Oooh, shiny.

My mum was round to do computer shopping (she purchased a portable external hard drive) and decided to contribute to my birthday present (i.e.¹ teh computer) by buying me a shiny shiny 17" flat-screen monitor.

Wooooo...

Today's most excellent link is The Pennsylvanian Planned Parenthood Pledge-a-Picket. I know some of you in particular will love this idea.   8^D

And today's silly wikipedia extract(s) are from the Easter article:

"According to the children's stories, the eggs were hidden overnight and other treats delivered by the Easter Bunny in an Easter basket which children find waiting for them when they wake up. The Easter Bunny's motives for doing this are seldom clarified."

"In the Czech Republic, a tradition of whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, males whip females with a special handmade whip called pomlázka. [...] the purpose is for males to exhibit their attraction to females; unvisited females can even feel offended. [...] The females can get revenge in the afternoon when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any male."

Cold water eh? Sounds good!

[spudtater.livejournal.com]

It might be neccessary after all that whipping.

[galaxy-girl00.livejournal.com]

Wait a minute the men whip the women and they only get to pour water over them???

I'll take the chocolate eggs!

Maybe we could make it so Cultists get to whip heretics at Easter?

[luckylove.livejournal.com]

Count me in!

Well, we've only got two Heretics just now... The Lesser Heretic and the Jellybean Heretic... however, the Grand Prestidigitator of Divine Doctrine appears to have gone into overdrive and declared all sorts of other things to be heresy as well, so I'm sure The Inquisition can find more pretexts for accusations if necessary...

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

for the sake of the two Heretics backs, could we say that non-Enlightened members of the public (ie.¹ non-Cult members) count as heretics for teh sake of whipping purposes?

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Technically they'd be Heathens, not Heretics, so I'm afraid they don't count...

[bassresistance.livejournal.com]

Which heretic am I? Or do I count as a heathen?

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Currently, since you're not a cult member, you're a Heathen.

However if you sign here then a whole world of doctrinal irregularities is available to you...
... and if you're really lucky then Inquisitor luckylove might attempt to inspect your brazier...

Would the above lessen my chances of being burned at the stake?

... and if you're really lucky then Inquisitor [info]luckylove might attempt to inspect your brazier...

One can only hope... *grin*

Nobody was threatening to burn you at the stake.
Selling you into slavery was a whole separate issue... :-)

[bassresistance.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? ;)

[nickys.livejournal.com]

... well, okay scunthorpe was threatening to burn you at the stake, but he is prone to over-enthusiasm at times...

[bassresistance.livejournal.com]

IIRC, you weren't exactly rushing to my defence ;)

However, I shall accept your teachings, on the condition that you never expect me to drink a cup of tea ;)

[nickys.livejournal.com]

That's all right.
A-Tea-ists are permitted in the Cult. :-)

[bassresistance.livejournal.com]

If it helps, I can eat more chocolate? :)

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Well done, Sibling. That shows a very proper dedication to the cause.

[bassresistance.livejournal.com]

:)

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

well could we whip Heathens at Easter then?

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Probably best to stick to Heretics, I think...

It's more traditional.

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

we need more Heretics me thinks...

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Well, I suggest you contact The InquisiTOR and the Grand Prestidigitator and arrange to fabricate some charges against someone then, Sibling...
