So Smokey the bear has better access to divine inspiration than teh Mormon prophet

You know, he used it to angle into something stupid, and he's not a prophet my any means, but Monson actually spins a good yarn. His use of expression and tone (when he's on his game) is quite good.

i dont get what abraham not knifing his son based on a hallucination has to do with setting a brush fire.

Dammit I need to quit passing out for 10 minutes at a time.

What are you drinking...lol

nothing. . . that's the problem

Blah bkah obey blah obey blahh blah OBEY!

I think he gets good laughs A.) in contrast to the other Borringtons and B.) he's the Prophet, we'd better laugh at his funny stuff!

In evidence of "B.)" , I once worked on a movie with Jim Carrey, and he'd goof around a bit, but instead of freindly chuckles, he got fawning guffaws. Same deal with TSM. you mileage may vary.

And his talk is all-new! "Pray, pay, and obey, and don't play with matches."

And we're really going short again.

I wonder if Monson just stops when he feels the dementia setting in.

Obedience, worthiness, tithing. That's all the speech was about.

Closing prayer was trying to fill time I think.
