I had everything worked out just fine for the party, and then Marjorie just had to come along and whup the bunny for everyone.

Get the whup the bunnymug. Industry practised by Japan, Norway, Iceland and Russia, which affords Greenpeace a badly needed opportunity to do something useful.
The Japanese have resumed whaling again. Whether Greenpeace will get off their anti-GM backsides and hop in the dinghies again is another matter.

Get the whalingmug. A dance that symbolises an entire way of life that was supposedly very intense, meaningful and sensual, and intrinsic to the human and natural worlds, but that was in fact never lived. The literal dance itself never existed, and those who pretend to knowledge of it cannot agree on what the moves were. More generally, a myth in the most amorphous state possible.
Jane spent her college years trying to find references to the acorn dance.
Everything is an acorn dance and nothing is.
Someone wrote a thesis on Renaissance painting and the acorn dance. It was rather sensual stuff and I still couldn't make head nor tail of it.

Get the acorn dancemug. Someone who refuses to bow to the alleged power of any alleged supernatural entity, however great that power is alleged to be. One of a group of people far wiser and more common than they are usually given credit for. Someone who thinks in terms of reason rather than fear. In particular, someone who refuses to let their perfectly natural fear of death overwhelm their reason. Someone who accepts that even if there were a god worth worshipping, which cannot be proved, the divinity would be worth worshipping precisely because it supports or represents such things as justice, truth, love and compassion, which are universal human ideals and are not, contrary to the propaganda, derived from any religion. Someone who accepts that, as guides to the good life, such ideals therefore come before all else. A humanist. Atheists are often accused, by religionists who have found support in postmodernist relativism, that atheism is a religion like any other. If anorexia could be considered a favourite food, these postmodernist types might have a point ... but I'm doubting it.
Someone once said there are no atheists in foxholes. Firstly, oh yes there are: and secondly, even if it were true, that would be more an argument against foxholes than against atheism.

Get the atheistmug. Pixie-like rock starlet born in Iceland in 1969 or some such. Died in a car crash in 1990. All subsequent appearances, including those in concert before half the population of Iceland, have been computer-generated. IT'S TWOOO!!!

Get the Bjorkmug. Initials SS, also known as the Deep Green Mob. Given to talking about Nature in a way that is second cousin to God Squad style. Can't hear the word biotech without steam jetting out their ears, firmly believe that "chemical" is supposed to be an unqualified snarl word, and understand the difference between energy and radiation like nobody else. They would like to open your mind. Some of them would like to use a pick-axe.
When the local Sandal Squad heard that Jimmy Brogan was growing seedless grapes in his greenhouse, they turned up with a bulldozer and mangled the place.

Get the Sandal Squadmug. I didn't care what anyone else thought of his wedding speech in the marquee; one way or another, unaccustomed to public speaking as he was, it drove me to the edge of sanity. So in the end I just got up there when he was finished and for the next three hours, until the Security bundled me out the flap, I decided to out-Herod Herod and went for it.
