Reminds me of the SCA cartoon (featuring Lady Tudor Glitz) in which an ambitious reporter (a Geraldo Rivera wannabe) visited and SCA event and asked everybody if they were Satanists. Some answers: "I'm Church of England, that's period for Tudor. "I'm a Lutheran." "I'm Polish National Catholic." "I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in the other guy either." "I'm a Neo-Pagan. Would you like a slice of sacrifical watermelon? It's a perfect symbol: food and drink in the same bowl, and lots of seeds." "Oh, by the way, we've taped everything you said to us, and deposited a copy with our lawyer." It went on for several pages, with the reporter ultimately whimpering "They wouldn't do this to Geraldo Rivera!" Oh yes they would. -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com
