Hi there

Been awhile, hain't it?

Started a new job that, while I enjoy many things about it, the schedule not so much. I've always been a night person, and having to get up at 6am is still difficult.

Will try to post more often so that I don't continue my downward slide off everybody's radar.

How many ________ does it take to change a lightbulb?

Wrote these awhile back. Was going through old entries, and decided they were too good not to dust off and share again. Feel free to add more in the comments, should you so desire.

So anyway, the thing at the time was that I'd decided to try and come up with some new pagan variations on the lightbulb joke, and these were the ones that, as far as I could tell, were original to me:

Wiccans: Seven: One to call the elemental spirits at each quarter to guard the sanctity of the circle, one to invoke the god to escort the spirit of the dead bulb into the Summerlands, one to invoke the goddess to breathe life into the new bulb, and one to perform the symbolic representation of the Great Rite that is the insertion of the bulb into the socket.

Discordians: Only one, but he'll swap the dead bulb with somebody else's live bulb.

Dianics: Only one, but the entire coven will have to discuss the way that the shape of bulb and socket are representative of patriarchal oppression beforehand.

OTO: None. The light bulb's burning out was the ultimate expression of its True Will.

Setians: None. The light is only there to distract us from the of darkness at the core of our own souls.

Voudoun: None; simple household tasks like changing light bulbs are what they make zombies for in the first place.

Deists: One. Arriving at illumination is your own responsibility.
