Funny you should mention that.
The locals *still* think that the commune is a "nudist colony".....:))

[Salamander]

That "Imbolc, I believe. Also Candlemas."

I didn't think it necessary to repeat what he'd already stated.

Pertaining to the rest of your vitriolic tirade directed at me, I have no idea why you chose to do that.

[Wormwood]

So, I forgot about Candlemas and confused it with Walpurgisnacht... There is no such thing as an ecumenical atheist...

And yet those terms are well-defined historically, as well as fairly 'ecumenical' in the neo-pagan community.

What would atheism have to do with either (aside from being your favorite straw man).

[Wormwood]

Pertaining to the rest of your vitriolic tirade directed at me, I have no idea why you chose to do that.

The vitriol was aimed at me, Dear Salamander.

[Wormwood]

The locals *still* think that the commune is a "nudist colony"

I still shudder when I hear the term, "skyclad".

Yikes.

[Salamander]

"aside from being your favorite straw man)."

You misspelled "wicker man".

[rofl!]

"I have no problem with your picking on people's beliefs, but what are your's so we can pick on them too?"

Theravadan Pantheist

Well, no picking from me. I accept the divinity of Christ but I also respect Theravada Buddhists very much.

I'm not quite sure how pantheism fits, though. I thought there was no theism in Buddhism. Am I wrong, or is this your own personal adaptation?

[Salamander]

Oh.
Gee.
I can't tell the players without a scorecard, now.....:)

[Salamander]

Should I FReepmail you the place's website link, just for kicks?

[there are no skyclad pix on it, as far as I know]....LOL!

[Wormwood]

You misspelled "wicker man".

Okay, this is creepy

My wife and I just tonight watched The Wicker Man (the 1973 original). We were slogging through our pile of Christmas DVDs, and it was tonight's movie!

Weird.

[Salamander]

Fun religious term of the day;

"Mono-poly-pantheistic-animistic-pagan"

[and yes, you have to sing that to the 'Mary Poppins' tune]

[Wormwood]

Should I FReepmail you the place's website link, just for kicks?

Thanks, but I'll pass!

Our pagan days are behind us, I'm afraid.

Okay, now I'm getting a little nostalgic. ;)

[Salamander]

Synchronicity rules....:)


'The Wicker Man' is one of my top 5 all-time faves.
The new version is but a pale shadow of it.

I even bought the original Wicker Man soundtrack CD.


[Corn rigs *are* bonny].....;D

[Salamander]

So are mine but it's still a fun site.
They're building their own "Stonehenge", bless their little hearts....:)

[Wormwood]

They're building their own "Stonehenge", bless their little hearts....:)

Make sure they double check the dimensions.

[Salamander]

ROFL!

Actually, they're really not even *that* close....;]

[Chances Are]

I don't care a whit about "Kwanzaa" just so long as nobody forgets that July 30 is 'Universal Salamander Appreciation Day'.

What??? Really? I didn't know that!

Is there a gerbil appreciation day? Just asking...

CA....

[Chances Are]

You realize, of course, with those 2 posts, you've made this thread, don't you?

CA....

[BigCinBigD]

A Kwanzaa once bit my sister.

[Chances Are]

Can you send me more information on this? I'm definitely interested!

CA....
