Its Spring and that means its time for an odd passion I have: Garage Sales! For the uninitiated, here's a short summary of this social activity: Sellers rummage thru their houses for all the shit they dont want and tag it with prices (from absurdly low to snobbily high). Signs are posted leading to their house. Throngs of people then show up and buy these treasures. For the buyer, its a big treasure hunt for "THE ITEM". So what is Discordian Garage Saling? A good Discordian never misses opportunities to toss a Golden Apple into everyday life:
DISCORDIAN GARAGE SALING
Step 1: Select only sales at individual homes.
Step 2: At the first garage sale, select a small item that is extraordinarily aweful -- an item that almost no one would buy. Examples include: small pictures of Jesus, wedding cups with engraved names, mushroom people ceramic salt and pepper shakers, or anything with someone's name on it.
Step 3: Purchase this item, remove the price tag, and pocket it. Drive to next Garage Sale.
Step 4: At this garage sale, look around, then take your item from your pocket and ask them what they want for it. Then "replace it" on their table.
Step 5: Identify a new extraordinarily awful item at *this* garage sale.
REPEAT STEPS 3 - 5 AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.
