Brandt Gardner saves Border Books!

[_Joey]

If only Borders had this one on their shelves earlier - Chapter 11 would have been prevented! Oh well, looks like a banner year for the Olivewood bookstore in Provo. Only in Provo!

I just shredded my Borders rewards card yesterday. Oh, well.

As Chapter 11 becomes Chapter 7 according to the news.

You have to admit that this new approach to the translation process was rather ingenious: That the crystalline lattice structure of the Seer Stone acted as the source of data storage and the hat served as a Kindle. This is as pure as Occam's razor gets.

"Only in Provo"?

I remain . . . er, puzzled by Joey's odd fixation on Provo.

Brant Gardner (not, by the way, Brandt Gardner) served a mission in Spain. He did his graduate studies at the State University of New York. He focuses on Mesoamerica. He lives in New Mexico. His book was published in Draper.

Why bring up Provo?

Plainly, the connection to Provo is something that little folk like me just can't understand. It's a mystery accessible only, I think, to Fortune 500 CEOs, to fabulously successful hommes d'affaires like Joey -- something that one apparently learns through travel to exotic, sophisticated centers of culture like Las Vegas and through signing payroll checks.

Wait a second.... Borders went under? Damn.... Did they have any discount book sales?

His book was published in Draper.

Would that be East Draper or West Draper? I understand most of the more "recognized" publishers are in East Draper.

LMAO!

Man, you sure seem to know what it takes to defeat the contents of a published work, huh?

Joey is too busy with his responsibilities as a Captain of Industry to trouble himself with so silly a matter as "substance."

Whatever part of Draper it's in, it's not in any part of Draper called Provo.

How, incidentally, do you find the time to post here, even as much as you do, between board meetings of Ford and General Electric and Nokia and Siemens and Toyota and your duties as CEO, CIO, CFO, and chairman of Megahuge International?

I know that I'm awed by your participation here, and I suspect that I'm not alone.

What is your personal opinion of Gardner's theses concerning the method of translation of the Book of Mormon? It seems as though he and Royal Skousen are pretty much on opposite ends of a spectrum when it comes to the question.
