for several years, every morning a young zen student would greet his master by demanding his master teach him to attain satori, and every morning the zen master would curse his student and force him to do some menial task as punishment for his insolence one morning, the zen master responded, "satori is the highest attainment of zen, the best state of existence. if you want to understand what is best, put aside everything in your life and leave here today. using only the money you have in your pocket travel across the country and soon you will be enlightened." three months into the trip and thousands of miles from home the zen student was discouraged and ready to give up. stranded and penniless he wandered aimlessly along a weed choked highway median until he found a run down strip mall with a single business, a computer store. the zen student went in hoping to ask if he could borrow a phone and call his relatives for enough bus fare to come home. as he entered the store he heard the owner and a customer having a violent argument. "stop trying so sell me what i don't need!" the customer was shouting. the owner shouted back "i'm just trying to give you what you want!" the customer slammed down a box on the counter. "like this! don't show me this trash, i only want what's best!" red faced the owner grabbed the box and shook it at the customer. "trash? trash?! i don't sell trash! everything is the best!" at this point the customer and the owner noticed the zen student. the zen student smiled, bowed deeply, and said "thank you," and walked out of the store.

after leaving the store, the zen student walked next door to the Something Awful office and took a photo of Lowtax sleeping peacefully on the office couch
