This is a fantastic line, with more than a germ of truth in it.

I second this, with a qualification. I'd be willing to bet that most of even the male BYU population would look at her as the best of both worlds: good-looking blonde with an edge who has a...

I don't think that Islam competes with mystery religions, New Age spiritualities, etc. The mystical strands of Islam tend to be isolated and marginalized. I think the appeal of Islam is due to its...

Or a roman numeral? (RGIII excepted)

In honor of Rush's induction, I've set up a master playlist on Rhapsody of every track they ever recorded (well, there are a couple of rarities here and there that are missing, but it's reasonably...

Good hell, you guys were a lot more sophisticated on your missions than I was. I would have assumed that "Philip Glass" was a window repair shop or something ("Whenever you hear the crash, think of...

There are two strikes against him right there. :D

The other thing I worry about is anyone that always puts "Ph.D" after their name (or, worse, "Ed.D". Run from those like the plague).

I remember reading his book in "dialogue" with some evangelical scholar a few years back. I kept wanting to throw it across the room. He made some outright absurd statements ("there's no passage in...

Thanks for the reminder of why I can't stand Bob Millet. I can't think of anyone who has worked harder to water down Mormon doctrine in an attempt to curry favor with people whose opinions are of...

Here are their acceptance speeches. Lerxst's speech begins at about 4:50. You'll find yourself thinking, "how long can he keep that up?" And then you figure out what he's doing.

Hey JiC, when will the results be rolled out? (I submitted my data on CS). Looking forward to seeing what you're up to. Make sure you properly acknowledge all of us in a footnote when the thing shows...

I learned that if you want to describe the impressive size of the conference center, you might want to choose an adjective other than "spacious."

This was perfect for an early Monday morning. Good call, GU!

Was it generally regarded as a kind of Abrahamic trial at the time? My vague impression was that the folk doctrines about the preexistence were alive and flourishing and that many, perhaps most,...

I'm a little bit younger, so I remember it happening, where I was when the announcement was made, and that it was significant, but I didn't understand the full ramifications at the time. I guess my...

It's been a long time since I looked at Ed Kimball's book, so I'll trust your summary over my memory. I don't think that anyone would argue that there was a simple cause and effect relationship...

This is right on. It astounds me how culturally illiterate young people are today. Nothing can get me to go into cranky old man mode faster than talking to someone in their early 20s who has no idea...

1. Uchtdorf (priesthood session)

Since GBH, it's rare that you get a GA that can actually do anything more than elicit a courtesy...

SavaUte, you are a man of taste and refinement. I love the studio version but the live version from the Mr. Crowley picture disc EP is even better.

I remember excitedly discovering this book on our family bookshelf when I was a kid. Thirty seconds and one broken heart later it was back in its place. Same thing with The Naked Capitalist.

What's the deal with this Moose person? Is he some kind of renegade Chinese hacker? Signs of the times from the Bible, I tell ya.

Sorry to hear about the problems, JL. Maybe it's time for the laying on of hands. Or the careful application of a boot straight to, well, wherever a boot would go in this case.

(Maybe this is...

It started getting in the way of my day job as shift manager at the Village Inn (a position for which it prepared me quite well).

Quito, Ecuador. Late 1980s. Sometimes I wish I had done a better job keeping up my Spanish.

Thanks, LA Ute and Applejack. You were wise to wish me luck. Nothing's a slam dunk when it comes to me and technology.
