While I don't agree with mocking people's appearance, especially on an informal video, I am glad I saw these videos. It's nice to put faces with names.

Agreed. And the constant references to Bill Hamblin were not shameless plugs - apparently the original purpose of the video was per Bill's request so he could see the goings-on. Makes sense to me.

With that being said, short sleeve shirts with ties should be declared illegal immediately, with severe consequences to those who violate the ban.

Heh-heh.

by the way - love the new avatar, Ray. My one experience with Vegemite has left me permanently scarred, but it at least reminds me of my honeymoon Down Under.

You have to acquire a taste for it. My favourite: Vegemite on toast with a fried egg on top. I know, I know, I'm revolting.

Sitting in a B&B in Hobart, there was this lovely little pot of Vegemite on the breakfast table. It looked like delicious sweet apple butter - I had no idea what was actually in it. So I slathered my toast with it and took a nice hearty bite. The Australians at the table kindly tried to hide their laughter when I sputtered.

But you know - having it with a fried egg on top might actually be good.

It's an old trick we used to play on American greenies, tell them it was "beautiful" Australian "chocolate jam". No laughter was spared, however.

When I first tried it I wondered how anyone could find pleasure in eating rust from old pipes on toast, but if you eat it, even when you don't know it's the only true snack, you eventually get the conviction.

I happen to like Vegemite, but then I kinda knew what I was getting into the first time I sampled it. I listened to Men at Work's "Down Under" many times, and I had to try it out.

I also appreciate putting names to faces, and think Juliann looks like a very nice lady.

Overall, it pretty much looked like any LDS ward.
