Depressing news |
Hi Gang,
I got a call from a family member, one I like very much, last night. He wanted
to tell me that he and is wife had decided to join a church.
The LDS.
I would have been better pleased to hear they had decided to take up smoking.
Well, if it must be a home-grown church, at least it isn't Scientology.

My comment to him was, "you might have chosen a religion with a better prose
style," but I am not sure he got it.

There's an up-side: maybe you'll get discounts on Tupperware! ;)
Down-side: endless flow of "Jell-O"-derived recipes.

One of my favorite products! Derived from the verb "to tup", meaning to engage
in sexual union, especially by or with sheep (vide Othello, Act I, Scene 1, Iago
warns Desdemona's Father, "Even now, now, very now, an old black ram/Is tupping
your white ewe. Arise, arise!"). Like the German, English forms the agent of the
verb (the person or thing performing the action) by adding the suffix "er", as
to laugh gives us laugher, the person guffawing. A tupper is obviously one who
tups sheep. From that we add the further suffix, "ware", to denote plastic
appliances for perverts.
The mind boggles at what goes on in suburbia, where middle-class women gather to
hold tupper parties. Chacun a son gout, I suppose.
Down-side: endless flow of "Jell-O"-derived recipes.
(just tryin' to lighten the mood)
Have you ever _eaten_ that green, so-called "salad"? No lightening there.

agent
of the
verb (the person or thing performing the action) by adding the
suffix
"er", as
to laugh gives us laugher, the person guffawing. A tupper is
obviously
one
who
tups sheep. From that we add the further suffix, "ware", to denote
plastic
appliances for perverts.
The mind boggles at what goes on in suburbia, where middle-class
women
gather to
hold tupper parties. Chacun a son gout, I suppose.
Down-side: endless flow of "Jell-O"-derived recipes.
(just tryin' to lighten the mood)
Have you ever _eaten_ that green, so-called "salad"? No lightening
there.
I must say, I was raised on carrot/jello salad with mayonaise dressing
and
really loved it ;)
Ah, but where do you stand on tupping?
NONE of your beeswax! ;)
That baaaaaaaaaaad, is it?
Not at all. In fact, I've been accused of having a nose job ;)
It's not her nose, it's a false one!
Dang! It's deja vu all over again ;)

Green Jello with mixed fruit is okay...but my favorite Jello memory is
back in 6th-8th Grade, when we got the red or the green as dessert at
lunch. The standard drink was a vanilla milkshake. Dump the Jello into
the shake and gross people out as these little blobs of color go running
up the transparent straw!
Ah, those were the days.

Condolences - losing a family member always hurts.
Well, unless they're not totally lost and will be able to realize what a
pile of ***** morontheist doctrine is. Don't know if this might happen,
after all I don't know your folks...

As I trust we are talking about the genuine, truly braindead US variant of

His sordid admission could not have come at a worse time. I am only just now
getting around to reassigning survivorship rights to such worldly possessions as
my retirement funds following the death of my wife, and I am disinclined to see
a tithe of any money I have earned flowing into Salt Lake City (or Rome, for
that matter).

Have you asked them if they know the history and core beliefs of the
church they are about to join? You know, the stuff about the golden
plates, translated by divine inspiration, etc, etc? If they say yes, you
may want to suggest that they see a neurologist to try to figure out why
their brains have suddenly quit working.
