No seriously
It really sucks! Have you ever trued to save easter eggs for six months just so you can celebrate ostra with chocolate?! It is impossible!!!
I wish peanuts could talk....
hrm...
you could always try the freezer :-)
Make your own =D just get a
Make your own =D just get a mould (u can make them) melt chocolate and pour away. Its very satisfying, and you obviously burn off all of the calories beforehand by making it yourself =D

Oh holy Cadbury eggs of creamteroch
But I can't make Cadbury myself :(
umm
I think I've accidentally saved chocolate, just because I forgot to eat it. Also, I have a tendency to try to save things so I don't eat them all at once, then I never end up eating them. But, my dad (who is a congregationalist minster - fun! ... ick) never eats the chocolate he "gets" (aka buys for himself) for Easter. He has a white chocolate cross on his desk, still in the plastic wrap, that's been there for at least 3 or 4 years now I think.

It's obvious why it's Nate and not Stan in this strip. We Scorpios get the connection between sex and death, even if our resident chaos magician doesn't!
Which isn't to say Nate doesn't have a point, but it only goes so far. What about folks on the equator? Not everyone has snow at Yule, and not all critters have their mating season at Beltane.
Speak fer yerself
Mating season is year round. Trust me, I know. :P And Cancers are just as bad, if not worse than, Scorpios.
only a scorpio
would see mating animals and say sex

As an Australian, damn it's
As an Australian, damn it's annoying when we have to mix our traditions with that the Xtians stole of ours to make their own. Celebrating Yule on a bloody hot day...it's ridiculous! lol

I wonder, though... Is the Veil thinnest on Oct. 31st in the southern hemisphere? we know about the solstices and equinoxes... but what about that?

Oh My Gods for the wynn. ^_^
Hmm
Well personally I would say probably not. I think it really has most to do with the season than the day beacuse dates are just man's way of keeping time. So whenever its mid-autumn in the southern hemisphers, I think that would be when the veil is thinnest.
Blessed be,

yes and no...
See the other four sabbats are just placed between the equinoxes and solstices. Their dates are are just as seasonal as Yule and Litha. And I think y'all are taking the 'tradition' too seriously. They're just periods of a spiritual spike in the graph and the season simply offers us a way to celebrate it. Beltane is the fertility festival because that is when the lambs are being born. The season told us what to celebrate. Personally, I think the veil is equally thin on all sabbats. We just feel it more in the autumn because there's little else to focus on and we are surrounded by the slumbering trees, while in spring there's such an abundance of life we can't hear the ancestors at all.
My point is, don't limit yourself to dates. Imbolc isn't "february second" it's mid winter, between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. And it's that period of opening yourself to new possibilities as you await spring.
May love, darkness and kittens follow you wherever you go. Mau!
That's why I love this strip
This is why I love this strip. You have the occasional serious discussion, and then there are the times when the comments are as funny if not, ... and don't hurt me here ... funnier than the strip itself. I didn't even find the strip until after people started commenting so I wasn't even aware that it was a relatively new development.
I plan on buying the books, but I find myself wishing that the comments were also going to be in them. :o)
