The Holy Grail

Historians generally recognize eight crusades between 1096 and 1270. They fail to recognize, however, the numerous minor crusades taking place all over the world as North American missionaries seek out peanut butter throughout all sorts of foreign lands.

Samson's Rock, Paper, Scissors

By my count, this is the fourth Samson gag I've done on this website and the second rock, paper, scissors gag I've done. Yeah, I've been at this for a while!

Timely Critique of 1970s Latter-day Saint Musical Theater

Preach it, Elder Toms!

Homecoming Talk

Just think of the homecoming talk Paul could have given!*

*If he'd only managed to live through his missions, that is.

Great Moments in Latter-Day Saint Cinema

I have shared my affinity for The Phone Call already many times on this website.  If you haven't already, please watch this classic short film as soon as possible. (Possibly for tonight's Family Home Evening.) I'm convinced that the makers of Napoleon Dynamite either consciously or subconsciously took liberally from this beloved film!*

Cipher in the Snow, though, is and has always been trash.

*Not only that but it stars Marc McClure who played both Jimmy Olsen in the Christopher Reeve's Superman movies and Marty McFly's big brother in Back to the Future!

Every Deacon's New Favorite Scripture

When we talk about how the Church is the same everywhere, we are also talking about the fact that you pull up the internet in any building using the same username (liahona) and password (alma3738).*

*At least, that's been my experience.

Missionary Pop Culture Blind Spots

Even the most pop culture savvy missionary cannot possibly keep up with the pop culture going on during his or her mission (nor, would they). During my mission, for example, the TV show Friends premiered. As a result, to this day I've never understood what the appeal to that show is. Maybe if I'd been there.

Incidentally, when I first drew this particular gag, the references were already old. Now a decade later, they are practically ancient.
