  Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
Hey Utah Legomaniacs, Here's a list of nominations so far on what to call ourselves. If you want more into the mix, please reply to this message. Let's cast votes on, say, sometime Wednesday? From Ashley Glennon: NUTLUG (Northern Utah Lego Users (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) As an outsider, I'd recommend against this one -- Wasatch doesn't mean anything to me, and if I had to guess, I'd probably think "some strange and fabled mountain creature related to the Yeti" before I'd think "somewhere in Utah". That may not (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) I'll second this one. Matthew Miller makes a good point about Wasatch not being a term that outside visitors would recognize. Plus GULL makes for a cute inside joke, though I don't usually go for that kind of thing(1). PLEASE let's vote on (...)

  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) Then maybe it's time to fix that, neh? :-, I had no idea what "Bay Area" was until I came to the States...then I discovered it referred to the San Francisco Bay area...then I discovered it really depended upon which bay you were closest to.

  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) Hm, what areas are known as "the Bay Area"? I've only ever associated it with the SF area, and I've only lived on the East coast. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) Galveston, TX was the biggie for me. But then, everyone in the Houston area thinks the world revolves around Houston... :-P Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)

(...) I vote for WAFOL. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) I'm currently in the Houston area (after leaving the SLC area), and I don't think the world revolves around Houston. I can't say I'd be horribly bothered if a hurricane took the Houston area off the face of the planet, along with another city (...)

  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name voting
 
(...) I prolly don't count (see my last post in the nominations thread) but I like Waffle...I mean WAFOL ^_^ Kya (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  More Utah Legomaniacs group name voting
 
I vote for WAFOL as well. My absolute favorite is SLLUG but if you folks think it's difficult to use because the "Linuxers" have the .org version, ok. I decided NUTLUG was,...well, too nutty. Do we have a majority now? On our website we will need to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) Heretic! :-, (...) What kind of factors would affect your decision? i.e. Would you rathe rlive in an apartment in the Houston area instead of the SLC area? I've always kinda liked Austin myself, I might eventually retire near there and work (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
 
  It's WAFOL! (Was: More Utah Legomaniacs group name voting)
 
(...) Looks like we have a unanimous vote for WAFOL. (...) I think that'd be cool. I've been doing some research on the woed, but the most I've been able to come up with is that it's the mountain range along the east side of the Great Salt Lake, and (...)

  Re: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations
 
(...) Ah, well, I'm guessing apartment, but it all depends on if I can even afford it, my dad says it'll cost, what was it, something disgusting like 1300 a month for a 500/mo apartment plus living expenses, I think he's out of his mind, but oh (...)

  Cost of living (Was: Utah Legomaniacs group name nominations)
 
(...) I did better than that for a couple of years, but not by much. Rent was ~ $300 a month (no way in hell I'm living there again though), about the same for food (I figure ~10 per day, but I worked in the school cafeteria). Add travel expenses (...)
