Am I the ONLY motherfucker here who has utterly unshakable self-confidence?

Srsly, it pains me to read this thread and think that sometimes you guys actually think this stuff.

We all have our good days and our bad days.  I only have unshakeable self confidence when I slept for at least 6.735 hours the previous two nights.  It's hard to be positive when you look and feel like a zombie!

I swear, I'm going to go to Salvation Army, spend $50, and resell everything for 5x the price I pay for it, calling it VINTAGE, that way, the hipsters get all ironic on me and shit. Fuck them. Fuck it all. I am now going to troll every "vintage" store until I find one that I can actually praise. Gah.

This is a good plan.  I suggest using your profits to buy all of the PBR in your town, in order to frustrate the few joys in the small lives of most hipsters.

Neurotic Sir Francis Drake = sexyawesome.  Just FYI.

You get up to shenanigans because you can't behave normally.  In reality, you just don't know how to play the social game.

You fucking youngsters!

GIT OFF MAH LAWN!

Sir, you were paying me to mow it, and I'm not done yet.  Have you forgotten again?

I'll do a 'worship of memes' one.  Basic precepts revolve around the idea that memes are the key part of human perception of the world, and by creating, spreading, and modifying them, you can bend the world to your wishes and gain true ultimate power and all of that.  Expect a full writeup in the next few days once my plate is clear;  for now this is a placeholder and a declaration of intent.

I think I know what he's talking about.

Is it this, Yatto?

I'D HIT IT

I wonder if she tastes funny.

I WOULD STILL HIT IT

I would too.

No way she stays that skinny eating hamburgers from McDonalds.  That being said, I'm jumping on the hit it train.

The main thing I love about Beck, magical underpance aside, is that he's so damned consistent. There's rarely a moment when his epic douchebaggery falters. That MLK thing was just so...EPIC. He owns that shit.

Or his magical way of avoiding libel lawsuits.  I mean, just look at the facts, I'm not going to make up your mind for you and I am not saying that you should believe that Obama is a Nazi, but just look at the facts.

I lived closer to the Welsh than you!  They do, in fact, have some nice castles if you just go for a day trip.  Don't recommend staying for longer.  I was on a small peninsula south of Liverpool, where it rains all the time.

Agreeing to the social contract of a nation and thinking it makes you super different from the people over the mountains are two very different things.  Blight does have a point, though.

That must mean you're British. Because  9 out of 10 Americans wouldn't know a Teapot from a hole in the ground.  (no offence, everybody else who isn't British    ) And chilling in the Tea Leaves is a British Tradition.  And if you found Eris in the bottom of the Teapot, I'm thinking maybe a Gong connection, (Also peculiar to the British)  Was she visiting the Pot head Pixies? Because you sound like a bit of a  Hippy to me, with your long hair, pierced ear, and outlandish, almost anarchist interests. 
So welcome to PD, Gray Jester.

I reside in America, and lived in Britain for part of my childhood.  I don't identify with nation states, as being associated with a group of people just because I happen to live near them is incredibly backward.

I prefer the beats to the hippies, as my young impression of the hippies* is that although they had a lot of fun, they took their message of change too seriously without doing enough about it.  I also detest the idea of going "back to nature":  yes, the great outdoors are nice, but an overidealization of "primitive man" is dumb.  Also, the "unnatural/natural" dichotomy is not only false, but a symptom of a fear of change.  Living sustainably, though, in the sense of not consuming as much, is just a good idea.  (Also, my hair is not -all- that long; that picture is only a few months old.)

*From what I've read/seen/heard from those who actually saw real live hippies.  I'm not old enough to remember them for real, and today's youth (my peers) use a 'hippie' identity as an excuse to light up (as if you need an excuse, amirite? y/y), which likely colors my perceptions of real hippies (tm).

Including my spelling of it!

Name:  Gray Jester
Studies computer science.  I'm a student at a university.
In my free time I plot more ways to disrupt my daily habits, and engage in all sorts of shenanigans.  I'm interested in almost anything interesting: philosophy, science, music, literature, economics, religion, among other things.
I found Eris in the bottom of my teapot one day, chilling in my tea leaves.  I thought it was a good idea to let her out, so I did.

I also look something like this (my hair is slightly longer now):

Hi, I'm Gray Jester.

I first realized I was a Discordian when I drank mouthwash because I couldn't afford alcohol, and fucked my dog.

Gray Jester -- For being in before you could call me out.

does my belief that this set of coincidental coincidences is unlikely enough to be worth noticing mean that I am crazy?

Nope. It means you're paying attention. If you took this info and concluded that it was the Bavarian Illuminati trying to keep tabs on you... then it would mean you were crazy.

Ha! Well, that would be an unreasonable conclusion. I mean... the forces running the planet are far more sophisticated and competent than that, right?

We are.  Our agents have taken care of the... hiccup, and you can continue about your normal life as though nothing happened.

That's pretty awesome! I imagine that you could do a nice job with CDs, as well.

Holy eyestrain, batman!

Do it at the end of a long, straight, flat road for the most points.
