December 30th, 2004 No Comments

I’ve not yet found solid evidence of the validity of the following letter that was in a Veteran’s Healthcare Group mailing I recieve, but I will keep looking. In the meantime it is a good story to use when telling some kid why you should brush your teeth.

During my [...]

And then, the Sikh.

December 29th, 2004 No Comments

We speak openly and often of religion on this blog. Mostly of Christians, Pagans - such as myself, and the interactions between the two.

Today I want to speak of my thoughts on another faith, that of the Sikh.

I’ve long known of the Sikh, though I admit that my first exposure to the term was as [...]

Social Tips for Rednecks

December 22nd, 2004 No Comments

Yes. It is true. The Bull lives in Alabama. Not that that is a huge step either up or down from my previous addresses of South Carolina, Georgia, and western, (not ‘West’), Virginia. Mainly it’s just flatter. Especially here in Mobile.

Seems no one can be satisfied anymore…

If a Pagan seeks recognition for his/her holiday, the Christians will scream. If a Christian seeks recognition for his/her holiday, the Athiest will scream. If they all get together for recognition of any holiday, the ACLU will scream.

A very Happy Yuletide to all of my fellow Pagans today! Now, on to the story…

The world is going insane! I had this dream about Beth skipping into our room and waking me up to tell me we may have a white Christmas. In my dream I laughed and went right back to sleep.

‘Tis a little known fact…

December 20th, 2004 No Comments

It is a little known fact that all the jokes about the wearing of kilts are based in fact.

It is, as I understand it, against regulations to wear anything like underwear under the kilt in Her Majesty’s Royal Highland Regiments. There are various photos on the web that seem to support this statement. I submit [...]

He’s always thinking…

December 19th, 2004 No Comments

LZIL: file not found:/home/omar/public_html/wp-content/arnold.jpg Well, one thing can be said for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s always thinking of the future. Another thing about the guy: he doesn’t often say anything until he’s actually thought about it. This has the advantage of making him correct in his statements more often than not. In his latest well [...]
