Pretty sure you've already seen them. But I'll see if I can swing some new photos one of these days.

Yes, I think I did but more is better. I'm greedy.

If I can get up to four posts in a row, can I get the same deal? I'm pretty sure you haven't seen mine yet.

[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]

Rain Man?

IMDB lists the cast for Confederacy of Dunces as having Will Ferrell playing Ignacious. Talk about a movie fucked up before the cameras roll!

The fact that Ferrell did a deranged cheerleader on SNL, and a still-frat-crazy man in Old School, does not mean he could play the multi-layered Ignacious. No sir.

Translated for those who haven't read the book: Will Ferrell could play Fringe sure, but would you hire him for the Paigow role?

John Goodman was mentioned a few years ago, and I think he would be a much better choice.

Good question. But I'd go further and move him down to 6th. Jeter leads off, bernie second, giambi third, matsui fourth, bernie, posada, soriano, right field and fucking boone in the nine hole.

Torre's moves last night made no sense.

If Bernie batted twice each time around the order, they would have slammed the door in four.

What the hell happened to Karim Garicia, anyway, and why is he playing?

How clever. And I didnt know grunge had a sell by date. But I thank you for a new annoying little saying. Thanks for playing has passed its sell by date. But Your Mileage May Vary.

A couple hours later...

PLF's sell by date. Its passing as we speak. But I think he is still good today. Manfred, you are okay on the sellby date right? It is the day after that's problematic, right?

Now have we seen Paigow switch from one personality to the other this afternoon on the Board, or is this just evidence of Paig's love/hate relationship with me?

The proof will be in her reaction to the news that I've been on the Atkins Diet, so I've lost weight and given up caffeine.

I would like the court reporter to notate the above responses for when Paigow claims she invented "sell-by date" in two years on the New, New, New, New, New Fashion Board. Of course, she'll later broaden the meaning of the word "invent" to encompass anytime a thought first occurs to her (or one of her personalities).

I kid because you love,

You, too? For the love on God. OTOH, market forces should drive the price of tasty carbohydrates down.

In honor of Halloween, I offer this POLL: Have you ever been in a place that was 'known' or reputed to be haunted? For purposes of this poll, you don't need actually to believe it was haunted, but you should tell the story as if you do.

My answer: Close friends live in house built in the 1920s. Their bedroom has a ghostly presence; the usual bumps, squeaks and scraping sounds. Several times, the picture hanging over their bed has shifted suddenly in the middle of the night --- it wants to be crooked.

One night, my friend Kathleen was reading in bed. Suddenly, the cord to the venetian blinds began swinging rhythmically, like a pendulum. There was not a breath of moving air in the room, but it swang back and forth for a full minute, in perfect rhythm, and then stopped dead vertical. It hasn't happened again since.

Shortly after they moved in, Lydia, their three year old daughter, began waking up in the night and wandering the house in a half-awake state. If anyone in the house is awake, she'll loom in doorway to the occupied room, watching silently, standing in any nearby darkness. But if anyone in the room turns and actually makes eye contact with her, she'll burst into tears. I've seen this happen myself --- at a dinner party, Lydia had been put to bed and two hours later we were having nightcaps in the living room. I thought I saw a figure in the shadows of the staircase, so I peered into the gloom. I saw the blank look on her face before she wailed --- not a frightened cry, but a cry of loneliness, perhaps. When she wakes in the morning, she doesn't remember anything after being put to bed.

When I was a young child, we lived on a farm on LI. One day, my mother took me with her to visit friends in a nearby farmhouse dating from the 1700s that was reputed to be haunted by the kindly ghost of an old woman.

As the hour grew late, my mother put me to bed upstairs while she continued her evening. When she went to check on me, she saw an old woman sitting at the foot of my bed, watching me sleep. The woman got up and walked past her down the hall.

Rather than move me, my mother checked that everything was okay and left me there sleeping until it was time to go home.
