I suspect you're right. It's sill going to haunt my nightmares. Never say die!
Grahame Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Utah is poised to adopt the classic Browning M1911 semi-automatic as its official "state gun", in honour of native John Browning who invented the weapon in 1911. The proposal to add the M1911 to Utah's roster of approved symbols, including state cooking pot and state folk dance*, "breezed" through a House Political Subdivisions Committee hearing this week, and will now go before the full Utah House for a final vote. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/26/utah_browning/
Salt Peanuts Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Wait, Utah has a state cooking pot?
Grahame Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Wait, Utah has a state cooking pot? Indeed In 1997, the Utah State Legislature approved H.B. 203, designating the Dutch Oven as the State Cooking Pot (Utah Code). The following information was generously sent to the Utah State Library by the International Dutch Oven Society located in Logan, Utah. Utah is not only the headquarters of the Society but the site of World Championship Dutch Oven Cookoff which is a major event of the Festival of the American West. http://pioneer.utah.gov/research/utah_symbols/cooking.html The cast iron dutch oven is also the State Cooking Implement of Texas.

Woo: "Yeah, well, originally we were going to do it as a comedy, and instead of a two-way trade happening, it was going to be a three-way trade, and people would lose track of whose face was whose, and hijinks would happen, and then the lulz. We were trying to channel very Bob Hope and Bing Crosby."

Dreadhead Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 i sincerely doubt that declaring something a state whatever costs very much money. Lets see: 3 hours of some flunky to draft resolution ($100) 1 hour of house floor debate $10000 (lets say 100 members * $100/hr per member of the house) + + + not saying they would not have found something else inane to do during those hours but just saying.
Dreadhead Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) state representatives don't typically get paid very much, and i don't think they are typically paid hourly for time on the floor. Doesn't matter if they get paid hourly or not. Salaried people have an hourly cost just like everyone else. That said you have a point and I appear to have overestimated the salary by a lot and the cost of an hour is more like $1000( http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Utah_House_of_Representatives) Edited January 27, 2011 by Dreadhead
