.........I have to admit I'm a little disappointed we never got to see the laundry room when DeVos was being built.

The laundry room might be the best in the history of d3.

Nice! I now eagerly anticipate a season filled with remarks about the Olivet laundry room. Nobody knows how to ride a cliche hard and put it away soaking wet the way that you MIAAers do.

But of course.  So when fans start chanting "laundry room" at an Olivet game, will it have the same impact as when it was chanted during free throws by Jeremy Veenstra?

I noticed the "Miracle Mason" memorial paver in one of the photos... His birthday was just the other day.

Sorry, FDF, but that one flew right over my head. Was there some laundry-related incident that led Hope fans to mock Jeremy Veenstra thus?

Oh.

The mind reels at the possibilities contained therein for a clever and well-organized student section.

I was going to make a smart-alecky remark using the term "fluff-and-fold", but I should probably quit while I'm behind.

that would be nice if you did that

Inoffensive neutrality is not an endemic North Dakota trait. I know a retired Covenant pastor who grew up in the small North Dakota farming community of Cooperstown. It consisted of about a thousand people, half of them German-Americans and the other half Norwegian-Americans. Everyone in Cooperstown was a Lutheran, but the village nevertheless had two Lutheran churches. He swears that the reason why is because the German-Americans believed that it was OK to drink beer but that women shouldn't wear makeup in church, while the Norwegian-Americans were against beer drinking but believed that it was OK for women to wear makeup in church.

That right there is why I stopped going to church.

Reminds me of  a church that split in two arguing over their mural of the Garden of Eden.  Half the church demanded that Adam & Eve have belly buttons (we are all created in God's image), and the other half demanded that they did not have belly buttons (they were never born).  Humans can really be stupid sometimes!!

Or the joke where the shipwrecked guy was rescued from the remote, uninhabited island.  As they were leaving the island, the boat captain noticed 3 buildings, so he asked the man he had rescued what they were.  He replied, "That's my house, my church, and the church I used to go to."

Because of beer-drinking churchgoers or because of the women in church who were wearing makeup?

God has a bellybutton? Is this some bit of Reformed theology of which I'm unaware?

The way I heard that joke was:

An American bomber was shot down in the South Pacific during WWII. The four surviving crewmen managed to inflate a raft and reach a deserted island. After building a shelter for themselves out of palm fronds, they decided to thank God for saving them from what had appeared to be certain death. However, they could not agree upon how to do this, so one of them went off to one corner of the island and built a little lean-to out of palm fronds that he called "St. Peter's Catholic Church". A second crewman went to another corner of the island and built a lean-to that he called "Temple Beth-El". A third crewman went to still another corner of the island and built a lean-to that he called "First Baptist Church". And the fourth crewman went to the remaining corner of the island and built a lean-to that he called "Second Baptist Church".

(My uncle who is a Baptist minister loved that joke.)

Well if I'm created in his image I guess He does   

Saddest thing about this story is that it is true
