What? No prize?

Well I’ll forgive the metablogging, but for only one reason: you didn’t apologize nor “promise to do better.” I think approximately 43% of all blog posts out there contain something along those lines.

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine? A crummy commercial?!

Oh, dear - this is one of those tests where I prove my lack of mettle and tip my hand to my inherent laziness, huh?

not to imply that I’m not a true believer, but I thought I’d mention that you’re also left with those that added you to their feed reader before you stopped blogging.

It’s about time. Those of us that use RSS feeds were getting bored.

You call that a post?!!

That was the Amishrobot equivalent of “Site under construction”—which is, by the way, the answer to the secret code.

Must I do everything around here?!!

Not to go post-modern, but you are meta-blogging about meta-blogging.

Well I may not be a true believer, I would feel confidant describing myself as amish robotics agnostic.

dawg, you got straight dissed! …that’ll teach you to update!

To My Friends of Faith,,,, on an unrelated topic that requires our attention….

Recently a friend at our church brought this “film” to my attention. Her son apparently was sent this web link from someone.

It’s a movie clip (that has been recently released, or is about to,,, I’m not sure),, anyway, it depicts Mormons as flesh eating ghouls, and it is just awful. www.thebookofzombie.com

On behalf of myself and my husband, and our Mormon friends, I would like to make sure that young people are NOT subjected to this terrible conception of our faith.

please let me know if you are able to help.

regards, Betty Toms

Betty,

While I have no intention of watching the film, this is the kind of thing that is only benefited by protest. Your running around posting links to their site will only generate more traffic and buzz for them.

I really think we could stand to be a whole lot more thick skinned.

Here’s a quote I found from the director.

“For me I never had an agenda in writing the script with this subject matter. I took on the task of writing a screenplay based on as simple of a concept as: they’re Mormons… and they’re zombies. Personally, I chummed around with a guy in high school who was Mormon. Of course, he didn’t follow much of what was preached to him. I remember being fascinated by his parents though. I was unaware of the rules concerning caffeine/alcohol/sex/underwear. My buddy would always tell me about the restrictions placed upon him, and I was obviously floored by the fact that the dude couldn’t have a Coke. What I also learned from this union was that his parents were very loving, supportive people… and that’s kind of my whole experience with Mormons throughout my life is that they are warm people. Kind of stuffy… but warm.”

Heavy on the nerd, light on the clever.

How about Monday for Lunch. I can meet you in Provo.

OK, I responded too quickly to “betty”. Betty clearly is one of the film makers or someone closely affiliated with them. The multiple commas and bizarre pseudo mormon terminology should have been giveaways. I didn’t realize that fake betty had spammed the entire internet with the same message.

Yay! I’m a clever little nerd! It’s okay, though, lunch not required…
