A SPOTTER'S GUIDE TO HEATHENS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Thorskegga Thorn & Dragon With acknowledgement to the Ukpaganlinks website for the idea that we must be able to laugh at ourselves to better take ourselves seriously. So far we do not have feminist, commercial or celebrity heathens in England but, just maybe, the rest of us fall into one or more of the following trends.
Animal Lover Could this person have a spirit animal? Is it on their rings, their pendants, their t-shirt, tattooed across their lower arms, and who knows where else? Count the critters. If you can find more than five you have the animal loving heathen. And possibly also:
Beanie (TM) Heathen Checks the toyshop window every morning to see if their spirit animals have been released as a beanie baby. Will have a soft squashy pile of furry fun next to the alter, hanging over doors and portals, decorating mirrors and bookshelves.
Dark Heathen Always wears black, probably has black soap and black towels in the bathroom. Has to hurry away after moots so they don't miss the start of the vampire convention or the Goth band concert. Will often have Beanie Baby bats hanging from the bedroom ceiling.
Techno Mage Cannot leave their technology nest to attend rituals and moots without mobile phone, electronic organiser, palm top PC and modem. Will surf the net to check moon phases during horn passings. Dresses like Neo from the Matrix and dreams of owning a working light sabre.
True! Heathen The true heathen maintains his street cred. Follows the latest trends adding their own Heathen slant. 'Wassaaaaaaaaaaaaail!, Wassuuuuuuuuuuup!' 'Watching the battle, having a mead.' 'Asa -True.' 'Asa -True.'
Book Magnet This common disease, effecting many heathens, is highly addictive and financially crippling. Suffers will always have at least one plastic bag containing books purchased that same morning. Buying every available book on Germanic culture is not the cure, there are some lovely books on the Celtic tradition too.
In it for the beer Heathen Slides under the table during moots, only attending when the pub serves their favourite real ale. Their rituals are often indistinguishable from their piss-ups. Watch for the pained expression as they pour beer in the blessing bowl.
Closet heathen This person has a secret crush on Freya, or Thor, or both!, or maybe an affinity with rune divination. But a heathen? Oh no, never one of those, how crude that would be! Next thing I know I'd be dragging a sword round Sainsburys bellowing Odin! - and that would never do! Lets keep calling the quarters, polishing the athame and hope no one finds out.
Scary Viking' heathen These heathens milk the 'Big bad viking' image for all it's worth. A table cloth and a plastic horned helmet is just the job to transform their biker gear. They believe they have let the side down if no panicking local headlines appear the day after a ritual. These heathens hold all the best parties and are easily to spot in their local pub waving a four pint drinking horn. They are masters of the art of quaffing.
Re-enactor heathen Always wears historical costume, even their pure linen underwear is hand stitched! Gnashes their teeth if anyone shows up at a ceremony wearing a watch, glasses, or any other mechanical assistance.
Fundamentalist If its in a book it must be true. If its in an old book, it must be really true. If its in an old book that was handed down from an oral tradition of people that couldn't read, then it must be way true. As such this 'true' knowledge must be preserved and observed as the only true way to be a heathen.
Yggdrasil hugger Suffers serious nature withdrawal symptoms if removed from the natural world for more than 10 minutes. They can be found stroking the vegetables in supermarkets trying to be 'one' with the natural forces. Their home is filled with interesting bits of wood, feathers, rocks and desiccated road-kill animals. They will have lengthy conversations with all of the above.
Loki worshipper Wears black, looks shifty and practises demonic cackling. Ceremonies may include genuine insane behaviour. These people give the shadows in dark alleys the 'heebie-jeebies', but beneath the scary exterior they wouldn't hurt a fly - it could be Loki after all.
The Arsonist Delights in fire, has a house full of candles, incenses and oil burners, lights them all at the same time at the slightest excuse. Has difficulty in modern houses which do not have an open grate. At camps is always messing with the fire, tending it lovingly and jealously, urging it to it's full potential, that stage where any combustible material within 10 feet will spontaneously ignite.
Instant expert Bought a set of runes and a 'how to do it' book in W H Smiths last Friday. Flicked through the book, looked at the pictures and found the summary table on the back inside cover. Is now checking the destiny of the immediate family and house hold pets. The layout he learned for Tarot last weekend seems to work just fine for runes too! Hey! Next week I'll learn the Cabbala.
Captain Rune The runes are all powerful and represent the whole universe and knowledge, no mystery is not to be found contained among their secrets. The spring sun may be blazing outside the closed bedroom curtains, and silver wolves are rutting on the lawn, but he doesn't care, because all that matters is in his little pouch of runes.
Language Guru Speaks Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Old High German, Latin and Greek. Keeps notes not only in runes but an authentic 6th century Jutland dialect. They make everyone around them feel totally inadequate, but may need shooting if they turn into the following:
Anachronist Totally out of touch with the rest of heathenry, doesn't everyone speak Norse these days? They will write ceremonies that are so full of archaic words that neither you nor the gods themselves are sure what religion you belong to, which gods you have invoked, or what you are trying to achieve. Often surrounded by groupies too mesmerised to notice.
Freya Freak Normally a guy, but these days anything's possible. Has heard about the Norse pantheon's sex goddess - She did it with four dwarves, wow! Maybe even a pimply loser with a generous beer gut can score here! Where do I sign up?
Montheist This heathen was attracted to the faith because there are so many gods and goddesses - so its better than the Christian faith which has only one - right? So they pick a god. A god that's all-powerful, all-knowing and created the universe - so you don't need any of the others, right?
How many of these have even a small place in your makeup?

