[08:42:41] <chromas> Bing magically correlates Jean Shepherd (writer/narrator of A Christmas Story) with The God Makers but I haven't been able to find him in imdb or whatnot
[08:42:54] <chromas> But he sounds like the narrator in the cartoon I think

[08:43:33] <systemd> ^ 03The GodMakers - BANNED MORMON CARTOON
[08:43:52] <chromas> "This is the Mormon explanation for the negro race" —best quote evar
[08:46:17] <chromas> Hmm, an official Red Ryder B gun plus billions of spirit children produced through endless celestial sex?
[08:51:27] <Plogue> Put your Thetans back in your pants, chromas!
[08:51:38] <chromas> What pants?
[08:51:57] -!- Plogue has quit []
[08:52:24] <chromas> I'm just excited that I finally 'figured out' who the narrator was, even thoughI can't find anything saying it's actually the same guy
[08:52:40] <chromas> oh did ari leave? oh noe3s!
[08:53:34] <chromas> So apparently that cartoon is a subset of a bigger movie
[08:54:26] <chromas> > Let me sum up this comments section for you.
[08:54:26] <chromas> "> This is not what Mormons believe"
[08:54:26] <chromas> > "This is exactly what Mormons believe"
[09:23:19] <FatPhil> That's not a "banned mormon cartoon", it's a propagandist anti-mormon cartoon made by ex-mormons that both mormons and non-mormons objected to.

[09:42:53] <FatPhil> i think the comments you quote are South Park quotes
[09:45:29] <FatPhil> I didn't know the connection between Moronism and Battlestarwars Gallactica
[09:48:51] <FatPhil> Kolob/Kobol - subtle
[09:49:28] <FatPhil> neve seen BG
[10:03:52] <chromas> Yeah, not banned, but still hilarious
[10:04:58] <chromas> The important thing is, the narrator sounds like Jean Shepherd, even though he doesn't seem to be named anywhere
[10:13:12] <FatPhil> it just makes me wonder if joseph smith ever had aspirations to be a sci-fi/fantasy writer.
[10:16:03] <FatPhil> who ended his life in a more desirable state of wellbeing - smith or hubbard?
[10:16:15] <FatPhil> one may have had more millions, the other may have had more concubines

[14:30:20] <progo> guinness guinness guinness. did they pay for that ad in BBC, or was it free publicity?
[14:31:35] <progo> reminds me of biking with coworkers in Boston years ago: we biked across the city and stopped in a pub in Quincy for refreshments. 95 pound Indian girl Gaytri orders a pint of stout. drinks it in about 5 minutes. "Okay, let's go!" -- "Are you sure? You're okay to get back on the bike after that?" "Yep!"
[14:31:45] <progo> fortunately nothing bad happened after that

[18:55:12] <FatPhil> progo: technically, the BBC should add a disclaimer "other stouts are available in Ireland", because it does look rather like advertising.
[18:55:50] <FatPhil> However, the premiership is a commercial entity, as are all of the premiership clubs, and they have a whole section devoted to naming them.
[18:59:23] <progo> I looked up my crazy drunk biking friend. apparently after she went back to India to wander and be a mountain hiking guide, she moved back into her family farm, is promoting anti-Monsanto anti-pesticide food production and got featured in a feel-good article in Verge in 2019
[18:59:24] <progo> neat

[19:01:03] <FatPhil> anything anti-monsanto's good in my book.
[19:01:18] <progo> Fedex delivered my package to the WeWork I'm at, and signed for it. 4 hours later, it still haven't actually been handed to WeWork by Fedex, who always comes right to the WeWork front desk with deliveries
[19:01:18] -!- lilitsyunetsi [lilitsyunetsi!~lilitsyun@178.160.ntr.vs] has joined #soylent
[19:01:23] <progo> I hate it when Fedex lies to me
[19:01:51] <progo> I don't know why my company uses Fedex, except maybe all choices are this bad
[19:02:45] <FatPhil> we've had DHL post a "you were out" note while we were in. I think the fact that there are 2 doorbells on our staircase entrance confused them
[19:03:05] <progo> Fedex does that as standard operating procedure for residential deliveries in NYC
[19:03:14] <progo> they state that they attempted delivery, and never did
[19:04:31] <FatPhil> Sane couriers phone when they're leaving the depot, or after their previous drop.
