Hi Kids.
I don't think I really need to go into the lore of the day, and all that, since that's been taken care of by the story tellers and the churches long enough. It fits right in with one of the classes that I have decided to take to fulfill my IP requirements, "Folklore and Religion". Sounds like it's right up my bowling lane. I'm excited to see what stories are covered in the curriculum. (You know how I like stories).
I think it's funny that this year St. Pat's falls on a Friday and it is Lent-so for my Catholic family, and their ilk-the tradition of corned beef and cabbage butts heads (lol cabbage/head...wink wink, nudge, nudge) with the tradition of not eating meat on Friday during Lent. As a vegetarian, this is never a problem for me, but I can see an unusual solution...anyone know where I can get Corned Tofu?
I heard that they were relaxing the rule for tradition's sake, and people could eat meat this Friday without having to say Hail Mary's while kneeling on dried peas or being exiled to Crete (which doesn't seem that bad these days.) You'd think this had happened once or twice before and there would be definitive church doctrines written on the subject. Maybe that's covered in the Dead Sea Scrolls...I'm no autistic savant, but it seems that this phenomena should happen every so many years.
Thought for the day: If you were an autistic savant, what would your special talent be?
