It's harder than you might think to find appropriate moments to shout out in public, "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure!" :-).

Having seen the damned thing over 100 times, it's always nice to have someone else pick up the joke... "Whatever happened... to Stevie Case? That silicone, oversized frame... As she posed proudly bare, How I just couldn't care. 'Cause I wanted her to make a good game..." Well done.

“Whatever happened… to Stevie Case?
That silicone, oversized frame…
As she posed proudly bare,
How I just couldn’t care.
‘Cause I wanted her to make a good game…”

Nice try, Bonnie... or should I say, Herr Doktor von Bonnie!* *Respect to anyone who can identify this joke reference. Clearly this entire thread was a trap to provoke MD2 and I into fighting.

My previous post was answering Bonnie's, and it was made tongue in cheek with the previous "putting yourself down as a way to deal with not fitting in" in mind. As for Brummbar's: well, you know, I hardly ever claim to be right, I don't value my opinions enough for that, but I do love to try to present things in a light that will provoke thoughts. Sorry if I fail. I was more thinking of Erwin Goffman's work than Mauss'... actualy had competely zapped Mauss. Thanks for bringing him back.

I do think it's a minimal definition underlining the common aspects of all form of rituals, whether religious or secular, moral or legal, but it's only my point of view, and I'm just a nobody student of little academic worth. :) Don’t worry, as I said, I don’t claim that’s the best definition around.
