You can't guess someone's religion just from a picture of them.

I watched John schizo Ebert's video on it, and he had some pretty interesting things to say. However the man is very into media, and I think he points that Pynchon was writing this book as a commentary on media to be a projection of his personal interest. I obviously cant prove this, but I don't think it is impossible.

Am I wrong? If 100 is the average, that means half of people are below. I am 103, meaning 3 points above the average. Meaning not only better than half of all the people below, but even some of those above. Therefore, better than half of the people and a bit more, meaning the majority. Am I wrong? I am not wrong, I am right, and quite proud of that fact in fact.

FEEDBACK ON JOKES IN JOKEBOOK I WROTE?

What did the Mormon girl do when she was offered a beer at her first frat party?

She pulled her pants back up and left indignantly.

I saw a Mormon family pull up to one of the free pumps at the gas station at the exactly same time as I did alongside another.

Two women and a man were in the car. When the man got out to start pumping gas, I couldn’t help but lean over and ask him, “What’s it like having two wives?”

He laughed, “The one in the back is my oldest.”

I said back to him, “That’s a really blunt thing to say about one of your wives.”

Day after debate held at BYU University discussing possible merits of state-wide cannabis legalization, Tribune headline reads: ‘LDS Elders concerned Marijuana could prove gateway drug to Coffee.’

Following a crackdown on profanity, rowdy young Mormon men are being asked not to play ‘Fuck / Marry / Kill’.

The Church would prefer they stick to ‘Marry / Marry / Marry’.

What’s the difference between a militant Mormon and a militant Muslim?

The Mormon gets his 72 virgins, before he kills himself.

Did you hear they’re using Mormons instead of live white rabbits in laboratory testing nowadays?

Apparently, they breed faster and get less emotionally attached!

Bro, the Mormons might claim to be the real native americans, but I think you're confused.

Here's what I learned today, looking back on what happened:

Writing had been one attempted Grill of mine. I tried gardening, reading, making model sailing ships out of icecream sticks, taxidermy, endurance walking, hiking, running, watching films. But very few Grills were staying with me for more than two weeks at most.

For some, very strange, reason the idea to write this book came back to me. And, having managed to bring myself to re-read what I wrote for the first time since I wrote it tonight, I do feel like not only did what I managed to articulate move my own personal discourse along (which is to say, provided some private "intellectual" benefit, or at the very least, *frisson*) but there is something to be learned from examining why I did the act of writing the book itself.

I think I'll continue to reflect on this point until I have more answers, and then a little bit longer.

Also worth noting, one other thing I distinctly remember about the idea which formed itself in my head; Firstly, the book ended up being titled *The Bumper Book of Mormon Humor*. Exactly that, for some reason, it was very important to me in the moment that the cover use the American spelling of 'humor'. This was vital. I mention that just in case you manage to see any meaning in that yourself.

Anyway, despite the fact the book (of course) hasn't actually been seen by anybody else yet, it still calms me to know that hypothetically, someone could read it since it's online now. If you want to read it (it is on the Kindle ebook store, and free for the Kindle Unlimited users, but money should never be a gatekeeper to media (much love to *r-slash BlackWolfFeed*) so if you really want to see what fell out of my brain during my last Wednesday Grill-sesh turned all-nighter manic writing episode, just DM me privately to ask for the book and when I wake up in roughly eighteen hours or so, I'll just email you a PDF copy if you would like.

Why am I like this? I'd most likely be happier if I weren't.

Take care people, I think there's *something* to be gleamed here.

Seriously though if they ''took over'' it would be 100% better than the dystopian nightmare that exists in our current reality.
