Eris is an Anthropologist. Or, at least she likes playing with Anthropologists. That, or the Anthrpologists have been taking some of the hallucinogens that they like to study and pass off "as another drug people use to make themselves religious, so something."
Eris came to me today while I was reading an article. She stuck a feather in my ear and tickled it until I looked up to see her concentrating furiously on just barely gracing my skin with the feather. Then she laughed at me, cocked her head at the screen and pointed at it saying "Bulltshit!" in a happy laughing way.
I went to another article, and again, this was repeated. So, I looked up Eris, and stared into the dark vortexs that people think are her eyes (they're really not eyes, she is after all only a reflection of the person looking at her), and ask quite simply, "If it's all bullshit, then why the hell am I reading it?"
She looked at me, let out a little laugh, and said, "Do you know where the bullshit isn't?"
Then she poofed. Bitch.

That is the tricky part, where isn't it :shock:

We need more fluffy bunny Discordianism. Laughing children, dancing in the wildflowers, etc, etc.
Because that's what Eris is all about, after all...rather than - for example - beign a psychotic crone that revels in mass human bloodshed.
Eris is only smiling and giggling because she's got something up her sleeve to slap me/us with. Make no mistake, I am quite well aware that she does things for her own reasons, not because she wants me to be happy, successful, or anything else.
All we know is the outer manifestation. Anyone who claims to know the inner workings is wrong.

How about a fluffy psychotic crone bunny that dances in the bloody wildflowers? :?
Or a pink bunny masturbating in a meadow ejaculating rainbows and flower petals?

10 points for irony.

Oh, I LIKE that.
All anthropology is bullshit.
Badger,
Anthro Major,
Who should go stand in a corner and self flagellate while wearing a hair shirt, but is already doing the intellectual equivalent of such.
How is anthropology bullshit?
And what year are you?
I know I should let badger answer this herself, but I'm impatient, so I'll say:
Anthropolgy is based mostly on guesswork, conjecture and the current bias of the zeitgiest. Therefore, nothing will ever be solved, or answered, or properly defended.
But that's just me.

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Then again, I may be wrong.

That psychotic crone is actually an aspect of the Wiccan Goddess, unless it is Hekate, unless it is Athena in menopause, unless it is....well take your pick. I tend to think that while Eris may be into the all sweet and nice tickles for those upon whom that approach may work, She is also the deity who provoked Yahweh to be so evil in the Old Testament. It is good to keep this perspective. (The same sweet wind that cools you on a hot day, is the wind that can blow a massive storm which destroys your entire livelihood.)
Also: Eris only slaps those who don't......

1. What Mr. Alphabets said.
2. Junior. I'm 22, if you were wondering.
What about the anthropology of bullshit?
That would be bullshit squared, then.
Quote from: Rabid Badger of GodThat would be bullshit squared, then.
What about the philosophical tangential theories of anthropological bullshit as it equates to scatalogical references throughout cultural histories?
Now that would be a giant cube o bullshit there.

I can keep piling it on higher. I went to college and was trained in the art of massive bullshit piling (otherwise known as education).

BAM! In comes Greek geek knowledge. Enyo/Eris was considered one of the Graiai, or the the three Gray Sisters, who were apparently beautiful. They were described as "fair-faced and swan-like" but they's had gray hair from the day they were born and they shared one eye and one tooth, but they lost even that when Perseus stole their eye and later threw it in a lake.
Also ""[Depicted on the chest of Cypselus at Olympia] Aias is fighting a duel with Hektor [in the Trojan War], according to the challenge, and between the pair stands Eris in the form of a most repulsive woman. Another figure of Eris is in the sanctuary of Ephesian Artemis; Kalliphon of Samos included it in his picture of the battle at the ships of the Greeks." -Pausanias, Guide to Greece
5.19.1
However, I tend to think she was probably in good shape as she was hauling dead bodies around the battlefield of Troy and she was said (in Dionysiaca) to look like Rheia, the loverattle goddess.

Rather like the above, only probably with a nose and alot of armour, covered in blood.
Cybele?
Didn't her male adherents castrate themselves to show their devotion?
Yup. But her Greek incarnation was Rheia, Zeus' mommy.
But even though there was Rheia, Cybele [Kubele] was still worshipped as a distinct person with a separate cult.
I know this because they have been revived among some of the radical lesbians around where I live.
As for Eris and the Graia, that is just one account. She appears to have fooled a lot of people.
So you're saying Eris looked more like this :shock:

Not really, just something a little less butch.

Fixed.
I don't think Eris looks like anyone.
How could we ever know if she did resemble anyone when we don't know the history of psychiatry.
