DarkenedCorridor (12:49:07 AM): hey
KpvKatz (12:49:22 AM): hello ^^
DarkenedCorridor (1:02:57 AM): SINK is played by Discordians and people of much ilk.
PURPOSE: To sink object or an object or a thing... in water or mud or anything you can sink something in.
RULES: Sinking is allowd in any manner. To date, ten pound chunks of mud were used to sink a tobacco can. It is preferable to have a pit of water or a hole to drop things in. But rivers - bays - gulfs - I dare say even oceans can be used.
TURNS are taken thusly: who somever gets the junk up and in the air first.
DUTY: It shall be the duty of all persons playing "SINK" to help find more objects to sink, once one object is sunk.
UPON SINKING: The sinked shall yell "I sank it!" or something equally as thoughtful.
NAMING OF OBJECTS is some times desirable. The object is named by the finder of such object and whoever sinks it can say for instance, "I sunk Columbus, Ohio!"
KpvKatz (1:04:45 AM): hahahahaha
KpvKatz (1:04:50 AM): meep! ^^
DarkenedCorridor (1:04:58 AM): lol
DarkenedCorridor (1:05:37 AM): [discordianism is] A Non-prophet Irreligious Disorganization
DarkenedCorridor (1:06:06 AM): Bullshit makes the flowers grow,
and that's beautiful.
KpvKatz (1:06:09 AM): haha...it's like irony...in nonreligious forms!
KpvKatz (1:06:14 AM): it does ^^

DarkenedCorridor (1:10:21 AM): Convictions cause convicts.
KpvKatz (1:10:32 AM): mm...it's true
DarkenedCorridor (1:10:56 AM): its also talking about like religious convictions
DarkenedCorridor (1:11:04 AM): like what you believe in
KpvKatz (1:11:36 AM): that sounds really cool O_O
KpvKatz (1:11:39 AM): how did you find this?
DarkenedCorridor (1:11:51 AM): its all in the principia discordia
DarkenedCorridor (1:12:13 AM): umm kinda by chance
DarkenedCorridor (1:12:24 AM): my friend said hey read this live journal
DarkenedCorridor (1:12:41 AM): and it was talking about how ppl thought this girl was like amish or somthing
DarkenedCorridor (1:12:55 AM): and she said she was discordian
DarkenedCorridor (1:13:05 AM): so i looked it up, read the book and here i am
KpvKatz (1:13:43 AM): that's cool ^^
DarkenedCorridor (1:13:48 AM): yeppers
KpvKatz (1:13:48 AM): very cool, in fact : )
DarkenedCorridor (1:14:06 AM): yeah its like crazy mad coincidences
KpvKatz (1:14:45 AM): it must be meant to be, then
KpvKatz (1:14:46 AM): haha
KpvKatz (1:14:52 AM): or just coincidence
DarkenedCorridor (1:15:12 AM): well it could be eris(the goddess) just fuckin with me
DarkenedCorridor (1:15:36 AM): if you want i am now able to explain discordianism
KpvKatz (1:16:19 AM): okies!
DarkenedCorridor (1:16:23 AM): alright
DarkenedCorridor (1:19:56 AM): well the basic idea is that the universe is chaos, and to not go crazy, people invent grids so that they can try and see patterns in the chaos, each grid is different and therefore people fundamentally see the universe differently. cultures are formed when peoples grids are similar, western philosophy trys to find the perfect grid, but discordians know that there is none, so we pick an arbitrary one: discordianism, and therefore it is made to be completely customizable
DarkenedCorridor (1:20:28 AM): everyone gets to be pope, and can declare saints
KpvKatz (1:20:59 AM): oo! that sounds really cool!
DarkenedCorridor (1:21:03 AM): yeppers
KpvKatz (1:21:17 AM): and it gives reason to discord
KpvKatz (1:21:18 AM): haha
DarkenedCorridor (1:21:27 AM): lol thats an example of the couple of philosophy sections
DarkenedCorridor (1:21:39 AM): mostly its just random funny quotes and pics
DarkenedCorridor (1:22:00 AM): and building up of the arbitrary religion
KpvKatz (1:22:05 AM): hahaha
DarkenedCorridor (1:22:07 AM): things like the rule of five
DarkenedCorridor (1:22:15 AM): everything comes in 5's
DarkenedCorridor (1:22:28 AM): or numbers somehow related to 5's
DarkenedCorridor (1:22:59 AM): (completely random but dosn't matter if you don't like it you can put it out of your version of discordianism)
KpvKatz (1:23:44 AM): hehe ^^
KpvKatz (1:23:48 AM): that is random :P
DarkenedCorridor (1:23:50 AM): yeah
DarkenedCorridor (1:24:08 AM): are you familiar with the greco-roman version of eris?
DarkenedCorridor (1:24:23 AM): you know the whole golden apple thing
KpvKatz (1:24:32 AM): I am
DarkenedCorridor (1:25:12 AM): they give her an all new mythology(saying the greeks got it wrong) and declare her as the goddess of discordianism
KpvKatz (1:25:28 AM): that makes sense ^^
KpvKatz (1:25:35 AM): because she's the goddess of dicord
DarkenedCorridor (1:25:37 AM): yeah
DarkenedCorridor (1:25:48 AM): its actually a pretty cool mythology too
DarkenedCorridor (1:26:06 AM): it explains life and death, and the creation of the universe
DarkenedCorridor (1:27:30 AM): but really the best part is that it is always kept in mind that religion is a hypothosis answer to our unanswerable questions, and therefore shouldn't be taken to seriously
KpvKatz (1:28:36 AM): ah! that's even better! they tell you not to take it too seriously. Which is one of the main problems of religion ^^
DarkenedCorridor (1:29:08 AM): excatly
DarkenedCorridor (1:29:37 AM): people shouldn't kill or die for a hypothesis
KpvKatz (1:30:12 AM): indeed o_o
DarkenedCorridor (1:30:23 AM): btw as pope Joe the horney i declare you a saint second class
KpvKatz (1:30:37 AM): cheep! *dances*
DarkenedCorridor (1:30:43 AM): hehe
DarkenedCorridor (1:30:57 AM): thats the highest class given to real people
DarkenedCorridor (1:31:18 AM): the others are reserved for fictional characters, after all only they can be perfect
KpvKatz (1:31:21 AM): oh! really?! hahaha *dances even more*
KpvKatz (1:31:28 AM): but of course ^^
DarkenedCorridor (1:31:33 AM): hehe
DarkenedCorridor (1:31:36 AM): yeppers
KpvKatz (1:31:45 AM): ^__^
DarkenedCorridor (1:32:18 AM): lol i was describing the beliefs to my gf and she was like, "that sounds just like what you believed in before"
KpvKatz (1:32:35 AM): but now you just have a name for it!
DarkenedCorridor (1:32:41 AM): excatly
