What's the difference between a Satanist and a Luciferian?

Mostly how comfortable you are with a tie.

Thank you for being so... discerning :lulz:

I do live for the subtletease.
I try to relegate them knot.
I'm (k)not known as slow to tie one on. #actuallydrunkatthetime

Gosh you're much more fun than the psych ward Lucifer I met that one time... uhm @ bandcamp. All I remember of the encounter is that he could shoot a fair game of billiards and was otherwise not too terribly fun.
He made QUITE an impression on me but otherwise damn if I can remember what we talked about in particular.
I remember joking quite a bit some of it very mean, after my fashion. I remember it took him a while to loosen up socially despite that he had gone out of his way to invite me to play with him in the rec room.

I'm not comfortable with the memory gap but hey, it was bandcamp and there were drugs heavily involved for most of us.

How's that for a philosophy joke?

If you meet the local Lucifer but don't remember the conversation did you really take your pills that day? Were they really yours before you took them? Is it wrong to tease about Socrates' drinking problem and lifelong question habit? Is four questions too many? Is there REALLY a five?


Mmmmm... it's name is Java Lava from a local craft brewery and I  love  it!

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Sounds about right.  IIRC, during the game I went to get some cash round the bar and then accidentally hit my knee cutting back to the pool table.  Hurt like hell and I was trying to play it cool.  But, there I go, playing devil's advocate again. Very hazy. I think the event spawned all kinds of mayhem when I introduced myself as "Legion" to the peg-legged Pirate that I had mistaken for the owner of that fine establishment.  The rest is all liability.

So a man is being interviewed by a potential employer and the interview has gone well and is winding down. The interviewer asks the prospect, "What would you say is your greatest weakness as an employee?"

The man thinks a moment and says, "I'm totally honest with people."

The interviewer blinks and says, "I don't think that's really a weakness."

"I don't give a fuck what you think."
