I hold the Protectmarriage.org pamphlets to be sacred, so I am going to handle them as little as possible.

I think to be safe, I may even put them in a drawer where nobody can touch them.

Yes but of course anyone you ask about it will say they were symbolic, and not literal. In fact that's the cut and dry, form answer for anything muttered during the session.

If it's been cut out of the ceremony, is it still verboten to talk about it?

There is a 20 year statute of limitations on discussing. We have yet to definitively identify the year it was discontinued. Triplettdaddy stopped wearing his faggity ass Lancer chick CIF 4-A double x Champions dolphin shorts in '90 and the session was as presently constituted, save a little more standing.

Who went from aaronic to melchezedik and allowed their boys a lil more wiggle room in '89 that could speak up on the subject?

And I think that's hilarious. I'm sorry, but I do. There is nothing unsacred about a floor to me.

I think the term "unsacred" is a poor description of my position. Call it custom. Put it in the same category as European customs of not showing the bottom of your foot/shoe to a guest (via crossing your legs, etc.), or when shaking hands, to not reach across the arms of someone else who is already shaking hands. Or more closer to home, the custom of taking the sacrament with the right hand, because it represents the covenant hand.

Some people don't care about that stuff, and it's not really that important, which is why I put it in the category of personal preference. Just as there's no need to impose one's own preferences on someone else, there's no need to make fun of people to who have them.

The floor is sacred to me I kneel on it and prostrate my self upon it.
