The Pillow Pit. (Semi-OOC flirt thread.)

[Vixandra]

Tumble= maybe this joke'll help you feel better. Okay, its a true story (really, I know the Druid who wrote it) and I think its funny as all get out.

Misplaced Deity sought by Christians.....!

So, I'm standing at a bus stop and they pull up. A car
load of well meaning, bible thumping nut cases that
are just frantic! The middle aged professionally
dressed woman rushes forward...She takes my arm and
with trembling voices she asks...."Have you found
Jesus?" Her eyes plead with an urgency that is out of
proportion to a bus stop

Now normally I just politely decline the sermon, and
free religious paperwork that such folk pawn off on
unsuspecting by-standers. But, unfortunately for her,
she is the forth car to accost me in the last 9
minutes. So by now I'm beginning to wonder what the
heck is wrong with these people. I mean if its not
Christians it is the Jehovah's Witnesses. Can
a simple Druid get no peace?

So calmly as I can muster, without being sarcastic I
reply, "You people lost him, again??"

The woman looks confused. This is not the response she
was hoping for and she needs to regroup. She takes a
deep breath intending to launch into her sales pitch
for her God, and church, paying no heed to the concept
that I might not be into being converted. I decide to
not let her get going so I launch into a speech of my
own...

"What is wrong with you Christians? Every time I turn
around you've lost Him!" I hit her with a glare of
accusation. "I mean really..." I take a measured
breath. "How do you expect to have anyone follow a
deity that you can't even find!"

The poor woman looks stunned. This isn't going so
good. Panicked she looks desperately to the car...
Surely one of the men can help.... Undaunted I press
on... "Maybe the problem is with you people... I mean
Muslims never seem to loose there deity. Come to think
of it neither do Jews, or Pagans of any kind."

I look at the man getting out of the car. He's all
smiles. "I realize you people used to burn people like
me at the stake...What was that about... deity even? I
may be a Pagan-heathen, but I have never ever woke
up panicked that I couldn't find my Goddess or God.
They are always right where they should be... In the
fire of my candle, in the air that I breath, in the
earth that I stand on, in the water of my spring. I
never feel abandoned by my deity(ies)."

"Of course, you Christians aren't much fun..." I
continue. By now they are all out of the car.
Befuddled, aghast, and at a loss for words. "Of
course," I offer trying to give them some defense for
losing Jesus. "He could have left due to religious
differences. If I remember correctly He was Jewish. So
if you are really so eager to find him..." I smile
gently to soften the blow. "Check the nearest
synagogue. He's probably in there. Also you folks
should try and remember that this is America...
Where freedom of religion means ALL religions."

Slowly they climb back into their car and drive away.
I stand at the bus stop... No pamphlets, no bible, no
dogma. I haven't found Jesus, but I haven't lost him
either

Someone sent this to you because they believe no one
can have to much Deity. It is a blessing in disguise.
You can keep it to your self or pass it on. Oh, and if
you've found Jesus, please get his face on the evening
news A.S.A.P so the Christians can stop looking for
him.

*Smacks Hy in the shoulder*

Have you not been following this thread for the last few pages ...

It's the girl on girl thing OG was commenting on my Avatar ...


BTW ~ the girls are from the CLAMP title Wish ... Hari & Ryuri are cat girl demons ...

 

[hybirdx]

*Ignors Arc and hurls an shark at cats.* You gotta do better that hairball!

 

[Vixandra]

Ewww, Hy-kun be careful. Some of those species urinate through thier skin!

 

[cats]

*Waves tail prepareing shark steak and a bowl of sharkfin soup.* Thank you garcon. When you get a chance please refill my drink as well.

 

[Vixandra]

Sharkfin soup is barbaric and cruel!

*throws a protest sign at Cats*

Honestly- how can you eat something like that? Its like eating veal or foi gras.

 

[Arc da Rat]

I believe Kamaboko or Fish Cake was originally made w/ shark ... But now I think it is made w/ immitation stuff or something like that ...

 

[cats]

When it comes to eating animals for food my moto is waste not and it's very dumb to go out and catch a shark cut off it's fins and throw it back to die but it's also fairly dumb to kill a shark and throw away it's fins. So note I am eating the rest of the fish as well.

 

[hybirdx]

Agreed. If its edible, we might as well eat it. Don't just kill it to make some kind of medicine, then throw away the left overs if they can be used for something.

So in a sense Vix, you're the one being cruel.

 

[Vixandra]

Ah, okay Cats, that's different.
Shark-steak is very tasty! I found a resturant in CA that served farm-raised thresher shark. VERY good I thought.

I've no problem with eating shark, just a problem with eating a dish created by torturing an animal.
IE- most shark fins come from sharks that are caught, de-finned and tossed back into the water to drown because they can't swim.
Foi Gras is made by torturing ducks, etc.

Haven't had kamaboko yet. May have to try it though.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Heh heh heh ...

I luv the stuff ... Esp in my Saimin or Somen ... Yum ...

 

[hybirdx]

What jackass would cut offthe tail of something for food, then throw it back to drown? Are you humans so dumb to do such a thing? Use the whole freaking shark damnit!

 

[cats]

Ah endanger animals the world wide pass time.

I watched the iron chef sharkfin battle and had the image of sharks being definned and thrown back in the back of my mind the entire time.

Gaint tuna prices are going up as well, since it is now similarly being eaten out of existence, but atleast they use the whole animal.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Sashimi ... *licks lips* ... Tekka Maki ... *flicks tail*

 

[hybirdx]

Huh, I din't know tuna prices went up...

Of course, I haven't eaten tuna in at least 4 years. I opretty much switched to salmon.

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

ummmmm
I made Beef Ribs yesterday & chili today


that count?

 

[hybirdx]

I'm drinking miso soup at the moment.

 

[Vixandra]

Hmm... I live in the land of much of these foods and what am I eating? Popcorn chicken, Hawaiian sweet bread and apple sause.
And Sunny Dilandu- I mean Sunny Delight to drink.

Tis a strange world.

You know- if they'd at least use the shark skin from the sharks they rip the fins off of, I wouldn't have as much of a problem. I mean shark leather's pretty useful as is sting ray. Use the whole dang thing (steaks from the body, those cartilage pills from the rest) and I'm happy.

Same thing with cows- I wear leather, I eat beef, its balanced. And when I die my body shall be come the grass and the cows will eat the grass, so we are all connected.

In the circle of life! I love that song.

It's not tuna Hy, well not caned tuna any how. It's giant tuna, you'd have to go to a fish market to have a chance to find it. Basically tuna doesn't get to it's full size any more. Still gets old enough to reproduce but a full size tuna is hard to find now.

That actually reminds me of wood, the strongest walnut, oak, iron wood, pine (yeah like theres a strong pine) comes from the early days of America and the colonies. This is because the forests were much denser back in those days causing the trees to take in less light and water causing it to grow slower and we got a harder wood.

 

[hybirdx]

Like I said cats. I haven't eaten tuna Period. For the past four years. That does include giant or any other tuna for that matter.

 

[cats]

Point taken, and I was clairfing what I was talking about so some one doesn't think I ment plain tuna.