Was doing the dishes today when a weird looking bug crawled out from under one of them. I imprisoned it in a plastic pot (with airholes) and called it Neil. Have now identified it as a German cockroach so it's name is Herr Neil. Yuck. As I'm meant to be doing a very important literature review for my honours project I naturally decided to make this irelevant and disturbing livejournal post. if you are depraved enough to be reading my livejournal then you may appreciate the following oppertunity.
You, yes YOU can help decide his fate.
Should I:
Kill him by freezing (humane) electocution (inhumane) burn him at the stake (or in his case matchstick) crucifiction (he's not the messiah he's a very naughty roach) Sacrifice him to an obscure Pagan Deity Keep him as a pet Keep him as a Familiar Subject him to Norsie themed heavy metal until he casts off the shackles of the dying desert faith, embraces the might of Roachsatru and all the Northern Roach Gods and set him loose in the Mission (the lair of the Aberdeen University Christian Union, not the cool Goth club in Edinburgh).
Please vote now! His fate is in your hands

Surfing the internet in Edward wrights' for amusing shit since the internet at home is fucked so I can't look up porn. Brain melting. Will update as soon as I can be arsed. Here are some funnies.
TOP 9 SEX JOKES # 9. A man is in a hotel lobby. He wants to ask the clerk a question. As he turns to go to the front desk, he accidentally bumps into a woman beside him and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast. They are both startled and he says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as your breast, I know you'll forgive me." She replies, "If your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 1221."
# 8. A young man walks up and sits down at the bar. "What can I get you?" the bartender inquires. "I want 6 shots of Jagermeister," responded the young man. "6 shots?!? Are you celebrating something?" "Yeah, my first blowjob." "Well, in that case, let me give you a 7th on the house." "No offence, sir. But if 6 shots won't get rid of the taste, nothing will."
#7. A businessman boards a flight and is lucky enough to be seated next to an absolutely gorgeous woman. They exchange brief hellos and he notices she is reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her about it and she replies, "This is a very interesting book about sexual statistics. It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Polish men have the biggest average diameter. By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?" He coolly replies, "Tonto Kawalski, nice to meet you."
# 6. One night, as a couple lay down for bed, the husband gently taps his wife on the shoulder and starts rubbing her arm. The wife turns over and says: "I'm sorry, honey, I've got a gynecologist appointment tomorrow and I want to stay fresh." The husband, rejected, turns over and tries to sleep. A few minutes later, he rolls back over and taps his wife again. This time he whispers in her ear: "Do you have a dentist appointment tomorrow, too?"
# 5. Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own. One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong. "What's wrong, Bill?" she asked. "Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?" "Oh, Bill, you didn't." "Yes, I did." "My God, Bill, what happened?" "I got fired." "No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?" "Oh...she got fired too."
# 4. A man was visiting his wife in hospital where she has been in a coma for several years. On this visit he decides to rub her left breast instead of just talking to her. On doing this she lets out a sigh. The man runs out and tells the doctor who says this is a good sign and suggests he should try rubbing her right breast to see if there is any reaction. The man goes in and rubs her right breast and this brings a moan From this, the doctor suggests that the man should go in and try oral sex, saying he will wait outside as it is a personal act and he doesn't want the man to be embarrassed. The man goes in then comes out about five minutes later, white as a sheet and tells the doctor his wife is dead. The doctor asks what happened to which the man replies: "She choked."
# 3. A guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons. "I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle,each of you will buy me a drink." The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of its' head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals unscathed as promised. The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks were delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try". A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. A woman timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle".
