My second mission companion used to claim he was Mick Jagger to random people in Spain. He even signed several autographs. He looked nothing like Mick Jagger.

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.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

Haha. That is the best theory yet.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostI was highly skeptical of the Cook/Jagger story from the beginning. Jagger flying alone from Mexico to Texas at the height of his fame? My guess is that Cook was sincere but was duped by some dude who looked like Jagger and decided to have some fun once he realized Cook had bought into his schtick."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

He did in fact shoot several music videos in Mexico so that part checks out as possible.Originally posted by MartyFunkhouser View PostPAC, I sincerely thank you for your post leading me to this gem. My life is better having read this.

The story makes it sounds like he has 3 different women pregnant at the same time and that does not check out.
I agree that it was likely some dufus “pretending” to be Mick Jagger with Cook too clueless to know.
Cook could totally have been upgraded to first class — I don’t find that part implausible at all.

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."

Almost like it was lifted right out of "Sympathy for the Devil".Originally posted by MartyFunkhouser View PostI think you are all so cynical. It is completely believable that Mick Jagger said the exact words "our music is calculated to drive the kids to sex." That sounds just like him."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.'"

My buddy was in Japan for a couple months back in the early 2000s and was subjected to a barrage of tourists (nationality unclear) insisting he was Leonardo DiCaprio. He says he was walking down a country road somewhere and whole tour bus pulled over to accost him. Autographs, pictures, the whole 9. He looks absolutely nothing like Leo.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostI signed several baseballs as a missionary in Japan as Pete Rose and Babe Ruth."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!
