Having a lot of theater and arts up here, there are folks who like to celebrate 3/15 as kind of a gag. Some throw parties. Some are going to a macabre exhibit at a local museum (the more goffy preferring this)
Anyone have plans for the Ides?

Not really.
Would stab a certain Roman Emperor if I could, but it seems Brutus, Cassius and company beat me to it.
Damn!!!! Why do I ALWAYS get left out of all the fun???!!!!;)
hmm, it's a saturday...I'll have to think about that one
I will be protesting with some friends at the Founding Church of Scientology in D.C. as part of Project Chanology. I'd include a link for more info, but I haven't made 15 posts yet.
Well answer this one twice then already :1orglaugh I love wingnut fairy tales, but those folks just irk me. Travolta has one of hell of a falsetto though (tried one tune last night) haha.Quote:

Since people just worship money nowadays anyway (You can't say God in court or in class, but it's written right there in everyone's wallet.) it's pretty fitting that people are getting behind a religion whose dogma espouses buying your way to salvation.
No!! No posts unless I actually have something to say!Quote:

The reason they are moving it was it is the same week as Easter, so they couldn't have a Bank Holiday on the Monday in Ireland then have Good Friday as a Bank Holiday as well.
Was teasing you. :thumb: If you would pm me a link, it would be of interest.Quote:

I personally believe both to be true.Quote:

Likewise to you, Mr. Jackie.Quote:
