Care for some Caffeine?

[Sleeping in EQ]

So, mostly because the entire line from Carrie Jenkins in the various statements is pure, refined, crystalline and smokable bullshit, I'm happy to see somebody going after the administration on this. It's a completely ridiculous thing, this crusade, but it makes me proud of the current crop of students for some reason. And I don't even drink caffeine that much.

Of course, but let historians...err...future excommunicants make this point. Right now, we need to let the higher ups save face. If they can't save face they'll become so constipated they'll take away our hot chocolate.

No kidding. They need to fire her and find someone who can lie with a little more panache and creativity. That was embarrassing.

Yes, especially when it could be easily determined if there is demand for caffeinated soft drinks by simply adding some of them and letting the market decide.

Also, it is not surprising to me that Skyler Thiot is from Dallas. Folks from here are not afraid to call someone on their BS.

Dining Services, you have been thrown under the bus. It isn't personal, it's just the Wilkinson Wall coming down.

The Dining Services folks in Rexburg must be holed up in a bunker.

If they allow caffeine what's next? Beards? Long hair? Dates going past midnight? I think they are being smart to keep caffeine away

Can my kids still go to BYU if they don't attend seminary or church?

Some of the quotes in that article prove the stupidity of Mormons when it comes to the word of wisdom. That the director of dining services would get emails by students on both sides of the issue and that the student who started the fb page would get calls from fellow students saying that he was disloyal and disobedient is just flat out ridiculous. And we Mormons wonder why others think we're weird.

Yep. What reason would the Students give for saying this is disobedient? If the church said caffeine is okay, do they think it is a sin to request that BYU serve approved beverages? Ironically, I think the issue is that they don't want to believe the church statement. They should direct their complaints to church headquarters.

Yes, but they may have to pay non-LDS tuition.

No hot chocolate, no tithing payment. Enough is enough. Danish Beer! Danish Beer!

they should probably direct their complaints to their parents because that is basically who makes the caffeine decision for you growing up.

BYU accidentally puts caffeinated Coke in vending machines, which results in a run on the machine selling out immediately. Carrie Jenkins clarifies this was mistake by the vendors and the purchasing decisions have not changed. Previously she said BYU didn't sell caffeine not due to policy but due to their vendors perceiving lack of demand.

I wonder if this is normal economic behavior. Company accidentally changes product offering. New product sells like crazy. Company offers apology, discontinues product, and reconfirms the lack of demand for the product.

One more in a long series of whoppers for Carrie Jenkins. She is our very own Bagdad Bob.

To be fair, she has been given a pretty much impossible assignment, so it's hard to know where the institutional incompetence ends and her own incompetence begins. But I agree that her body of work--going back at least to the controversy over the Rodin exhibit--is impressive.

She needs to start by not lying.

Someone is obviously a student of my posts.
