"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Narcissus is the one who stared into his own reflection, rapt, till he withered and died. Which is where the term "narcissism" comes from.

No, I knew that, but I thought he met some horrible afterlife fate as well. I was pretty sure it was Prometheus (and his liver), but not 100%.

Speaking of unpleasant fates - who got torn apart by the furies?

Speaking of unpleasant fates - who got torn apart by the furies?

The Furies or the Maenads? Orpheus was killed by the Maenads, I think, and so was...the king in The Bacchae, whose name I'm forgetting.

The Furies chased after Orestes for a while because he killed his mother.

Loads of Aeneus' shipmates got eaten by Furies, I think.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Speaking of unpleasant fates - who got torn apart by the furies?

Any number of demons, vampires, etc.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

I sent my niece this book recently and it was a HUGE hit with her, my brother, SiL, and parents. They all love it. I haven't read it yet - got it for her based on Buffistas. So, thanks!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Furies, sirens, harpies, Maenads, Bacchantes -- the Greeks kind of had an Issue with their womenfolk going off wild and crazy.

The Greeks kind of had an Issue with women overall, but the wild-and-crazy women: well, look what they did to Klytaemnestra.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Someone said in Bitches that they find birthday discussions offensive.

Oh, really? That's my least favorite thing abut Jahovah's Witnesses, at least the one bitchy woman I used to work with. Back to the drawing board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, googling "Bahai birthday" led me to this guy's blog, where he talks about Baha'i and also his birthday party, so I'm going to go with that not being a big part of the religion, if at all. [link]
