Well it’s Saint Patrick’s day. Otherwise known as the international day of over-drinking with the Irish. So I shall raise a glass or two of Guinness today to help the Irish celebrate, after all they are cousins to the Welsh.
So Happy Saint Mick’s Day!!!!
And I shall share this recounting of a trip to Dublin that was originality posted on “National Nostalgia Week”
I was drinking at the bar in a pub with a friend when this young attractive girl came over and sat in my lap, apparently it was a quicker way to get to the crowded bar. So we started talking while she was getting server, well she started telling me about her collection of studded collars and such she had at home, and it started from there. During the conversation she pointed around the room and said “look at them all getting drunk on a Saturday night, its silly really as we have to confess it all in the morning, it makes you wonder why we do it!” to which I answer without thinking “I don’t know. I’m not a catholic!“. Have you ever seen a horror film when the people walk into a Inn on a moor and the whole place goes silent and stare at them? Its what happened, everything went silent, people stared, and I’m sure a group of men in the shadows started to put hands under jackets as if reaching for something. Remember the Catholic-Protestant issues they have over there. Luckily I had the sense of mind to follow it up with “I’m Welsh!” at which the noise returned to the pub, and several blokes came over to greet me and point out the Welsh hate the English as much as they do so I was all right. I then had several hours of drinks and anti-english jokes.

Whatever your Path/Religion/Non-Religion views are, I wish you well at this time of year.
Thig an nathair as an toll
Là donn Brìde,
Ged robh trì troighean dhen t-sneachd
Air leac an làir.
“The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bride,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground.”

Today is the Winter Solstice, The shortest day of the year, and therefore the longest night. It’s also considered in many cultures & historical cultures to be the end of the year, and the start of the new. It all its a very spiritual time.
This year the special day has been made even more so with a full lunar eclipse. Ancient man (and woman) saw the lunar eclipse as a omen of great importance, so this omen appearing on the actual solstice is very Important. And could herald a special/interesting time ahead. The last time this happened was in 1638, So 2011 should be a special year!
So We here at the Ninja Temple wish you all a very happy *INSERT YOUR CELEBRATION NAME HERE*.
So can i ask everyone to throw a huge party and celebrate. For we need to make a big noise so that Amaterasu comes out of her cave and brings the sun back to the people, so the days can start getting longer, and I can start getting warm.

Well its the last Thursday in November and I find myself asking along with 85% of the worlds population (Real statistics) “Where did the year go?“. I also find myself thinking about things I am thankful for. I blame the amount of Americans I know for this thoughtful mood, since its their Thanksgiving day. This year I decided to join in with my cousins from across the pond, and to do so I would have a traditional American Thanksgiving.

It turns out that if you try and order a batch of smallpox off the internet, to try and genetically modify the strain to wipe out a large racial group you get a vist by a bunch of men in black suits and mirrored shades, and a pat-down that makes the TSA look like a nervous schoolboy with his first above the clothes fumble.
Also, most races are slightly more streetwise these days, and you can not claim their country as your own with the cunning use of flags & the Winchester repeating rifle. Also the men in black will confiscate said Rifle when they leave
</PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT>
So this year due to the restraining orders, and the black vans, & choppers that seem to be just loitering in my vicinity, I have decided to just be thankful for some stuff. So I raise my cup of coffee to you dear readers, neh friends and am thankful of you. I am thankful for the internet shrinking the size of the world, and for good friends spread over its every shrinking surface. I’m thankful for good food & drink, Good films & Books. I’m thankful to @GeekShui who said if i turned up at his house in traditional pilgrim costume I could join his family for a Thanksgiving meal, And Dear Constant Readers I’m thankful to you, and you, to him and her, but not You, and you know who you are, I’m not thankful to you, not since you did that thing to that cat…
Happy Thanksgiving.
Your meaning of "Have me for Dinner" is different to mine!
GN: Well today is May 25th Which can mean only one thing! Towel Day.
