Judy was brilliant in this thread, as usual, and Delia was hillarious; Delia, with Judy's help, really pulled off a good one.
A classic from the a.m.t. grooveyard! (But I must confess that I was mis-informed about the 'punk' use in the Guru Dev Puja; apparently the TMO techers DO use Sandalwood incense, in the form of 'punk', not pure camphor like they do in pujas in Inida. My bad.) But still, I'm LOL!

You may be intellectually skilled, but you're full of shit nevertheless. You really fucked up on this post of yours, Delia...

You may have used plain city water in your puja but no self-respecting devotee would ever use plain 'incense' in a puja. Punk, apparently, is offensive to the gods. Only pure camphor is used to summon the divine, not paraffin candles or plain DHMO. LOL!
