Hey everyone, I've been wondering, given the heavily eastern bent on Buddy and Seymours' religious beliefs, what were Bessie and Les' religious beliefs? Were they Jewish - I remember Seymour being referred to as being of "part jewish/part minotaur extraction" somewhere... Not much is said about Walt...Why did Waker join the priesthood? Any thoughts? Writing of Waker makes me think of the comments that Tim O'Connor made about the recent "tone" of the list. Some people are acting like they gave their davega bicycle away, only to watch the new owner ride the bike into oncoming traffic and end up in an accident. Folks, we aren't allowed to remain attached to our bikes once they are given, and if people dont know what to do with the gift, that is what they must work on. But it is our responsibility to continually refine what is naturally ours to give, and to offer it freely. I wish that people would remember that not all of us have given our davega bicycles away yet - not all of us have been asked! Or at the very least, I hope Scotty finds a reason to crack a smile - for the fat lady, if nothing else. So....*ahem*...why did Waker join the priesthood?
