Everyone else has more than dealt with the hackey sack stuff (although, seriously, hackey sack?), but I'm more interested in the guy who wanted a one-sentence summary of Discordianism.    Who does that?  What good is that?  Requests for a simple summation of a complex phenomenon really shouldn't be entertained.

You see him again, tell him, "If you're not willing to take the time, you're not worth the time."  Then use his nuts for your hackey sack.

I've done that before, we call it the 'sack2sack'.

Uh.  I clicked the link.  What.  The.  Fuck.

I don't think it's possible to rule over THEM.

@Dok:

I see.  So it WAS the mind control lasers.

Bastard.

@Alty:

Yeah, thank you for the sincere attempt.  But I have such a hard time stopping myself.  I'm not exactly sure why.  I think it's partly the amusement, as you guys post some funny shit.  I think it's partly the troll instinct, as it brings out you guys posting funny shit.  But, in the end, I think it's mostly that little attention whore within me, that has himself a micro-orgasm every time the guns are pointed my way.

@Tripzip

Fuck the Bilderburg people, you have offended me, and I am Special.  I am sending CARROT TOP after you.  That mutha fucka is SCARY AS SHIT!

More like, as mentioned earlier, "oh no, the joke didn't come out how I intended it, perhaps if I attempt to explain and apologize I might smooth things over".

But I get it now, I'm being trolled.  How DARE I mention hackey sack!  It is associated with hippies and suburban kids!  That means everyone who plays it is a hippy suburban spoiled kid!

I admire that this hasn't gotten old for you yet.  Srsly!

Are you just really bored or something?

BUY TRIX'S NEW BOOK:

"HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE, PART II".



I gotta ask, Trix...Do you even know WHY this shit happens?

Honestly, not really.  I suspect I'm being trolled.  But your post makes me question that.  I suspect mentioning hackey sack was a mistake that caused some kind of knee-jerk reaction.  But the reaction would be over by now.

So, in the end, am I just walking around with a kick-me on my back or something?

At the risk of repeating a page 1 mistake, please Dok, enlighten me.

Are you just really bored or something?

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE!?

I'm reporting you to the FBI.  As a hacker, terrorist, and, just to make sure they bring out the big guns, MUSIC PIRATE!!!

tl;dr. Short version: "boring brats who think they're special".

Oh look, jumping to conclusions based on a tiny bit of second-hand information.

[This is likely the same impulse that pushes me to tune in to the "news" stations now and again.]

That is true, I did ask for it.

You'd think, with the incredible amount of lurking I've done and Dok rants I've read, that I'd know better than to ask Dok for it, but I guess I have a bit of a masochist impulse.

This is likely the same impulse that pushes me to tune in to the "news" stations now and again.  Or to read posts made by GIGGLES.

You're hardcore man!

Nah, I still get depressed when I do so.

Hardcore would be tuning into the news, and laughing deep from the belly at the results.  I'm trying to learn to appreciate the horrible joke, but I have such a long way to go.

I was aiming for the greyface, but seem to have missed and hit the Dok in the nutsack.  I'm dreadfully sorry, Dok.  I'm working to improve my aim, I promise!

Hey, I *ASKED* if you wanted to hear more.  You said that in fact you did, even if it was at your expense.

Now you're implying that I'm butthurt?   

You college kids...you get all the best drugs.

That is true, I did ask for it.

Speaking of rather funny, it's interesting how an anecdotal mention of hackey sack has changed the direction of the entire thread.

I think it might've been where you supposed that a stupid game of hackey sack was rankling, and I quote, "The Establishment". 

I mean, you DO see where that might come off as a bit hokey, right?  You really think "The Establishment" of whatever school you are going to really gives a fuck about your pick-up game of hackey sack?  If they are like any other college in America right now, they are shitting bricks over the sea of red in the ledgers.  Your game of hackey sack doesn't really mean anything to anyone except you.  And it certainly is not going to challenge any kind of "Establishment", anywhere. 

Yeah.  You are of course correct.  Only an idiot would believe that a game of hackey sack accomplishes anything more then wasting some time.  Unfortunately, I realized too late that I should have added some sort of wink or gif to the comment to emphasize the tongue-in-cheek way it was intended.  My mistake, as now I seem to have poked the beehive.

Beehive?  No, Dok, LMNO, and I are just helping you out a little with your education.  Think of us as free-lance tutors.  The bill will be in the mail. 

