I'd like to point out that thousands of English bastards died on the field of battle so we don't have to put up with being told what day it is by bloody druids. Filthy hippies.

I slept with a Wiccan girl once. Does that mean I have wiccan too?

I find the idea that Druids and hippies are homologous, to be hilarious. They're not.

 

I also find it funny that people seem to think that Wicca, and Celtic traditional faith are the same. They're not.
