In the 60+ years of my parents living in the SL Valley I think they've only been to and/or frequented three restaurants. Cowboy Grub is one of them. (Souper Salad and Mimi's being the other two). I can't imagine what they'll do with the impending Cowboy Grub downtime.Originally Posted by hostile

I discovered early on that mentioning Missouri, St. Louis as where you served was always a downer at parties when surrounded by missionaries who had gone to exotic places. The babes didn't exactly flock to hear my Show Me State Stories.
Do babes flock to hear any sort of mission stories? "This one time when I was tracting in the slums...?" I hung out with the wrong babes, apparently.Missouri, St. Louis

one of the more unrecognized reasons for serving a mission is to hopefully increase your attractiveness to the opposite sex. Like most things for the 18-21 year old male it all boils down to sex. Sure there are a multitide of other reasons why we opt for the 2 year Mormon Vacation, but the hope of hooking up in the future with a hot babe is high on the proirity list.
I do think serving a mission helped in whooing the ladies, but clearly I overestimated the bump I would get post mission. And I think mentioning that I went to Russia or Tahitia (instead of the Midwest) would have helped slightly
I always thought that the babes were more inclined toward the statesiders because there was less risk in contracting hepatitis or some parasite from making out with them?one of the more unrecognized reasons for serving a mission is to hopefully increase your attractiveness to the opposite sex.

I went to Guatemala and El Salvador. None of the women I dated cared. That may have been because my magnetic personality overwhelmed all other considerations.Missouri, St. Louis

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

It all starts with going to a place the location of which is known to the casual observer. Most people have only a vague idea of where most Latin American countries are. But I learned how to make guacamole!

Well if the number of people I met at USU who'd been back from their mission for 10 minutes and were getting married to a girl they'd met 5 minutes ago is a way to judge, missions can help
The first girl I dated after my mission told me to "stop being so churchy." She lived to regret that after some 20 years of marriage.

The only thing my brother brought back from his mission in England -- food wise -- was, put gravy on everything.

I used to joke that I had two strikes against me immediately amongst the institute crowd at the U. I went on a stateside mission and I went to Skyline High School (which was the favorite school to hate at the time). It was okay, the institute crowd of girls had similar strikes against them in my book because they were the institute crowd.Missouri, St. Louis

I think one of the most bizarre Utah culture things is to ask someone where they went to high school when they find out you are local. I think it is a weird way of finding out your economic status, but I still get people to this day who will say, "oh, Skyline?"
What's the economic stereotype of Skyline? The only thing I think of is dudes with blond tips.
In St Louis it's also a thing.

I think it used to be rich douchebag (only one was true for me). However I think Brighton has taken that title now.
