Speaking of freakiness, Dan Weinshenker takes a hard look at some true freaks: modern heretics. Oh, sure: We pretend to hate our crazed butchers and flesh-eating psychos. Truth be told, we need them.
And when you're done reading about today's heretics, go hang with some old-school heretics at the Stone Circle Pod.

ALSO FROM TRIPOD

Here at Tripod, we don't need mistletoe... we just need to put our pretty faces on our staff page to generate our own Love Connection. Just ask Promotions Manager Karen Adams, who received e-mail from a Tripod member wanting to take her out on a date. Maybe we would have seen some virtual sparks igniting, if she wasn't already happily married.
The holiday season has us all in a celebratory mood -- Ari Blech, one of our Account Managers in the NYC office, got so excited after closing a lucrative deal that he jumped up on a desk in the new Soho offices and proceeded to do a dance of joy: leaping, swaying, and gyrating his way around what he thought were empty offices. Little did he know, though, that he was performing for Paul DeBraccio, our VP of Advertising, another sales rep, and her client! Needless to say, the unlucky client will be joining weekly therapy sessions with other innocent bystanders.
Happy New Year!
