#16 ![]() "Ta muid anseo leis na Deithe a adhradh" (We are here to honor the Gods) If you saw a guy coming towards you in the darkness, and he was dressed in a white robe saying a religious incantation you could not understand... Would you rather he be a Druid, or a Jihadist Moslem? |

#12 Idiots. It was the WINTER solstice the druids were interested in... |

#11 At least yours were the more benign sort of whacked. Try a full-blown supporter of the Provisional IRA (with brothers who were in leadership). I'd take a Stonehenge worshipper over a nut-case Fenian any day.. |

#10 GORT - I get cockroaches in my Tupperware containers too, if I don't snap the lids right, but they aren't pets. |

#9 AC, you just reminded me of the “Harmonic Convergence”. I tried telling everyone that harmonic and convergence didn't go well together, but no one believed me. |

#8 Wow AC, I thought I had whacked out old girlfriends. Like the one that kept cockroaches as pets. Really - had them in little tupperware™ containers everywhere in the apartment. |

#7 Personally I always preferred to play rangers or paladins. |

#6 Many thanks, twobyfour. A friend of mine, also a hard-core type, had an even flakier New Age girlfriend. She could reportedly "explore the full range of the natural sensory experience" which I think might better be described in terms of the chrome on a bumper hitch. She once told my friend that she was leaving the following month and would be gone for a couple of weeks. The purpose was an organized trip by her spiritual group to Peru to meet some UFOs that were going to land at a harmonic convergence or node or something there. That was the word of their prophet anyway. My friend said ok, whatever. A few days later, she happened to be asking us about our general worldviews. I mumbled some platitudes but my friend, less diplomatic than I, declared that the world was a dangerous place and you should watch your backside. His flaky girlfriend was horrified. Didn't he know that we create our own surroundings and that evil and pain are figments of our imaginations? She concluded by huffily declaring that he was out of touch with reality. He said, "You're going to Peru to meet some space aliens and I'm out of touch with reality?" That romance didn't last much longer. I eventually did figure out how to meet girls who weren't crazy and did, in fact, settle down. |

#4 What I was trying to say is that we like you the way you are. ;-) |

#3 AC, I believe that it was all for a greater good. You would be, likely, someone else, if your relationship were to last. |

#2 I was born in Salisbury on June 21st, 1949. During one part of my misspent youth, I briefly had a girlfriend who was into New Age stuff. She thought I must have some kind of humongous paranormal powers since I had been born within sight of Stonehenge on Midsummers Day. I mistakenly blurted out that I did not even believe in such powers and she lost interest in me and took up with some hippie with a fake afro. Too bad, because she had some very interesting attributes and powers herself, all of them completely natural. |

#1 Enjoy! In not too long, looking at the way things are going, either there won't be Stonehenge, or it would be utilized for quite another type of spectacle. |
