Title: Christmas Presents (pimp your crafts)
Post by: BabylonHoruv on November 17, 2011, 03:31:02 AM
A post in the Occupy thread made me realize something.

There are a fair amount of talented crafters on this board.  The only one I know how to buy things from is Nigel but I remember that Suu and some others also craft.

I figured this thread could be a place to advertize your wares, so we'd have some idea of Christmas possibilities.

It also ties in with the idea of localizing Christmas, although there will still be money transfers and such (unless folks use bitcoins)

Personally I offer tarot card readings, $1 or .25 bitcoins per card by e-mail or per minute by phone or voice chat.  I don't expect anyone to give them as gifts,  just kicking the thread off.  I'm more interested in getting ideas of what other people have to offer.

Dude, I read all that stuff about being tolerant of child abuse and It would seem that I have reason to get my hate on as well...

Plus you're giving both magicwiddaK & Bitcoin more tarnish than they need. 

you should be cautious here... I don't understand forum etiquette very well yet, but I'm sure I could get into some practice on this trolling thing.  I'm REALLY good at digging up info, and burying trash.  :evil:

I try, in both senses Reverend.


So what of it Mystery Babbs?  How young is too young?  What modern sub-0cultures do you think it might be OK in?  Was this all overblown by the nasty, nasty folks here? Does baby Jesus mean anything to you I might get nasty for?  You like the Tarot... flip a card for yourself and tell me if it's swords.

I know it sounds like I'm biased, but you did sort of hang yourself...man.

Old news and not the point of the thread, kindly fuck off.

Roger, who has 10 times the reason you do to hate me, responded in the spirit of the thread.  It's often not a bad idea to look at the person who spews the most hate and hey, if he's not spewing any, it's probably not appropriate.

If you'd like to piss on me there's a plethora of threads to do so in, but taking me on wont get you credit as anything in particular, it's too easy.  Meanwhile this thread is here to help Discordian crafters like Nigel and Suu make some money and give the rest of us some ideas as to ways to spend our money on Christmas presents that we can be proud not only about giving but about buying as well.

I think TWJ is coming along nicely, and should flex his hate gland a bit more.

Don't ever speak for me or use me as an example, you fucking freak, especially after you shit on my thread today.  You fucking waste of DNA.

Apparently not old enough... :evil:

What makes you think it's about the "credit"?  I like playing on easy.  Plus you seem to have this thing for watching folks die according to Rev. Roger.  Is this true?  Does the thought of J-Dawg getting poked with a spear while just trying to hang out , uh , you know... do it for you?

I don't really know you well enough to want to piss on you personally, but if it's about making friends.. eh.. I'm not feeling it right now.
I also find the name Horuv, Babylon kind of annoying.  For just LOTS AND LOTS of possible reasons.  Why did you choose it?  Do you get paid?.. 'cuz not a lot of people do, you know.

Watching folks die, no.  I'm not a voyeur.  I'm also not into necrophilia,  despite what you might gather from the nicknames corpsefucker and corpserapist.

I'm not going to go into what I am into because I've been asked by people I respect far more than you not to do so ever again on these forums.

As far as my name Horuv's meant to look like it could be an Eastern European last name.  It ties in with some personal mythology that I have with the country of Kazakhstan.  None of that background is particularly important or interesting to anyone but me.  Babylon is my name, the creativity there is my parents.  I just made myself a whore.

Questions?  You have questions for me?   :lulz:

Answers are like pissing, satisfying.. but if you're doing it for someone other than yourself you really should be getting something out of it.

That one as free... you know, just a taste.

The on thin saving this thread for the momment is that I need to do things in the morning, not your silly diversion magicks.  Maybe i'll be over it by the time I come back.  If you make a duplicate thread I promise not to fuck with it.. I keep my promises .. mostly.  Ask Roger.

Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on November 17, 2011, 07:27:27 AM
Gonna point out that I at one time had a thread for pimping my shit, but at some point it dawned on me (yeah, I'm slow) that it was very searchable in a way that I was not at all comfortable with. I am not shy about telling you guys who I am, but I am a bit more shy about making it super-easy for interested parties to track me to my Nigel identity... not that it's a secret from those who know me, at all, just that I from time to time have had some stalker problems and I really value being able to speak candidly here.