# 2. A small white guy goes into an elevator. When he gets in he notices a huge black dude standing next to him. The big black dude looks down upon the small white guy and says: "7 foot tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch dick, 3 pound left ball, 3 pound right ball, Turner Brown" The small white guy faints!! The big black dude picks up the small white guy and brings him to, slapping his face and shaking him and asks the small white guy. "What's wrong?". The small white guy says; "Excuse me but what did you say?". The big black dude looks down and says "7 foot tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch dick, 3 pound left ball, 3 pound right ball, my name is Turner Brown." The small white guy says,"Thank god, I thought you said 'Turn around. '"
# 1. There was this couple who had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years." "Yeah," she replied, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago." "Well," Granny snickered, "What do you say...should we get naked?" Where upon the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table. "You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago." "I wouldn't be surprised," replied Gramps. "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal!!!!
THINGS THAT BOTHER ME: ====================== The Pillsbury doughboy is way too happy considering he has no genitals. ---------------- When something is "new and improved", which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it. ---------------- People who are willing to get off their ass to search the room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually. ---------------- When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". What good is a goddam cake you can't eat? What, should I eat someone else's cake Instead? --------------- When people say "It's always in the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? --------------- When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?" No, I paid $8.50 to come to the theatre and stare at that thing over there. --------------- People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice, did ya? --------------- People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy, where the heck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?

WHAT WOMEN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEN ------------------------------------ 1. If you think the way to a man's heart is through his stomach you're aiming to high. 2. Women don't make fools of men -- most of them are the do-it-yourself types. 3. The best reason to divorce a man is a health reason: you've got sick of him. 4. Never trust a man who says he's the boss at home. He probably lies about other things too. 5. A woman's work that is never done, is the stuff she asked her husband to do. 6. If you want a nice man go for a bald one -- they try harder. 7. Go for younger men. You might as well -- they never mature anyway. 8. There are only two four letter words that are offensive to men -- "don't" and "stop" (but not used together). 9. Men are all the same -- they just have different faces so you can tell them apart. 10. Definition of a man with manners -- he gets out of the bath to pee. 11. Whenever you meet a man who would make a good husband, you will usually find that he is. 12. Scientists have just discovered something that can do the work of five men -- a women. 13. There are a lot of words you can use to describe men -- strong, caring, loving -- they'd be wrong but you could still use them! 14. Men are like animals -- messy, insensitive and potentially violent -- but they make great pets! 15. Men brains are like the prison system -- not enough cells per man. 16. Husbands are like children -- they're fine if they're someone else's.
Results of a contest for "theories" sponsored by Omni magazine. RUNNERS-UP: 1. If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number of pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of highway signs, they will eventually produce all the world's great literary works in Braille. 2. Why Yawning Is Contagious: You yawn to equalize the pressure on your eardrums. This pressure change outside your eardrums unbalances other people's ear pressures, so they must yawn to even it out. 3. Communist China is technologically underdeveloped because they have no alphabet and therefore cannot use acronyms to communicate ideas at a faster rate. 4. The earth may spin faster on its axis due to deforestation. Just as a figure skater's rate of spin increases when the arms are brought in close to the body, the cutting of tall trees may cause our planet to spin dangerously fast. HONORABLE MENTION: The quantity of consonants in the English language remains constant. If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a Bostonian "pahks" his "cah", the lost r's migrate southwest, causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in "erl wells." GRAND PRIZE WINNER: When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago. Professor Charles R.

