OK, OK, OK. Will someone please explain ‘green jello’ for the poor atheist?
Starting tomorrow, sugarbear - enjoy me while you can!

SPOOFE, you realize that now you’ve revealed the secret practices of Mormons to the world, that you’ll be killed and all signs of your existence erased.
Sorry, man.
Pepperlandgirl, call Pres. Hinckley and let him know that he have another “hush-up” job to perform.
Sugarbear?
Sugarbear?!
Oh, so I’ve converted you, eh? Yup, [puffs up cockily] no one can resist my sexy allure. It’s both a blessing and a curse.
But I’m sorry, Esprix. You’re just not my type. Be strong, the stinging pain of my rejection will eventually fade. Just give it a decade or two.
Beaker, I’ll call Pres. Hinkley ASAP!!!
Doug, honestly, I don’t know what the deal is with green jello. I’m not sure how it all got started, or why it’s huge now. I think the runner-up to green jello is orange jello with lil marshmallows in it.
Hey, since there seems to be a shitload of Utahns posting in this thread, I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in a mini-Dopefest in SLC this year.
I’m in and out of the city a bunch, and will be spending several days there for a conference in November. I know it’s a long way off, but I sure wouldn’t mind getting together with some of y’all when I’m there.
yep sounds like another job for the Danites, ie the "angels’.
There is a Sherlock Holmes case (above-mentioned) that has to do with Mormons and secret societies and murder. It has been years since I read it but I may do so again. Anyone familiar with it?
I once belonged to RLDS, the branch that stayed in Nauvoo, Illinois, when Joseph Smith was murdered and Brigham Young struck out for the West. The green jello must be an LDS only thing. Good thing, because I’m vegetarian and there aren’t many vegetarian jellos on the market.
I don’t know what the story is with green jell-o (although I can… ah… “research” the topic, much like I researched my above post :D).
However, I DO know that all officially-sanctioned Mormon parties must have green jell-o as the main course, and red punch as the beverage.
However, donuts and/or brownies may be present.
In addition, whenever a high-ranking Mormon throws a dinner party, it’s required by doctrine for him to serve “toilet-seat-sized” steaks (why the need to compare the steaks to toilet seats is beyond me).
Byz - I am in total agreement that Utah is the eye-candiest state in the lower 48.
Now - Here’s my spin on Mormons.
I imagine a bunch of white men sitting around a nearly empty bottle of booze one night.
Joseph: Hey, let’s start our own religion!
Brigham: Cool. Lets come up with some goofy rules.
Joseph: I’ll go first. How about… We get as many wives as we want!
Everyone: Good one… Cool… I like it
Brigham: My turn. OK OK OK Everybody has to give us 10% of everything they make. BEFORE TAXES!
Everyone: Way cool!!
Joseph: Back to me. How about this. Secret underwear.
Everyone: Kinky!
Brigham: We’ll send all the eighteen year olds away for two years. Let them annoy other people.
Everyone: That works…
Joseph: We’ll move to the desert and gather around a lake with water that’s too salty to drink or swim or fish in.
Everyone: Silence…
Crickets chirping…
Somewhere a moth farts…
Everyone: (Whispering) He keeps spouting shit like that, someone’s going to murder his ass.
You mean nineteen.
And the “moving to the desert” idea was Briggy’s, weenie, not Joe’s.
And Briggy only moved them to the desert AFTER the mobs of Illinois burned down their city and the temple.
But, frankly, you gotta really ponder why they came here… promised land?
What was the promise?
Yeah, it’s beautiful but uh… the Salt Lake isn’t good for much except mining salt. 
I mention moths farting in a post and the best you can do is criticize my facts?!
Byz - how 'bout the smell of brine shrimp roasting in the open sun. They must have loved that.
Of course, it is the only place in the world where the lake-effect snow salts the roads as it falls.