Oh you folks are helping me out a lot with my education.  Just, not really in this thread.  This was a typical example of bad communication.  And I apologize.

nah, by "walkway" i mean the smoking bridge, which is more than large enough for plenty of people to get by.  The point is the administration of the school already doesn't like that students found a spot to smoke on campus, and that the spot has become the social center of the campus, and that the sack kickers are the most popular group.

My rant gland just cramped the fuck up.  Seriously.  My neck is now at an odd angle, and my right leg is convulsing.

Would you like to know more?

YES PLEASE!

Dok, your rants, even* the ones targeted at me, are the nectar that keeps my blood pumping.

* - By even, I of course mean especially

Okay, first you say "Bonus points for kicking people on the busiest walkway on campus between classes", then you say "We're REVOLUTIONARIES fighting for THE PEOPLE" by being THE MOST POPULAR GROUP.

The first part was just a joke, and hasn't actually happened.

The second part, despite that you put quotes on it, I did NOT say.  I made a tongue-in-cheek reference to sticking it to the man, sure, but I didn't really mean it how you guys seem to be taking it.  I didn't think I'd have to defend a random comment, but I'm bored so okay sure.  We play hackey sack because we like to play hackey sack.  That's really it.  We crack jokes, have fun, kick a bean bag around.  I don't really see us as accomplishing any sort of larger goal when we play hackey sack for 20 minutes a day, and I'm a little surprised that you satire experts
would take that that way.  By "administration" I actually meant the one campus security guard that gives us shit sometimes, as the rest don't care.  This is a guy who takes his job way too seriously, and thinks we are the evil and he is a superhero, so we like to fuck with him and be the villains he so badly wants someone to be.  But mostly we just dick around and play hackey sack for 20 minutes at lunch.  No more, no less.   Not really enough of an event to warrant so much discord, but being PD I guess it's inevitable.

Not sure how that works.

What I AM sure of is that at least SOME of those people are on their way to their classes, where they hope to get, you know, an education, and here you are, trying to kick them, because wasting your time at school playing hackey sack during the school day is going to BRING THE SYSTEM DOWN!

Way to STICK IT TO THE MAN, Trix!  I'm sure the proctors and department heads sit around the board room table, shouting at each other to find a way to stop your JUGGERNAUT OF RADICALISM before you TOPPLE THE ENTRENCHED POWER STRUCTURE.  

Besides the part above where I explained that we don't actually try to kick people, which I now regret the joke which clearly rubbed you the wrong way, I'd also like to reiterate that we usually only play for 20 minutes during lunch, and when people actually walk through to get to class, so do we.  Because, well, we are students too.  Add to that the fact that I already mentioned the bridge where we play is more than big enough for us to play AND students to walk by comfortably.  Unlike the social groups in the indoor hallways that will stop dead center to talk about their facebook status or whatever and actually DO interrupt the flow of traffic through congested hallways.

For a place with so much satire and humor, you folks sure do take a lot of what I say very seriously.

Beats going to comparitive lit or macro-economics or whatever classes you're taking, I suppose.

And when you finally flunk out, or score an average too low to warrant gainful employment, you can hang out in hipster glasses with people who gradually become younger and younger with respect to yourself, as some sort of self-appointed guru, until you finally wake up screaming in horror and kill yourself by trying to swallow your hackey sack.

You know those pathetic 40-somethings, still hiring out to tutor freshmen at Denny's?  Take a good, long look...And despair.

I could respond here defensively by pointing out my actual grades, my difficult major, or my interesting hobbies, but really, you seem to have a picture that you really want to paint of me, based on a few random comments about hackey sack, and who am I to get in the way of your fun?

In b4 anti-trix mob mentality takes hold and paints me as a deluded retarded attention whore drug addict hippy with assburgers.

Oh look, rude brats who think they're special!

I said we were special?

Oh look, jumping to conclusions based on a tiny bit of second-hand information.

Also, it pisses off The Establishment because we tend to play right in the middle of the busiest walkway during class changes.

In this case, by "the establishment", you mean "your fellow students".

WAY TO FIGHT THE POWER!

The other students don't seem to mind our presence, most of them who don't join end up watching and/or listening to us for entertainment as they relieve their nicotine cravings.  We spend the game cracking jokes and making fun of each other, which can be rather funny.

EDIT: Also, at the risk of sounding a bit defensive, we don't really play very often.  A circle of random people seems to form around lunchtime, and disperse around the beginning of 1:00 classes.

For the record: Colbert used 23 skidoo again, in the episode from September 21, 2011. In this bit: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/397645/september-21-2011/coming-soon---hour-long-radiohead-special

He obviously wants this GASM to continue!
