A big click of the chop sticks to that!
I'm left to wonder if one can get decent sushi in Utah.
Some Utah Japanese restaurants offer a variety of fish. It is nearly impossible to ever get fresh caught fish, because Utah is a land locked State. Anyway, with pickled ginger, wasabi and any dipping sauces, they pretty much taste the same to me. Lately, I have been wimping out and using less and less wasabi. Soon I will be wondering if I dare to eat a peach.
I wonder which phrase has been used more "so-called" or "and it came to pass"?!
Let me throw in another contender: "even," as in "we have a living prophet, even Gordon B. Hinckley." ;)
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

And it came to pass that he, even Pahoran, stood up against the so-called intellectuals, and yea, there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The so-called Articles of Faith of The so-called Church of Jesus Christ of the so-called Latter-day Saints
1. We believe in the God, the so-called Eternal Father, and in His so-called Son, the so-called Jesus Christ, and in the so-called Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own so-called sins, and not for Adam's so-called transgression.
3. We believe that through the so-called Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the so-called Gospel.
4. We believe that the so-called first principles and so-called ordinances of the so-called Gospel are: first, the so-called Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, the so-called Repentance; third, the so-called Baptism by the so-called immersion for the so-called remission of so-called sins; fourth, so-called Laying on of so-called hands for the so-called gift of the so-called Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same so-called organization that existed in the so-called Primitive Church, namely, so-called apostles, so-called prophets, so-called pastors, so-called teachers, so-called evangelists, and so forth as so-called.
7. We believe in the so-called gift of tongues, so-called prophecy, so-called revelation, so-called visions, so-called healing, so-called interpretation of tongues, and so forth as so-called.
8. We believe the so-called Bible to be the so-called word of God as far as it is so-called translated correctly; we also believe the so-called Book of Mormon to be the so-called word of God.
9. We believe all that the so-called God has revealed, all that He does now so-called reveal, and we believe that He will yet so-called reveal many so-called great and so-called important things pertaining to the so-called Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of so-called Israel and in the so-called restoration of the so-called Ten Tribes; that so-called Zion (the so-called New Jerusalem) will be built upon the so-called American continent; that the so-called Christ will reign personally upon the so-called earth; and, that the so-called earth will be so-called renewed and receive its so-called paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the so-called privilege of worshiping the so-called Almighty God according to the so-called dictates of our own so-called conscience, and allow all so-called men the same so-called privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they so-called may.
12. We believe in being subject to so-called kings, so-called presidents, so-called rulers, and so-called magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the so-called law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all so-called men; indeed, we may say that we follow the so-called admonition of Paul—We believe all so-called things, we hope all so-called things, we have endured many so-called things, and hope to be able to endure all so-called things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these so-called things.
The so-called prophet Joseph Smith
PS Did I miss any "so-called" thing?
PSS And it came to pass that I even had a so-called calling to do this.