WORDS OF WISDOM ABOUT LIVING 1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone. 2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. 3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. 4. It's a small world. So you gotta use your elbows a lot. 5. Sex is like air; it's not important unless you aren't getting any. 6. We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse. 7. No one is listening until you make a mistake. 8. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. 9. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. 10.It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. 11. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. 12. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. 13. If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. 14. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it. 15. If you haven't much education you must use your brain. 16. Never mess up an apology with an excuse. 17. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. 18. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. 19. I don't have a license to kill. I have a learner's permit. 20. Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either! 21. If you drink, don't park. Accidents cause people. 22. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield. 23. Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time. 24. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. 25. Don't squat with your spurs on. 26. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. 27. Good judgment comes from bad experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 28. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. 29. Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a raindance. 30. A closed mouth gathers no foot. 31. Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. 32. Telling a man to go to hell and making him do it are two entirely different propositions. 33. Tact is the ability to tell him to go to hell and have him be on his way. 35. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 36. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. 37. Never ask a man the size of his spread. (Or anything else for that matter!) 38. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 39. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving. 40. Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of. 41. Diplomacy is the art of saying "good doggie" while looking for a bigger stick. 42. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 43. If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? 44. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. 45. The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

I HAVE THE MOTHER OF ALL BONGS!!!
On the way back from Edinburgh I picked it up out a little corner shop. It's the 3ft tall hookah of doom. Unfortunately I've not had a chance to try it out yet. Anyone fancy helping me break it in?
Was in Edinburgh over the weekend. My Brother was back from sea. He's off becoming a junior Navigations Officer for a big cruise company. Lucky bugger just came back from a 4 month posting in the Carribean (though they had him working 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week). It was really wonderful to see him.
Fluffy's doing really well- he's alot bigger than his brothers at the pet shop. He's just shed his skin and is eating well. He's an amazingly tame snake who actually seems to enjoy gentle handling (so long as whoever's handling him doesn't have cold hands!).

Well, term's started so I guess it's back to another 12 weeks or so of fun and games at the Uni of Aberdeen. Got the exams over with, 4 in three days which was bloody excruciating. It also meant that I got virtually no free time over the holidays. After the exams of course I got lots of time off, most of which I spent bored and lonely.
I was so bored I put an ad on a dating site. Got an offer from a Farmer near Elgin. He seemed ok but I think he was looking for a romantic type realationship, not something I really have the time or social skills for. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a psychopath, I am capable of love and tend to care deeply about my friends. I just don't really know how to express this in a way that fits the social norms of Western society. It also seems that every guy I've ever asked out has either been completely uninterested, completely unsuitable or an absolute bastard. Those who ask me tend either to lose interest very quickly, try to control or change me, go after someone else or get very freaked out and run.
Recently I did develop feelings for someone, but I'm glad to say these feelings were quickly and ruthlessly exterminated. Even better, we're still good friends, and I don't think he got an inkling of any of this. I know that to anyone reading this who's currently in the throes of a relationship or who is predisposed to notions of romance this probably sounds like a facist rant, but it's for the best. I've done it before and I'm sure I'll do it again. It may not be a perfect fairytale ending, but hey! welcome to reality. Things are never perfect. Nothing hurts me more than loosing a friend, and I'd rather not risk this. Just remember that in many parts of the world it is completely normal for people to spend their lives with partners chosen by their family or tribe, and most of them are as happy as any couple living by the ideals our society espouses (although that ain't really saying much). There is more than one way to deal with heterosexual (or homosexual) love, and one way is not necessarily the best for everyone. And don't worry, the exes I was bitching about don't read this journal (to my knowledge, and if they do, tough).
As for other areas in my life, still plugging away at the Pagan society with Eloise. We have a new treasurer, but we've still to tell the old treasurer. I don't think she'll take it too badly, she didn't seem to be too bothered anyway. Next Monday we're having a talk on Sigil Magick. I'm likely to be doing most of it, so I hope I don't fuck up. Also I've got a really lovely special wee friend. His name is Fluffy and he's a four and a half month old albino cornsnake. He's absolutely gorgeous and very very tame. Currently he's about a foot and half long with beutiful pearly white scales and pink patches along his back. Once he's fully grown (in about 2-3 years time) he'll be about 4ft long. Anyone who wants to meet him is very welcome to. He's absolutely gorgeous!

