If you are not a Utahn, please take note:
- The county seat of Millard County, Utah is the city of Fillmore. (Oh, clever!)
- The county seat of Beaver County, Utah is… the city of Beaver. (Unfortunately, the sign as you enter town says “Welcome to…” rather than “Now Entering….”)
- Utah also boasts a tiny town called Virgin (which, by the way, gained national attention in November 2000 when the town council passed an ordinance requiring a gun and ammunition in every home).
Anyway, now that we’re all clear on that:
I’ve decided that those three Utah towns should get together and become the focal point of a dynamite tourism campaign. The following re-creation of a bumper sticker I saw a couple weeks ago illustrates the concept:
If it were up to me though, Utah would have a town named Asshole Rosebud.

the irony is evident here in SC as well … we have local towns called “cowpens” & “sugartit”

I LOVE IT - LOVE IT - LOVE IT!
Of course the city of Rosebud would be near the rim of the canyon, perhaps between two buttes?

My favorite is still Intercourse, Pennsylvania. I’d like to get a flight from Virgin, UT to Intercourse, PA.
