So on curiosity I purchased by first Playboy magazine a couple weeks back. It was the "Girls of the Big Ten" issue. The porn, while interesting, wasn't as good as watching videos on TV.

However, there was a wonderful article about Raman noodles and how to cheaply spice them up. Tip one, use spices. Other tips were simple ideas, like adding spinach, or diced spam. I made some with spinach and portobello mushrooms tonight. It was awesome, and the diced mushrooms picked up the flavor of the broth. My mission would have been so much more survivable had I had this guide available to me back then.

And then there's this priceless piece of data, stored in manuscripts in the Harold B. Lee Library (L. Tom Perry Special Collections).

Is it Urban Myth or true fact? You decide:

A 1977 Playboy survey rated BYU coeds the second hottest girls in the country (second only to UCLA southern California girls).

That's because of all the hot Mormon girls from Southern California.

And all the Scandinavian stock. Seriously.

...and, in my opinion, the dress and grooming standards, the Word of Wisdom, and the fact that everyone there is trying to find a marriage partner, so they are far more likely to be concerned with their looks, weight, mode of dress, etc. I always thought BYU had a disproportionate number of good-looking men and women. I still do.

That's also because the "sweet spirits" get into better schools, because they're focusing on their education, & not on getting hitched.

Second biggest lie told by men in general:
"I get Playboy for the articles."

I haven't looked into a copy lately but in my day I recall the
typical issue of Playboy having about 12 pages of nude women and
about 188 pages of articles, etc. If all you care about is pics
of nude women you are being ripped off.

Agreed, and Playboy is the source of some of the best writing. Many, many amazing writers got their start by getting published in Playboy. I'd be honored to be published in Playboy.

"I'd be honored to be published in Playboy."

As a writer, or as a centerfold?

JK. ;-)

Either one, actually, although I'd be far more likely to be published in there as a writer. Unless anyone here recalls seeing an A-cup featured in Playboy. I'm thinking "not bloody likely."

OMFG...I'm suddenly reminded of a total bullshit faith promotion story from a former Sunday school teacher.

He said that when he was in high school in the late '60s (Bay Area), that he was asked to join this special elite debate & current affairs club at the school. Except, he had to decline because one of the magazines they read from & debated about was Playboy. I was like why didn't you just get rid of the photos if they were so offensive. Also, I didn't believe for 1 second that the school admin would legally allow them to have copies of Playboy for this school club, despite the fact that it is a serious magazine.

Gather round for the ultimate noodle upgrade

Instead of water for the noodles, use a 6 oz can of pineapple juice with a couple or 3 tablespoons of (your choice) Yoshida original or any other stir fry sauce.
Add one tsp peanut butter and a few shakes of pizza spice. Bring those ingredents to boiling and pour over the noodles. Let them soak for about 3 minutes while you raid the fridge for interesting stuff to add. (onions, celery, carrots, cabbage, leftover meat,.....you get the idea....)
Combine vegies, meat and noodles together and boil and stir til all liquid absorbs/evaporates. Add a handful of nuts of your choice and enjoy.

hint: you would willingly pay big bucks for this in a good Asian restaurant.

I'll choose Seth Fornea's. Yum, indeed.

MY wife throws away the noodles and uses angel hair pasta with the spice packets. You can also add tomato sauce to that mix.

If experience is any indicator, it was in a ziploc baggie inside the toilet bowl tank, or taped under the bathroom counter.

What? ;)

Last week in Orem Walmart saw girl practically nAked. She were hot and trying to make a significant statement. I don't know if she was BYU. But I'm still fixated on her image....

I go to the checkout line at Walmart, and I have to stand in line behind gorgeous college aged girls in bikinis, most of the year. I love living in a beach town.

I go to walmart and all I see is this kind of stuff: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

After an hour of 'look, but can't touch', I find the Playboy Interview...Good stuff.

My favorite centerfold was Nancy Sinatra. I always had the hots for her; ever since she sang 'Boots'...

In my first location, where we lived in a basement apartment of gentiles, the Playboys were in a box in the laundry/storage area.

Yes I buy Playboy for the articles, recipes, etc. too. Wink Wink.

We were encouraged NOT to eat ramen noodles in our mission in Japan. We didn't of course, because, spaghetti and rice are sooooo much better for you.

Huh, the advice I always got was to not eat the soup, so much sodium...
