"My very first conference paper was about the medieval canon law on desecration of churches through violent bloodshed. During the discussion section, someone asked me about whether there was a parallel problem with the pollution of churches through sexual activity. The phrase 'bucket of semen' was used. That, I believe, was the point where most of the room just lost it." -- stephe, responding to someone else's locked entry, quoted with permission.

Was this person a YRUU veteran? :-)

(to be fair, that's kind of on the extreme side even for horny UU teenagers.)

You're trying to make me laugh hard enough to snort my orange juice out my nose, aren't you? I wrote my chronicles of UU sex ed and its early repercussions already. I'm just gonna chuckle.

I just want to know how they got a bucketful except from milking a bull. Hell, I want know who thought about a bucket of semen. I'm contented with average human production per orgasm. And the UU church has stood me in good stead, though I haven't needed it much. It's nice to know it's there. I need more context to escape humour and confusion. But that's okay.

Bloodshed in religion is far more disgusting and normal. Alas.

Give me semen rather than death? Doesn't have the right ring to it, somehow.

How do they get a bucketfull? VERY large circle jerk?

What's grey and comes in buckets? Elephants.

This is just not going anywhere good. (snarf)

Well, not anywhere high-minded.

I'm trying real hard to keep from making a joke involving the phrase "extreme unction" here. Don't know how long I can hold out. ^_^

I don't know what it is. Not religious. It sounds like how I felt when I totalled my beloved car and my dog jumped out the back and ran across three lanes mercifully empty of traffic last winter. But I could use a proper definition, and just make the joke, already.

It's also called 'last rites' and 'holy unction' or sometimes/more modernly 'the annointing of the sick' and used to be reserved for those on the brink of death - or sometimes freshly dead, tho that's not quite cannon.

In todays catholic church, it's not so much a brink of death thing, but a 'hope this helps' sort of thing and can be used in various degrees of illness - that is, it's no longer restricted to the immediately terminal.

My mom's an ex nun who teaches sunday school - I pick stuff up.

I don't know what the joke would have been, some sort of pun I suppose.

Thank you. Your definition was more enlightening than my dictionary's.

Now I have to figure out a joke that hooks that to a bucket of semen, other than the painfully obvious. We were discussing church desecration, right?

Maybe something in a pro-wrestling announcer voice?

Welcome to X-TREEEEEEME UNCTIONNNNNNN!

I would think that it is more difficult to determine whether or not someone is "on the brink of death", rather than just that they're very ill, so it makes more sense as a "hope this helps" thingie.

Okay, y'all win. You gave enough images for my sick mind to put together and I snorted my orange juice.

Nice, big church. Extremely or fairly ill people on cots in the aisles. Plenty of nuns to tend them, buzzing about.

On the the dais we have an elephant, and a bull (for backup), in case the elephant gets shy. we have 3 buckets, 48 cups, and 50 monks sitting in a circle around the elephant. Well, we may need an extra for the milking parts, especially if we need the bull. Depending on how many illthere are, the monks might be sufficient, unless we're supposed to coat the pews, too.

Once we have enough semen, The officiant administers holy communion and then the unction, with a basting brush. Then we coat the pews, maybe.

I am sorry if I have offended. I mean no ridicule to anyone's religious beliefs. It's just that the concept of desecrating a church with sexual activity instead of bloodshed got my humourous side piqued.

I haven't written yet about my refrigerator and the repair process, but hysteria and sarcasm are calming influences.
