Acceptable holidays?

Matt, mark it 8. I'm with ya on that.
'just had a christmas thing last night, with a Chinese Gift exchange, oops thats not the preferred nomenclature. The "Nationally Neutral Gift Exchange". The food was good, no main course, all appetizers. A new one was out; bacon-wrapped stuffing balls. Awesome, everything is better bacon wrapped, maybe even bacon.
few beers, few laughs.
I'm ready for the next midwinter festival season party.

bacon wrapped bacon IS awesome

The Brother Shamuses and Special Ladies here at St. DaFino's Monastery observe this holiday almost every day.

In keeping with our Dudeist ethos, the beauty of this holiday is that it can be observed any time, any where, by anyone who keeps it.

It celebrates mostly that wonderful Dudeist tradition of abiding, of being so into takin' 'er easy at any given moment that you lose your train of thought and you just are.

Hmmm.. Welcome to Pagan Lanes, open 365 days a year.

...Speaking as a Zen Existentialist Taoist Postmodernist Pagan Dudeist........

Ahhhh, that must be exhausting.

Nah I just tend to tell people that to shut them up.

Zen = all is illusion
Existentialist = Pick a lie and live by it (or not)
Taoist = go with the Qi
Postmodernist = all is text therefore make it up as you go along
Pagan = Bacchus - more wine sir?
Dudeist = go with the flow ("What day is this?")

oh and I forgot the Erisian (pagan) = all is chaos so why worry?

Being recently ordained, (9-9-09, a particularly auspicious date) I am in a quandry concerning the "formal" holidays of the various other belief systems abounding in our world today.  My feeling is "Happy Holidays" is a cop-out compramise to political correctness.  Should I wish others a Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah, or use Happy Thanksweenmas?  At least then we can stuff the turkey with candy corn and tinsel.  Or mayhaps just start clean with, for instance, Yakisoba Wasabi Solstice?  For more info on Chrismahanukwanzakah, please see:

I say happy Festivus.   Seinfeld Rocks.  "A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!"

I'm a firm believer in Shomer Shabbas, or שומר שבת , The actual function of Shabbat is paying respect, because the world was created in 6 days and on the 7th there was rest. I have no intention on elaborating on this any further on what I have because I'm not qualified to do so.

So you elect a day of the week to chill and do nothing, It is literally an Island in time where you can relieve yourself of everything going on in the world and relax/ be at peace, In Israel on a Saturday nobody works, hardly anyone drives, everybody's out in the streets walking around and chilling, you eat a lot of food you dedicate this day to chilling and not worrying

And bowling?

[Spoonifyourhorny]

That Depends do you bowl?

[FuckinA]

Dudes, on Shabbas you "Don't drive a car, you don't  turn on the oven, and you SURE DON'T FUCKING ROLL!! SHOMER FUCKING SHABBAS!"

We all need to celebrate sukot!, you build a grass hut next to your house, and for a week you invite other dudes to sit, chill, feast, smoke whatever makes you happy and for this week other awesome dudes celebrating sukot come and sit in your hut and they bring their beer and their food and then you wander around a bit and share your beer and your food with some other awesome dudes its a pretty sweet holiday and its a week of eating and chilling, and if not that we need to celebrate international Australia week, because everyone likes lamb on the barbie

[FuckinA]
