after looking back I totally misquoted myself, though the context was accurate.

I don't know who I picked that up from.

I guess you haven't read many of my works. I certainly would classify myself as an intellect.

Thanks Tex. Although the content is at times vague and syrupy, it does keep hope alive.

On a related topic referenced in her talk: Does the concept of single childless women being "blessed" with husband and offspring in the afterlife fall into the doctrine or folklore category? Scriptural references are unclear on this topic. If I am to understand correctly, my eternal joy will be based on if either you or Indy take me as a plural wife and "bless" me with multiple offspring? Is this pablum designed to calm the fears of single LDS women? Where are the specific scriptural references? Is this a historical tradition common to other early cultures? Are all of our earthly problems rectified in the afterlife - i.e. will you be a Heisman Trophy winner and I will be Miss America?

Serious question that is probably best addressed in a separate thread. I would be interested in the thoughts of the resident intellectuals - Archaea, CHC, Solon, SU, SC, MW, et.al. (you know who you are). I have to catch a plane and will follow up later...

Sorry, but chronic histrionics are a big turn off for me, so you're safe.

Histrionics
Hysterical
Hysterectomy

I see similarities. Who is the board etymologist?

C'mon Indy, give the gal credit. That was a pretty good one.

I like that.

Henceforth we knight ye (what is the object form of ye?) the Eight Sages.

Actually we have two missing ones, Adam and Dan, who is gone in search of the Holy Grail, or some pot of gold. So actually there were ten.

I humbly and respectfully submit a vote for BYU71 to receive Sage status. Satire and wisdom combined are a rare talent these days (especially here).
