Re: The Tao of Chiff
When you link to the Tao te Chiff,
it is wise to reinforce by means of
a second post.
For repetition is the breath of the Chiff,
and we its lungs.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I hadn't read that in years. It's pretty much 90% inside jokes for people that have been here for 15 years.

It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Re: The Tao of Chiff
The Master said:
The Chiff, what is it?
It is small, yet it encompasses the ten thousand things.
It is vast, yet it offers no place to rest.
Through the Chiff, one may know the beginnings, the perseverings, and the endings.
It is the spirit of the fipple.
In its posts are Light and the Manifest, and in its PMs are Shadow, and the Hidden.
If the Chiff were not the most supreme thing on Earth, how could it do this?

I had to print out the picture for chapter 48 and put it up on my wall...right next to a picture of me playing whistle at the KC Federal Reserve Bank for their ethnic enrichment day.
