Help[Facts] Re: Hey Pav and Nanaea! Whaddaya Think?
in reply to a message by Daividh
Just buzzed back to NC for the weekend and found a firestorm in the editorial pages. Seems like Iredell County, 30 miles up the road, has commissioned muralist Ben Long to do a theme mural for the Civic Center there.
@@@@ Heheh... They *call* it a "mural", shuuuuure... But the goodly folk know that it's really DEVIL GRAFFITI!!! :)
Long is good, best known for Christian frescoes he's done in picturesque mountain chapels near here. But this time he's seized on Iredell's forgettable motto, "Crossroads For The Future" (I-40 and I-77 cross there), and is including in that theme the goddess Hecate, intended to represent the "magic" of the crossroads. (What's "magic" about Cracker Barrel and Homer's Truck Stop?)
@@@@ The Cracker Barrel sells cheese of worldwide renown -- cheese with miraculous powers, that can prevent car accidents and divert natural disasters. That's why the Cracker Barrel's slogan is: "Cheeses Saves". As for the magical qualities of Homer's Truck Stop... I have no idea. Just something about that name that mysteriously causes one's eyes to glaze over as one mumbles in zombie-fied tones: "Mmmm... dohhhhh-nuts!"
The preachers of the region are up in arms, starting letters with statements like "Satan is OK in Statesville!"
@@@@ Ooo, don't tell the good citizens of Statesville that "Statesville Civic Center" happens to be an anagram for: "Ascetic, clever, evil stint". They might really get to thinking, then...
So, Che and Nanaea, your opinions? Is Hecate a threat to the Christian (make that Baptist) God? Is there anything remotely Satanic about Hecate? Lemme know.
@@@@ Well... Her name *does* consist of six letters... ;) But, nah, Disneyworld is a bigger threat to the Baptists. And, besides... Mickey, Minnie, and Donald *all* have Satanic names, have you noticed? And let's not even get started on why they named that dog of their's "Pluto"...
(Incidentally, after today I'll be off the site in KY til the 15th. See ya.)
@@@@ Will miss ya! :)
