Name something you do to propitiate the gods

[datasuspect]

i take the hind quarters of fine oxen and wrap them in strips of fat and herbs, then roast it over a hot fire so that the aroma might please the gods.

2. I process enormous quantities of distilled and brewed beverages through my urinary system then use

the byproduct to nourish and sate the earth gods.

:toast:

3. I make an enormous pile of palm fronds and have a big bonfire....

in honor of the great-but-little-known god dog.

Do you know how difficult it is to find palm fronds in Chicago? They won't let me anywhere NEAR O'Hare anymore.

:shrug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

:mad:

12. I live in Lake County, right across the border...

I've never seen mosquitoes this bad. Its the flooding we had recently I suppose.

4. I honor the gift of life they have given me

by living my life as well as I can, as fully as I can, and as happily as I can. I figure the only reason they created us is to live vicariously through us, so I'm giving them a life worth paying attention to.

:silly:

[datasuspect]

8. that's a damn good answer

[ThomCat]

11. Thank you.

What god his his/her/its right mind would want a gift of smoke from burnt cow anyway. :P

10. To avoid being smitten,(smited?) I usually pour a libation.

Down my throat.

[datasuspect]

14. back in my days in the piraeus

we'd have a libation bearer on standby to ensure the appropriate levels of barley and cheese were maintained with the wine. they'd be plenty busy mixing that sucker all day.

[IndianaJones]

13. do you eat it? nt.

[datasuspect]

15. no, we just burn it

it would be blasphemous to consume the gods' portion.

[IndianaJones]

17. you are humble before the gods. your reward will be great. nt.

[lost-in-nj]

18. I go to a big box

and choose certain fabrics to be worn, and I use my plastic
card so the machine god can have a taste as I run it through the
slot.....
The machine god is very happy when I go to the box and run my card
through it........

19. I take four young golden eagles

and burn them alive while praying, that they may carry my prayers skyward.

Doesn't EVERYONE? :shrug: :eyes:
