Just make sure you sample the cuisine in the COB cafeteria and report back.

Some of the restricted materials may be on the other side of the moat with that three headed dog.

Ok, I remember years ago when I worked (briefly) for a downtown law office. Everybody there would always say how good the food was at the COB caf. And not just the Mormons either. So it still has this reputation? Is it cheap? Unusual? What?

Who said that? The cafeteria there reminded me of the MTC cafeteria. For that reason, we hardly ever ate there. It's not even particularly cheap, if I remember.

We always went to the Lion House, the ZCMI cafeteria, café Trang, or café Mediterranean for lunch. Never to the COB cafeteria. Ick.

Oh I remember eating at ZCMI years ago...

I actually could smell the cafeteria in the lobby of the COB (I think, either that or someone was carrying their lunch in their backpack) and I remembered how everyone from the law office used to eat there and tell me too as well.

have a copy of the Ardis Parshall piece about being thrown out of the FAIR symposium? When I try to find it on Times & Seasons, I am told it no longer exists.

Thanks.

No, I didn't save it.

I'm sorry they took it down. They were obviously unprepared for the controversy, or maybe any controversy? Either way there were better ways to "leave things" than delete it. I don't know who made the decision as I have no connection to any of the 'bloggernacle' blogs and never post there (and rarely read them).

Well, you see, it is all about being one big happy family, right? I mean, when I was active and posting on FAIR, no one believed I was LDS. They all thought I was anti. If I was anti-anything, it was anti-hypocrisy-and-self-righteousness-among-apologists. Now that I no longer attend the LDS Church, I still don't consider myself anti-Mormon, and I am sure there would be plenty of folks to tell me that I am. I can see why they might do that now, since I no longer attend, and I am critical of things the LDS Church does, but how this was the case before puzzles me. It was for disagreeing with apologists that I was called an anti-Mormon. I am sure it still is to no small degree.

[_Blixa]

You got that right, Trevor. Still calling Ardis Parshall "anti-mormon" and I think also, "bitter anti-mormon," defies belief.

Here's the Parshall/FAIR ejection or whatever from MDB for those who are interested.

[_Dr. Shades]

The impression I got is that she was politely asked to not rearrange the tables and was given the helpful suggestion that her electronic needs could be better served by sitting in a different seat.

But nevertheless she left in a huff and didn't return--giving reason to believe she was royally pissed off.

If she was only giving a little barb in her blog entry, why did she need to depart the session entirely and not return?
