featherynscaleSometimes not watching television can produce entertaining results. Last night, our ritual planning meeting took a tangent into cursing and the new Battlestar Galactica.

chaosdruid: So, I was watching, and (some character) goes, "Jesus!". He was using it like a swear word. And I was thinking, if they worship the 12 gods of (unintelligible, sounded like 'kobolds'), why do they swear with Jesus?
triadruid: Same reason we do.
agrnmn: They don't ever name all 12, maybe Jesus is one of them.
Me, trying to catch up: Twelve gods of Kobolds?
agrnmn: Cobol.
chaosdruid: C-O-B-O-L.
Me: And their names were IF, WHILE, NEXT, and...
triadruid: They defeated the Eight Gods of FORTRAN back in the day.
chaosdruid: Maybe K-O-B-O-L. Anyway, Apollo is one of the gods. It's like, "The arrows of Apollo are in the temple of Athena", and that sort of thing. And the far station that they go to is Ragnar."
Me: They have an excellent pub, I hear.
triadruid: Yep. Quark's bar has nothing on the pub at Ragnar. You do have to wear a beard in, though.
Following this fest of geekiness, we returned to EHQ to face the terrors of The Puppy. Reportedly, earlier in the day, The Puppy had climbed to the top of the woodpile, barked until he vomited, and then, barked until he vomited *again*. So when we came down to let the dogs out, The Puppy was making a sort of coughing, horking noise. "Did you bark yourself hoarse?", I inquired. But no. The cause of the sound was soon to be revealed, as he coughed up a big hunk of styrofoam. He'd gotten into the trash, and eaten some takeout containers. Not, you know, with takeout in them. Just the containers. Somebody had better come to claim him *soon*.
