*It was all revealed on 3/8/2010.
It would be interesting to know if I'm now getting browbeaten by two women and not just one. lol.
Seriously, I was joking. It’s from this thread:

I’d guess it’s as much as 50/50, but I really don’t know.
some how my Christian friends love the childish toilet humor!
Let me guess, you haven’t seen Monty Python, right?
It is a movie reference from a movie whose whole premise is mockery of the the Holy Grail legends.
“What is the weight of an unladen swallow?”

More depravity from the learned!
Yep they are still filthy rags who wallow in this muck
Deut. 28:
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
EPHESIANS CHAPTER 5
Saints exhorted to avoid uncleanness and walk uprightly—Husbands and wives should love each other.
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Not that it matters, but my friends and my English professor at BYU were the ones who introduced me to Monty Python.
IOW, the ‘low class humor’ was what was standard fare at the dorms at BYU. The ‘holier than thou’ Mormons were the ones who showed me Monty Python.

it is no secret there are all kinds of professor even left ones has at BYU but that is the down side to free agency they are hard to tolerate.
...there are many that got so carried away in their pushing the envelope they ended up being excommunicate!
interesting assumption, but this wasn’t a lefty prof or students. Mostly College republicans and honor students
English humor is big with college kids and Monty Python is considered the epitome of English humor.
And you assume I still watch it. Interesting. Or is it just typical LDS superiority complex?
FWIW, I don’t watch TV at all and really only watch movies prior to 1965 (my favorites are WWII ‘morale movies’), but I also believe that Christians have a freedom in Christ so what may be a sin for me, isn’t necessarily a sin for others.
If the Bible is NOT explicit on something, it is a matter of conscience between a believer and God. Kinda along the lines of the caffeine/hot drinks debate on the Word of Wisdom. Is it all hot drinks are a no-no and “Jolt” cola is OK, or is it caffeine is a no-no and herbal teas are ok? I was part of the no caffine at all crowd.
Mormonism cured me of a legalistic attitude that the LDS so often show.
It is interesting about the caffeine my uncle the former bishop popped Excedrin like candy because of the caffeine, a cup of coffee.....no way.
Why?
So you can learn more about MORMONism?
I can supply that need!
Orson Pratt was married to ten women. At age 57 Pratt married a sixteen year old girl, his tenth wife Margaret Graham, younger than his daughter Celestia, causing his first wife Sarah, an outspoken critic of polygamy, to lash out in an 1877 interview,
| “ | Here was my husband, gray headed, taking to his bed young girls in mockery of marriage. Of course there could be no joy for him in such an intercourse except for the indulgence of his fanaticism and of something else, perhaps, which I hesitate to mention.[6] | ” |
Pratt and all of his wives and children struggled with poverty.[7]
In 1886, Orson's wife Sarah Pratt claimed in an interview that, while in Nauvoo, Illinois, Joseph Smith, Jr. was attracted to her and intended to make her "one of his spiritual wives" while Orson was in England on missionary service.[8] To Smith's proposal Sarah replied, "Am I called upon to break the marriage covenant … to my lawful husband! I never will. I care not for the blessings of Jacob, and I believe in NO SUCH revelations, neither will I consent under any circumstances. I have one good husband, and that is enough for me."[9] Pratt issued an ultimatum to Smith: "Joseph, if you ever attempt any thing of the kind with me again, I will tell Mr. Pratt on his return home. Depend upon it, I will certainly do it," [10] a warning that elicited the threat from Smith, "Sister Pratt, I hope you will not expose me; if I am to suffer, all suffer; so do not expose me. … If you should tell, I will ruin your reputation, remember that." After her husband Orson returned from England, Pratt later claimed an incident between Pratt and Smith at her home occurred, and "Sarah ordered the Prophet out of the house, and the Prophet used obscene language to her [declaring that he had found Bennett in bed with her]," according to Sarah Pratt's neighbor, Mary Ettie V. Smith.[10] Sarah told her husband about the incident; Orson took Sarah's side and confronted Smith, who denied Sarah's allegation and responded that she was Bennett's lover.[7] The resulting estrangement between Smith and Orson Pratt, who stood by Sarah in preference to the denials of Joseph, who warned his disciple that "if [Orson] did believe his wife and follow her suggestions he would go to hell,[11].
However, in the local and Mormon press, Sarah Pratt was accused of having had an adulterous relationship, not with Smith, but with Bennett, and numerous affidavits were printed in local and pro-Mormon Nauvoo publications,[12][13] including the leading councils of the church and from members such as Jacob B. Backenstos, a relative of the sheriff of Hancock County. Van Wagoner has dismissed the adultery charges against Sarah Pratt as "highly improbable" and that J. B. Backenstos's affidavit stating that Bennett continued the adulterous relationship with Sarah Pratt after Orson returned from England could "be dismissed as slander."[7]
Orson Pratt became estranged from the church and Smith. Wilford Woodruff stated that "Dr. John Cook Bennett was the ruin of Orson Pratt".[14] Van Wagoner and Walker note that, on August 20, 1842, "after four days of fruitless efforts at reconciliation, the Twelve excommunicated Pratt for 'insubordination' and Sarah for 'adultery'".[15]
Orson soon returned to the church and denounced Bennett. Van Wagoner cites a letter written by Orson's brother Parley P. Pratt,
| “ | Bro. Orson Pratt is in the church and always has been & has the confidence of Joseph Smith and all good men who know him....As to Bennett or his book [The History of the Saints, 1842] I consider it a little stooping to mention it. It is beneath contempt & would disgrace the society of hell and the Devil....His object was vengeance on those who exposed his iniquity.[7] | ” |
Orson wrote a postscript to his brother's letter: "J.C. Bennett has published lies concerning myself & family & the people with which I am connected".[7]
I know there were some here on FR that were REAL curious about ELSIE's M/F ratio a while back...

As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Joseph Smith was pushing more than the 'envelope' and it got HIM killed!

Shaw right. My antennas go up anytime one would refer to his or herself as even having an "M/F ratio." Can't say I'm surprised. :-)
Take me to the window. Let me look at the moors with you once more, my darling. Once more.
I did watch “Chef” when I was in culinary school. First series was the best.
“Salt?!?! He wants salt?!?!?”
Thanks else, that is what I was hoping for.
Don’t let Resty hear ‘bout your an’tennas goin’ up!
She might take it the wrong way.
