When you asked me this, did you imagine what an answer would look like? Can I fit it into a blog post comment? I guess I could squeeze it down to specific things that Kirby has written that made me gratuitously uncomfortable. The Oct. 16, '07 article on pumpkins made me verrry uncomfortable. I didn't ever get so offended that I took notes. More like I laughed and was way less offended than by South Park.gumballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976244415135719734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13324551.post-40693559200690455012007-10-24T14:51:00.000-04:002007-10-24T14:51:00.000-04:00Ali - It's always reassuring to hear that other pe...Ali - It's always reassuring to hear that other people skipped portions of Conference too. <BR/><BR/>Melbo - Amen.<BR/><BR/>Christovich79 - A delightful blast from the past.

He crosses my personal line almost never, and as a humorist immersed in Mormon culture that's an amazing feat. I've read some of his stuff to others, and waited for their reactions. They have, thus far, agreed completely with his wit and wisdom. So consider this a thanks for the introduction many years ago.gumballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976244415135719734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13324551.post-81325113478551685532007-10-22T15:28:00.000-04:002007-10-22T15:28:00.000-04:00I think we should all thank Kirby for teaching Mor...I think we should all thank Kirby for teaching Mormons to laugh at themselves.

I think he is funny and people who take him too seriously are just sad. I didn't hear that talk in conference so I am glad you pointed it out.
