>The other day I was picturing a UA adept holding a medium-sized TV over his head.  Painted on the screen was the phrase "THIS IS YOUR GOD". 

I know I've seen a t-shirt somewhere with a tv on it and the phrase "worship the new god".  I think it was a Rage Against the Machine t-shirt, but could be wrong.

>How many schools does this work for?  Because I think that might be a promising (if imperfect) litmus test for how well an idea fits as a focus for a magick school.  Cliomancy?  Until you get to those Civil War re-enactors, it's a little weak.  And Entropomancy is hard to fit too, unless it's on a deck of cards.  But still, I think it's got some interest in it.

Looking at my brother and his rollerblading friends, I'd say Entropomancy fits in their with the risk more than chance.  No individual tangible item really works, but rather the worship is the adrenaline rush associated with putting oneself in danger.

The sorts of stuff that appears on your average skating video are simply insane.  Especially the stuff not actually skating, which involve things like leaping from rooftop to rooftop several stories off the ground, or other acts of pointless danger.

Yeah, I'm glad the Mak Attack entropomancer in the main book (whose name I forget) has the skateboarding skill.  It makes sense.

Mr. Teapot
doesn't skate, but watches a lot of skate videos
