Thanks very much, Midnite and Garth...  a friend got me out of here Saturday and got me to a few brewpubs in insanely far-off places, not remembering the birthday, just a coincidence....

Happy Birthday

And in the spirit of celebration let's have a Birthday curse:

May your water pipes break and your armpits grow mold. 


Just kidding.  Best wishes on your birthday.  Keep up the creative caption.  It's always nice to bump into you on the forum.

Happy birthday!

Great Dane in Madison Wisconsin, and Capitol Brewing, I forget the others except one was the only brewpub in Rockford Illinois.   Thanks!  And thanks everyone, I'll have more to say perhaps after I force some sleep onto myself right now.    I'm glad I'm a magus as well as Magnus Julianka..... that might be the nicest thing anyon'e said about me!    Don't tell me it's a typo....

Happy birthday, MagnusTrask!  And when did you become a NEW ASCENDANT?  And do you know what that means any more than I do?

[occasion13] Happy birthday, MagnusTrask! And congrats on your NEW ASCENDANT status! [occasion16] [occasion18]

And when did you become a NEW ASCENDANT?

Believe it or not, Magnus has held that status for quite a while already. I'm actually surprised it's taken so long for someone to notice and comment. And in fact, he's closer to reaching the next level than he is to having reached New Ascendant.  [ghost_wink]

If you think about it, I'm sure it will come to you as the concept of ascension is a part of several of the world's religions/mythologies.  [ghost_smiley]

Well, I've thought about it, and I've even googled on "ascension religion" but I haven't achieved enlightenment.  Story of my life.  Are we to assume that Magnus is about to ascend into heaven (rapturously, I hope) and we'll never see him again?

Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on June 24, 2008, 08:04:38 AM
Well, not heaven per se - more like a higher plain of existence/enlightenment. Gods can still be gods but remain earthbound. But ascendants transcend the mortal world - though that doesn't preclude them from continuing to interact with it.  [ghost_wink]

Check out: Ascension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension). And you'll note that one doesn't necessarily need to be "morally good" to ascend (the Buffyverse concept being a prime example of that).  [b003]

Big literal LOL!!

Are we sure about that post count?!   I haven't really looked much since the 2600 "God" threshhold.     Let's remember I do these very short posts... in and out fast.... I feel as if I haven't met half the people here.

Strangely, I've only started hearing about this "ascension" idea via the extremely disappointing Stargate: Atlantis.

Sorry retzev... my computer can't handle YouTube or moving images in general.    I'm sure whatever it was was a cool tribute, or a merciless practical joke, or an attempt to control my mind, or a genetically re-engineered intelligent avocado with a limp, or something in that general category.
