So Discordia pissed you off. Maybe it was the whole thing, or maybe it was just one or two people. So you walk off. I mean, you're still around now and again, but fuck if you're gonna participate. Or maybe you just can't be arsed. It's hard work, thinking and then typing. Or maybe you feel you've outgrown the whole thing, or perhaps you feel that being a goofy bastard is somehow beneath your dignity.
Good thing we haven't let The Machine™ get us, or anything. :lulz:
Good thing we haven't turned into the thing we hated most. Cabbages. Great big leafy cabbages. Either the "stare vapidly" kind, or the "OOOOH, I AM SO MAD" kind, or even the condescending "sooper Adult" kind. Seriously, why THINK when you can just Be Above It All?
Thing is, you CAN'T leave this religion. Not because we're some horrible cult that will pull your toenails off for trying (though we're not above that), but because Discordia just IS, and if you FORGET HOW TO LAUGH UNTIL YOUR GUTS BLEED, then the upcoming years are gonna be A LITTLE ROUGH ON YOU.
And when's the last time you laughed? A real laugh, I mean? I'll bet many of you can't remember.
But that's not YOUR fault. It was Roger or Nigel or whomever it was that CRAWLED UP YOUR ASS AND STOLE YOUR LAUGHER.
Bullshit. It WAS you that stopped laughing, because laughing is HARD and TAKES EFFORT and you'd really rather just be BUTTHURT or "grazing" the forums.
But I am of course not talking about YOU, here. I'm talking about all those OTHER people. YOU'LL start laughing again, just as soon as you get around to it.
Someday.
WELL, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU.
The "coming weird times" are HERE, they arrived 8 YEARS AGO, and you are NOT READY FOR THE FINALS. You have backslid, clammed up...You've forgotten what mama taught you: When the rock hits you, you HOLLER.
You do not make excuses. You do not tell The Good Reverend Roger WHY you can't GRIN anymore, that you don't have TIME, that you "need to digest it", or any of that other shit. I don't care. I am not your boss. YOU should care, though, unless you've decided that the thrilling life of America in the 21st Century is ALL YOU WANTED IT TO BE.
And if that's the case, then I really don't know what to say.
Or Kill Me.
Okay, I give up.
Enjoy your damnation, sinners.
So we recently got us a new dog. It didn't like the special "giant breed baby" feed much at all... so I looked around and decided to try to raw dog diet thing. It worked well, but this beast is now eating almost two pounds a day. Chicken backs and wings and duck backs and pig heart are cheap (pig gets deep frozen for 4 days first), but I was really looking out for cheaper solutions...
We get fresh milk delivered by a local farmer twice a week. She came around on Saturday and told me they were going to kill a calf on Sunday morning, and do I want to buy any meat. I said no, but if there's anything they'd throw away that I could have for Alex, the dog, I'd be grateful. She said okay, she'd bring that stuff around late Sunday morning, 'cause she usually just chucks that part out the back, but foxes come and get it, and actually that's not so good...
And that is how I ended up with a calf's skinned head in my garage yesterday. And with the challenge of portioning it out. The damn thing was looking at me... there were also four legbones with hooves attached, and a bucket of grisly stuff.
I'm putting this picture (http://blog.holist.hu/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/calf-head.jpg) here as a link on purpose.
But hey, I'm a meat-eater, the dog's a meat eater, there's no way I'm going to be hypocritical about this. Portioning it out using a saw and an axe was a sobering, heartening, enthusiastic experience. And there was also something atavistically right about it. All in all, about two hours of work got Alex 17 days worth of food. Not bad. And, to my mind, quite Discordian.
Thread is now about holist.
This is how it ends: An echoing silence, broken only by the pffft noise of holist shitting the bed.
At least you tried!
Going to facebook, I guess.

This will probably annoy the hell out of you: This is hilarious to me and i can't figure out why.

Naw. I gave up, finally. It was funny to me, too, because I've stopped giving a shit.

I was going to say something similar, perhaps about the beautiful irony.

Yeah, but were those views caused by 40 separate people, or by Holist desperately checking back in over and over again to see if anyone had replied to him yet?

It was 40 before he posted. Or 39, rather. I was here when he responded.
There's been people through all day.
Unfortunately, this was posted when my game kicked off, which has taken about two and half hours to run.
I stopped laughing because it was too hard, it's true. I've been gone a long while because many things were too hard to do. I'm back, but I'm not the same as I was. I am a changed person that needs to find some of that old vibe again.
I have nothing to say because a lot of the time I just have nothing to say and I don't blame anyone for that, well except myself, really. You see I bought someone elses dream - for £1100 a month. That shit is seductive and weird and immersive and I'm only just now realising just how much I've been sucked away from doing normal human things.
I'm rusty and I'm battered and I'm quiet.
But I won't be for too long, I promise you that.
You know, when a sermon has to be saved by holist, you're all washed up.
?
I'm going to assume that last post wasn't a response to me, unless it was in which case you'll tell me.
I gotta say, I actually thought holist's post was (probably unintentionally) in the spirit of the OP. I mean, ignore who wrote it and (probably) why and pretend it was written by, say, Paes or Pent, and it starts to work. Also I dug the shit out of it as a piece of writing but you know how those pieces go, everyone either assumes you're not talking about them or that you are so 98% of the feedback is likely to be either defensive or self-congratulatory. Perhaps passive acceptance is PD's way of being above that.
edit for clarity: the piece of writing I am digging the shit out of is the OP, not holist's response

Naw, it was about me. Check the post times. You and I posted more or less at the same moment.

Hard to say. I usually drone out halfway into the first sentence, because it's either "HOLIST HOLIST HOLIST" or "You suck. You suck all the balls. But I love you anyway".

It was intentional: I thought that the bizarre incident with the head, which was a total surprise when it turned up in its white plastic crate (it was even artfully hidden under bits and pieces so I only noticed after I'd cut up and bagged some of it), and then entering into the spirit of things and breaking that skull with an axe... was somehow quite a lot like Laughing.

I'm still cackling like a mad demon over Paes' vandalism of the Wikipedia page of some village in Norway just to call Holist a twat. An insufferable one, even. I didn't lose the Eris, I just forgot she was there for a minute.
Dude, Paes, seriously, you made my Tuesday.

I'd have to disagree with that right there. You gotta have the sinner to hold up as an example. even better if he stands up voluntarily.
