This weekend is the annual Southern Decadence weekend. They may be praying for 40 days and 40 nights straight, when they get back to Utah.

They travel very well. Never seen so many bicycles.*
Gotta feel for the BYU fans then ... Southern Decadence weekend is certainly something I'd never like to witness. It's aptly named.
Bless them all. I don't think everyone understands what the southern decadence is and to be honest I wish I didn't. Unfortunately I do, due to being in New Orleans on Labor Day weekend and seeing in it first hand. It's hard to explain to your young daughters why a scantly dressed man is leading another scantly dressed man in a dog leash down Bourbon street. For those that don't really know what it is about here is the website. http://www.southerndecadence.net
True Story:
I was around 22, single, still bumming off my parents and was washing my car one summer day when these two extremely attractive girls walk up my driveway and ask if I wanted to talk about God. I'm talking girl next door beautiful. I'm thinking maybe I can turn this into my advantage so I talk to them about 10 minutes and they're all smiles, laughing at my jokes, talked about BYU and Utah and then one of them says "Hey, we'd love to come back by tonight and talk some more if that's ok?".
I'm thinking "Yahtzee!". Sure, girls, I'll see y'all tonight.
About 6 that night the doorbell rings. I'm excited. I jump up, open the door and there before me stood two dudes. Two goofy looking dudes. I'm like, "Hey, where are the girls?" And the lead goof says "Oh, they asked us to drop by and finish your talk about God." I sighed heavily and mumbled "Bait and switch."
I slammed the door.
The End.
There is over 15 Million Mormons in the world and 30,000 living in Mississippi. I am one and trust me they are not as naive as you making them out to be.
Most of you are probably Baptist and let me point out that Freeze is one of your representatives.
Good Choice! If I wasn't Mormon I would probably be Catholic.
I do want to point out that I do not pull for BYU. In fact I activity pull against them in sports. Both my wife brothers graduated from BYU and a little over the top since the lost back in the early 2000.
Everything I know 'bout religion, I got from South Park.**

I'm not familiar with Southern Decadence weekend, what is it?
Good One!
I am glad the church drop that back in the 1890's. Lord knows I don't want two. Little known fact you couldn't just marry as many as you wanted. You were asked by the church to Marry a second wife. Also and I am not sure but the first wife had to agree. Some of the BYU lurkers and verify that. It was a calling and only worthy males would be asked. Two reasons, one to populate the church the second many of the husbands were being killed off by those who hated Mormons in Missouri, Illinois and New York. When they decided to Move west you had a lot of widows with children who needed a husband to get them across the great plains to Utah.
One other thing up until 1950 or so you could drink beer, smoke tobacco and still be a worthy member. My family membership in the church goes back to my great great grand father who served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. I have photo of them smoking pipes.