But what about my lifelong commitment to the transformation of society by undermining the illogical mindprisons inflicted upon humanity by various elitist intellectual facists (in order to more easily control their fellow human beings) by facilitating the spread and free use of Occultism and Pagan Magick?????

Happy New Year everyone! Haven't posted for a while, but then I'm stressed out of my mind as per usual. Still have one essay to go before I can start my revision, and all four of my exams are in the first three days of term. AAARRRG!!! Have had a pretty good Yule, My parents gave me a little hookah-esq bong and some gorgeous apple flavoured hookah tobacco. Unfortunately it appears to be too wet to light properly. Anyone used the stuff before?
My aunt stayed over from the 24th to the 27th and drove us nuts and the traditional clan gathering went really well. One of the highlights was a reference made by my uncle Angus about the mother of his son in law. According to Angus, if there was a murder committed in her neighbourhood, "the Polis wid fingerprint her arse tae see if there wis a stranger in toon".
Also I'm back on the property hunt again. My mum spotted a really gorgeous property on the Spital and I'm in the process of trying to get her and my stepdad to actually view it. I'll post any developments. All in all I just hope that this year isn't as shit as the last few months have been. As for resolutions, here are mine.
1. Get Organised! 2. Do more Magick. 3. Do more Kung-Fu training. 4. Have more raunchy sex. 5. Experiment with sex in a Religous/ Magickal context. 6. Find someone willing to participate in the fulfillment of resolutions 4 and 5. 7. Perfect my shroom growing techniques.

