One of my favourite stories along those lines (most likely an urban
legend, but I like it anyway) is that a bunch of white supremists heard
that some pagans were going to be celebrating in the woods, so they
decided it was time to drive the pantywaist sickos away and maybe teach
the women what real men were. They duly got in their camouflage gear and
attempted a scare tactic raid, only to find themselves facing a well
armed and very dangerous looking group of hairy men painted blue and
coming at them from the cover of the woods as if they were materialising
out of the trees. They'd had no idea that there were men's groups, that
Celtic groups didn't just sit around in long robes peacefully worshiping
the sun, or that all pagans weren't weird old women who got together
because they couldn't get a man. As they were driven back to their
hummer they learned that not all pagans are the same.

If it's a true story at all, or in any way based on truth, I'd have
given anything to see the looks on their faces.
