Personally, I always imagined the seer stone as something like a beautiful crystal that magically lights up when you put it in a dark place, and reveals poetic phrases within its facets. Instead we get this prosaic rock.
Apparently LDS leaders are just as jaded as you all. Because if this seer stone were all its been cracked up to be -- if they really believed that -- they they'd have constructed an edifice, an entire gorgeous building to house it in, and kept it in a holy of holies, except for April 6 of each year.
What a comedy. lol! This thread already deserves five stars.

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

Jake Olson, blind kid from back when Pete was coach, enrolled at SC and fulfills his dream as an honorary team member/walk on....until NCAA decided to count him against SC's roster slot limitations.

If you remember, Olson built a connection with USC and former coach Pete Carroll (as seen in the photo above) as a 12-year-old boy faced with going blind due to cancer. He then grew up and became a long snapper at Orange Lutheran High School in Southern California with dreams of walking on at USC.Olson, who lost his eyesight as a youth because of a rare form of cancer, is a recipient of a Swim With Mike scholarship, given to athletes with physical challenges. Because that's considered an athletic scholarship, if Olson walked on to the football team, he would become a "counter" in football -- i.e., he would occupy one of the available 85 roster slots.The way the NCAA determines counters, football supersedes all other sports. According to bylaw 15.5.9.1, even a student-athlete "who was not recruited and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who competes in football and one or more (other) sports shall be counted in football."
Although Olson isn't planning to participate in another sport, he falls under that category as a Swim With Mike scholarship recipient.
Schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision have annual caps of 25 "initial counters" (incoming freshmen and transfers) and 85 total scholarships. USC has reached its limit of initial counters for 2015 -- the first year it has been able to add a full recruiting class since 2011 because of NCAA sanctions.
So because Olson received a non-football scholarship given to those with physical disadvantages, he's viewed the same as Adoree Jackson, Cody Kessler or any other scholarship football player at USC even though Olson will likely only practice with the team and contribute to the Trojans in off-field roles.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Fireball. He is a millionaire. He is an adult with children. He has advanced to the highest level in his career. Yet, he was getting drunk taking shots of Fireball like a frat bitch.
I mean really, why isn't this embarrassing aspect being discussed more?As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Because once you reach a certain level of success/financial security you just eat/drink what you want and stop worrying about if it is the hip thing to do.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostFireball.

I like Fireball shots. Atomic fireballs are an awesome candy. The liquor tastes exactly like the candy. It's too sweet for multiple shots though, and I never walk into a bar and order one for myself. It's more of a fun group thing.Dyslexics are teople poo...
