Had a great time at the conference in Utah last week.

 

[Farm Boy]

Crazy wild Mormon parties?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

A bit of that. Is it just me or are the majority of Mormons blonde haired and blue eyed?

Utah also has (from what I saw) comparatively less African Americans than Missouri but many more Hispanics.

There's some pretty nasty historical baggage with Mormons and people of color. That takes a while to breed out/die out. Proximity to the boarder probably accelerates the Hispanic influence?

 

[cybrxkhan]

I had a Mormon friend from grade school who was blond and blue eyed. Granted, he's Scandinavian (Swedish, I believe), but hey.

 

[madviking]

You are really tone-deaf if you can't hear the difference between Mordor and Murder.

Hawaii has a suprising amount of mormons

Like 5% of the state in some surveys (us about 1-1.5% mormon maybe)

And that demographic is a mix of japan/polynesia/philipino

What is wasian? I assume the obvious but what distinguishes it from just "suburban middle class"

Isn't "wasian" just "white/asian?"

 

[cybrxkhan]

Isn't "wasian" just "white/asian?"

Yeah, it's just a term for a person of mixed Asian (usually east or southeast Asian, at least from my experience) and Caucasian ancestry.

 

[Takhisis]

So it's not 'West Asian', then?

 

[cybrxkhan]

So it's not 'West Asian', then?

Never heard it used that way.

 

[Takhisis]

I was just asking. Of course, Eastasia's where the money's at, anyway, and why we've been at war with them all this time.

Rave: 'elbow porn' has made it into urbandictionary.

 

[bhsup]

Dare i ask what that is?

 

[Kennigit]

Urbandictionary is a world wide web address that posts humourous "slang" or made up words/phrases with correspondingly "funny" definitions, attributes, and illustrative example usage, analagous to what a dictionary may contain

Hope that clears it up!

I feel like I was just transported to an Airplane movie and had a conversation with Leslie Nielson.

 

[choxorn]

What's a Leslie Nielson?

 

[bhsup]

It's a tall, strapping actor that switched from dramatic to comedic acting, but that's not important now.