A Knock on the Door Anon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well groomed, nicely dressed couple.
The man spoke first: "Hi! I'm John, and this is Mary."
Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us."
Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss his ass?"
John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, he'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, he'll kick the shit out of you."
Me: "What? Is this some sort of bizarre mob shake-down?"
John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do what ever he wants, and what he wants is to give you a million dollars, but he can't until you kiss his ass."
Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..."
Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the ass?"
Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..."
John: "Then come kiss Hank's ass with us."
Me: "Do you kiss Hank's ass often?"
Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..."
Me: "And has he given you a million dollars?"
John: "Well no, you don't actually get the money until you leave town."
Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?"
Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money, and he kicks the shit out of you."
Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's ass, left town, and got the million dollars?"
John: "My mother kissed Hank's ass for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money."
Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?"
John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it."
Me: "So what makes you think he'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?"
Mary: "Well, he gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise; maybe you'll win a small lotto; maybe you'll just find a twenty dollar bill on the street."
Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?"
John: "Hank has certain connections."
Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game."
John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's ass he'll kick the shit of you."
Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to him, get the details straight from him..."
Mary: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank."
Me: "Then how do you kiss his ass?"
John: "Sometimes we just blow him a kiss, and think of his ass. Other times we kiss Karl's ass, and he passes it on."
Me: "Who's Karl?"
Mary: "A friend of ours. He's the one who taught us all about kissing Hank's ass. All we had to do was take him out to dinner a few times."
Me: "And you just took his word for it when he said there was a Hank, that Hank wanted you to kiss his ass, and that Hank would reward you?"
John: "Oh no! Karl's got a letter Hank sent him years ago explaining the whole thing. Here's a copy; see for yourself."
John handed me a photocopy of a handwritten memo on "From the desk of Karl" letterhead. There were eleven items listed:
1. Kiss Hank's ass and he'll give you a million dollars when you leave town.
2. Use alcohol in moderation.
3. Kick the shit out of people who aren't like you.
4. Eat right.
5. Hank dictated this list himself.
6. The moon is made of green cheese.
7. Everything Hank says is right.
8. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.
9. Don't drink.
10. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.
11. Kiss Hank's ass or he'll kick the shit out of you. Me: "This would appear to be written on Karl's letterhead."
Mary: "Hank didn't have any paper."
Me: "I have a hunch that if we checked we'd find this is Karl's handwriting."
John: "Of course, Hank dictated it."
Me: "I thought you said no one gets to see Hank?"
Mary: "Not now, but years ago he would talk to some people."
Me: "I thought you said he was a philanthropist. What sort of philanthropist kicks the shit out of people just because they're different?"
Mary: "It's what Hank wants, and Hank's always right."
Me: "How do you figure that?"
Mary: "Item 7 says Everything Hanks says is right.' That's good enough for me!"
Me: "Maybe your friend Karl just made the whole thing up."
John: "No way! Item 5 says 'Hank dictated this list himself.' Besides, item 2 says 'Use alcohol in moderation,' item 4 says 'Eat right,' and item 8 says 'Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.' Everyone knows those things are right, so the rest must be true, too."
Me: "But #9 says 'Don't Drink,' which doesn't quite go with #2. And #6 says 'The moon is made of green cheese,' which is just plain wrong."
John: "There's no contradiction between 9 and 2; 9 just clarifies 2. As to 6, you've never been to the moon, so you can't say for sure."
Me: "Scientists have pretty firmly established that the moon is made of rock..."
Mary: "But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese."
Me: "I'm not really an expert, but I think the theory that the Moon came from the Earth has been discounted. Besides, not knowing where the rock came from doesn't make it cheese."
John: "Aha! You just admitted that scientists make mistakes, but we know Hank is always right!"
Me: "We do?"
Mary: "Of course we do, Item 5 says so."
Me: "You're saying Hank's always right because the list says so, the list is right because Hank dictated it, and we know that Hank dictated it because the list says so. That's circular logic, no different than saying 'Hank's right because he says he's right.'"
John: "Now you're getting it! It's so rewarding to see someone come around to Hank's way of thinking."
Me: "But...oh, never mind. What's the deal with wieners?"
Mary blushes. John says: "Wieners, in buns, no condiments. It's Hank's way. Anything else is wrong."
Me: "What if I don't have a bun?"
John: "No bun, no wiener. A wiener without a bun is wrong."
Me: "No relish? No Mustard?"
Mary looks positively stricken. John shouts: "There's no need for such language! Condiments of any kind are wrong!"
Me: "So a big pile of sauerkraut with some wieners chopped up in it would be out of the question?"
Mary sticks her fingers in her ears: "I am not listening to this. La la la, la la, la la la."
John: "That's disgusting. Only some sort of evil deviant would eat that..."
Me: "It's good! I eat it all the time."
Mary faints. John catches her: "Well, if I'd known you where one of those I wouldn't have wasted my time. When Hank kicks the shit out of you I'll be there, counting my money and laughing. I'll kiss Hank's ass for you, you bunless cut-wienered kraut-eater."
With this, John dragged Mary to their waiting car, and sped off.

Yay! those gorgeous little shroomies are starting to appear! The first little pinheads showed themselves above the vermiculite last night. This morning about a quarter of the kit is showing definite development- some are about 1/4 of an inch tall and definitely look like shrooms. Talk about growing like the clappers! Should have some lovely mature mushies ready for the weekend! Can't wait!

Well, have finally shaken off the flu and am getting stuck straight back into work. Decided to get myself a little treat though as I've been feeling shit with flu all week. It arrived today. One fresh, wholesome mycelium rich Shroom kit. Yes, in this fine country it is perfectly legal to grow yourself lovely potent crops of psylocobin loaded mushies. I built a propagator out of an old freezer box, five chopsticks, masking tape and clingfilm. Yes, it's a bit flimsy looking, but it's doing it's job beutifully!- The kit's only been out the fridge a few hours and already it's showing a few patches of fluffy snow white mycelium emerging from the vermiculite. Only a few days to go before those lovely little shroomies start appearing!
