I’m not catholic. I actually have no religious beliefs of any kind (aside from a deep believe that 8 spaces don’t make a tab). However, the catholics are no sillier than any other faith – particularly the Irish Catholics.
They celebrate the feast of St. Kevin on the Third of June. At my house we also celebrate St. Kevin day, the girl is chairing the planning committee this year. Check back for updates.

“He was known for his disdain of human company, especially that of women; his name was used in Ireland as a term for men with cold relations with women up until the 19th century. An extreme example of his chastity was the instance when he pushed an amorous woman into a patch of nettles.”
Sounds like a real winner.

Sounds dead on.

I haven’t heard about any feasting or nettle patches. What did you come up with to celebrate the big day?

A patch of nettles sounds pretty kinky, actually.

Yo thanks for pointing this out… since I too am completely NOT catholic… however, much many american catholics… I feel completely justified in taking things from their religion, and apply them to my own life…
For example, one such thing is St.Richard. Dude. I’m a Saint TOO… ask ANYONE!! As for my Saint day… Let all you chicks know that the Feast of Richard Day is April 3rd. I’ll celebrate it TWICE next year, since I missed it this year…
As for whoever this St.Richard character was… I don’t claim to know any more about him than what is described in his wiki…
On a completely different topic… In this post… You’ll note that I have successfully taken on a new moniker.
