gangsta in Utah, does that mean that you're allowed to carry your 40 (or "fotie") in a violin case?

Actually you have to carry your glok in a violin case. You'll have to find someplace else to stash the booze.

Most of those Starbucks are probably in the Wasatch Front/Park City area (just checked, all but one, it looks like.  The other one's in St. George).  So it's not as bad as it seems.

Here's a map.



That bigger circle up top, that's the area I'm talking about.  I live somewhere in that black dot, in Draper.  Paul, that black dot Southeast of me, that's you, I think.  And St. George is at the bottom of the map.  Nothing besides polygamists and anti-UN nuts exists outside of those two circles.

My town has all the usual starbucks right across the street from starbucks thing, but my goal is to build a starbucks inside of another starbucks.

It's funny, but it's been thought of already.

[Thee]

Oh yeah?  Where's the fuck*ng onion when I'm in starbucks selling coffee to people waiting in line?  Huh???  All talk, but nothing in the sack

Not to mention at least once stand-up on Comedy Central and the Clerks cartoon series.

Well it's obviously an idea whose time has come.  What are they waiting for?

Since the board is all about education, and since it's somewhat related to the discussion, here is a fun fact about Canada:  liquor can only be purchased from the Liquor Controle Commission (aka the LC), with the exception of wine, which can be purchased at either the Liquor Controle Commission or a private wine shops.  The private wine shops can only carry wine - absolutely no beer or hard stuff.  There are many LC's around but there is no such thing as a grocery store or (god forbid) convenience store that carries booze in the Great White North.  Larger grocery stores all tend to carry non-alcoholic sparkling beverages, non-alcoholic beer, the non-alcoholic mixes for booze (Daiquiri mix for example) and sometimes even beer and wine making kits, but the booze itself?  Nope!

This makes more sense to me than Indiana's rules - in Indiana, you can buy beer or wine at a grocery store, and you can buy liquor at some grocery stores.  The prime rule keeping liquor stores in business is that for some reason, you can't sell *cold* beer at a grocery store.  This, apparently, crosses the line.  The defense of this rule is that drunk drivers are enabled by being able to buy cold beer at the grocery store - apparently having to go to the liquor store lessens their urge to drink, I don't know.

I hate Indiana.
