*whipping any woman within striking distance*
Heh. Never give in to that temptation. I’m warning you.

Lupercalia?
They got a shot for that nowadays..............
uh.....naked guys running around with whips?
Had to click the link to get to the bit about Plutarch’s Lives and the mention of Caesar refusing a crown on that day. That’s referenced in Shakespeare’s play, as well as the name of the day itself in the first scene where Flavius and Marullus are chasing away crowds who had come to honor Caesar and to remove decorations on the images of Caesar, on “the feast of Lupercal”.
sounds like great fun!
maybe Biden will implement a national paid holiday for us to celebrate it (and temporarily forget how screwed up he’s getting the country)

“Lupercalia was a bloody, violent and sexually charged celebration awash with animal sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off evil spirits and infertility.”
Typical Friday at the local dive bar.
We call those people "Bloody Idiots".
it is instructive to note how the Roman Empire started sliding down its infamous path to extinction after Lupercalia was “woke-ified”
So, it’s like a weekend party in the White House then.
Random coupling might backfire
Dumbass bullshit from the History Channel.
There was a feast day on the Church’s calendar of saints for St. Valentine, on Feb. 14. But the romantic St. Valentine’s Day was some time in June. Both were so minor that when a Victorian British author (I forget which one) found a story about couples getting married on St. Valentine’s Day, he mistook the June day (an obvious day to get married in England) for the one in February. So unless someone wants to tell me how a day in June was somehow related to Lupercalia, this is utter balls-to-the-wall steaming crap.
Feb. 15 happens to be my wife’s birthday. I had been wondering what to do for a special celebration.
“awash with animal sacrifice”
Oh the PETA “Supermarket culture” brainwashed terminology. We have had celebrations with animal sacrifice all along in ALL cultures. Each has it’s own name for these. We call them Barbecues...
Animal sacrifice, naked people with whips, random sex, public orgies - but enough about the Biden administration...
