  And unfortunately, this was true!!

  Really? I don't know that much about the mormons, just stuff I have run across in my unfortunate need to learn all about cults. It just popped into my head and somehow I had a feeling it was probably true.

  If I was a creepy old bastard, I would join the mormons. How else would you get a 20yr old wife!

  Sorry about the mental image when you had the little mormons at your door. You know that as soon as something funny gets in your head, it will come up at some inoportune time.

  So take I it same old by you? Good therapy you got going there. I do those stories in my head all the time. Only I put actual names to mine! Sometimes if you don't keep a sense of humor about the dubs you will end up joining them in the funny farm.

  Actually, CYP, Brigham had over 20 wives... I don't think any of them were pre-pubescent or anything. He did marry several women who were much younger than he was.

  OTOH Joseph Smith married (among many others) a 14-yr old, (and he also reportedly proposed marriage to a 12-yr old, but did not marry her).

  Just clarifyin'.

  CYP,

  That was great. Nice Buffett reference by the way.

  CYP,

  The only problem I saw with it was that I have never met a Mormon who backed down from a fight, and they don't fight like girls. I have also played football with some Mormons, including Mormon missionaries. We are talking about guys who often grew up knowing how to hunt, going camping regularly, preparing for voluntary service in the U.S. Military (a very common thing for Mormon youths to do), these aren't the wilting pansies that JW youths are, having been taught never to fight unless you have to fight.

  But it was still hilarious.

  Respectfully,
  AuldSoul

  I was laughing my ass off! ... until Auldsoul had to ruin the fun... Although, he is right.

  I have a cousin who is a mormon (or was), and he was pretty much an "All-American" sort of guy, kung fu, football team, basketball team... all dreamy and $h!t...

  I think in reality, the headline would have more likely read "Neighborhood Violence Turns to Non-Event as JW Youths Beat Futilely Upon Mormons' Chests"...
