Re: PF's PBP

I know this isn't exactly in line with the topic of the thread... but, people struggling with 'X' reminded me of something I wrote a few years back: http://www.paganforum.com/showthread...ull=1#post6254

This is a children's poem I wrote:

Asatru Children's ABC's

A is for Asgard, where the Gods spend their day.
B is for Bifrost, between the worlds it lay.

C is for Courage, the strength to overcome fear.
D is for Day, she follows Night throughout the year.

E is for Embla, the mother of us all.
F is for Freyja, chooser of those who fall.

G is for Gungnir, from its course it never strays.
H is for Heimdall, his horn, Gjallar, he plays.

I is for Iduna, keeper of the apples of gold.
J is for Jormungand, around the earth, his tail he holds.

K is for Kvasir, from his blood came inspiration.
L is for Lore, the stories for our edification.

M is for Mjollnir, Jotuns it smites.
N is for the Norns, the Wyrd they write.

O is for Odin, he, who Fenrir shall fight.
P is for Protection, given by Thor's great might.

Q is for Question, for knowledge to gain.
R is for Ragnarok, when all begins again.

S is for Sigurd, the slayer of the dragon.
T is for Thor, thundering in his wagon.

U is for Ullr, by whom the hunt is blessed.
V is for the Vanir, by whom nature is dressed.

W is for Wyrd, the web that connects all things.
X is for Xenodochy and the Luck it brings.
*(xenodochy = hospitality... you try thinking of an Asatru related
word that begins with 'X'

Y is for Yggdrasil, where Odinn hung alone.
Z is for Zisa, by whom peace is sown.

TS, that is lovely! Would you mind if I shared that on my blog (with you as the author, of course)

Please explain to me how Will Smith factors into your religion.

Re: PF's PBP

Please explain to me how Will Smith factors into your religion.

Parenthetically.

Re: PF's PBP

Parenthetically.

I want a religion where I can get jiggy with it. Damn, I was hoping you had some kind of magical Will Smith insight.

A is for something that's not: Absent? Abstract?
B is for memes: b/tard
C is for compiling: C/C++/C#, COBOL, Computer, Compiler?
D is as well: I haven't figured this one out.
E is for parties: drug reference?
F is for homework: ouch
G is for smartness: genius!
H is for quantum of action: Plancking, FTW!
I is for beings: imaginary? (-1^.5)
J is for Will Smith: MiB reference
K is for Tommy Lee Jones: again!
L is for lesbian: I thought V was for lesbian.
M is for Moriarty: now you're getting lazy.
N is for variables: yes, yes it is.
O is for breathing, unless it's big in which case it is for anime Batman: no, two O's are for breathing... 3 are for layer.
P is for drinking: only because its sterile and I like the taste.
Q is for Continuum: yes, yes it is.
R is for politics or also religion: hmmm
S is for the House of El: Kal?
T is for around mid-afternoon: only if there are biscuits.
U is for shearing or milking: unless you're Scottish
V is for Vandetta: or Vendetta...
W is for lightbulbs: James.
X is for making things cool: hahahaha
Y is for doubters: why is that?
Z is for the birds: because the z axis is the vertical axis... you're so clever!

[Denarius]

Re: PF's PBP

A is for something that's not: Absent? Abstract? A-theist, A-sexual, A-straightforward
D is as well: I haven't figured this one out. D is a programming language, like C
G is for smartness: genius! Actually G-factor, as in the variable of positive correlations in cognitive tasks.
I is for beings: imaginary? (-1^.5) Actually a reference to the pronoun.
M is for Moriarty: now you're getting lazy. Unless it's a reference to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
R is for politics or also religion: hmmm R as in radical.
W is for lightbulbs: James. Tungsten
Z is for the birds: because the z axis is the vertical axis... you're so clever! As in ZW sex determination.

Edit: Also, pee is terrible tasting. Like water flavoured gatorade.

A - I completely missed this one.
D - Interesting... having been writing computer software for nearly two decades, I haven't ran into D... hmm
G - That works too... actually, I meant my response to this one to be kinda in line with F, H, J, K... etc... more of a reply than using the actual word you were referencing... It was meant to be read (perhaps I should have used caps) like the Guinness commercials, "Brilliant!"
I - wow... thought it was a two-stage math joke... i, the square root of -1, referred to as imaginary...imaginary beings... there I go, complicating things, again.
M - I was just teasing
R - hahaha, I actually thought you meant "Republican"
W - Again... missed it... thought you were referring to Watts, the measurement lightbulbs are rated by... thus, I went to James Watt, the man that the metric of "Watts" is named after... guess "Wolfram" would have been more appropriate to your line of thinking.
Z - My math joke is better than your biology joke.

Re: PF's PBP

I don't do math jokes, they're baseless and irrational.

Re: PF's PBP

Math jokes are baseless?!?! There are 10 types of people: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Irrational? Fair enough, I DO enjoy a nice slice of pi.

(sorry... don't mean to derail)

Re: PF's PBP

L is for lesbian: I thought V was for lesbian.

Genuinely thought we were referring to me, and it took me a solid 30 seconds to figure it out.
