Before you know it, the spirit of Joseph Smith will tell you to go out and convert the other spirits into the Mormon faith, and not to come back until both Ghandi and Anne Frank have been converted.

Actually, this is not something to even joke about. Ghandi died praying to the god Rama and Ann Frank died solely because she was Jewish, so it very reprehensible to think their souls should be converted into another religion.

Sounds like a plan, DewDrop!!!! I'll be keeping an eye out for you.

I see. You'd rather hang with a couple of angels than with Dew and me.

I dasn't want to give either of your husbands any reason to be suspicious of my deep and abiding - albeit platonic - affection for you two.



Hence, at least part of the reason for my brow-waggling in the angels' direction...

If one of them winks back...maybe we could make a six-some and take turns at the machine. Pinball parties can be as much darn fun as bowling!

Why would Hindu or Jewish spirits be trying to convert people when they don't do it here on earth? Hopefully those nice, young Mormon women shook the dust off their feet when they left. The more I read about the way people treat these missionaries* the more I feel for them. It can't be a pleasant experience meeting someone with an "I dare them to come back" attitude.


*When they come to my door I say, "No thanks. Would you like a root beer?"
In Hikers defence I would have to say that if you are going to go door to door sharing your opinions, you have to expect that there will be people who will have opinions that differ from yours.
Of course you can be polite about it, but if your idea of hell is being in an afterlife full of people competing to convert you, then that opinion should be as equally respected should it not? I'm sure these Mormon missionaries fully expect to go out having some element of rejection and at least Hiker gave them the time of day and chatted with them.
NONE of us know what happens in the afterlife, if indeed there is one (unlikely) so one persons opinion is as good as the next persons.

Imagine if I went door to door with my atheist views and a little leaflet to hand out sharing my outlook on life. If I did that in about 70% of America, I'd probably be chased out of town with pitchforks.

Trout, if you're ever in New Jersey in this lifetime, check out this place near where I live. I had my daughter take me here for my birthday two years ago! It's so much fun. You pay one price (by the hour, or you buy an all-day pass) and then you play whatever machines you want. I had my daughter take a picture of me next to a wooden machine made in 1958, my birth year, then I played it.

Of course we'll drop the rope for you, MQ. Wouldn't be a party without you. Hopefully all of the Pinball Wizards know their invitation is a given.

MQ, that pinball museum looks great! I could probably spend a month there...trying to find the reflexes and hand/eye coordination I had in my 20s and 30s....
