Thank you R.T. Sunday Mornig we will have an egg hunt. If the Easter bunny shows up on time,He is still pretty mad at me, a few years ago I was out Rabbit hunting. And well I thought that some how this rabbit raided my hen house, he had a basket full of eggs and I shot it. So if you see the easter rabbit that hops with a limp you know why.
Hello everybody,
I've been referred to the JREF forum quite a number of times over the past few years (especially while debating the history of Christianity and of religion in general)and I finally decided to participate. I have a degree in Ancient History from Leiden University in the Netherlands and I am currently studying to become a History teacher.

When I said I shot it ,I meant the Rabbit

So far, so good...
Finally registered
Colonel, I assumed you were confused about which came first, the rabbit or the egg.
In either case, I'm glad I registered. I've been reading the forum for a very long time (maybe 8 years) and have finally decided to participate.
My contribution to the next dinner will be Belhaven ale.
I know about the goat, and about Shemp, so no need to point them out.

Welcome Xterra I look forward to the Belhaven I have not had any of that in several years. I used to get it at a little Pub called the man of Kent in Hoosickfalls NewYork.and as our custom goes here is a glass of Goats milk and an Oatmeal cookie.

Thank you, Bell! Why yes, I'll have one of those. I'm tired of archaeologists claiming to be the only ones to live life on the edge.
Hello, I finally joined up. I was at QED Con last month in Manchester England, and chatted in the dead dog party with DJ. Remembered to join after I refound his card.
I attend lots of Skeptics stuff in the UK and am looking to spread it with panels at conventions.
I also attend woo in the pub talks and am subverting some of the more lucid attendees away from the crazy and also get the latest buzz on woo initiatives. I also get to upset some of the speakers with pointed questions, especially the nasty ones.
I have a software/science and gambling history and so I have both the science and trickster elements to my background. In a similarish way to how magicians are tricksters and valuable in our outreach.

Howdy all!
I'm a second generation computer programmer and third-generation science fiction fan, and I've been a fan of JR for over a quarter of a century. I've been browsing the forums here for a while, but never really felt the need to post--I signed up mostly to be able to follow an interesting link into a member's-only forum.
As far as religion goes, I'm somewhere between the Discordians and the Pastafarians, but as a Californian, I feel it my duty to invent religions rather than join them. So far, I've invented three, one of which (involving the worship of coffee) had as many as three members at its peak. (I'm really surprised that one didn't do better--a nice cuppa joe at dawn can be a truly religious experience!)
In general, I describe myself as a polytheistic agnostic, but I'm serious about the agnostic part. There is absolutely no evidence that would convince me of the existence of gods, simply because of Clarke's Third Law: "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." On the other hand, I do believe in coffee!
As for other forms of woo, I tend to be skeptical in inverse proportion to how far up the Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness they are. But I still wanna see some hard evidence before I buy any of it.
cheers
p.s. I'm not a fan of goats milk, but if you have any coffee...

Um, thank you kindly, but according to these ancient documents I have just hurriedly scribbled down, it would be blasphemous for me to accept your offer. For it is written in the Book of the Divine Bean, chapter 12, verse 5: "No Javacrucian shall knowingly partake of a beverage which pretends to be coffee but is not--unless he or she really wants to." And, somehow, I find myself unable to really want old motor oil.
I already pre-emptively declined any offer of goat's milk and asked for coffee instead. As it is, I guess I'll just have to be content with the roadkill. Well-done for me, please.
