theosib[/url]":3injorcf]I cannot in good conscience find the Mormon church to have any relevance to anything. It's a minor religion, an even more bizarre offshoot of already bizarre Christianity, with most of the members in a back-water western US state. Also, the mormon church was founded in recent history, making its mythology painfully easy to pick apart. Many of their rules don't make sense, like prohibitions on "hot drinks," including Cocacola. BYU's policies on granting tenure, even to devout Mormons, are bullshit.

BTW, Salt Lake City is a rather nice place. I went to a conference there once, and it was very nice to walk around the city.

Thanks for the compliment on the city, I like to hang out there quite a bit on my days off.

Though I can't help but feel like there is a bit of misinformation on what we believe as I sit here drinking a hot cup of Wassail. I also have a healthy appreciation for Coke and Pepsi, but I prefer Dr Pepper and Red Bull (though I know some in my faith do not share my affinity for energy drinks).

Rather than try to jump into the political/religious discussion I will leave you with my favorite breakfast meal.

The Breakfast of Champions

1 Bowl Honey Nut Cheerios
1 Blue edition Red Bull
1 Your favorite style of OJ
(NO MILK)

Mix Red Bull and OJ 50/50 over your Cereal and enjoy!

I'd say about 80% have liked it so far.

(But I support your right to eat it.)

Yes I will admit that it sounds disgusting, but it has a very pleasant tartness to the initial bite, that quickly fades in a sweet tangy flavor. Admittedly not for everyone, but a lot of my "foodie" friends have quite enjoyed it. Granted they took their first bite while standing near a sink or trash bin in anticipation of something absolutely disgusting.

I got turned onto OJ and Honey Nut Cheerios by a friend in the military. The Blue edition Red Bull resulted from one of those college dorm ideas where your sitting there and see a can of the stuff and think to yourself... "I wonder what it would taste like if I combined..."
