10. You can't remember which ones are the lying dirtbags and which ones are the two-faced hypocrites.
9. When Gordon B. Hinckley is asked about it, he says, "It's behind us. These little blips and flecks of history are in the past."
8. You miss Hammer's "Satan" posts.
7. Gandhi and Mother Teresa are reported to have argued about the "edited Gee post" way back in 1947.
6. The new edition of The Godmakers explains the Satanic origins of the MA&D moderators' screen names.
5. This month's FROB reviews Brent Metcalfe's collection of essays: New Perspectives on the Gee/Graham Affair, 3rd Ed.
4. RfM seems like a friendly place to hang out.
3. You need two shots of tequila before you can handle reading MDB or MA&D.
2. You're almost ready to go back to church because nobody there has ever heard of John Gee.
1. You can't remember how it all started.

Ah, I see you covered yourself there! I'm still trying to figure out if it was "blips" or "flecks." I need to know! What if I want to quote him some day and I do it incorrectly?

Here's the relevant quotes:
Now, there'll be a blip here, a blip there, a mistake here, a mistake there. But by and large the welfare of women and children is as seriously considered as is the welfare of the men, in this church, if not more so.
It's behind us. Look, that's behind us. Don't worry about those little flecks [the word is uncertain, but I heard "flecks"] of history.

LOL! I love your top ten here, Runtu!
I think we should nickname you the David Letterman of MDB. I can almost hear the window crash sound effect after reading each number.
;)

By the way, I was going to post this over on the other board, but after rereading their board guidelines, I'm about 90% sure this thread would be in violation. Oh, well. Glad you guys enjoyed it.

Humor is frowned on there.

Ahhh... finally it all makes sense why I'm allowed to post there. ;-)

I wish John W. would post them at MAD. Of course, Runtu can always do the A material here first.
