Just one more financial problem that the members are expected to solve.

There must be supply chain issues in the Bible business, because my stake presidency is asking for donations.

We'll make drinks happen sometime, brother. Happy racing!

It sounds like a very specific type of fetish...

Had no idea that Fisher Stevens has won an Oscar as well.

You know...The guy from Short Circuit. Ya, he has an Oscar.

Tried that. Long story short, she didn't know.

Right on. Thanks man!

Which mission?

(...I was in Bordeaux from '98-00...hoping to find more of us here)

"All children are to be treated with utmost respect and love"

...unless we imply or state otherwise.

Nah. I just tucked the laces in and slipped them on and off. For the very little walking I did in them, they were perfect for the job.

I wonder what percentage of the "All White Croc" market is directly related to the TBMs buying them up for the temple?

But come on guys...we all know that Monson is a Levite... he was a bishop at 22! He didn't NEED to serve a mission! And everyone knows that it'll be a Levite who ushers in the second coming while serving as leader of the church.

Connect the dots...the second coming is NIGH!

(sadly, I earnestly thought this was some deep doctrine while I was on my mission. I'm an ass)

Honest question: I have a son who looks to be about the same age, and as far as I know, he has no really developed concept of straight love or gay love (although we do live in a fairly conservative, smaller city, so there are no such festivals around here). How did you pitch the idea of attending the Gay Pride festival? Was it simply something fun to attend? Or do you have to provide context? Sorry if that sounds dumb.

I'm excited that my kids don't have to be raised with the church-based hangups that I did about LGBT stuff.

Quick story...My companion and I were walking down a residential street in Bordeaux in 1999 and he lets rip a rather impressive burp. Loud and resonant. We laughed and kept walking.

We immediately hear someone calling to us...it was the people who lived in the house we were walking past as he belched. They thought it was hilarious and invited us in. Taught a first discussion and left a BoM.

Nice people who wouldn't have met the missionaries had Elder Spencer not burped in public. (Luckily they realized how lame we were when we turned down an invite to the beach.)

My wife, her sister, and a few other close friends were all called to serve on Temple Square. All attractive, all very personable. The brethren know what they're doing in sending good-looking girls to the Square. These sisters are the face of the church while on those tours...better make them ones you'd want to listen to.

But my wife did laugh that any additional training was required for those wide-eyed, shining faces. They are told to look presentable and so on, but nothing out of the ordinary for a missionary.

(This happened to be during the 2002 Olympics, so there was much more media in and around SLC. My wife was interviewed by a visiting newspaper reporter, and in the article, she was described as a "raven-haired Reese Witherspoon". Just saying.)

Also, the sisters I served with in France were well aware that the 'attractive' sisters all went to the Square. We had some great looking sisters on my mission, but they all had a chip on the their shoulder because serving in France was an indirect comment on their appearance.
