I blame Mangrove.

Everybody blames Mangrove - he's swamped with accusations

Which is better than being swamped with amputations.

Though he is 'armless really . .

He was just trying to get a leg up...

I saw that discordians are prohibited from eating hotdog buns. 

Yes, but we also require sin, so do whatchalike.

I saw that discordians are prohibited from eating hotdog buns.  All religions prohibit you from eating something, don't they. . . Anyway, how do I eat my hot dogs now.  Just slather a 'raw unbunned dog' with kraut, mustard, and ketchup (yes mustard *and* ketchup) and get it all over my hands?  Or could I use a piece of bread.  Does that piece of bread now constitute a 'hot dog bun' or is it still bread?  Can I use bread of hot dog bun consistency, but not in the shape of a hot dog bun?  What if I put the hot dog in a tortilla, or embed it in a maple bar donut? (I call it a maple dog)

Principia scholars suggest that the ban from hot dog buns arises not out of scorn for dietary restrictions of other religions but true distaste for the state of hot dog consumption in society on the part of Mal2.  An ongoing debate surrounds that line, one of the many contradictory and vague Discordian tenets.  It is theorized that one side notes a lack of creativity in the time the work was written when it comes to hot dogs as a food, their dressing limited to classic mustard, relish, and ketchup.  The hot dog bun is generally an enriched white flour good that adds little flavor or creative capability to the act of eating a hot dog.  Mal2 was far ahead of his time in noting that a sturdier bun, such as that used to contain sub sandwiches, or even grinders or hoagies, allowed for greater addition of toppings for the classic hot dog.

Some go so far as to believe Mal2 was actually an adherent to the revolutionary hot dog movement of his time, a rather unknown collective made up of hot dog enthusiasts ranging from the most well known chefs to street corner vendors looking for the next step.  Julia Child was also believed to be a part of this.  If that's the case, it's actually amazing the impact that he had on the world of hot dogs.  While the classic hot dog is still our cultural archetype for the food, many a specialty store are serving them on sturdier buns with toppings unfathomable in his day.  I've even read of places which split the dog in half and then grill the inside, which is mind boggling even for my modern standards of hot dogs.

Still, a fervent debate rages over whether or not Mal2 was indeed making a commentary on the state of food in the nation, a timely remark well before such thinking became prevalent and necessary for our continued survival.  Historically flour was eaten by peasants and common people in its whole grain form, healthier but less decadent than the white flour we see so often today.  White flour was expensive and only affordable by nobility and royalty.  With the advent of new techniques white flour became the standard in bread making, thus robbing many a people of the nutrition found in its whole wheat counterpart.  "Enriching" white flour with vitamins to make it healthier has done little to mimic the benefits of naturally occurring wheat flour nutrients.  Mal2, being the prescient mind he was, saw this as the conspiracy of depriving the masses of much vitamins for healthy minds on the part of those in power seeking to more easily manipulate them.  Rather than complicate his statement with the proclamation to not eat any white flour based products or to consume only whole wheat, he decided in his wisdom to disavow only a part, to offer only a hint of what more lie beneath the surface - much like the Principia Discordia itself.

Yet others think it's total bullshit.

I. Required sin--excellent!  so i can be slothfull, gluttonous, envious, drunk, high, fornicating (hopefully), stealing copper wire from buildings, and lie to everyone, and not feel guilty!  I was gonna do all those things anyway, but now I'm guilt free! yay!

II. so the hot dog bun thing may have been to force us to become better people and think of alternatives to crappy white bread lame hot dog buns . . .the maple dog is ok then. What a relief.

III. and, I have to love a place where people have a discussion about the significance of hot dog buns.  Hell yeah!

IV. I'm numbering my document.

V. And I don't believe anything I just wrote when I go back and read it.

Excellent.

However, PROTIP:  The more often you ingest serious drugs, the less you will get laid by anything other than toothless meth whores.  These will look good to you.  Then one day, you'll straighten out - even if only long enough to get to your dealer - and you'll realize just exactly what you've been putting your johnson in, and you will throw yourself into the river out of sheer disgust.

Of course, there's probably a downside.

Oh, fuck.  A pinealist.

I'm going to pretend you aren't here.  This will make me happy.  It's also probably going to leave you in a happier state than if I continue to speak to you, or even acknowledge your existence in any way.

Because, you know, references to the pentabarf (and the rest of the PD) haven't been done to fucking death here.

GET ORIGINAL OR GTFO.

That is all.  You may now return to mindlessly regurgitating the Principia and other selected works.

A)  Those aren't sins... they're just monkey rules.

II) No the Omnipotent Grinner was lying.

3) Welcome.

Four - You are not using the Discordian Numbering System though... they'll make you fill out all the forms again if you don't get it right.

23) Excellent, you have learned to bullshit yourself, the first step on the path of cow patties that is "Discordianism".

Roger, this thread started with the catma of no hot dog buns, and only now you're noticing it's a pinealist thread?

I thought it was just some dude being confused about catma.  I didn't realize until he ripped off the pentabarf that he was deliberately trying to be a pinealist.

I'm not on my game today.
