I think I need to get out more - I might have an old <a href="http://www.rainbowbrite.net/">Rainbow Brite</a> Halloween costume shoved in a box somewhere circa 1983 that would fit in perfectly! Dan, but maybe, all things being equal, this is the simplest solution. What would that mean? Mark, nice photos!

I read with interest this dissertation on Paganism and rituals and pilgrimages and dieites. And after all that, you know what I think? I think those football fans are just nuts. Yup. Occam's Razor says they're nuts. And who am I to argue with a razor? Those things are sharp!! Hugs Erin and Jenny! Hmmm … very fascinating.

The photos are fun... How did I miss all of this? The crazy lights, people dressed as fairies or with pig-tails and flowers in their hair, lots of music and dancing. Hmmm, seems a pretty fun way to "worship" to me. :) Yes Mark,

All of that applies to the electronic music scene too... Special attire? <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tags/ravers/">Check!</a> Standard time and place? Most people have a regular night. Some just go all weekend... Ritualised behaviour and songs? Don't think that one needs any explanation ;) Dieties to worship? Well, put it this way. Everyone faces the DJ. Consumption of magic food and drink? Hahahahahahaha oh dear... Pilgrimages? Hell yes! Road trip out into the bush! I've been interstate a few times too. True Believers? Maaaan, there are some real fanatics out there! You know what? All of that applies to the electronic music scene too…

As a matter of fact, they are all out back doing a ritual right now...gotta run. Thanks Jason, I'm glad I made you laugh! John, a vegetarian football fan? That's pretty funny. Maybe they are hiding somewhere, but I definately have yet to find one! Ha ha, Jenny. As a matter of fact, they are all out back doing a ritual right now…gotta run.

In the UK we see the same tribalism. I remember talking to one man who was clearly a besotted fan of his home town soccer team. I asked him what his wife thought of all this infatuation. His answer...his wife was worse than he was! I guess it takes all sorts. Erin,
