Among the average continuumers, what are the ism do's and don'ts?

I wish I was intelligent and cultural enough to understand that question.

Abbie Hoffman said we needed to turn our ism's into wasm's.



Then he shot himself.

Calgourzism. Only a selected few knows what that is. (My friends and I...)

Should this question really be in this forum? is there any Bohemiuumism about it?

After what I've heard 'Ism' is the point at which people stop reasoning and start throwing bombs at each other. I'm not saying I got the right answer to the initial question of this thread, I probably haven't, but that's the way I see it. Ism is where the brain stops functioning and emotion and need starts operating as a very poor substitute.
Peace

I would like to introduce the concept of "Sinisterism" and "Sinisteranity" - being those values which supporters of my various bids for world domination possess.

Phase I basically involves lots of Bring and Buy sales, charity cake stalls at fetes, you know... :lol:

Phase II however is more fundamental and concerns the eradication of all other types of "ism" or similar such, erm, thingy once I have inevitably secured control of the planet. For example, Sinisteranity will supplant religions such as (but not limited to) Christianity as all other beliefs will be outlawed, to the extent that popular everyday phrases used by the general population will be phased out and replaced.

Eg, phrases containing outbursts along the lines of "Jesus Christ", "Oh My God" or derivations of the same will instead read as follows:

1) For Sinister's sake...
2) Doctor H Sinister on a motorbike (popsicle stick, etc).
3) For the love of Sinister...
4) Oh My Sinister.

etc.

Thus cementing my role as the true centre of the universe.

I am sure you can all see that this is a reasonable measured response to the chaos of today's world and in the interest of humanity as a whole. And don't forget that I intend for 10% of every tax-penny you pay to go straight into my pocket to build my fabulous palaces and LEGO cities. It's not corruption if I tell you about it up front...

Dr. S.

Sounds like a good deal, my dear Sinister. Just go ahead, I'll probably be a follower. Though nothing can or will be said with certainty here, as I myself am a follower of 'not a chance a-ism' which holds all beliefs to be false until the great a-dodo rises once again. But unless we all stand united singing 'we shall overcome' whilst spinning around and wiggling our leftmost toe in the general direction of skövde and simultaneously buying a scan hotdog wrapped in a four month old copy of the times while editing a poem surpassed by a vast majority of the population of Falun, Dalecarlia, Sweden, then I'm your man!
You bet I am!
