stupfuckdity

"The doctrine of vicarious atonement is found in some form in most religions, and it is the body and soul of ours. The idea is not a Christian invention. It caused the Carthaginians to put to death their handsomest prisoners if a battle were won, the most promising children of their own nobility if it were lost. They were offerings to appease the gods."
"...when it comes to the punishment, the vicarious notion doesn't seem to work. There is the one point where you are welcome to your own, and no discount allowed to heavy takers. Hell is always at par and no bail permitted. Even ignorance of the requirements is no excuse. If you did not know any better, somebody else did, and you've got to pay for it."
(from Helen H. Gardner's Vicarious Atonement; Men, Women, and Gods, 18850.)

Notional Hand Job

The act of giving someone an imaginary hand job. This is done by shaking a a closed fist in the air, simulating a stroking action. This action is used for a wide variety of reasons, whether it is for raising morale, thanking someone, or congratulating someone. It is in no way wrong for one man to give another a notional hand job, because the it's notional, and not real. Either sex can give either sex a notional hand job.

"I gave my friend a ride home and since he did not have gas money, he returned the favor by giving me a notional hand job."

Notional Hour

If you had to fit your whole life into one hour, but you could do anything you wanted (no travel time, no need to do to chores, etc), this is how you would split the time and what you would do.

Angus was torturing the new recruits with the notional hour again. He just wants to know who will suck up by saying they’d spend 59 minutes at work.
