BS: Jedi religion: what unclean beasts?

Subject: Jedi: what unclean beasts?
From: Steve Parkes

Ifthe move to get Jedi recognised as an "official" religion in the UK succeeds, I think it would be useful to know what it proscribes. Can we declare the sheep to be unclean? We can then object to children being taught "Mary had a little lamb", for example. (I believe a similar thing happened with the three little pigs with the Moslems. It's this kind of thing that lets people know your religion is a force to be reckoned with.)

May the twenty-fourth be with you,
Steve

Can we have a sacred animal too? I'd like to nominate the Dormouse ('cos it's cute) or possibly the Aardvark. :o)
On the other hand we could nominate the possum, making Spaw either a saint or a heretic, depending on interopretation!
But please, let's not pick anyone else's sacred animal as our unclean animal or anyone else's unclean animal as our sacred one. There's enough conflict in the world already.

Yer, go for the Aardvark. Aard vark never hurt anybody. And we'd be the first in the ABC list of sacred animals. Yet there is something appealing about having a sacred animal that spends so much of its time asleep.

May the fourth would have to be a major holy day.

Just for clarification - If you do enter Jedi as your religion it will just be bundle with the rest of the "other" and as such whether 10,000 or 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 people include Jedi as their religion it will NOT become a religion or be included in further forms as a choice!

Same with me, Midchuck. Though it's quite depressing to think that one's normal, isn't it? so dull and boring... :-) Now, if I had to decide I'd make the ladybug the sacred animal. They're cute and they eat the pests that try to kill my flowers. But are there ladybugs in that galaxy far, far away? If there are none, let's have the bantha instead! It's not cute but at least it's big and hairy.

BTW, I wonder what those allusions to Spaw and the possum mean. Please enlighten a poor newbie :-)

Mad Maudlin, I don't eat them, I hug them.

I lookie, lookie, lookie,
For a sweet Mudwookie
To share with me mudnoo...

what?! NOOOOO!

BZZZZWWHIPPPP!

It was Darth Sweeney Todd and his lightrazor! I was lucky to escape with my head!

Just a naked mudwookie,
Wishing for mudnookie,
While I play hookie,
From my lost bouzookie.

Darth Caitrin: Hmmm, I *love* Turkey Turd! We drink that a lot, here on Corellia... *burp* Don't know about the other Rebels, though, maybe those little sissies don't know what good beer is...

Naemanson, okay, nice try. But I think I'll make you my sacred animal nevertheless. If only for your poetry. :-) And I'll help you fight Darth Sweeney Todd - just keep him at bay until the batteries of his lightrazor run out. I saw him buy those cheap ones, so it must only be a matter of minutes. Shaving a Mudwookie's fur...grrrrrrr....how could he!

Star Wars is to science fiction as Hot New Country is to country music.

Why don't you people try some of the good stuff?

No No NO NoNo.It's.......

Stage name : - 2nd christian name followed by your street name. eg Penelope Chewton

Porn star name : - the name of your 1st pet followed by your mothers' maiden name. eg Snowball Burns " These are not the sheep you're looking for."

I've just realised that my daughter's PS name would be "Harry Hill"--I don't know whether I should be relieved or worried. "Repa Hisut" may be an improvement (who can say?), but "Alexandra Castle" sounds like a railway engine!

I finally figured out my Star Wars name and Porn Star Name.

Star Wars name: Brebu Damid

Porn Star Name: Christy Route 2

I guess my career as a porn star has been cut short at the gitgo.

Hmmm...what about people who have no second name? Does that mean they'll never get famous? *sniff*

My porn star name would be Nicky Haupt (I lived on a Hauptstrasse, or Main Street).

Naemanson, I like "Route 2"! May I call you Mr Route 2 ? :-)

Hey now, Midchuck! The fact that I like Star Wars doesn't change the fact that I've read more than my fair share of Heinlein, Asimov, and Verne.
As for stage name, I end up as "Marie Spring". *grins* Good thing I'm a techie and don't need it.

Right, Caitrin, the same goes for me. I've read nearly everything of Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, the whole bunch. good to know that there's another Asimov fan out there, I thought I was the sole survivor :-)

You ain't the only survivor, Mad Maudlin. On the day Isaac died I stood in my living room and cried. It signalled the passing of an era. Heinlein, Niven, Asimov, Anderson, etc. Some gone some still with us. the new guys have a whole different flavor.

But that's the thread creep we need to avoid.

I'm a Mudwookie, brash and big,
Naked, without a leaf of fig,
Before I take another swig,
I need a huge full body wig.

Well said, that about the passing of an era. I'm currently re-reading my Foundation series, and still find them as great as the first time. The robot stories are wonderful, too--hard to say what is the best of them. And,yes, I nearly forgot Anderson! Of course, he should belong to that science fiction writers' "pantheon" as well...

Naemanson, your Wookie poetry is really cool! The full body wig nearly made me snort my tea all over my monitor! There's a cartoon in it somewhere, I'll see if I get it out. Wish I could write fun stuff like that, but sadly, I'm just a scrawny little Rebel pilot in dire need of a haircut and no sense for poetry...but wait...there's something creeping into my brain:

The Rebel Pilot's Space Chantey
(Tune: The Lands of Liberty)

Then I'll cut off my long yellow hair,
Orange overalls I'll don.
I'll sign on a Calamari ship,
My passage I'll work free
And I'll fly the great big galaxy
In search of the Mudwookie!

Ahem. My two cents. (Yeah I know, but it's late at night here so don't yell at me :-)

(Stolen from the pun thread)

No I didn't notice any accent. Funny about the coincidence. One of my coworkers just left today to visit her daughter in Germany.

Ve ssink sis is not funny! *BG* That's really funny that your coworker went to Germany! She should have picked a better time, though, the weather is rotten over here--not that it's always raining: No! It also hails! Wish I was back on Tatooine...

Oh give me a home where the Sandpeople roam,
Where the Jawas and Banthas all play,
Where seldom is heard a stormtrooper's word
And the suns they do bake us all day!

A Mudwoookie am I,
And I fly Tattooine;s skies
In search of Darth Todd
Whose eye is rather odd
His light razor's slick,
And he shaved me so quick
And when the hair was gone
And on the floor scattered round
This Wookie now pale and pink,
Away to hide had to slink

But now once more I stand and roar
Over the sands I dip and soar,
Revenge is all that's on my mind,
That barber I swear I'll find,
My body wig covers me well,
Once more with pride I swell
Soon I'll have my fill
And his life's blood I will spill.

Imperial Space Chantey

It's a hey-ho, heigh-ho
Cruisin' through the stars
Shootin' down the Rebels
and hangin' out in bars
It's a ho-hey, heigh-hey
Our soldiers cannot aim
But still the Dark will triumph
and the Light go up in flames!

Hmmm...a poetry competition you want, Darth Caitrin? Hmmm? Alright, you asked for it!

The Rebel Space Chantey #2

We're close to the Death Star, it hangs in the sky,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
Imperials don't see us as we all roar by,
Hey ho and blow that thing up!

We're a bunch of no-goods but still we win fame,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
Who cares if our leader can't spell his own name!
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!

And when this is over we'll have such a binge,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
That even old Jabba with horror would cringe,
Hey ho, and blow that thing up!
