[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I kinda like the thought of Pope Benedictine XVI. Kinda like a huge bottle of liquor in a pointy hat. (More than three times as big as a fifth.)

Since I'm a UU pagan I also lack an aggessive canine, but I'm glad the pope's been chosen. Now we won't have 5 minutes of BBC America (a large chunk considering it's a 20 minute show) devoted to, "Nope. No pope yet." They'll spend a day or so on the Ratzinger Retrospective and Speculations, and then they'll move on to Tony Blair's chances of staying PM, soccer scores, and the latest super 'flu.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My parents- mom and stepdad- are UU, which doesn't count as organized religion. I loved that church though. Alex's service was there and it was beautiful. It's actually where I first met my stepfamily many moons ago. It's not for me, but I still have fond memories.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My UU aunt describes her church as "We believe in one god, at most."

[eta: Which technically, since they've got a bunch of pagan members, is more quippy than accurate. But it makes me laugh.]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm disappointed. Really and truly. The marginalization of many American Catholics continues.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We had a few athiests in our church, probably some pagans- though I'm not sure they were in the strictest sense (if there's such a thing as orthodox paganism).

Hugs Maria for all the disenfranchised and disillusioned Catholics I know.

orthodox paganism

I think there was a website, apparently it involves really bad webpage design.

Always Anti-fascist!

Polter-cow, Nova, or rather Mr. Griswold, sent me that yesterday, Aw, he wants to be a Baby Bayliss...yay him. He'd better get used to being taken for granted a lot though. The picture of the new pope gave me a wiggins. An uninformed wiggins, but still, the man looks scary.

I'm sorry, Maria. It's not my church, but I'm disappointed that it didn't turn out better for you and your ilk.

Modern paganism is like fanfic. The answer is always yes.

I'm sorry too, Maria. But like I said in Natter, the guy's 78. We'll be conclaving again in no time.
