I second that nomination.

I see a golden business opportunity here, one which could swell our coffers greatly.............

Imagine - we'd have the whole religiously correct food game sewn up. Add some of bear's famous beef jerky for export to the benighted nations of the world which know not of its taste and other benefits, and we'd have a world wide cash flow which I would happily make sure went to the right places.......

Treasurer, FICAS

I also second the nomination.

Will the Ritually Slaughtered Organic Beef be offered up in any kind of burnt sacrifice to The Scott? I think that some choice part of each cow be prepared in some sort of savory sauce (like BBQ) and then burnt (as in grilled!) in homage to The Great Scott.

Of course, as in all burnt offerings, the dieties don't actually eat the offering, they just enjoy the smell, so we'd have to dispose of the offering somehow.

I would willingly nominate myself for all duties regarding the burnt offerings- from preparation through cleanup. Yum!

burnt sacrifice

Sacrifices are "rare" in FICAS. Tho certain religious duties are thru a medium, whose jobs, are, of course, well done.

And that's no bull, I wouldn't steer you wrong about that, don't have the balls for it. There's too much at steak.

Guess I've milked this for all its worth, wouldn't do to get cheesy and churn things up. Things ought to run like butter around here.

Nomination accepted.

RUUUUUNN AWAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Ummm... Are you suggesting all the positions (subordinate to The Great Scott, of course) are up for change?
I thought I was wrong once, but it turned out I was mistaken about that.

Not really. I just thought there were important religious tasks out there with no representation in FICAS. And I suspect others have their ideas as well.

You are without doubt one of the punniest people I have ever met.

Pine, would you care to send me some ideas on ritual sacrifice - perhaps you could check out some of the rules - if you haven't sacrificed anything recently. There must be something in Talmudic Law that isn't too messy?

The Gemara lists up the four main parts of a sacrifice service, but 3 of the four have to be performed by kohanim and to my knowledge we don't have any in FICAS so we are kinda outta luck there.

Anyone have Aztec relatives?
