I know what ya mean.
All of those cults and cultures with their own calendars are weird.
Creeps me out thinking that every day is a holiday for somebody else!

That's a cheap shot.

No it wasn't. You were rather rude about someone else culture.


There are very good reasons for my reaction. I'm not about to explain
them on a public forum.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have made disparaging comments in the first place.

That's a stretch, given the humourous tone of KM's reply. In addition she
added a 'sorry' at the end.

"That Badger_South guy has always given me the screaming heebie-jeebies, sorry."

The "sorry" doesn't really remove the insult, does it.

I wouldn't have commented myself, but blackrose had the nerve to complain at
someone else's joke (and that one *was* reasonably funny).

Why don't we move along back to biking. ;-)

Good idea.

Why do I always get numb hands if I cycle against a strong wind.

Leaning harder on the 'bars, I suppose.

I'm glad *someone* got it.

It has nothing to do with culture. I have an intense interest in
culture and language, I read National Geographic and various
anthropology and archeology magazines cover-to-cover every month, yada yada.

I get the screaming willies at anything that smacks of mysticism.
Anything. Even Roman Catholics doing Fatima devotions give me the
shudders, and my own father was a French Canadian Roman Catholic. It's
a big stretch to claim that my personal reaction to mysticism is some
kind of disparaging statement. That's like claiming my distaste for
spicy food means I don't like Mexican culture.

It. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. Culture.

Nothing.

Why don't we move along back to biking. ;-)

Yes, let's.

The Tree of Life ain't Eastern, although it is mystical.
