So I don't have to have long-term planning skills to start a cult? Y'know, that option is looking better and better ...

Oh, and I learned in high school that all religions start out as cults; it's the cults that survive the death of their cult leader that turn into religions.

Although I was taught that when Jesus told His disciples that He'd return some day, they thought He meant in their lifetime.

I think the point is, they wised up. Anyway, you can say "any day now!" in public all you want, as long as you're quietly keeping the priests from diddling children and embezzling the tithes for illicit bingo.

lisah! I won't be able to pick up the tape today!

Since this particular variation of Mormonism seems to have recently opted for "Do what Jeff says" as its primary dogma, I don't see how it can survive in its present form past his death.

Surviving the death of the cult leader is all a part of the plan.

ION, I have successfully introduced the word kerfluffle into the office lingo. Thrilling!

Except, the word is actually kerfuffle.

I think it must be a British word, because it sounds so funny and makes no sense.

This is all making me very worried about the current round of strategic planning mania going on at work.

Kerfuffle, kerfluffle. What's an "l" between friends? I can now claim to have americanized it, which makes it all the better.

amych! I just got an email with some sort of strategic planning reminder!!

It wasn't even for my own department.

Wouldn't the americanised version be kerfffle?
