What's sink? I know it's mentioned in the PD, but I don't know it other than that.
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/73.php
sinking anything in the lake ... its kinda fun actually
BOOO SINK
WATS WRONG WITH SINK?
I don't know why, but upon reading "I sank it!" I laughed. Hard.
I'd play sink if I didn't live near a salt lake. Makes things a tad more difficult.
Note: "I sunk the 100g of Sodium... OHSHIT" is not the proper way to play. It tends to come flying back at you. (http://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/Stories/011.2/index.html) Rig something up to drop it straight down, it WILL fly up nicely. In fact, just skip the whole thing with large amounts if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Still, SINK is fun, SINK with alkali-earths is more fun.
I've tried it before. It's not as fun as they make it sound. Maybe if we had like thirty people high on caffeine trying to sink a mime in a dinghy, it would be fucking cool.

We (sort-of) did that at the last Vegas Rennisance Faire. The Wilds (http://www.roamingphotos.com/us/ca/escondido/faire/IMG_9728.jpg) had a boat, we had a water balloon launcher. They didn't have a bucket, and nearly sank in the lake. They curse more than mimes, but they do wear black & white paint.

If by difficult you mean stinky, yeah.
Sink with paper boats is fun, and then they decompose.
I might be a child at heart, but basically I like throwing rocks at things.

This. I fully intend to go down to the river this summer and play Sink this way.

I think we should do this before I leave for the summer. We might have to replace the mime with a hipster, but they're almost the same thing.
Sink isn't supposed to be a primary sport or hobby. It's jsut what you DO when you're by a body of still - ish water with nothing better to do.
I realized the existence of greyface in 8th grade while palying Sink. On a boring ass field trip to the blackstone canal (who the fuck goes on a feild trip to see a canal?) we were told we could not play sink with old beer bottles. Some shit about littering.
Our fun having been firmly stopped, I did what any good coast-dweller would do, and showed my buddies how to skip rocks. That got shut down too. Some crap about "They jsut spent x million dollars dredging those rocks out of that canal...."
I use the "sink" meme when someone destroys something else, whether or not it was intentional.
An alternate version of "I accidentally the whole thing", I suppose.
"I SANK THE GLOBAL ECONOMY."

Correct Motorcycle Cram!
"Like what YOU like, enjoy what YOU enjoy..."
If you like/enjoy Sink/Jakes/Fnords/23's or anything else then play with it and tell the Discordian spags that claim its pineal to STFU.
If you Sink/Jake/Fnord/See 23's because the PD told you to... then YOU STFU!!!

Point. But I don't like sink, and it IS pinealism, at least to me. However, if other people do enjoy sink, then why is my opinion even relevant? Unless you're playing by ECH rules, of course, in which case I'm 169% behind it.
I prefer to play "let's fuck with <insert organization>'s protest/demonstration/bake sale".

Sometimes protests/demonstrations and bake sales aren't around... but a body of water is.
So why do you see Sink as Pinealism?

oh no its a tie between no and I'm a faggot!
I have always thought of sink as a fun thing to do, its an activity.
So the OP topic is analogous to "Is playing Scrabble too pineal?"
Its not. Not unless you're being excessively pineal in addition to playing sink.

You might try reading it, and also Zen without Zen Masters.
Also, that "utter shite" often starts to make sense after letting it settle a while and re-reading it. My first impression of the PD was that it was pretty stupid. Took me a few years to realize that it wasn't the PD that was stupid, it was me who was ignorant. I'm still "getting" bits of it here and there almost 16 years later.

The bible is the work of a whole bunch of primitive nomads from out in the desert trying to make sense of a nonsensical world. It has so many rules only a truly crazy pedant would be able to follow them all, but the standard "pick-and-choose the bits you like" method seems to be largely accepted. This means that everyone can accuse their neighbours of not following the rules, and thereby gain satisfaction with their own choices. It's so generic it has something for everybody, so specific no one can follow it, and so filled with contradictions and atrocities that no one should bother.
That actually was pretty good.

I don't take it to that extreme, but I have been known to loan out my copy.
And then never get it back.
SJ version is great for giving away... where as my new yellowone ive been photocopying the shit out of
I always get bored when trying to read the PD, never read more than the first ten pages or so.
it makes good reading for when your on the porcelain throne
like to put photocopies up in stalls, as its a pretty captive audience
this way you can keep it to a page or two a day
I don't have a paper copy, which is definitely part of my problem.
Oh, I'd recommend getting one
even if it's just the evangelical edition. Syn's paperback is the best, of course.
I can't stand reading it online. It's just... missing something.

It's definitely the best, except I don't think it's being printed right now. His edition is available in paperback though.

The horrible part is that we're the high-brow crowd. :lulz:
I played sink before I had ever heard of Discordianism. It's a fun game and as long as you aren't dogmatic about it there's nothing wrong with playing it. For that matter, a little pinealism now and then does us good in my opinion.
