This pic is a little dark, because it's a sign in a bar that reads: party like your "not" in Utah.Leaving the wrong your aside for now, I want to know what it means to party like you're "not" in Utah, if you are, but pretending you aren't, or pretending to pretend, since it's only in quotation marks. Thanks, Patrick.

Parts of Utah are dry (no alcohol allowed) so actually the quotes work.
I'm not sure how that makes the quotes work. Are you saying the wet parts of Utah are "not" Utah?
So, my guess is: Yes, you may be able to get alcohol here, but remember where you REALLY are....
Well - depending on exactly where the message is posted, you may be partying like you're "not" in Utah. "Not" in Utah partying might be a possibility in , say, a juice "bar" or a soda fountain.
I think bethany and toep have it. You can try to party like you're _not_ in Utah, but if you step outside this building, you'll be in real Utah fast enough.
scyllacat: precisely!
I live not far from this bar, the Canyon Inn at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon, and each time we've gone in, we can hardly stand the incorrect "your" - and it's repeated multiple times throughout the place: back of the taps, over the big screen, posters on the bathroom doors ... I hadn't even noticed the quotation marks what with my dismay over the "your."
