If you look through back issues of the Daily Utah Chronicle from the late 70's you'll find a few, including one on The Monkey Wrench Gang. Let me know if you find it---I'm going to be teaching that book next semester in my Nature Lit course...


Off Topic---That's a good book Blixa. I'm a big Edward Abbie fan (I am my father's son).


The R.Crumb illustrated edition published by Ken Sanders is godhead. I need the Seldom Seen Smith t-shirt taken from it.

LOAP: I take it the Buttercream Gang is the porno vid version? No, I'm not familiar with it...

LOL!! The Buttercream Gang is a video I remember seeing in seminary. Some kids form a nice and friendly gang and do good deeds or something like that. I'd have paid more attention if it was a porno.

Double thanks. And amen, all right.

And I tend to use the term "guys" as inclusive. People.

I join with Peterson and Byrd in decrying the utter travesty that is Bergera's Compendium of FPSs. How dare this Mister Bergera edit out crucial teachings about the LDS Church's Neanderthal views of human sexuality so that we clearly understand what latter-day saints ought to believe! I do hope that Mister Bergera also did not omit the crucial statements that reveal past racial bigotry against African Americans.

But seriously, the book should be as complete as possible, for historical reasons, not out of some crazy desire to make sure that the very worst of LDS culture be perpetuated. I think it is even more interesting that these reviewers chose to focus on homosexuality than that Bergera edited such references as he did.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the church itself use ellipses in its manuals?
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

No, our editing manual clearly stated that we were to give only whole quotes in context. ;)

Only the Lord's Correlation Committee knows how to use ellipses correctly. All other ellipses are tools of Satan.

I think the Neaderthal would have a problem with you associating them with the LDS Church.
