To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh. I wasn't thinking of those Travellers--Britain has non-Roma Travellers that aren't new agey at all, they're old. I think of them as primarily Irish, though that's probably narrow on my part.

Irish Travellers is what they call them on Dateline....

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Teaching was good. The schedule was brutal as usual. Many other things were just bizarre. I think we had a full moon all summer.

Oh, and if anyone in Houston is looking for someone to smite I have a deserving candidate.

“Not dead yet!”

Yargh-- the sheath on my laptop's power cord has split and broken in the worst possible place. Guess what I'll be buying tomorrow?

I know that Travelers were the ones I was warned about when I started working retail after moving up to the NW 'burbs--they're rather notorious for being shoplifters. I never encountered any, though, so it's probably more of a myth than anything else. There was an ep of L&O:CI in the first season with William Sadler as the head of a Traveler clan.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Have you seen Snatch, Hil? That gives you a movie version of Irish Travelers in the UK. Brad Pitt does an awesome job in that!

Wikipedia is a menace. In addition to Irish Travellers there are Norwegian and Swedish travellers of various configurations.
