And all of it sold in a garage sale behind my back when I went to boot camp in '98.
Every once in a while, I torture myself and see what it's worth on EBay.
I'll be over here in the corner, crying.

If you're trying to say some whack shit about Margaret Hamilton...
On a less combative note, the faces have gotten really, really expressive over the last six months or so.
No... rural North Central Florida has some odd pagan cults. Nice people, though.
I used to work with one. She was pissed off that ISIS had made the goddess' name have unfortunate implications.
Also at immigrants taking our jobs, but I don't think that was connected.

Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted,
Wicca good and love the earth and womyn power
And I'll be over here."
Voltron was one of my favorites growing up, although I didn't get to see much of it. The new series is surprisingly good.

You aren't alone, Wally. I still remember the sermon that got my parents to throw out my He-Man Castle Grayskull tower. I'm mentally preparing myself for Father's Day tomorrow. I hope your dad is still around. Just remember they tried with the best information they had

Was it the sermon about He-Man being super gay?
After I grew up, I met some actual pagans, didn't get turned into a newt, and decided to live and let live (which is sort of a key tenant anyway), and watch and listen to things that were enjoyable. And just avoid that conversation when I visited Home A. Home B is now watching Game of Thrones, if that tells you anything.
hahahaha this happened to a buddy of mine
he couldn't explicitly play Dungeons & Dragons, because his parents forbid him from playing Dungeons & Dragons
and in traditional rules-lawyer fashion, he asked his parents if he could go over to his friends house and play a game called Rifts
his parents went "oh ok whatever" because they had never heard about that
Well, if Wiccans want to call themselves witches who are we to stop them, but the word predates the modern spiritual movement and etymologically derives from a root which meant magic or sorcery, with a sinister connotation in its own time, so don't buy the whole song-and-dance that Wicca is an ancient belief system that was slandered and oppressed and that's why we think witches are evil. The word was always a generically negative term with much the same connotations we now have, and it was never associated with any particular belief system.
Wicca is a modern religion cobbled together from various older religions, folklore, and mythology. And there's nothing wrong with that (seriously, as with neopaganism; I can see how it makes sense to look for larger trends in past belief systems and try to synthesize a holistic system out of them), but it drives me up a wall when some of the hucksters who write books about it deliberately misrepresent or outright falsify the history. And then you get a lot of teenage/twenty-something goth posers who are just so desperate to rebel against something that they'll parrot it back without any second thoughts. I've met genuinely devout wiccans, and they were pretty cool, but there's a lot of bullshit that gets tossed around about it by people who are only in it for the image that bugs me. Same thing with Satanism, which, let's be honest, has virtually nothing to do with any of the Abrahamic concepts of Satan except they borrowed the name to be edgy.
PS. Apologies if that rant offends anyone, or if Phaserlight wasn't talking about wiccans.
p.s. Hail Satan!
