The Beteljuice thing doesn't always work with him. Watch:

Does anyone know what accounted for the decline in popularity in Mithraic cults in the first few centuries after Christ? Do the scrolls found at Nag Hammadi shed any light on this?

Exactly. The dude can get some really good tools and beer for that. Good for him. Makes me want to go through my closets.

Nevertheless, I must tout eBay as a pretty good place to get jewelry. There is a ton of absolute crap, but you are much less likely to get screwed on mid-range stuff than you are by your local jewelry shop with its 100%+ bullshit markup. If you know what to look for (or spend a bit of time to learn about it), and/or are willing to take a gamble on occasion, you can do very well. (The general eBay warning "don't spend more than you are willing to lose" is, as ever, sound.) You've got to have patience and can't feel any pressure to actually get something (have an anniversary deadline looming or look for something very specific for someone's birthday, etc., and you are setting yourself up to get screwed), but if you hang about and keep an eye on what is there you can do well. (Special mention for buying appraised loose stones and getting them set yourself.) I've had stuff appraised for 10X what I paid.

Anyhow, good weekend, all.

So, you guys are not going to believe this one, major flub, FLUB!! A friend of a friend of mine sent my friend an email that my friend copied me on and it was like an April Fool’s type joke, and I know its not April but it was late or something-LOL!!! And the email had a jpg attachment that was a picture of my friend’s friend’s heinie :butt: that my friend’s friend made on his office’s copy machine!!! LOL!!!! I know this is an old joke, but I had never been on the butt end of such a picture-HEY another punnie!!! LOL!!!! SO, I in turn after LOL until I almost peed my pants, not literally, GOD!!! would that ever be embarrassing, even worse than what I did!! I forwarded the emails and while I thought I was sending it to my friend Gary S. (not his real name-wouldn't want to out him-LOL!!!)-I thought I clicked his name in the address box window-you know in Outlook-of course you all know-Duh!!!! :doh3: LOL!!! I mistakenly sent it to a Partner!!! Gary also. Ironic-huh!?!? LOL!!!! (Hi PLF!!!!!LOL!!!!! Oh he’s retired and can’t see this…..LOL!!! Paigow please IM him and tell him I said HI!!! And Miss him!!!!)

Anyway Mr.Partner called me into his office and I thought the axe would fall on my midlevel disposable corporate associate in a down market neck!!!:telloff: I was almost peeing in my pants I was so scared!!! GOD!!! would that ever be embarrassing, even worse than what I did!! LOL!!! So, it turns out he has a GREAT sense of humor and thought the whole thing was a RIOT!!! LOL!!!!! But what a moron thing to do!!!! BUT for me it is lesson learned, BE CAREFUL WHEN FORWARDING EMAILS WITH PICTURES OF YOUR FRIEND’S FRIEND’S HEINIES ATTACHED!!!! :butt: LOL!!!!!

So has this ever happened to anyone else?!?!?!?!!

The Daintiest (BEET RED) Petunia!!!

I'd be careful if I were you. Are you sure he doesn't want to see YOUR heinie? Perhaps he's interested in you, and thinks that you were flirting with him. How did he act while you were in his office? Was the door open or closed?

Ever concerned, and semper fi,
Str8

[UNLURK]The Mithraic cult did not decline until the conversion of Constantine in the early fourth century and the official adoption of Christianity as the state religion. Subsequent emperors played upon Mitharism's associations with Rome's rival, Persia (birthplace of the cult), in order to foster Roman hostility to lingering elements. At the same time, the writings of the early Church fathers attributed Mithraism's close parallels to Christianity to some kind of satanic mockery of Christianity, i.e., Satan created Mithraism as an early Black Mass. (Of course, Mithraic mythology actually predated Christianity, so Satan really got the jump on us by thinking of things like baptism and sacred meals first.) The irony of this satanism accusation is that Pauline Christianity and Mithraism can both be said to be mere side effects of the Hellenization of Persia and the usurpation of Zoroastrian dualism. One form just proved to be more lasting than the other.

As for Nag Hammadi, no.[LURK]

I am now picturing you as the captain of a romulan spaceship with cloaking technology. This is not a positive thing for either you or me.

So I will now take my leave of you all for some patio sitting and alcohol consuming. Indeed.
