2112 - What is your avatar?

[Eddie P]

The wholesale soul thing might work...but it would be tricky. Remember, you have to have each soul allocated to a specific thing. It would be pretty complicated but it might work. I'll run the numbers and let you know.

JT-

Ebay is a haven for satanic activity, but soul-selling is not one of the things for sale, per se. At least, not soul selling of the Faustian measure.

[ThadFilms]

Now, this one might take a little cajoling... but we could always try to convince our young pal Mustangs35SMU to sell his soul to become a 5 star bluechip future Heisman winning quarterback... wouldn't guarantee a National Championship, but combined with a Mustang Club Soul drive, it just might work.

Of course, I wouldn't advocate such a thing for our young amigo, but, uh, that's where unscrupulous satanic boosters come in.

Are there NCAA rules against this sort of thing?

[ponyte]

All right, enough of 'soul' drives. And if Mustang35SMu sells his soul for football skills then it will clearly be an NCAA infraction. And since the school didn't have adequate process to control boosters' souls, we would instantly become Death Penalty candidates again. I am a little shocked that we have discussed souls selling on this thread and have not already triggered an investigation from the NCAA.

[BrianTinBigD]

I do believe that it is perfect legal for the football players to sell their souls at least according to NCAA Bylaw 1134.666 that deals with registered boosters, summer jobs and soul selling.
"You may provide a summer job or a job during the academic year to a student-athlete as long as the athlete has received prior written permission from the athletic department. The rate of pay must be the normal rate and it must be for work actually performed.

Athletes may sell their soul as long as the athlete has received prior written permission from the athletic department. The money received must be the normal and customary rate for souls with no premium paid based on importance of said athlete to his team."

So as long as you are a registered booster and do not overpay for the soul we are not breaking any NCAA rules.

The more souls we buy the better off we are. We can play the business down below against the corporation up above and see who is offering the best deals. I would think that the Devil would really pull out all the stops to guarantee a victory against Baylor whereas the Big Man might be willing to help us against the Godless Aethists at Rice. Throw in a few dozen of his favorite wings from Pluckers and we are on our way to a winning season.

Also, before you even ask I pretty sure that after this message the boys and girls in the God Quad are busy praying for my soul.

On the other hand it hasn't worked for Duke or for Wake Forest, the Blue Devils and the Demon Deacons seem to have a pretty rough go of it in football. And Arizona State hasn't had great success as the Sun Devils. Perhaps, it only works for basketball.

[EmeraldCityPony]

The pentagram is often mistaken for a sign of the devil. That's a common misconception. In pagan mysticism, it's actually a sign to ward off devils and demons. In fact in medieval christianity, it was used to symbolize the five wounds of Christ.

[Eddie P]

Great. Now we have Pagans in the mix.

DO we need to start praying to mother earth, the sun horse and the sea god?

[ThadFilms]

I hear our newest PonyFan goes by the name of 666SoulPony...

Eddie P, don't forget the thunder god, because he, like, carries a hammer. Walk softly and carry a big hammer... or something like that.

Wicca... that's what we need. WiccaPony.

[that's great raplh]

the question remains - what the heck is 2112's avatar about?

i ma not judging, just curious

[smupony94]

Raplh - there is a Dungeons and Dragons convention at the Como Motel on Central in Richardson this weekend, maybe you can find 2112 there and possibly pick up some recruits for 2006.

Actually, Methodism is a Pagan-based religion. At least, that's what the Rev. Mark Craig at Highland Park United Methodist Church said in his sermon last Sunday.

Raplh, it is the Red Star of the Solar Federation, it has nothing to do with the devil.

Looks like an album cover to me, Raplhie...

[MrMustang1965]

It also looks like a naked man - with his butt to the camera - with his arms raised up. Damn. I knew those art anatomy classes would come in handy someday!
