PD may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.  If PD splits open, do not look directly at resulting goo.  PD is still legal in 14 states.

Bring and Brag / Homemade Bowel Disruptor Gun Theory
January 12, 2009, 10:11:55 AM
3D3N was chatting to me recently about the Grant Morrison comic Transmetropolitan. She informed me of an amusing weapon that the lead character Spider Jeruslam had, the Bowel Disruptor Gun.
I chuckled to myself a little (quite childish really, but making people poop themselves is funny), and then had a bad idea.
Surely, you could construct one of these quite easily A-Team-style with just an mp3 player, a high quality mp3 of the brown note and a directional microphone. The idea being that if the directional microphone only picks up sound from one direction, then if you use it for output instead of input, you can direct the sound (away from yourself, unless you're a fecal-loving-oddball) at some unsuspecting spag for shits and giggles. Literally.

Is this feesable to anyone else?

None of you will probably need reminding of this, but here it is for quick reference anyways.

THE PARABLE OF THE BITTER TEA

by Rev. Dr. Hypocrates Magoun, P.P.
POEE PRIEST, Okinawa Cabal

When Hypoc was through meditating with St. Gulik, he went there into the kitchen where he busied himself with preparing the feast and in his endeavor, he found that there was some old tea in a pan left standing from the night before, when he had in his weakness forgot about its making and had let it sit steeping for 24 hours. It was dark and murky and it was Hypoc's intention to use this old tea by diluting it with water. And again in his weakness, chose without further consideration and plunged into the physical labor of the preparations. It was then when deeply immersed in the pleasure of that trip, he had a sudden loud clear voice in his head saying "it is bitter tea that involves you so." Hypoc heard the voice, but the struggle inside intensified, and the pattern, previously established with the physical laboring and the muscle messages coordinated and unified or perhaps coded, continued to exert their influence and Hypoc succummed to the pressure and he denied the voice.

And again he plunged into the physical orgy and completed the task, and Lo as the voice had predicted, the tea was bitter.



To me this speaks on a few levels.
In one way it illustrates the pathetic humanity of even the enlightened. This is demonstrated by the laziness of Hypoc, in the first instance by not making a new pot of tea shortly after his "meditating with St. Gulik". So involving himself in everything else he decides to take an easy route with one aspect of the feast, even when confronted by his conscience on the matter he ignores it for his own few moments of enjoyment in his other activities. This appears to me to be a "Thinker and Prover" scenario, wherein the Thinker thinks "The tea will be fine and so i can concentrate on everthing else" we see Hypoc's Prover wrestling with his conscience/divinely-inerventive-statement/common sense in order to allow him to continue believing the contrary, another damnable human trait (or blessed by Eris depending on your perspective).

In another way, it can bee seen as a metaphor for the human ability to ignore the bigger picture and to involve themselves in one aspect so wholeheartdley as to blind themselves to it completley. Now this is slightly different from RAW's Thinker and Prover model as it would suggest that Hypoc was more conscious of the contradicion, and so "it is bitter tea that involves you so." becomes a metaphor meaning "If you dont look at the the whole problem, then you won't solve it". Thus the feast is ruined by the tea being foul.

It could also be construed, if we imagine that Hypoc is operating on Leary's Fifth Circuit following his "meditating" eneabling him to perceive x-dimensionally, that this is an expression of the Curse of Cassandra. He can see forward and know that the tea will be bitter, but is constrained by causality itself and is unable to change the outcome, the rest being his mind allowing him to deal with the concept.

Finally (so far at least), I take one more meaning from this passage.
Don't try and entertain folk after a DMT binge.

Discordian Recipes / Suspect Brownies
January 02, 2009, 10:59:34 AM
Make thick stodgy brownie mix, either packet or from a recipe.

Add sweetcorn.

bake into finger shapes about 5 inches long, as thick or as thin as you feel appropriate.

tub-em up and visit every public convenience in your locality, depositing them in urinals and on the floors. Heck, leave some on flatmates beds and such.

Be smug.

Or Kill Me / We should all treat others inhumanely
December 19, 2008, 04:22:35 AM
I hate the word "Humane".
It is in dire need of a redefinition. When we see the atrocities that humans are capable of, surely treating someone or something "Humanely" is a terrible thing to do.

Just a thought.

Or Kill Me / Belief and conviction - a n00b question
December 18, 2008, 02:01:13 AM
If it is taken that we all have our own paradigms, as we all perceive reality differently, what is true to myself may not necessarily be true to the next person and vice-versa. With this in mind, if "Person A" believes in something and "Person B" believes in something else which contradicts the former's belief, is the former right in affirming their belief to the latter as an absolute? Is prefixing a statement with "In my opinion" every time political correctness to excess? Do we have the right to express our beliefs, however factual and convincing they seem to us, as facts at all?

This is bugging me. Can I take some opinions please.

Literate Chaotic / Presence
May 22, 2008, 12:56:09 PM
Chasing some of last nights stoned musings round the interweb, I stumbled upon this exercept from a seminar which I found to be a rather fun read. Just thought I'd share the wealth.

It's by a chap called John Waterworth, and its called; "The Three Layers of Presence: Making Sense of the Sense of Presence, in the World and in Media"

Principia Discussion / Spag?
May 21, 2008, 02:46:19 PM
erm, i'm a little confused by the fragrant use of this racist term on this site, it obviously means something else here but i have been called this by skinheads and their ilk before, although it doesnt carry that kind of hate on PD.

In short, can i get a PD.com definition of Spag please.


danke
