What should we do with these very Christian Xmas presents? (Silly answers only, please.)

I’m pretty sure they were traveling to Jerusalem for a census, not on a pilgrimage. But the underlying sexy-time joke still works. :slight_smile:

:: athenist hat ::

The Goddess has no need for temples and little patience with temple-builders. One worships her only at her invitation, and said worship is expected to take the form of something either intellectually rigorous or socially useful. Studying calculus. Slaying bandits. Throwing rotten eggs at Jenny McCarthy. Etc.

That seems rather unfair to the eggs.

I wasn’t really referring to the Nativity story as Jesus was already in the womb at that time, but the idea that since the bible does mention later pilgrimages to Jerusalem in which they traveled caravan style (you know the story where they lose young Jesus for awhile because they are traveling in a big group), it’s probable to assume Mary, Joseph, and their respective families had also done this before Jesus’s birth.

Oh… OK. Yes, I agree on the details. Just wanted to jostle your elbow. :wink:

Both of those actresses are beautiful and Nyota Uhura is a really great character.
I haven’t seen enough of Ms Saldana to really make a judgement of this, but right now Ms Nichols is in my estimation more long-lastingly lovely.

You did NOT actually do that, did you? Really? You mean one of those miniature sets? hahahhahahahhaha Now, that is evil. And funny.
Two years old. What the heck did your brother do to deserve this? You have to tell us.

I agree that the Goddess needs no temples, but humans apparently do. Witness the Parthenon. I seem to remember a rather significant statue was in there. Perhaps her absence is because she rejected the temple and vacated to another locus.

Saldana doesn 't really do it for me. I don’t know why. Something about her face. It’s not displeasing, mind you; just not beautiful or hot to my eyes.

60s! Nichelle, on the other hand, was made of hot.

Filthy Etruscan! To throw the mistakes of Her youth back at her!

Put all of the paraphernalia on display in a glass curio. Then tie it up with thick rusty chains and an antique padlock and install it in the guest bedroom for when your relatives come to visit.

For bonus points #1: paint a Wiccan pentagram of protection on the door with red nail polish
For bonus points #2: use a lighted curio and install a red lightbulb.

I’ve got several of these. Won’t my heirs be surprised!

I remembered - Greer Garson. Talk about audio pablum …

You mean the set with the hand drum, maracas, tambourine, and scratchy stick thing? I most certainly did. As for what he did, let’s just say he was the sort of brother who, when forced to let his little sister play with him and his friends, changed the rules of any game so the first person to make her cry won.

And I believe 7 years later, she still has the drum.

Us the toys to make a stop motion movie version of the joke in the Aristocrats.
