Well, I’ll take quality over a shorter wait-time any day of the week.

This isn’t a going away post, so I’m not entirely sure if I’m posting in the right thread, but hi.

Whether I find the time to post here often remains to be determined, but it’s good to be back.

Also, why the f***k is a certain edit not finished yet? Frink, you’ve only got so many years left to finish the thing. You shouldn’t tempt fate like this at your age.

(I can’t believe you thought I swore! I meant “why the frink”!)

Thank you probably isn’t the best response to your post, Warbler, but I guess I could say that I appreciate that you appreciate me being here (unless you’re saying darn that you’ll see me in June ;P).

You’ll be missed 😃

So will you!

And off I go…

And off I go again. Nice seeing you all. I’ll catch up with you in June sometime…

Sounds like quite a guy. Is the role of a Mormon president comparable to that of the Pope? Or are they only superficially similar?

Snowing, bitterly cold, sometimes dropping down as low as -2-6.

Doesn’t sound like you’d enjoy the -20 to -26 weather we’ve had for the past week (and it’s not at all abnormal here for it to go down to -40 for a couple days every winter).

And if you mean -2 degrees Celsius, then that’s just pathetic. 😉

Literally colder than both the North and the South Pole (which sounds bad, but is still several degrees warmer than what our lowest temperatures usually are).

What was the liturgical celebration for the Third Day of Christmas?

The Feast of St. John the Evangelist

I know there is a significant Catholic celebration for today as well, but I don’t remember what it is and won’t bother to look it up right now. For the moment, enjoy thinking about four calling birds and getting that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

It’s the Feast of the Holy Infants (all the babies Herod killed trying to get Jesus).

Yes…as a matter of fact, it’s already prepared. I’ll be having leftovers.

Also, I disapprove of the heavily secularized thread title. #Puttheholyinfantsbackinthefeastoftheholyinfants

None, alas. I did eat chicken though.

Ah, OK. A bit like Elijah then.

While we’re on the topic of saints and feast days, is it true that Mormons believe that the apostle John (whose feast day Catholics celebrate today) is still alive and wandering around?

Happy feast of St. Stephen / 2nd day of the Octave of Christmas!

Do Mormons even celebrate feast days besides things like Christmas?

• A wife (preferably a natural redhead of Irish/Scots background with blue eyes and an incredible singing voice)

Sounds a lot like a crush I had for a while. But she’s not a wife. And she’s probably a little young for you.

Me too.

You’re a redheaded Scottish/Irish non-wife? Or do you mean she’s too young for you too? She’s also too young for Frink, for that matter (but who isn’t too young for Frink?).

203

Haha, that’s awesome.

TV’s Frink said:

Because that’s the closest RO had to any lightsaber fights.

Oh, LOL, I thought it was ANH for some reason… 😛

Love it…but why’s there a non-lightsaber fight in there?

Ha! Fits pretty well with his facial expression…

(Glad your ban didn’t last long…I was a bit shocked to see a red line through your avatar when I logged in a few days ago.)

Merry Christmas to you all!

Luke did something we’ve never seen any other Jedi do before. He projected a solid version of himself across unimaginable distances and could interact with Leia and even Threepio. That had to come with a price. In the end, Luke saved the day one last time and went out a hero.

I didn’t get that from the movie at all. If that had been communicated more clearly to the audience it might not have felt so insulting to me.

That’s immediately what I thought. Died of exhaustion after that performance.

Yeah, I got that right away too…he barely made it back onto that rock.

I’m confused at people’s confusion.

@Mjolnir, Based on your last post, I suspect you will dislike TLJ more than not. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as TFA, but it also doesn’t fit super well with the OT in the way the Force is interpreted. You probably won’t miss much by waiting till it’s out of theatres, but avoid spoilers or you’ll probably enjoy it even less.

You haven’t seen much of me in the past year or so as it is, though I have been lurking every so often recently, but you’ll see even less of me in the next year. I’ll be going into the seminary, which includes a year-long media fast at the beginning (i.e. no computer, TV, phone, etc.).

LOL… The media fast doesn’t apply during Christmas break, so I’ll be popping in and out over the next week or two.

EDIT: I guess maybe I should mention somewhere that I’m sort of back for now, but that takes too much effort. 😉

Damn I just mailed a bunch of CDs yesterday. I didn’t mail you yours because I just figured why bother I’ll just wait till he’s back. You’ve got two new albums to catch up on!

Ah, shucks, but no worries. And two albums already… I’m looking forward to hearing them, whenver that will be!
