    Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      The entertainment value of this thread has improved dramatically from the vacuum cleaner discussion of earlier.

      • Today I learned that it's perfectly normal to turn to the girl sitting next to you in Sunday School, ask her to hold your cell phone, and then say, "put your number in please." And that it's perfectly normal to do this despite not even knowing the girl.

            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.

                    Indeed, and I can't but wonder how correlation is so virtuous when things like this happen when it is on watch. Of course, part of the problem is that the LDS Church's tight, centralized, overly simplified correlation actually fosters teacher tantrums, resentment, and gossip. It fosters threads like this one.

                    In a less correlated church, the artificial politeness and cookie-cutter answers can give way to healthy dialogue. We can be reasonably open, but respectful, about different views. We can open the window and air out some ward-level vendettas. We can be more agreeable in our disagreements.

                    In short, we can grow up.
                    We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

                      It was really just a joke.

                        I've been around a long time, and I have yet to witness a "teacher tantrum." Great phrase, though.

                          So true.
                          "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

                            One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                              That's a great thread. It brings back a lot of great memories.


                              P.S. I was on a roll back then.
