So why me-ish. (Sorry, krose.)
Well, I never! Take that back, you scoundrel!
I may have found the unintentional wet t-shirt contests in the baptismal font intriguing, but that doesn't mean I engaged in any 'light cotton' activities (if that's the connection you are making). Honestly, I probably would have been a better-adjusted youth if I had engaged in some levi-lovin' back then, rather than avoiding ever touching a girl, so Walmart may actually have a point with that one.

Ok. I take it back. It was a below-the-belt punch, anyway. My apologies, krose.
Yes, the cost of a Mormon youth in my past is not to have had the normal experiences of growing up.
Most people know Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, for his Alice In Wonderland and other related stories. Some people even know him as a mathmetician. What many people don't know is that he was also an avid and accomplished amateur photographer, using a very early form of photography called the wet-plate collodion process.
Among his many photographic subjects, one of his favorites was the real life inspiration for his famous Alice stories (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass), Alice Liddell. Following are some samples of his work
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco - To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei
