Fine, I had a relatively low debt burden out of med school, and the interest rate was also low. I could have paid it off sooner, but I didn't wanna. Alright?"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I have around 60k I loan debt with an interest rate of under 4%. I won’t accelerate payment on those loans, but I split excess funds (dividends, bonuses, interest) 40/40/20 (higher interest student debt/college fund for kids/savings)Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

This could probably go in a few threads. But Eric Snider was sort of famous for a few years at BYU. And then he had some notoriety at the Herald, something about ginning up a story with his friend. He's basically been an online freelance journalist ever since.
His latest Snide Remarks column talks about being gay at BYU and beyond:

I've always enjoyed his writing. He does a really good job with this one."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

I loved Snide Remarks. It was the best thing in the DU in the late 90s. The second best thing was letters to the editor the issue after SR was published each week.
That was a good column. I'm happy for Eric. Sounds like he is in a very good place and selfishly I'm happy he found that place as a believer, even if that is not the easiest thing for a gay mormon to be.

I’m totally one of those people who stopped him randomly and said “Hey you’re Eric Snider. Your column is great!”

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Was also a big fan of Snide Remarks. Loved his review of "Titanic".
I followed him on Twitter for a while but he retweeted way too much."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I'm glad he found a good place for himself. I also appreciate that he isn't holding it out as the right decision for other individuals that are homosexual and LDS.
I was also a big fan of his writing at BYU. He is a funny guy.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
