Hey, was wondering if anyone else gets those nice, friendly daily quasi-newsletter event update / advertising e-mails from Deseret Book / LDSLiving Inc.
If so, have you noticed the past couple days an ad for a store called Dressed In White with the following title: NOW OPEN IN THE NEGATE MALL IN OGDEN.
Call me stupid, but isn't that perhaps the dumbest name you've ever heard of for a mall?
Dude, let's go down and veg at the Negate...
(alas, I know, it is a typo for Newgate Mall... just seems no one proofed the ad before sending it out )

I always thought it was weird that Utah has a supermarket chain named "Reams". I don't know if the phrase is popular in Utah, but "to get reamed" means that you've been cheated, or charged way too much, or something along those lines. The funny thing is that they were expensive, compared to some other supermarkets.

It's simply the name of the family that owns/ed the store. Unfortunate name for a retail establishment, to be sure, but apparently most Utah homemakers are as vocabularily challenged as the family, cause they've been in business forever.
And Arbi, my assessment of their prices was not that they were the most expensive. But they weren't the cheapest either. I just couldn't stand to shop in the little dark cramped store on Provo's center street.
Well, it appears that the publishers of those e-mails decided to fix their misspelled word. The ad now reads Newgate... I guess we'll need to find something else to find humor about at their expense.

My greenie trainer told me a story about a date he went on with a non-member girl. At one point she started massaging his forehead, feeling around his hairline. He asked what she was doing, and she said that she was looking for his horns. Her minister had told her that all mormons have horns.

Wow, she must have really been putting her self at risk of hellfire and brimstone then for going out with a Mormon then... He didn't try to sell you any swampland in Florida as well, did he? I had a companion who liked to tell me tall tales... like that in some poor South American countries the toilet paper was only a single sheet with a big hole in the middle of the sheet and that it was used by draping it over a finger and... well... ahem... He had fun with my naivete...
