    And folks, I have something else on my mind -- the SpeakEasy. As some of you might know, I had really hoped to be able to participate in the SE the last time a friend nominated me for admission. I was genuinely hurt when things didn't break my way, and a couple of people mentioned offhandedly that the vote was very close. I'm sure they meant to help.

    Wait a minute. There's a SpeakEasy?

      Yes. And the first rule of Speak Easy is to bring it up just often enough so that those that are not "members" are aware of it.

        The idea that some hot Iranian chick on the other side of the world put two seconds of thought into my relationship with IPU is simply... awesome.

            Personally, I'd go with longer pants.
            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              In fairness to you Robin, I think we have all had some nasty drag down knock out fights with Babs.

                My thoughts exactly.

                Well, that and what the hell is a speakeasy?

                  Umm, isn't a neutral party by definition one that doesn't object, but doesn't affirm either? So, saying "if neutral parties don't object" is like saying "if the sun rises in the East". As soon as a party either objects or affirms they are no longer neutral now are they?

                    Nailed me! Maybe IPU is referring to my rhetorical skills when he calls me a 'cancer.' Like Samuel the Lamanite on the wall, "People of CUF! Robin's post hoc arguments and hasty generalizations are a cancer that we can not abide! He continually confuses cause with effect, and surely lives on a diet of red herrings and straw men. To accept him as part of the CUF family would be one slippery slope... DOH!"

                      Robin, did you ever introduce your boy to D&D?

                        I'm interested, and so is Little Robin, but playing D&D requires willing friends, and Little Robin's friends are way too cool for D&D. Maybe once we move out of the 'hood we will find kids who are sufficiently nerdy.