So I pulled all my links from the other threads, and only openly post links to my identity in Open Bar. Just to keep it a little harder to find me here from Google. So while I appreciate the intent of this thread, I am operating under the "internet is forever" assumption, and am not going to post links to my webstores in an indexable thread that is not slated for regular deletion on a forum that comes up very prominently in Google.

an awesome card game! Instead of sitting at a table and playing cards at each other, the cards you play push your opponent into other rooms in the house. It's a "get up and move around" alternative to card games. The object is to throw your opponent out of the house and shout NOT UNDER MY ROOF!!

I wasn't looking for it in your thread,  I meant the suggestion to be slightly smartass but also serious.  I apologize if it hurt Freeky's feelings.


Bullshit, fatass.  You meant it to do exactly what it did.

You passive-aggressive sack of shit.

Make you laugh and shit all over me?

In that case I'm proud.  if it somehow managed to make Joseph shit on me too I'm mostly confused.

No, it made Freeky very upset...She goes to school, raises her kid, gets about 2 nights off a week, in which she goes out of her way to meet people somewhere other than a pub.

But no, you had to fucking walk in and say "socialize", like the wretched little pompous fuckbag that you are.  Just get cancer or something2, okay?

I hadn't realized it would make her upset and I am sorry that it did.

Freeky is a good person who deserves good friends and, if she wants one, a good man. 

Well, let me fucking spell it out for you.

Some people can make snarky jokes to their friends, and get away with it.  You can't, because you have no fucking friends, at least not here.

And I don't for one second believe you're sorry at all.  As you said, it had the desired effect of pissing me off, and given that you view people as inanimate objects put there for your own sick amusement, I don't think you have the CAPABILITY of being sorry.

Just for the audience here.. never NEVER post a personal sigil tat and partial image of yourself on a forum where there may be dastardly types that understand and are ENTIRELY unafraid to fuck with the "laws" of sympathy and contagion.  Not if you think there's really something like Maaahjjj*jkdsjas@nh$1 in the world.. schmuck.

1Thanks to Alty for showing me the proper spelling shortly after I got here.

2THIS CAN BE FUCKING ARRANGED!!!  I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU MADE THAT PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN UPSET!!  I WAS JUST SNAPPING AT AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT ON A D-BAG PSEUDO-SORCERER THAT THINKS THERE IS OCCASIONALLY AN OK TIME FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO TOUCH KIDS!  THIS MAKES ELLEGUA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellegua) EXTREMELY FUCKING UPSET!!  IF I DON'T GET TO SLEEP YOU DON'T EITHER.   
:magick:

Of course none of this could possibly be a problem for you Babs if you simply clap you hands and admit that there is no magic, admit to yourself and others that you are an untalented charlatan, and go get therapy for that death-fixation of yours right?  I mean, how serious about this could I possibly be?


_______________________________________________

As for the rest of you.. I really look forward to checking out your stuff elsewhere.  The Chao Te Ching is one of those truly timeless pieces apparently! :mittens:

We're now writing the mythology he referenced...  that's kind of awesome.

I suspect I'm just being slow, but can you elaborate on this?

Just that current-day Discordians are producing literature, using new ideas, that happen to dovetail into older literature (in this case RAW's novels) so well that people who are now discovering it are assuming that it's material that previous writers were drawing from.

In retrospect, I'm now very glad I had such a heavy hand when editing out current pop culture references.  It pleases me to no end that the style and thoughts blend in well with the (somewhat) original texts.

QuoteA healthy body ebbs and flows with emotions.
Only the sick are inflexible.
Joy and hate must be experienced, and then let go.
If you do not shit your hate, you will die.
Who can live, retaining a colon full of hate?
If you hold on to joy for too long,
it will stagnate and fester.
Life craves the new,
regardless of its content.
Only the dead cease changing..

Found this on the tumblr link and am going to crosspost it to facebook.  I going to include the tumblr link and encourage people to "spread this timeless wisdom" or some such thing.


And now.. something that just popped up on facebook but moments ago!  Balance is all about exchanges.
