Channel Surfing

Sorry about punctuality of this post, been punished for hitting on that mormon girl...


The other day I was bored out of my mind and flipping channels when I see Family Feud. If you haven't seen this show you should probably learn how to plug in the television. It involves people guessing what 100 people answered a survey with. e.g. The host asks "Name something from Batman, besides the Batcave, that starts with 'Bat'" People then reply with "Batmobile" and proceed to guess what the three people who didn't put Batmobile thought up... they always fail as the answer turns out to be "Red!!!!"

So I skip that

Then I move on to USA to see which Law & Order they have on...

Then I skip that

I try everything. I even watched Home and Garden Network (with slight persuasion from my mom) and I begin to wonder... As I reach the brink of consciencessness I begin to wonder Who REALLY watches things like "Trading Spouses?" Didn't Dave Chappelle (note how the only tim I can spelle in italiccs) do a skit like that in his first season? Would Dave Chapple be a Troll Rogue or a Human Palidan in World of WarCraft? Did I shampoo my hair when I showered this morning? And that's about when my mom asks me to take out the trash or do some other menial chore.

Then I ignore her and watch TiVoed episodes of G4

Awkward Moments

Last Conference, 2nd session, we all watched as a number of seventy were sustained. One that I particularly noticed was Brother C. Scott Grow, an Area Seventy who lived in the ward I attend.

I also home teach this brethren...

The next Sunday, we headed over to their house and I gave the lesson on "Perseverance." We said our goodbyes, headed out the door, and drove to the Stake President's house where i gave the exact same lesson.

I must have the best (or worst) luck with who I home teach. I go to a seventy and a stake president in less than 5 minutes! You don't get much better than that.

I have wondered, as I move up and up the chain of people I teach, what it would be like to teach the Prophet. I'd imagine meetings would go something like this:

Jr. Companion: So, Mister Prophet sir, how has your job been going?

Prophet: Well, Kim Jong-il still won't let us in, but there has been progress.

Jr. Companion: Right...

Sr. Companion: Well, my son would like to share a few words about this week's First Presidency Message.

Jr. Companion: This week the prophet... er, I mean you... Wrote that, and forgive me if I miss interpret this, the symbol of our faith is (I really should have read this) (rustle of paper moving)... Our love!

Prophet: Well, I meant it to be more that...


You get the point.

Who the Heck Are We?

Sooooooo
This is pretty much a blog written by a couple of LDS youth spread out across the U.S. of A. Our point is just to tell some of the events in our life that we think would be humor intensive for mormons, like when we hometeached newly-eldered Grow or when we flirted with the Miamaid president.
It might be that we are wrong, and this site only will serve as a type of journal. Or we might get an Instalanche on our 8th day. Who knows?
If you think you got what it takes to co-blog, email me at istand1337@gmail.com with a piece of your finest work. Try to keep it to experiences that happened from the last conference onward.

Hitting on a Mormon Girl

I was at freshman football the other day, minding the cheerleader’s business and I think, Hey, you know what would make me popular… going over there and hitting on those cheer-letes (That is the politically correct way of saying it). So I go over to them, and I say to one particular girl "Do you have a boyfriend?" (The girl says why or no or something) "Do you want one?" Now, I think that this is a perfectly nice thing to say, especially followed by a "You don't need a license to use these guns" while flexing.
I run my laps thinking Who the man? You the man.

Later that evening I talk to my brother and he says, “Do you know {name omitted to protect the innocent}”
I vaguely recalled use of the name, but could not locate the source off the top of my head. So of course I say yes.
“The red-head from our ward?”
And I realize: Woooooo. You are saying I was trying to pick up a miamaid? From our WARD!!!!!!!

Now, this was Wednesday and we have mutual, combined activity. I show up and who should greet me but Mrs. Red-head, smile that cheerleader smile.
Awkward

Now, my friend best summarized it by saying:
Let’s look at the pros and cons of this one:
CONS: (bad news first so you don’t feel so bad about yourself when it comes to the good stuff...)
*you screwed up...
*She’s in your ward
*20 bucks says every girl in the ward will hear about this one.
PROS:
*Popularity just went up (whether good or bad could be a different thing...)

Worth it or not, I figure I’ll date outside the confines of our building
