FINALLY, IN ONE VOLUME:
ALL THE MORMON NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT!
“This is the most correct book since the Book of Mormon. It’s even truer than the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” —Elder Bennett McConkie Wirthlin
Salt Lake City (July 8, 2006)—Mormons . . . you gotta love ’em. From the gingham baskets full of scones they leave on your doorstep (along with a Book of Mormon), to their incomprehensible rules about beverages (coffee no, hot chocolate yes), members of one of the world’s fastest-growing religions can be found in every school, workplace, Costco, dollar store, and—well, perhaps not in every tavern.
Are you a Mormon observer who’s curious about what really goes on deep inside the LDS culture? Or are you a Mormon insider who suspects you’re not getting the full story from KSL, the Deseret Morning News, and the Ensign news section?
Now there’s a news source for you. Staffed by a team of crack reporters and columnists, The Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer reports the stories that are too offbeat, dangerous, and—worst of all—inappropriate for the mainstream news outlets. Here’s a brief sampling:
SpongeBob Receives Mission Call
BYU Offers Scrapbooking Degree
Poll Reveals Majority of Men “Highly Satisfied” with Patriarchy
Gay Polygamists Make Bid for Legitimacy
All-Seeing Eye Proposed for Church Office Building
Gladys Knight to Release “Midnight Train to Kolob”
Advice from the Mormon Psychic
Not only does this volume collect some of the best reportage from The Sugar Beet website and newsletter (a Mormon version of The Onion), but it also features all-new punctuation and new material that’s never appeared elsewhere. Remember, we never said it would be easy, we just said it would be funny!

Sounds like a fun book!!!
What happened to your blog title? Any explanation for the change?
I was just a little tired of the old title, but I may change back sometime soon. Does anyone recognize where the new title comes from?
sounds like a lot of fun.
Cool, and congratulations! I vaguely remember something about how, as a contributor, I get a free copy....? I really look forward to seeing the finished product.
Very interesting..
