>on absfg are you more honest than in your everyday
I've never told a single lie on absfg (not counting this sentence).
I've told 3,765 lies in real life, though 8 of those were for the Good of
the Nation, 18 I thought were true at the time, & 3,127 were merely weak
attempts at humor. Of the rest (the ones I regret), 37 were under oath, 6
involved smuggling Bill the Cat totebags into Ceylon, and 569 were to
myself, which were really the worst lies of all.
>on absfg do people get your jokes more or less often than in "off absfg'
Most of my humor is pretty physical, so absfg people don't really
appreciate it. I've fallen off a step ladder into the arms of a bear on
a unicycle twice while responding to this post alone. (Ach, the lies
continue...)

That was just an estimate for hitchhiking. The last hitching I did (and so
refreshing it was!) was about four years ago when I was stuck without a
legal vehicle in the Northeast Kingdom and a good friend of mine was
getting married in southern New Hampshire, about 200 miles away. Hitching
aroun VT and NH is much easier (even with a dog) and safer than on the
megalopolitan mainline, though. Perhaps I'll hitch to California again
sometime just to see how it is.
Fossil-fuel vehicles one can sleep in are perhaps contradictory to
ecological sensitivity, but I mostly avoid their use save for long trips
or bad weather.
The next mode of travel I want to explore, while still fit and as a means
of enhancing that fitness, is the walking pilgrimage. The role of long
foot-travel has been neglected in considerations of the practices of
ancient and medieval Zen monks who formed this tradition most of us are
fascinated by. Just the walking had something to do with what those monks
and laypersons became. The most recent example being good ol' Xu Yun, whom
everyone from Sheng-yen to Ardie reveres.
As for epithets, certain shaveheads gave mild praise to the description
"pseudognostic cryptomonotheist". Now, them's fightin' words!

A 'nurdle' (though the dictionaries are lagging behind on this word)
is a tiny, compacted, crud nodule. Sweat, body oil, dead flakes of
skin, various fauna that inhabit the surface of humans (the average
American has as many separate BEINGS living on his or her skin as
there are human beings living in America [about a quarter of a billion],
all of this rolled up in tiny balls of STUFF is what I was referring
to as "sweat nurdles".

Actually, no. I made that up about Ardent/Zenmar.
My sympathies with Christianity do not me a theist make. Conversely, this
does not mean I'm an atheist. I'm just not placeable on that spectrum.

Actually, I don't think Ummon was being insulting here, any more than
Stavros gets offended by scatology. If you can't see the Buddha in shit,
there's not Buddha to be seen anywhere.
Ummon does cut loose with some good ones aimed at his audience of
rice-bags, though.

Au contraire (to Big Nag), I believe that there are many human beings who
are quite aroused by the thought of their sex objects as large bags of
filth and shit.
I prefer my physical perception of my fellow humans to be epithelially limited.
