That is the single most bizarre paragraph I have ever read in my life.

What. The. Heck.

Is that like Norway's version of "The Wiggles"? Do they even speak English, or are they just singing phonetically?


Dude, that was awesome.

Utah Metal Works.
University of Mary Washington.
United Mine Workers.
United Methodist Women.

A search doesn't seem to turn up much at all about Mormon Women.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Clearly this is it. The Methodists have infiltrated the LDS infrastructure.

The climax is when they finally escape the troll's clutches and finish the new propeller to save the oldest elf.
