SLC Underground

Published by phin, 2015-06-26 09:55:31

Description: Consider this a VERY unofficial tour of Salt Lake City. We assume you have already heard a good piece of the standard version of Utah and Salt Lake City so we feel no need to be balanced in our approach.

Travelers on the London Underground are advised to "mind the gap." This "underground" tour of Salt Lake explores the "gap" between the Salt Lake of travel brochures and the even stranger, very local Salt Lake that has found a way to thrive in the shadow of the dominant culture of Utah.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, we are not physically going underground to the tunnels of Salt Lake, or the sewers, or the catacombs. Our “underground” tour is completely above ground if not entirely above board. Lighten up, have some fun, and don’t take anything we say too, too seriously.

Answer!Key:!Mormon!or!Episcopalian?!!You#took#the#quiz.#How#did#you#do?#And,#who#cares?#Well,#answers#anyway.#By#the#way,#where#are#the#women?#!1. Jerry Garcia – Episcopalian, Catholic, Urantian, Ben & Jerry’s inspiration.2. Ken Jennings, Jeapardy! Champion – Looks Mormon, is Mormon.3. Butch Cassidy – likely Mormon. “I steal their money just to hear them holler. Then I pass it out among those who really need it.” Prionsias Cassidy, Irish vampire character in Preacher comic book series is Anglican. We all got bad guys.4. Philo T. Farnsworth – invented television so we can watch the LDS conference all weekend. Philo’s stature is in the Utah Capitol.5. Roseanne Barr and Brent Scowcroft? There is no reason for them to be listed together other than they are both Mormon.6. John McCain – Episcopalian, along with Thomas Jefferson, Barry Goldwater, Zachary Taylor, and on and on and on.7. Eldridge Cleaver – Mormon.8. Elizabeth Tudor’s pop, Henry VIII, might have liked Joseph Smith.9. Golfers Billy Casper and Johnny Miller – They would make a good pair of missionaries.10. Batman – Episcopalian, along with The Invisible Woman (Christmas and Easter only). Superman is Methodist, The Hulk a lapsed Catholic.

11. You thought Garrison was Lutheran. Gotcha! He’s Episcopalian.12. Gladys Knight and the Pips - Not sure about The Pips but Gladys is definitely Mo-town and Mormon! Natalie Cole is Episcopalian.13. Billy Barty – Three feet and nine inches of pure, wisecracking Mormon.14. Buzz Aldrin. Episcopalian or Presbyterian (some dispute). Had communion on the moon. Buzz Lightyear, however, is rumored to be a Sikh as the Star Command logo looks remarkably like the Khanda symbol of Sikhism.15. Michael Jackson – Episcopalian.16. Jack Dempsey – baptized Mormon in 1903. Middleweight champion of the world, Gene Fullmer, also Mormon, lived his life by the “Word of Wisdom” as Mormons refer to the Doctrine and Covenants scripture they consider sacred.17. Douglas Adams – devout Anglican, then agnostic, then atheist. What’s next?18. Orson Scott Card, sci-fi author, is a great-great-grandson of Brigham Young.19. All those judges…Mormon or Episcopalian? Guess!20. Mick is Catholic but Dean Jagger, who won an Oscar for Twelve O’Clock High (1949) was Mormon.21. Robin Gibbs from the Bee Gees – sorry, just Vegan.!!
