Moksha,
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Looks like a great episode. I'll have to watch for when this is going to air.
Interesting mention of Sherlock Holmes. I've always found it amusing that such a literary hero who's famous the world over would find us harmless little Mormons as his villians.
again, thanks

I don’t know if this is the same episode I watched about a year ago. If it is; one of the funniest things to me was how disappointed the lady looked when she found out that the sordid tale(s) wasn’t true.

They needed Terryl Givens to tell them that? Some "detectives."

You make it sound like my unnatural infatuation -- and by extension, my need to use any means necessary to gain an audience -- with Prof. Givens is somehow my fault.
As if.

I don't think it's your fault, Stu. I think you were born that way. It's just the challenge you've been given in life.

I invited Prof. Givens to be my guest to a recent Kiss-in Protest. I was heartbroken when he declined...
er, I mean... FOOTBALL and GUNS!

Stuuby Dooby Doo, there are you!
I was just a lookin' for you, but I see you've been busy Stuing over Terryl Givens. That's alright. I'm in Boogie Wonderland with Jared.
To the topic: Everybody knows there's female life among the Mormons. I'm more interested in discovering android life among them. I also think most Mormon pets may be electronic.
