John Gee's FAIR Conference Presentation - Important Notice

Post by _William Schryver »

-IMPORTANT NOTICE-

To Whom It May Concern:

John Gee will not be present at the FAIR conference this year. He has an obligation that conflicts with the conference, and will not be in town. He has requested, and I have agreed, to deliver his address for him.

His address is rather short. It will require me about 15 minutes to deliver it--at most. This is good from the standpoint that my address is now right around 50 minutes, which would have precluded much, if any, Q&A afterwards. Since there will obviously be no Q&A after John's address, I will therefore be commencing my address immediately after delivering John's, which will then permit Q&A after mine.

Therefore, be forewarned that I will be starting at 1:00pm rather than 1:30pm as listed in the schedule.

Have you and David Bokovoy thought about working on a project together?

Tim: There he is!
King Arthur: Where?
Tim: There!
King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit?
Tim: It *is* the rabbit!
King Arthur: You silly sod!
Tim: What?
King Arthur: You got us all worked up!
Tim: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I'm warning you!
Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!
King Arthur: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
Sir Bors: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!

Run away! Run away! Run away!

I would very much like to work with him on a project that treats upon the Law of Consecration--assuming I can ever get him to sit down long enough to hear my views on the topic, instead of him merely assuming he knows what they are.

In lieu of that, I'd very much like to work with him on a project that entails the use of his blues harp and my guitar.

I have great regard for David and consider him a brother and a friend--albeit of the kind that sometimes get into little spats.

All of my best friends were never my best friends until we finally had at least one knock-down, drag out fight. After wiping the blood and sweat and tears off our faces, we were finally able to see eye to eye, even if one or both of them were a bit swollen for a while afterwards.

This will change the face of Mormon Apologetics forever and blow the doors off anyone who thought they knew anything about Egyptian artifacts! It will stand as the premier FAIR presentation of the 21st Century.

Be there at 1pm.

There. Fixed it for you.

C'mon Will... are you gonna unleash some super duper secret data the Mormon church has hidden from us all?


I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain

Mr. Schryver,

"[C]ould very well be" or will be one of the most significant presentations in the brief history of FAIR. Those of us fond of $80 would like to know.

Regards,

Spider.

Will:

How much does it cost to attend just your lecture and nothing else? I looked at the website but didn't see pricing for a half day (or less).

Hey, thanks!

Could you help me with this lyrics:

Hey sana, hosanna, zana zana ho
zana hey zana hosanna.

Will Schryver will reveal to thee
the most important presentation of all.
