Does anyone actually read Time anymore? it has been a checkout line rag for stacked decades. We had a subscription at our house to it up to the early 1980s. U.S. News and World Report too. (and for me, Omni and Astronomy). Is there anything relevant in Time anymore?

As Maddy Prior once sang:
I'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day.
i'll do as much for you as any maiden may.
i'll make you rue the very day that you were born.
i'm a bonny brown girl.

For me it's Spring. May Day. Beltaine.
"May I make my fond excuses for the lateness of the hour,
but we accept your invitation, and we bring you Beltane's flower.
For the May Day is the great day, sung along the old straight track..."

That's a thing? It wasn't when I was coming up. Got my first deck at Walden Books

That is funny. I was just mentioning him to another friend of mine about an hour ago. "How to help yourself with White Witchcraft". One of my first, if not my first book.

Thank you Isadore Greenbaum. When Nazi's march, that is "Slug a Nazi Day"

Thank you! Recently I had an astrologer tell me that we were celebrating Samhain on the wrong day. "The maths don't lie". I agreed that the date he proposed was mathematically significant, but that's not Samhain, it's something else.

The foster that we got our cat from named her Oreo. It was obviously wrong though. We named her Penelope - Pepe le Pew's girlfriend. And being a cat, she needed a last name. Lane. Yes, Penny Lane.

Mine was "Helping yourself with white witchcraft" by Al G. Manning. It was a little hokey, but not too far off the mark, as self-help books go. I think that was like 1977, not too long after a fraternity brother at GT started reading Tarot for everybody.

You didn't quit. You cut the mooring lines. Now X is adrift... from God...

Post by Roddy, Canadian flag in his handle:

Americans. 

If you're wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons into the country.

This is pretty funny.

Also when it was remastered the background colors of most of the scenes changed. Some of them drastically. The originals were hand painted.

I'm not a real fan of any of the changes.

There doesn't seem to be an exact year. I remember it in the 80s. The full version, including Hermey's "I Want to Be a Dentist" song, is included in most home video releases. But who would actually go buy it? C'mon, its proper place is on a local tv channel.

The song about Hermey the Elf wanting to be a dentist in the 1964 animated special *Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer* was originally part of the TV special but was edited out of later broadcasts. for brevity and relevance. It was cut in many TV airings starting in the 1970s.

God died? I guess Time magazine was just plain prescient.

Good to see you here

Did you figure it out? What do you do, just put a hashtag in it?

So, no videos here? That might be a good thing.
