(Some of) the organizers of MiniCon have been kicking around the idea of 'Vegatology' for a while now. The 2003 opening ceremonies included a summary of the fledgling religion. I shall be forever banned as a heretic for making up additional ...err... facts about this religion.
ttto: "Banned From Argo", Leslie Fish
When we pulled up to Minicon to find 3 days of fun,
We ran into some cultists with a new re-lig-i-on.
The Sacred Bloody Mary was just one of their small twists.
We took a swig -- and were transformed -- to Vegetologists.
But we're - banned from okra, everyone.
Banned from okra (well, it simply isn't done).
Yes, every great religion must have dietary laws,
And okra, sad to say it, has it's flaws.
You get to pick your vegetable, your condiment, your spice,
But should you pick the okra, we will know you're born to vice.
Alone among the vegetables, the okra is a sin.
Now listen up -- I'll tell you once again:
That we're - banned from okra, everyone.
Banned from okra (well, it simply isn't done).
Yes, every great religion must have dietary laws,
And we shall not let okra pass our jaws.
Just heretics partake of it; they have no self-control.
To eat the evil okra is to wilt your very soul.
And even just to think of it is theologic crime.
So, verily, I'll tell you one last time:
We are - banned from okra, everyone.
Banned from okra (well, it simply isn't done).
Yes, every great religion must have dietary laws,
And we are banned from okra ... just because.
