      Having a CB committee run BYU is the dream of asshat Ute fans everywhere. I can't help but smile maniacally just thinking about it.

        well, now i know what the hell a barcalounger is. thanks, google!

          In that case, I look forward to your post. And I think that's what will end up happening. Inwardly, I hope they can negotiate some TV rights, but the MWC seems to hold the larger stack of chips right now.

            Hopefully BYu doesn't pull a Truman.

              It falls on me to highlight the errors, because BYU never apologizes or owns up to anything. In that sense BYU and Bill Clinton are a lot alike.

                Elaborate. What do we need to apologize for and own up to?? Okay, okay, our guy was in on cold fusion too. Phew. I'm glad we could get past that.

                      RedSox, if you don't stop now you will soon be enmeshed in a conversation with SU about the priesthood ban, polygamy, Joseph Smith's supposed sins, and the general moral bankruptcy of Mormonism. These are all among SU's greatest hits. Don't become his latest unwitting victim by letting him waste your time.

                      "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

                        That's a sweet SU logo they have going on at that site. The inverted pyramid is a nice touch.

                          1465 posts before SU mentions the MEP talk. That might be a new record for a thread.

                            It happened at BYU. I still haven't heard an apology.

In the meantime, I'll cease my discussion on logic (while I inwardly laugh at SU for inadvertently proving my point).
                              No, you're just supposed to keep it in the original thread, where possible. The quote feature helps with that.

                              Thanks for the scroll tip, that sounds useful.
                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                                Holmoe: Hard is good

                                lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Let's see. Holmoe just turned 50. Yup, he's getting to the age of realizing how easy it once was to take hard for granted.

                                Has goatnapper had anything to say about this?
