Ha. Wasn't aware of the copy-paste loophole. I just don't need more than one or two trib articles a month.

Edit: Doh! I just got the joke - 20 minute after my post.



Seeing as how Senior was my Stake President and I grew up in the neighborhood around David (a couple years older than me), Paul (my age), and James (a couple years younger than me, the one who was kidnapped and who is now doing his publicity stunt lawsuit), I would like to dispute the notion that all of Senior's male children are wankers or that money ruined them.

- Jr. - Wanker - He's a politician and by definition that makes him a wanker, although he's a wanker in his own right, not just because he's a politician.
- Peter - Not Wanker - Still runs the company and he does a good job of it, having worked his way up through the business since high school. Anyone that can successfully run a 6B business is going to rub some people the wrong way but that doesn't make them a wanker.
- David - Not Wanker. He is a good guy and is now an Area Seventy.
- Paul (the one that runs the Trib) - Unusure. I don't know as much about him these days even though he was closest to me in age. The Trib is, well, the Trib so there is wanker-potential there but I can't declare him a wanker without more evidence.
- James - Wanker. He's been a "free-spirit" doofus all his life. His forays into film were crap from the beginning and I would guess that he's squandered much of his inheritance on those failed endeavors over the years (although some allowance should be made for the fact that he got kidnapped as a teen. Not sure how much allowance to give but that can't have had zero effect on him)
- Mark - Not Wanker (he doesn't have accountability due to his condition)

Peter=Wanker. The things I know about him are outside of the church context, a nothing burger. But the disparity between who he is and who he represents himself to be places him solidly in the wanker category in my book.

I use the Outline browser plug in for sites with excessive banner ads or limited reads. When it works it strips out everything except the text. Here is the outline link from the sltrib article.

How do you guys all read the SL Trib? I can only read 3 articles per month, then it cost $150 per year.

I just click through the paywall (close the pop-up) and it always lets me read the articles.

Thank you for this. Good to know there is hope for some of these kids.

Can you proffer an assessment on (K)ristina? I knew her quite well in 1983. She was dating one of my roommates - and she and I would trade cars for days at a time - and she would set me up with dates from her friends. I joke that I lived with her - because she spent 90% of her nights under the same roof with me - and pretty much lived amongst us for the year that I lived there. We double dated - played tennis - and before she got her Saab - she would trade me her Dodge 4x4 for my RX-7 and I can admit to four wheeling in it often. She was really nice - but in a gentile kind of way - not really a stickler for BYU housing rules.

That bolded section takes on even more meaning in light of the next clause about BYU housing rules.

Nope - I didn't really know Christena. She was old enough that our high school and YM/YW years didn't overlap (I didn't start high school until 84)

EDIT: p.s. - if you were at BYU in 83 then that makes you an old geezer!

I heard the same from someone that lived in his ward for a time. He's a wanker.

I believe the Jews have a term for this - shiksa goddess.

Don't know if that is what I was alluding too - being more specific - she was a member of the faith - went to church on Sunday - but acting in ways not conducive with exact religious protocol - acting more gentile in that "late night wonder world" where pleasures are explored. She was a wild girl - not ready to settle down - and yet didn't ignore her heritage of Sacrament partaking on Sundays. She had feet in two canoes - and would someday have to choose. Shaka knows the type.

Maybe she was a Shaka Goddess.

By golly - I think that works!

Did you assist in her explorations (other than by lending your car)? I hope there hasn't been any guilt gnawing away over the years.
