Listen to Our Latest Episode
Funny Photo Friday, Thoughtful Quote Thursday… maybe it’s time to add Rantful Wednesday?
So a few words on why the website has gotten a facelift recently, because I know a few of you are probably asking “Dave, what were you thinking?”
In our ongoing mission to automate mundane, repeatitive tasks, I came up with the idea of automating the releases of PCP. Up till last week, the podcast feeds were all maintained manually, by hand, in Notepad++. Not was this a pain, but there were many tasks that needed to be done in sequence to release an episode, which took about an hour a week. Worse, there was no reasonable way to do things in advance with our needs to edit both old and new episodes on an ongoing basis (as part of our Episode Documentation Operation). Every edit can (and often has) resulted in a broken feed.
Then, one day I was asked about an easy way to release podcasts. I came across Powerpress by Blubrry. I was amazed at how much thought went into that program. I’ve since created 1 Powerpress installation for all of our podcasts. Not only can any of the PCP crew now potentially edit past episodes, but we can schedule podcast releases and automatic updating of our RSS feeds. This will allow us to have a much more regular release schedule! Also, this lets us do more work in advance to focus on reviving PCP: The Blog.
A huge factor in us abandoning the Pagan Comedy Minute was the constant coddling we had to do manually with that feed. Now that we have migrated it over to Powerpress, we have a reasonable shot at resurrecting the comedy minute! As soon as I can locate all skits that have not made it into the comedy minute, that podcast can be resurrected. Think of it as the latest resurrection of good Pagan podcasts (a-la Lance and Graal and Eat My Pagan Ass).
Not just that, but we kinda had some nostalgia for the old blog and wanted to bring it back 
.
This Friday at 8pm Eastern US Time, we will be discussing Motley of Metaphysics, click here for details.

so in other words, sure you can swallow it, but you might gag?
I think so, but only a friend would pour it down your throat.

“Speak when you are angry–and you will make the best speech you’ll ever regret.”
- Laurence J. Peter
lol that sounds like a large portion of our episodes XD
At least our tirades are controlled surgical strikes of rage…most of the time XD
Certainly one of the best ones you have posted.
*yells*
DAMN IT!
i make angry speeches all the time…. hmm i need to work on that whole regretting stuff. haven’t tried it yet… can you take a wicca 101 curse on regretting?
“wicca 101 curse on regretting”

“course”, right?

Great typo.
Yeah, I could administer a Wicca 101 course on regretting, but I’d just be regurgitating Catholicism… jk.

“An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.”
- Jef Mallett
that would make sence
is that the same as
“if i wanted someone to talk out of their ass, i’d fart?”
lol
Ha! That’s great.
Haven’t heard that one in a while, the last place I saw that phrase is on a t-shirt worn by some fat guy…ah memories.
I think it’s more like “don’t fart and and expect everyone to believe you’re actually making a statement.”

