Amen, my sister!

Damn it Alex, there you go sneaking out of your pigeon-hole again. Now I'm going to have to find someone else to apply my broad generalities to...

Wow, I couldn't agree more.

YO- friends of the Wiccan/Pagan persuasion

Dear N~

I'm a Pecan (that's a cross between a Pagan and a Wiccan), and where I come from, if you wan't to burn an item from some dude that shat you off, this is how:

1. Take the item and cut it in half. If it's a big item (like a car or swimming pool) hire an earth-mover or similar from Kennard's (or the American equivalent of an equipment hire company).

2. Burn one half, using an oxy-actylene torch (or a match if it is little like photos or baby hair).

3. Place the ashes in a suitably sized mailer. For car and pool remains, call 911 and have them wrap it in canvas.

4. Address the remains to the intended, and affix appropriate stamps. This may mean raiding the spare coin jar in the kitchen. For large objects, a sheet of contact plastic will keep the stamps in place, and prevent inclement weather from peeling them off.

5. Place the wrapped/stamped object in or near a post box.

6. Perform a 'Pecan' ritual around the remaining half of the object. If it's big, don't trip over it, and if it's small don't step on it.

7. At exactly midnight, pee on it. That's why my cult is called "Pecan".

8. When the other party receives the burnt half, they'll either keel over, or piss themselves laughing.

9. Either way, you win.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

How about if you sell the good stuff on eBay, give the less good stuff to charity, and throw the rest away. Do you really need to burn something to get over it?

Awe Ms. Pallor,

Bear and I burnt a $hitload of fireworks when we were last in Texas simply because we ain't allowed to do so in Orstralia...but I do agree...perhaps anything less than that requiring a Kennard's hire could go to charity.

Come to think of it, perhaps Kennard's could do with the bigger stuff.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

Back to the topic at hand...Very interesting thread. I am becoming much more of a well-rounded person every day by hanging in this swanky pad. Thanks LoT!
