More, mon.

[livejournal.com profile] leapfish and I were just approached by two Mormons. Not sure what they're being punished for to get assigned to downtown Kitchener. It was the very first time I've been spoken to by one, if I recall correctly.

The first one invited us to church tomorrow.

"No thanks."

The second one was a little more obvious. "Hey guys! (spreads arms) I'm a Mormon. I'm actually teling people about the Saviour."

"No thanks. We actually just saw your friend on the other corner."

They fit perfectly into my Mormon-attractiveness-scale theory: big city, hot; small city: not hot; medium-size city: not unhot, but also not hot.

We should have told them we were gay. I've heard stories about required reactions on their part.

Should have pointed to the other half and said "No, I've got better plans; we've got to fuck each other silly. But have fun in church for me."

'splain required reactions. Do they dance?

[livejournal.com profile] jpman has a story I think, and another friend told them he was bi and they stopped talking to him. The problem was he was blocking the doorway for them to exit his home, so they had to ignore him. For a long time.

I have many stories. Many, many stories. Do you know how many Mormon's live in Northern Maine? Many. And they all lived in the apartment behind me. I swear to god it was a Mormon flop-house.

But Nathan's is, by far, the best one I've heard.

Two demerits for incorrect apostrophization. I get one demerit for making up the word apostrophization.

Yeah, ok, Mormons. Not sure why I even put the apostrophe there.

The concept of a Mormon flop-house is one that I still can't quite process.

Every few weeks they would change, in groups of three. I think they had a hive mind though, because they would always nod at me in a familiar way.

BTW, I think you should lose another point for even pointing out the mistake. It's the Saturday night of a long weekend -- let loose and throw your apostrophes around carelessly!

Oops -- this was me

No problem. LJ errors don't get demerit points.

You've got a bit of a growing scope of items that don't require correct punctuation. :) Is that a common teacher trait?

Only when doing irrelevant things like posting on LJ, and MSN Messenger. In writing that matters, we pay attention.

Were they wearing the standard white shirt and professional name tag?

Of course!

One of my fellow grad students is Mormon. I suspect they sent him to a small city.

The BF's former roommate once had a three-way with the Mormons who came to his door...

Now *that's* hot.

yeah well -- ;)

my flat mate's sister's husband's cousin's dog saw them having the three-way.
