What did you sacrifice today?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Well today is the Autumnal Equinox - so what did you sacrifice to honour the gods?

I am holding off until lunchtime and then i’m going to sacrifice a chicken (Thai Chicken Soup) or maybe a pig (Sausage sandwich) if i can’t find the right type of chicken. That should keep many gods happy.

My vegan colleague has sacrificed some wheat (Weetabix[sup]TM[/sup]) to appease the fertility gods and Fellahbilongzelie is going to be sacrificing some willow (Aspirin*) to keep the tree gods happy.

So what are you going to sacrifice today?

*Why yes, he was out on the town last night, why do you ask?

I gave my last three really tasty grapes to my rats - does that count?

3

So far, all I’ve sacrificed today is some coffee beans and some wheat (a piece of bread).

Honestly, though, O Great Gods Of Whatever, I plan to sacrifice a whole lot more for lunch.

I’m probably going to sacrifice a cat if Cricket keeps sticking her feet in my coffee cup. Nevermind, the Goddess wouldn’t appreciate that, so I’ll have to think of something else. I have a Booster Club meeting tonight (hockey)so a section of cow will be given to the flames (on a temporary basis) in my name.

Firstborn.

6

A half pack of Marlboros and a can of Dr. Pepper. Oh, and coffee.

While I’m thinking about the Autumnal Equinox, I thought I’d note that the city of Dallas is celebrating this today by having record high temperatures; it’s supposed to get to 101°F , or about 39°C IIRC. Whoooeee! What better way to celebrate autumn than by hanging on to summer.

Stupid mother nature

My sanity.
I just adopted another kitten.

That makes eight.

… the lives of a dozen brave soldiers to take that hill!

10

I bought one of those “World’s finest Chocolate” candy bars, the ones that cost $1, and go towards charity. (A local school.)

It tasted like waxy crap, not how I remembered them. That’s one dollar sacrificed.

Oh, and I sent a goat into the desset, so that Azazel could have a good meal. :smiley:

11

I made a burnt offering - a coupla ciggies, and the fruits of the field (had some coffee). The gods are pleased.

12

I sacrificed a cinnamon-raisin bagel earlier today. As soon as I’m finished typing this, I’m going to sacrifice a peanut butter sandwich, potato chips, and a Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream sandwich. Tonight, I’ll sacrifice some pot roast, with potatoes, carrots and green beans, followed by another ice cream sandwich (which, at great cost to myself, I will continue to sacrifice at a rate of two a day until the box is empty).

13

In approximately 4 hours, I will sacrifice a pint of Guinness.

Maybe two.

:slight_smile:

14

I sacrificed a bacon chicken wrap at lunch. Tonight I will sacrifice some chicken fried steak. The gods will be surely appeased.

15

I sacrificed a year-old lamb on a low stone altar in the woods. I pulled out it’s still-beating heart and held it up to the skies, so it’s life essence could join the Sacred Herd.

And then I woke up!

I gotta stop eating frozen pizza right before bedtime …

16

What, no one sacrifices a nice, old-fashioned goat anymore?

17

Ahem

18

I sacrificed half of a muffin, some soup, and a yummy piece of chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Later, I might sacrifice a chicken, too.

19

A workgroup laser printer. It shall crumple our pages no more!

I’m not able to do an Office Space-style beating in the parking lot, but I was able to extract the laser assembly. Interesting lenses inside!

Wasn’t a complete sacrifice though - I gave the network card and the rollers to an associate that’s got one of these printers.

So… some kind of goat ice cream, then?

What, you thought that no one would catch that?
