>Lutherans: I'm picking fun of the ECLA types<

Hey, I resemble that remark!

[jackibutterfly]

Are you agreeing with me, or are you saying, "yeah, sure, of course, whatever you say"? Can't tell. The reason I know is I was there for a couple of weeks several times - that's what I saw, and that's what the Hawaiins told me.

[dangus]

No, I say it like that because I'm kicking myself for my bone-headed screwup.

[jackibutterfly]

Oh,whew! I thought you were making fun of me. Well, no big deal. Just had to throw my 2 cents in. Thanks for answering me.

[Eurotwit]

Put your peanuts back into the bag. I don't argue with people that got Mona Sahlin in government,

:-P

Norwegians are frequently confused;
shoot, Norwegians living in North Dakota, tired of being the butt of jokes, decided to march on Washington.

When last heard from, they were half way across Idaho...

[Revolting cat!]

Those Norwegians oughta chill out - they've been living too long in the tropics!

Drat now GW has gone and spilled the beans on the whole Halliburton/Rove/Satanic plot to take over the world.

Guess we'll just have to come up with another plan......

[Eurotwit]

It's spelled Vidkun.

And, get some help.

>if Lennon did it, it really must have something to do with Old Nick

The real life photo is a chapter title page in this good, cool book. I looked around, but couldn't find the real photo on line. Found this though!

[mewzilla]

Wow. Thanks, that's a hoot :) I loved that movie.

It's spelled Vidkun.

And, get some help.

Do you feel better now? Pettiness, arrogance and condescension are terrible attributes.

[Eurotwit]

I feel a lot better. Thanks.

BTW. Your post was highly offensive, and I felt very provoked.

But, I should not have posted an angry reply, and I appologize.

[Beckwith]

Europeans can say anything about America and Americans, but get highly offended if anything is said about Europeans.

Europeans can dish it out, but they can't take it.

I appreciate your apology. I never intend to insult my fellow Freepers but referencing history shouldn't insult anyone.

When I was a kid (Pittsburgh, PA area 1950s & 60s) the Hook'em, Horns gesture meant b*llsh*t.

Satanists making the "satanic salute" to an altar displaying the Goat of Mendes or Bahomet, to acknowledge their allegiance to Satan, during a satanic ritual.

The Mano Cornuto or Horned Hand is an ancient symbol used to protect against the evil eye. In Italian, mano means "hand" and corno means "horn". This symbol also represents the Horned God of the Witches, and is especially sacred to the Strega.

The "horned hand" or "cornu" is a closed fist with index and little fingers extended. Many Christian "experts" claim that it is a Satanic salute or recognition sign. Actually it means a lot of different things in different cultures. To the Wiccan in the Georgian tradition it is an integral part of the first degree initiation and is used in invocation to the God prior to admitting the candidate to the Circle. In American sign language this hand symbol means "bullshit." To some Native American groups it is the Sign of the Buffalo. Piru (Bloods) gang members use it as a recognition symbol. It is also a recognition signal for members of the Texas Longhorns football team.

Hook'em, Horns gesture meant b*llsh*t - that is the sign language meaning of the hand gesture.
