OK, props for truth in advertising, but DEAR GOD WHY.
I kind of wish I had that for the hipster comedian holiday party I went to Sunday. That's why.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Why would the church cut the missionary food budget and say they can't eat with local members?
The official reasoning is that missionaries were getting lazy and only cultivating local members so they could get food, ie, go hit up the potential converts for dinner invites, but in some areas the locals were beginning to feel like restaurants. As for the budget, church HQ doesn't explain the financial decisions it makes. Unofficial word is that frugality is righteous, etc. etc. Subversive word is that the huge mall/condo complex the church is building in downtown Salt Lake City is already 3 billion over budget, with little hope for the future in this real estate market. The church's books are *not* released for examination to anyone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey, why not try the Necronomicon?
Heh.

Yeah, I figured it was reasons like that, Connie--just didn't get why decrease the food budget at the same time! Poor kids.

I've never had a Mormon attempt to proselytize me while traveling, but if it happens I'll be all set with "So, I'm from Arkansas. Let's talk about the Meadow Mountain Massacre!"

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Mountain Meadow, to be pedantic. But sure to be a conversational hit--if the missionary has heard about it.
