Potism
“Life's a sack of potatoes? I don't know about that but I could sure do with some vodka.”
Potism is one of the hottest new cults currently sweeping the Caribbean It is commanded by high priest Tathew Mompsett. The tale of its origin is linked to Mompsett's own love of brownish, hard things which tend to sprout. One day, whilst sitting on a pile of the said brownish, hard things; the sky began to pour with salt. The honourable hard thing lover began to release his own salty substance, in lamentation of his own lack of anything to use the salt for. In this manner of contemplation, he realised that we could have all the potatoes in the world, but if we do nothing with them, there will never be any enjoyment. The religion began Mainly in the International School of Port of spain
Potism directly parallels to other world religions. It is similar to Christianity in that someone must be punished, and that person should always be Tathew so we, as potists, can always be ungrateful and scorn him. To all Hindus wishing to convert, reincarnation is to be believed as long as one has enough chips to pay the High priestess Kate Durden, who tunnels through dimensional hyperspace powered on mustard and chips.
Potism is a form of idolatry and believes in the philosophy that life is a sack of potatoes. Devout followers of the religion will eat, sleep and think about potatoes in an attempt to achieve enlightenment to gain acceptance to the inner sanctum of true potato spirituality. Not so devout followers may continue being promiscuous and obscene as they wish, as long as the Members on the Council of Elders get a piece of the action as well.
Breakable, Bendable and Otherwise Fryable Laws[edit]
- Initiation as a potist requires actually knowing someone who is a potist. Please see potist personal ads.
- Whenever a potist sees either another known potist of higher rank, a potato, a bag of chips, a portion of chips n' curry, a bag of pot, a pot of potatoes or other potentially powerful items, one should hug the nearest person. If actual people are not available, the nearest cat/dog/snail/mosquito/oxygen molecule will do. If oxygen is not available, you might as well just revert to your original religion.
