Thank you, and the same to you, testcase! Following hard on the heels of Festivus, Lupercalia is just the ticket!

"The historian Justin mentions an image of 'the Lycaean god, whom the Greeks call Pan and the Romans Lupercus,' nude save for the girdle of goatskin, which stood in the Lupercal, the cave where Romulus and Remus were suckled by a she-wolf. There, on the Ides of February (in February the ides is the 13th), a goat and a dog were sacrificed, and salt mealcakes prepared by the Vestal Virgins were burnt."
Now where did I leave my Vestal Virgins…
