Bad Ideas that BYU affiliates have come up with

Top Ten Bad Ideas that BYU Affiliates Have Come Up With

10) Using the online BYU student directory as a dating service. We learn from experience that the a chemistry major is not necessarily intelligent, just like a PE major isn't necessarily attractive.

9) Break-The-Fasts. A person can OD on funeral potatoes.

8) Using fast and testimony meeting as a personal ad. The fact that you've been the Elder's Quorum president, have had one hundred percent home teaching for three years, and are Elder John H Groberg's nephew does not necessarily exude an aura of 'dateability.'

7) Male classical ballerinas. You can't tell me that tights, used in such a manner, aren't against the honor code.

6) Signing up for seventeen credits with the intention of listening to lectures through the baby monitor while chasing small infants down the hallway outside of the classroom. I understand where you're coming from, but, c'mon guys. Let's be realistic here. And yes, you really SHOULD worry if your child's first word is "superego."

5) Holding Elder's quorum in the anatomy and physiology classroom. There's nothing like a three-dimentional, anatomically correct model of the female body with removable parts to take the spirit right out of the meeting.

4) Family home evening groups. The radom pairing of marriage-happy student ward members into a pseudo family with a mother, father, and children has ghastly sociological implications.

3) 'Mormon Rock'. I don't want to hear a line like "whenever I hear the song of a bird" or "singing, singing, all the day, give away, oh give away" accompanied by electric guitars. When I have to listen to it, I feel sorry for people who grew up in the 60's.

2) The SFLC. Not only was it pronounced, "syphillis;" Walking down the hallway and looking at the advertisments and displays was like attending seven homemaking meetings and listening to 32 relief society lessons.

1) The number one bad idea that byu affiliates have come up with is the Clyde building. What goes on in there? Not many women know. But one thing I know: the lobby smells like chicken soup and fish sticks. I think it's because so many poor young men spend whole years of their life there without stopping long enough to take a shower.

Thank you for this blog entry. I found it interesting. It seems kind of outdated though. I mean, the SFLC hasn't been around for quite some time. Instead they replaced it with the JFSB, which was another bad idea. I mean, the building itself wasn't a bad idea, but the name of it was. JFSB is too close to JSB, JKB, JKHB (the old name of the JKB) and a few others. I've taken freshmen around for new student orientation, and they always start to get confused when we start talking about all those J. acronym or Smith buildings.
