triadruidHere's a clever little meme that I think I'm ready to play now:
Go browse through my list of interests and pick one that either 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing, or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why I would be interested in it, and request an explanation.

Date: 2004-03-16 09:08 am (UTC)2. Charmed as a guilty pleasure means exactly what it sounds like: I watch Charmed but it's a guilty pleasure, like bon bons or Shania Twain music. It's sugary-sweet, Wiclectic-fluffy, and goofy as all hell, but it also has some moments of cleverness, and the visual 'effects' of the leading cast doesn't hurt either. I sumbit these photos as evidence:
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C (and easily my favorite)

Date: 2004-03-16 09:15 am (UTC)I prefer rifles and handguns with some helf to them, as opposed to shotguns (duh, Marksmanship!) or nickel-plated Saturday Night Specials.
The Concealed Carry Law is what made me think about it again; I may have to touch base with
helf?

Date: 2004-03-16 03:14 pm (UTC)The latest addition to this is the almost-complete skeleton of a deer that we are trying to figure out how to clean and make usable for something else (like carving divination tools, or decorating staves, etc).

Date: 2004-03-16 02:49 pm (UTC)2) "Cheerleader cats"?
Explanation, please!
cheerleader cats
Date: 2004-03-16 03:21 pm (UTC)You can't call her dense, because she's fluffy.
You can't call her an airhead, because her cranium is mostly taken up with eyes.
You can't call her clumsy, because she can bat a Frisk into the air with her paw and catch it in her mouth (but only once).
You can't call her ditzy, because she's been watching the front lawn for the return of that stray cat for 4 days now.
But...
You can call her graceless, when she falls off the back of the computer monitor.
You can call her a failure, when she loses a fight to a baby mouse.
You can call her brainless, when she forgets where she's walking to.
You can call her prissy, when she refuses to walk on grass.
You can call her hopeless, when she goes back to watch her automatic litterbox for the 57th time, and then digs in it to see what it did, so that it goes off again for the 58th time a few minutes later, and she goes back to watch what it does, and then digs in it...
She may not be smart, but she's terrifically cute (small for her size, calico, big eyes, soft fur), generally friendly, and purrs at both petting and mild harassment.
She's a cheerleader cat.;)

Date: 2004-03-16 03:27 pm (UTC)Your wife might know the idea as "plausible deniability". It's less popular with me than with the baddies on TXF, but I do have the ability to use it from time to time. Such as in placing this interest in my list... :)

muppet hunting?!?
muppet hunting
Date: 2004-03-16 07:49 pm (UTC)For instance: "What comes after three?" *muppet pops up from the bushes* "Four!" *BLAM*
It was totally irreverent and really funny, although I never 'got' KITH as a general rule...

Date: 2004-03-16 04:33 pm (UTC)authentic traditions
Date: 2004-03-17 06:38 pm (UTC)Doing something once because it feels good doesn't make it a 'tradition'; doing it because it's been done 100 times and it felt good makes it a tradition. It's the difference between Univerified Personal Gnosis (I feel that X) and Personal Revelation (I got X result, and three other people got X result, within a certain order of reasonable variance).
Is it authentic? Depends; does it have some basis besides your gut feeling? Are you building off of *anything*, any reasonable ritual structure or established mythology or psychological patterning? Just because you've called Kali as a Mother Goddess to your Heal the Earth ritual each year for five years, dones't necessarily make it the authentic thing to do, in my opinion.
But that's just me; I could be wrong.
