Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I just wanted to share the amusement and time-waster that is the Garfield Randomizer:

5. Whistler's name: http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=39099 4. Indoor Lightning: http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=39078 3. "Search the Archives:" http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=39088 2. Orphan: http://theboard.byu.edu/index.ph...

And I'd vote for "other," anyway.

Fred can.

http://fborfw.com/news/002696.php Lynn Johnston’s popular comic strip “For Better or For Worse” begins a new phase Monday, Sept. 3, as character Michael Patterson looks through a family photo album with his 5-year-old daughter, Meredith. With this strip, Michael begins retelling the Patterson ...

So what does everyone think of the new hybrid format?

I just remembered that my (now 13-year-old) brother played Frederick in PoP in sixth grade. It's a good thing they didn't do the kiss scene! That is just . . . an odd thought, as indifferent as he is towards girls.

I liked K&G's response to this one

note the "embarrassed" (I would add "ashamed") next to my assertion of having read lots of LDS fiction. This was a phase of mine, when I was, say, 14. Oh, and to Katya: I never got far enough into it, probably---but am I the only one who thinks Book 1 is unnecessarily expository ...

I read for character development. Maybe that's what kept me coming back to the Mo-Fiction: they were at least attempting to portray what it is like to be LDS, something I can relate to. That's why I don't like Emma and am struggling through Mansfield Park : Emma is an absolute witch/brat and Fanny i...

As far as more "fluff" books, I love comic strip collections. Calvin and Hobbes is always a classic: it's so interesting the way he actually makes the strips (esp. the Sunday fantasy ones) a piece of art and not just stick figures. Gotta love the Far Side for its offbeat humor. Also have r...

I should probably clarify that I have friends from my home ward that are quite literally the poster children of HP fanaticism. As in, the Daily Universe interviews one in particular . . . every year . . . she skipped school to go to a HP convention back east . . . we are talking HARD-CORE, just like...

I am certainly not one to think that everything good has to be highbrow. I'm the For Better or For Worse nut, remember? But I think the Harry Potter series is, quite simply, overrated. They have been lauded as books that got people who would never have read to read: well, I am a person who loves to ...

I guess my whole point was that mabel said "they set aside the superficial differences" and I just wanted to say that height is not the only way in which you can be superficial: for instance, I don't care how wonderful, smart, talented, spir'ch'l a guy is, I do not take a glance if he has ...

Mabel, my boyfriend is 10 inches taller than me: is this significant enough to be "an unusual height difference"? (Yes, I'm sure some tall girls would look at me and think, Hey, Shorty, go date someone your own size! Oh well.) Does everyone think height or age differences are less acceptab...

I enjoyed several questions yesterday. http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=38422 (name changes / marriage) I already mentioned that I especially liked steen's answer on this one, since I have had personal experience in the resulting confusion. http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area...

Both my great-grandma and mom married men younger than themselves (three and two years, respectively). My grandma's second husband was 16 years old than her. Yikes! The average difference for my boyfriends has been 11 months older than me. I think that the whole concept that girls are so much more m...

rAIn. As in, if you were going to watch a parade, you would want clear skies. Neither you nor the rose-petal floats want to be drenched.

Hmmm . . .anyone else agree with me that while having an S.O. is great and all, that it is not necessarily less complicated , and even perhaps more so? Maybe I just don't have that innate need for a boyfriend shared by so many 'round here, yet they seem to keep popping up. Or, that I am the type of ...
