As it happens, the mysterious pumpkin-smasher did not return this year. This could be because she actually held a grudge against the previous inhabitants of the house and has realized that they no longer live there. Or, it could be that it was a random, drug-induced incident, not likely to recur. Or, it could be that enough people saw us playing pumpkin katana baseball on the front lawn on Saturday that the entire neighborhood now knows we're armed.

Speaking of pumpkin katana baseball, there could be game on tonight before the grove meets, weather permitting. We've got a damn lot of unmolested pumpkins sitting on the porch, and gods know you don't want to try and eat the stringy bastards.

Now, I did notice a lovely lot of sugarpie pumpkins at WF yesterday. Pumpkin soup is a distinct possibility. Also noticing at WF, [livejournal.com profile] zylch, the lovely cashier boy seems to be a Thelemite. Have you noticed this?

pumpkin katana baseball? that sounds like a blast!

IS YOUR CASHIER BOY A THELEMITE? How to find out...

1. Does he wear "Coil" or "Tool" t-shirts constantly?

2. Does he yell "93" randomly at people?

3. Is he often drunk on the job?

4. Does he seem like a proto-facist?

5. Does he randomly quote Crowley? Even and especially the dumb sexist or racist Crowley quotes?

6. Is he obsessed with sexual fluids?

7. Does he grab his "Mystic Rood" alot?

If you answered yes to any or all of the above, your cashier boy might be a Thelemite... Or at least a Crowleyite.

Did you see the posts about Pumpkinhenge? We're devout Druids, we are...

Will somebody please post here a link to the Chronicles of Pumpkinhenge for Petey?

There were *some* few remains of someone's pumpkin in the road today, further down toward the Firecracker house. It is of course possible that this was a self-smashing, or just a random neighbor's house getting hit instead of ours.

More years of data are required. I think pumpkin katana baseball cannot be detrimental to our household's security and safety in these troubled times, however.

I did see that, but I thought that Firecracker House smashed their own pumpkins.

I suppose that it's also possible that potential pumpkin-smashers saw Pumpkinhenge and assumed that all possible damage had already been done and there was no point in further destruction.

Hard to say.

I posted it yesterday, but here it is again:
Pumpkinhenge (http://gaia-kat.addr.com/pumpkinhenge.htm).

It doesn't look like all the pics are still there though, so perhaps [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants is doing something with it.

I have not noticed this, but I know not how to tell a Thelemite from any other -ite. He doesn't seem to fit any of P's criteria...

is it astronomically accurate?

*shrug*
It's not perfect, but it's not bad. We're really expecting it to be gone long, long before solstice, though, so we'll have no chance to test it.

While we were building it, though, a helpful neighbor did ride by on his motorcycle and inform us that in our location, true north and magnetic north were 3 degrees apart. Nice of him.

I don't know - it's been my observation that most men are prone to grabbing their Mystic Rood on a fairly regular basis.

We came to this conclusion based largely on his tendency to wear t-shirts emblazoned with the Unicursal Hexagram. Well, that, and our tendency to find "Thelemite" to be a pretty funny thing to call someone. So it's pretty spurious really.

Still, we do encourage fierce anti-magicians to date fierce magicians. It ensures that you never run out of things to argue about.

Speaking of pumpkin katana baseball, apparently one of the managers for our department lives around the corner from us and said she saw us tossing pumpkins.

Ms. Powell is manager for the Social Services functions of our/my department, including running the building I work in.

So that's fun...
