So, where do YOU live?

Uisce and Spacey live in the shadow of a frozen penis. NTTAWWT. Opinions vary on the origin of the name Wasatch. In Southern Paiutes: Legends, Lore, Language and Lineage, author LaVan Martineau recounts the origins of Wasatch told to him by Utes he interviewed:
"The Utes told me what the word 'Wasatch' means. They said that one time many Indians lived there between Heber and Provo. One day the men were out hunting when a big blizzard came up and they lost one of the hunters. When they found him he was dead and his penis was frozen stiff. They therefore called the place Wuhu' Seai Frozen Penis. Francis McKinley, a Ute Indian Chief, tells the same story." [2]

On a related note.... The term Idaho comes from the ancient Chinese fortune cookie saying, "may a frozen penis protrude upwards through your southern-most region". |

Actually, Idaho comes from the Nez Pierce language. Translated it means: "Walking in the footsteps of our governmental forefathers by screwing everyone we can." |

When can we expect the petition to ban the name?
In case someone mistakes it for a frozen cocktail or something.

I've already asked about "FRZNPN0R" on my license plate. They said no.

Totally different. One's about alcohol. They know squat about alcohol. Penises though... they know penises. |

So, let me get this straight. These dudes are out grocery shopping. Get caught in a snow storm. One dude says "What happened to Fred?" And the other dude says "Oh, he's over by that tree, dead." "Just to make sure, I checked to see if his *8==>* was frozen."
I guess being that thorough, would not have occurred to me.

The frozen guy was simply called Richard or maybe just *8==>*, they were assimilated fast. The rest is simply a lost in translation thing(y). |
