BYU Football - A slow death

[lambdacoug]

I thought you'd be a fan of this post, atheistcoug. Did you go and get all agnostic on us?

Is it not possible to ROFL without also mocking? I found the post funny, because it is so true, or close to it.

So maybe, would have been more appropriate.

Three weeks later OU doubled up the Cougars in an epic beatdown. My roommate nearly got all of us into a fight with with some punk Spanish-speaking elder and his whole district. He was spouting the "BYU is the Lord's University" and "If you are Mormon, you HAVE to cheer for the Cougars" garbage.

Is this some kind of YBU thing?

I was in the MTC during that one. I was listening to language tapes (HONEST) on my yellow, waterproof Walkman Sport and everybody kept asking me for updates on the game. The noise was deafening.

My roommate said, "I am a Mormon. I am from Oregon. I will never cheer for BYU. And I LOVE the Ducks!"

They wanted to throw down. We laughed and walked away.

A few months later I LAUGHED my ass off when I learned that Hawaii DEMOLISHED them after the Heisman was announced. Then cheered again for A&M in the Holiday Bowl. Detmer was a warrior, though, and watching him play through TWO separated shoulders was inspiring.

I am disappointed in this story. Nobody suffered a slow death.

What an ass.

Sorry, UO (Phil Knight U). Dyslexic moment.

I didn't realize it was kosher to kill somebody at the MTC.

We DID have a kid almost die when he opened up a huge gash on his leg when he ran into a truck bumper playing Ultimate Frisbee. Blood was spurting everywhere. One of the "P-Day Athletic Activity Specialists" (or whatever they were called) whipped off her bra and tied it around his leg as a tourniquet. He had surgery and IIRC the surgeon told him he nicked a major artery and would have bled out without the bra-niquet.

Dammit! Why didn't the cool things happen when I was at the MTC?

The fact that her sweater puppets were suddenly 'free' was a matter of great interest amongst the group of thirsty young men in the struggling through the desert, as it were.

The other athletic leaders shooed the rest of us away to clear way for the ambulance. After that they banned Ultimate.

Later that week a high school friend who was in at the same time as me told me that he thought one of the sister missionaries was stalking him. Earlier in the week they did sealing ceremonies at the temple and afterward she told him, "You know this means we are married now...", and started following him around. It kind of freaked him out. He wanted to be a good missionary and was NOT at all interested in her anyway, so he told his Branch President who relayed the message up eventually to the MTC President. After that they banned missionaries from participating in the sealings.

Some other time I will tell you the story of when my branch was doing Baptisms for the Dead and a guy (non-missionary) brought in the stack of records for all of the famous indian chiefs, requesting to be baptized for them. I have to wonder how many times Sitting Bull and Geronimo have had their work done...

Needless to say, the MTC was an interesting and exciting experience.

Hmmm. I was a MTC PE instructor (best job,ever!) around that time and never once heard of any mammary-related healings. It seems like that would have been reported in our daily meetings, instead of the usual, "I won a Snickers off Elder Arizona, playing HORSE", "you should play with Elder Portugal, he is a baller", or "Have you seen Sister Argentina? Muy caliente!"

The mammaries were never truly 'free', and were not out in the open of course. And frankly I didn't even know it was possible to pull off a bra without removing the shirt. But what would I know, I never even took one off somebody until several years later.

No need to lie here. None of us will send you home early from your mission

If you have daughters that play on multiple competitive soccer teams, you learn all sorts of things like that. My favorite is change-the-shirt-in-the-car-on-the-freeway-without-removing-the-first-one-until-the-second-one-is-on. Kids! Nature's little marvel factory...

Pulling off the swimsuit top (from a willing accomplice) at Lake Powell is different from actually doing the shirt/underthings maneuver on dry land.

I learned much when I got married. And I only have sons -- they discover marvelous and creative new ways to burn down the house and otherwise try to take over the world.

Oh. I didn't know they didn't play ward basketball at the MTC. You learn something new every day.

Welcome back, Moose. Much better job this time around.

Topper doesn't know Moose. Should Topper meet Moose? Is he your friend, Mr. Viking, sir?

Unless you are TNT from cougarboard you really shouldn't use the 3rd person, that shtick has been claimed and in use for years, and you aren't particularly good at it, nor is it funny.
