Barely OT: Euro-style graffiti appears on Utah road
Apparently the Snowbird hill climb is about this time. I've either missed it or will. But apparently
some local(s) finally picked up on the Euro tradition of painting encouragement on the road,
complete with penii and vaginae. The road is quite visible from surrounding peaks and hiking trails,
of course. The complaints of religious ninnies and UDOT's efforts to paint over the "encouragement"
made the local news last night.
Local TV of course did not depict the imagery, but given that they used tar or black paint to
"conceal" the white stuff, I'm sure it's possible to see what was rendered. Curiosity will probably
drag me up there to check it out.

You live in the land of Religious Zealotism.
What was the art of - a piece of the human anatomy right? Big deal.
People have penises and vaginas, but they can't talk about them, see them. What a bunch of idiots.

Don't forget -- this is also the land of funny underwear. And that canyon is where they have the
church geneological records buried in the granite mountain -- if the faithful workers there happen
to see gonads on the road they could faint and crash.

Yeah, I was in the race. I thought it was amusing myself--little Utah trying to emulate the Tour.
They organizers announced afterwards that the city was going to revoke their license if it happened
again--no more Snowbird hill climb. On my ride down the police and about 10 UDOT crew were holding
up traffic to frantically get the rode clean, like it was some kind of emergency. Maybe I just have
loose standards when it comes to pavement, but I don't see what all the huff was about.

They actually covered it up pretty good. I drove up there today (to take a hike), admired the
brand-new asphalt, and couldn't really make out much. But the giant penii were hard to miss. I've
penciled in a ride of the canyon for this week.

What city? It's a county road. No, don't tell me... Is the great Nancy Workman taking on bikers now?

I wonder how much Ashcroft has spent covering up statues in and around the
Justice Dept. that have, ya know, nekkidness. The first one was about $5000.

From the SLWeekly:
"Most everyone I know has a good Widow's story--like the time Judy plucked the Temple garments from
the plumbing. Some honorable citizen didn't want his date to know he was already taken, so he tried
to dispose of the evidence, flooding her club." (obituary for Judy Foote, once proprietor of The
Widow McCoy, once a bar in SLC. For those cultural ignoramouses, Temple garments are handed out at
weddin' time.)
I knew Utah was a bit deprived, but if that's what passes for cultural deviancy ...

You might want to read up on a certain Bishop Snow who was an acquaintance of Brigham Young. Oh, for
Kirghan, he didn't ride a bike...

Close but ... you must not smoke cigars.

For the still curious -
