At least the old goofy one. (There was a lot to be learnt there. I was disturbed that in the second series Worf's head kept growing larger with each new season.)

She is. There's no way around that one. All of us here know that that's the case. What Mormons do best is gossip and talk smack about non-Mormons, particularly if they're pursuing your daughter. I'd run away from the family, then keep my distance. Every now and again you can wave to her from the other side of the football stadium or something. BTW, stake dances didn't used to be that way.

Yer fer 'em or yer agin 'em. And yer agin 'em if you harbour a differing opinion. I think that Mormons in general are thin-skinned twits.

I think that the myth was introduced to make it more mysterious or something. This is also another error passed on by the great prophet Joseph Smith, who taught that the Masonic hokum came from Solomon's temple. Didn't we even just have Donny Osmond say the same thing on the Joy Behar show?

...what guy in his right mind wants a frumpy woman? It's a man-driven church, after all, yet full of the kind of women that men aren't drawn to by nature. (I do think you're right that women are pushed down into subservience. But different women react in different ways.)

On my mission in the 1960's we'd sneak up on a fellow missionary and grab the back of his shirt at the small of the back and pull up on the big elastic panel above the butt flap. That would have the effect of yanking the crotch cup up into the guy's crack. It was actually pretty painful. Good times. Another one, when we were walking around the apartment only in our garments, was to grab one of

People who post here would no doubt love to have a guru, someone who can easily validate the way we feel.

It was very rough indeed, and I understand what you went through. I had this male cat for 19 years and often fell asleep to his gravelly purr. I continue to tear up just thinking about him. Strange, how we can get so attached so some little non-human. When I give it serious thought, I just don't get it. I'm happy you're getting another cat. I'm thinking of the same, but have a 16 year-old fema

Since I personally love dogs, I'll accept doggies as an answer. But not all dogs. No pugs. And no Boston terriers--especially no Boston terriers. Chihuahuas and labradoodles get 50% credit. Dachshunds get 75% credit unless cast in the "wiener dog" category, in which they get the customary 100%. You get extra credit, however, for Welsh corgis, either variety (this answer is influenced by

I lay the blame on the majority of them thinking they have to be and then expecting themselves and others to be. I've known some pretty fashionable Mormon women who stand out in contrast to the denim jumper crowd.

Of course, we'll all need tickets. Whose gonna do that for us? And how will we react when the SWAT team is called by the Team of Fifteen (now known as EPMs--"enlarged prostate Mormons")? And do we have the necessary legal counsel to handle the charges of THGSMP (Trespassing on Holy Great and Spacious Mormon Properties)? I'm only trying to plan ahead. Count me in.

I would be forced to say (then regret afterward) something like, "I dunno. It's just fun to kick people around when they're suffering from terminal stupidity." Mormons, in fact, have a particular liking for martyrdom while at the same time loving to complain. It becomes part of the persona of a good Mormon. I say take advantage of them. Try to show them that no one likes a whiner unl

"The second stake in a Muslim country!!" Well, "Muslim" is just a word. Here it's "Islam-lite," like Italian Catholics. It's almost not fair to call them Muslims.

//My report below// Tomorrow Jakarta is getting its first stake, and David A. "Shorty" Bednar is in town to kick it off. I was just going to do the usual weekend stuff (nothing), but maybe I should be putting on a shirt and going there to see him. Maybe I can get his ire by not wearing a tie or proper shoes. Maybe I'd have an opportunity to shake us hand and then say something rude.
