M_'s “castle.”
taken at temple square in SLC. those mormons are pretty serious about their architecture. G-to-the-O-T-H-I-C!
and see those cards M_ is holding in each hand? while wandering around the square we ran into some mormon greeter-types who presented M_ with a postcard-sized picture of the building seen here, which she was THRILLED with. she ran around in circles, chanting: “ITS MY CASTLE! ITS MY CASTLE!!”
the mormons seemed amused.
later, as we walked past them on our way out, they offered M_ the second card: an image of JESUS (which of course proved not as exciting to M_ as the “castle”, THANK GAWD).
but see, that's how they getcha: start off with the castle to warm em' up, and then slip em' the jesus. GOOOOOAAAAALLL!

My dad isn't mormon, but he's always slipping people The Jesus wherever he goes through those little "pamphlets" that have illistrated stories of how you'll burn in hell if you don't accept Jesus.
Those mormons are pretty slick, though.

WHEE COMMENTS REMEMBER ME! *touchdown dance*
Dude, those chik tracts are hilarious. My friend vince's folks slip them in his luggage every time he visits. Which is, obviously, less frequently every year. HEY your blog ad has a picture of JEEBUS right now. His beard is almost as dudely as my BF's.

JESUS IS WATCHING ME WRITE THIS COMMENT AND JUDGING MY SOUL.

p.s. don't change nothin' i find the tension between blog and ad ideologies fascinating. even (gag) postmodern.
hey, is blog ideology "blogeologogy"? (or, to be more pomo "blogeologIES"?)

So funny you are. I called it on the Jesus picture when M_ walked into our front door, didn't I? Well, actually I thought she only got the Jesus, but a castle too, WOW!
Hey, I owes you and email. Today has been crazy and I be pulling my hair out about now. Talk to you soon.

beth, M_ is still in possession of the jesus picture. i'm going to just call it the "pretty man" and leave it at that (we're heathens, she'll be none the wiser).
