At the moment I appear to be some sort of fucked-up Ten Ton Mantis hybrid.
You mean, you're not?  Sadness.   :kingmeh:

^No.

^^What I'm talking about is a state in which--for example--pure sound is experienced, and the realization that it is one's own breathing comes as a shock.  This is not a helpful state for combat.

It's not very hard once you figure out that I'm not who I appear to be, which is obvious to people who are on the board regularly but not to drop-in visitors.
Who do you appear to be?

I take it Anton LaGay is the same person as Diseris in that thread?

What, because we both have Bruce Campbell as our avatar?  Bow before the might of the Bruce.

So I was just wondering what you considered your inch.
Actually, it's more like eight inches. :banana:

My knee-jerk was to be insincere and juvenile, saying something like "booze" in response to your question.
There's hope for you yet.

ternechto, not totally clear on what you mean, so I'm gonna guess.


I am uncertain anything is that immutable, and certain that in the end it will all be gone.

I'm okay with ultimately leaving nothing behind, as long as I live my life with an aesthetic.  Temporary does not mean pointless; if only permanent things could be meaningful, life itself would be meaningless.

btw, that line "You do not exist" is one of my most effective mindfucks.  Use it only for good (and lulz).

Ah, thanks, I'll have to check out that translator. I had to read some sections of it a long while back in Spanish, loved it, and then made the mistake of picking it up in English by some translator who had the intellectual equivalent of Tourette's, peppering the manuscript with context-less phrases.
Haha, how'd you end up reading it in Spanish?

QuoteThe monk dude from J2tW also appears in some television show called "Read or Die," btw.
Never seen it, but that's a great name for a TV show.


Oh, I'm also reading (read: started half a year ago and haven't lately picked up) Haruki Murakami's Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

I see your point

but am not talking about a spatial point

Not speaking Chinese, I cannot attest to the quality of my copy's translation.

However, I can tell you I get a good sense of what's going on, and that the translator is one W.J.F. Jenner.

I can also tell you that Journey to the West inspired the original Dragonball cartoon.   :lulz:

I took an anthro class in college called "Death and Afterlife in Biblical Times" taught by someone who the entire class was convinced was either

  • An Actual Vampire
  • The Manifestation of Erishkigal
...

Betcha she's a great lay, if you don't mind teeth marks/being on the bottom.

Also: anthro rules


Quote from: Enki-Innana (aka Ishtar, for the babylonianly inclined) however seems to be a prototype for the discordian interpretation of Eris -- not evil, but also not "good"; instead, simply holds her own, and is pretty unpredictable. Her domain is that which is inherently impossible or inherently impossible to describe or classify, and making women's clothing. Go figure.
Are you saying Discordian Eris was likely inspired by Inanna, or just that they are similar?

Many trickster characters would fit the bill, though they tend to be androgynous.

In any case, trickster tales make for great entertainment and are well worth looking into for anyone interested in Discordia.

Think for Yourself, Schmuck! / Re: Foucault and the BIP
December 17, 2008, 04:34:17 AM
Great posts, Cain.

The main idea that struck me is freedom as an act--and specifically a temporary one.

It's a lot like the notion that mystical experience is a process (decentering, recentering, and grounding) in which one steps outside the boundaries and assumptions of one's society in order to taste something ineffable and then comes back with a new perspective, which one anchors into the fabric of one's culture even as one's understanding is transformed.
