That hazelnut song-ritual-snack-thing

[bnewman]

Because I'm just that kind of pagan

The hazelnut thing follows a ritual schema with which you may be familiar from your own religion:

• Pick a sacred thing.
• Is it something you can eat?
  • If not, pick an edible thing that can stand in, symbolically, for the sacred thing.
• Say something about how the thing, or what it stands for, is sacred.
• Pass it around and eat some.

In this case, we fill in the schema as follows:

• The sacred thing: songs and stories
• The edible thing: hazelnuts
• The thing you say: "Nuts From the Hazel Tree" by catsittingstill

Welcome to my religion ;-).

What is the minimum requirement of nuts consumed for one to discharge his obligation?

...sorry. :D

Just one nut, I think, I'm glad someone is paying attention, and you're not really sorry, are you?

...no, I'm really not.

:D?