I’ll share my perspective as I’m sure Ashlee will add hers later.
I left Texas on Saturday, October 31 (Samhain) taking Northwest Airlines arriving in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AVP) at around 7pm. Taking a limo is cheaper than taking a taxi to my mom’s place so I just took a limo. I love my mom, she had a nice home cooked meal ready for me.
The following day my mother and I attended what can best be described as a Catholic Samhain ritual. The hospital where my father died was holding a remembrance service to help move beyond the deaths of the past year. I’m familiar with the Catholic Day of the Dead, and I have to say this felt basically like a Catholic-ized version of Samhain to me. I’m very thankful to the hospital for putting on this service. Seeing as my parents are Catholic, I really had no issue with attending a Catholic service. I actually found it to be better fitting than a Samhain ritual I was hoping to do, as it better reflected the beliefs of the deceased rather than me feeling like I’m imposing my beliefs upon a situation. I feel very deeply that death rituals should reflect the person who died rather than the people they’re for – which is really the living survivors.
I spent some quality time with my mother on Monday. I told her to make a list of stuff for me to do so I would get it done. I also managed to fix my mother’s craptacular internet connection as best I could tell… yay for that. While driving her around, we came across some wild turkeys:
Rented me a Honda Civic from my favorite rental agency (I’m definitely a frequent renter there 
). Got a good deal thanks to the Entertainment book… which is now sold at Borders (one more reason Borders is awesome).
Tuesday, just drove around bored… typical fucking Pennsylvania, nothing to do. I was going to go to the shooting range but passing by it… well, let’s just say I know where the firing ranges are in Texas and the ones in Texas portray themselves better with regards to safety. Then I came up to the top of a hill and had this scenic view:
I had to pull off and take some pics.
Wednesday, Ashlee and I went to visit Qwertos. Since I was driving the 600 miles round-trip, Ashlee was the one with most of the pictures of the trip. Remember everyone, fill up with gas BEFORE you leave PA when going to NY. Man, gas is expensive in NY.
As we get to our meeting spot, Ashlee spots this scene:
Seriously, how is anyone going to reach up there to get those fire extinguishers in the event of fire?
Kudos for Facebook, for we were able to find Qwertos’ phone number when we realized we didn’t have it and couldn’t find Qwertos.
After eating some pizza near some middle schoolers having bizarre conversations, we raided a Barnes and Noble. Ashlee went to the music section, where we just followed her because our mindset was “buy… music? Who would do that?”
We spent a good 30 minutes in the New Age section making fun of books. I stumbled upon Spiral Dance. Not that I particularly agree with Starhawk… ever, but I do want to be informed about where people get their source material for random crap they spew on forums etc. So I bought the 20th anniversary edition of that.
The Barnes and Noble in Rochester also had a used book section. Nothing terribly interesting there, but I did pick up a book on Nazis and the Occult since I’m doing research into the small religion that Hitler allegedly (according to the History Channel’s show: Nostradamus Effect) perverted into the Nazi party. At the time, I had no clue this was a Jewish neighborhood. I’m not comfortable with Nazi stuff and this poor cashier is having a hell of a time getting a price off the Nazi book. It was two steps away from “price check on the Nazi Occult book” but all was good. But I hate it when stores ask me for my email, so I might as well make them uncomfortable, so I give my ImBleedingProfusely.com address – which always arouses interesting reactions from cashiers.
On the way out of Barnes and Noble, we find this hippie-mobile:
The trip was uneventful on the way home. While at a rest area on the thruway, I did buy a nifty keepsake glass that I’ll have to take a picture of when I get home.
As with my tradition of trips to Rochester, I coasted across the PA border basically on E, avoiding the high gas prices of NY.
The following day I was supposed to go see my friend Kimberly, but she never contacted me with when/where to meet her so Ashlee and I made alternative plans.
W00t, at this point the trip had turned from vacation to pilgrimage. Ashlee’s… friend with benefits shall we say… guided us to Columcille. This was much better than Ashlee’s directions of “It’s on the mountain.” Those directions are not useful when you’re among hundreds of hills!
Columcille was awesome, I have a bunch of pics on the PCP photo stream of Columcille!

We then kept with tradition and did a Chinese Buffet. Orgasm in the Mouth buffet had closed, so we went up to Dickson City. The guy spent 10 minutes meandering trying to fill up my Pepsi. Karma got back though, Ashlee had some crab meat and when pulling on it, slipped and knocked over a full glass of Pepsi! Ha, retribution!
After realizing Ashlee has no wi-fi, we meandered to the nearest free Wi-Fi which Borders now offers. Ashlee has already discussed that at:

We were most productive, finally hammering out an ad for PCP. We followed up the following day with similar productivity before I left for Texas on Saturday morning.
I’ll probably remember more later, when I’ll add more commentary.
lol and ouch!
poor silver ravenspank….. she gets beat up so much. maybe she can turn cougar and hook up with taylor elwood. I’m sure they’d have plenty to talk about.
I would read there book, but only becouse I am a sick individual who enjoys seeing how bad bad can be.
LOL!!
Is it worse than seeing Sean Connery in Bright orange man diapers, a bad toupee and knee high moccasins with fringe? Because that was so bad I thought my eyes would rebel.
“Sean Connery in Bright orange man diapers, a bad toupee and knee high moccasins with fringe”
OK, I’ll e the first to admit I live under a rock. When was this and where can I find a photo!!
Stop spreading this madness and add Stephanie to the list of fuckery that is “judge a book by its cover” worthy.
The movie is called Zardoz. It was made in 1974, and Netflix has it. But if you just want photographic evidence, then here you go. You have been warned.
