    Well, the guy didn't know I'm gay before we started talking.

      Don't Mormons have gaydar?
      There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        Sound like fun. In the summer of 1958, I stay with my Aunt. She lived just a few miles from the Runway at Castle AFB. Boy the B-52 and KC-135 were going over her house at about 300 to 400 feet. We could see into the wheel bay. One day a F-102 took off and as he pass over us he look down and saw my cousin and I waving to him. He wave back and then turn his 102 so we could see the afterburner and he lite it up and flew strait away from us and it was just about sun set. What a show.

          I liked the Air Force. At times, I think about had I stayed in; but then I remember, I wouldn't have the daughter that I have. Wouldn't want that to happen. Change one thing and you change all things that follow.

All I could think of when they were trying to inveigle me into praying and coming to a meeting, was what a threesome would be like with them, and if they were wearing their regulation Mormon underwear. There's a scene in, erm, an 'art' film called 'Buckleroos II', where pair of missionaries are.... shown some interesting rodeo routines by a cowboy. Very Tom Mix. Anyway...


            The two of 'em were very polite and well-spoken, but perhaps not the right ones to be trying to persuade a cynical atheist gay man to change his ways...

              I like you MrFun.

              But I'm not going to stop wishing for California to fall into the ocean.
              To us, it is the BEAST.

                Mr Fun isn't gay??
                Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

                Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                  Superficially, yes, but you can only be so polite when you tell somebody they're going to hell.

                  I don't even answer them anymore. Just shut the door before they start talking. Saves everyone time.

                    It's a shame you don't have as much dignity as MrFun, Asher.

                      People who have dignity don't go door to door trying to brainwash you.

                      I consider religion to be a personal matter and I consider proselytizers rude, condescending, and insulting regardless of their manners.

                      Are you also unfailingly polite to telemarketers?

                        How much "dignity" do you have when dealing with spam emails and telemarketers?

                          Are you that hard up for a pretty girl to chat with you that you consider a proselytizer a great oppertunity?

                                You don't get the magic underwear until you are married, or sealed, in the temple. So, no, they weren't wearing it.

                                ACK!
