Filibuster

Had a great Sacrament Meeting today. Oh man.

The first speaker (a girl in the ward) went the whole time. Bumped the other speaker to next week. She wasn't really boring, though, because she peppered in things that didn't seem like they belonged in a talk. Among them:
  • the phrase "the bee's knees"
  • a quote from The Princess Bride
  • the word "acronym-ious"
  • "Surfin' USA," by the Beach Boys, sung.
One of the best parts of it was that she was clearly shortening it, too. She'd look at the clock, then down at her notes--then she'd flip 3 or 4 pages and pick up somewhere else. I think that, uninhibited, she'd have gone on for two Sacrament Meetings.

I'm sure the bishopric was having fits. But I sure enjoyed it.
