When I was a kid....

[notajeep]

When I was a kid my father always told me that if I wasn't good and didn't study and stuff like that. That I would end up working at millers my whole life. (Millers is a meat processing plant south of Logan in Hyrum that smells. They kill and butcher cows all day.)
At other times growing up I heard my father use the term S.O.L. When I was young i asked him what this meant. He said that it stood for South Of Logan.Now me, knowing that Millers was south of logan figured out that this was not a good thing. So if you were SOL that meant that you were going to be working at millers the rest of your life, or rather just a metafor (SP) for something bad.
When I was 19, I entered the MTC (Thats the Missionary training center, for all you heathens) and I heard some one else use the term S.O.L. To date, a term I had only ever heard my father use. Now, i knew that this person was from another state and I could not figure out how in the world he knew about Millers and having to work there for the rest of your life. So I asked him if knew my father and where he knew the that term from. So he explained what S.O.L. really meant.
Needless to say, I was a little dissapointed.
That is all.

Well, that's random

In that case, your father probably used the term B.F.E. as well, which could be used in reference to Hyrum.

Your grammar would be made fun of on the internet?

 

[RockMonkey]

Holy crap I can't believe you haven't heard the term SOL since you were a kid...

Never realized how many extended family work at Millers, I guess it could be worse they could be out at Weathershield. :wtf:

(and yes I grew up south of Logan). :greg:

I'm going to assume this was meant in good fun, but think about how sheltered you are if you haven't heard the term SOL from more than two people in your life. I don't appreciate being called a heathen anymore than you would.

 

[Meat_]

<-- heathen

 

[Kiel]

<-- heathen

I think of you as more of a caveman

All in good fun my friend.

And to clarify.... I have heard the term plenty now. It was just up to that point in my life the only people I had heard use it were my father and people that knew him. Who were all from cache valley and knew what was south of Logan.
