YHVH

Tetragrammaton -- The formula by which a vicious demonic desert blood-god of the ancient semites identified itself to Moses. It must truly have been terrifying to be a people 'Chosen' for special attention by such a monstrous entity, as the woeful narrative of the Old Testament makes clear.

The ancient provenance of YHVH is either a storm-god or a god of destruction and fire, with a taste for blood and sacrifice.

balloon dance

A burlesque performance involving a dancer garbed in an outfit comprised of balloons. As the dance proceeds, audience members are invited to pop the balloons, eventually revealing the dancer's nudity

We watched the balloon dancer for a while, and eventually discovered she was not a natural blond.
