I'm terrible at poker! I don't make a good liar, and I hate to take a person for everything he/she is worth. . . that is why I hate Monopoly too. . . I always feel bad for the person who is losing to me!

My parents taught us that playing cards were "of the devil" and was a gateway to gambling, so I never learned to play.



My parents never taught that (of course, they were not church goers either). Perhaps that accounts for a different take on Mormonism. You were exposed to the unreasoning side.

Indeed, fair enough. Your family vacation is undoubtedly a place that would offend a President of the Melchizedek priesthood of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’m pleased that you recognize this. Oh, The Nehor, you are blessed and coming closer to reality.

You need help. This is definately not normal. Something is off. Oh my God, you are strange indeed.

That's because it's a calling, and well....sorry, you haven't been called. :'(

No, I think President Hinckley, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Heber J. Grant, and Harold B. Lee would have liked it.

You don't know the half of it.

I've lived in Utah for almost 30 years and have never been skiing.

Not only that, but I've never played golf.
