Much Ado About Dumpsters

867

Ya know, the other day, I had my first call from the 867 area. As I typed in the area code, I wondered how true to GK's tales this call would be...


I feel for you GK.

[smileyeagle1021]

...of myself. Not him.

can't you do a picture of both of you in dresses

oh and yes, you can mine salt... after Mormonism, salt is one of Utah's biggest exports.

None of my dresses fit him. (I'm 112 lbs, and he's 260. Now, guess who fits in the size 2 dress. )

I didn't know Utah exports salt. That's kinda cool.

Yes, infact you can mine salt. There are some salt mines in the Western USA, and there are some in Poland. I know there are more, but those are the mines I can think of off hte top of my head.

The salt deposits are the remnants of ancient inland seas.

I think I remember seeing a National Geographic article on the salt mine in Poland. Over the years the salt miners had carved a church out of salt in the mine.

Also some salt mines in Western NY State, one I have seen in person is outside Geneseo NY

I like how pretty much this entire thread has dissolved into a discussion about salt. Way to go GK. Find a topic about something that is mined, shiny, and delicous for us to fixate on.

I like salt.... Kosher and Pretsel is the best.

[Igorina]

Maybe we all just want salt licks?

I brought saltines with me to work in my lunch today. They go quite nicely with my salty tuna dip.

[Igorina]

Smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich for me.

And to be honest, at least we're commenting on the salt mining aspect as opposed to relating stories about our experiences involving our feelings and actions towards our favorite dumpsters.

Right?

[Evil Queen]

Maybe we should tell our favourite salt stories?

Once upon a time....

[Igorina]

Once upon a time....

And this one time, in Band Camp....

Dear Mineral Fancier's Forum, I never thought this would happen to me....

No kidding, there I was.....

[NightWatch]

Been there, pretty boring.

Actually, it wasn't long ago when...

Once, I.....

The last time I went to....

I think GK was unsure as to whether that specific SC was capable of mining, not whether it was a possible method of extraction And I saw a televised travelogue of the salt church - it is totally awesome.

Now for the bad news - to GK's fandom at least.

I realize that despite appearing to be concerned about the salt itself, you are all just really hankering to be dubbed one of Dark Lord GK's minions. Fine and dandy, but get in line. I had the foresight to screen name myself "Salt Mine Slave 001" AGES ago. bwahhhahhhhahhh!

I shall be as Wormtongue to his Saruman, Hubbard to his Xenu, Ratbat to his Megatron!!!

And when we have subjugated the largest per-capita consumer of salt on the earth, nothing shall stand before us.
