Outward displays of devotion

I am a stern guru, one who does not easily let pride overtake him.

But I do confess to feeling a certain appreciation for the strength of dedication of one of my disciples, who, as I mentioned previously, has created a range of leisurewear and accessories that mark the wearer as a man amongst mice, a women amongst amoebae, and a giant amongst humanity.

The adherents of my teachings are indeed better than others, and it is fitting that they be robed in a manner that marks them apart from the common flock.

My devotee has supplies of:
Water bottles: essential for maintaining liquid supplies during demanding devotional and water-sliding activities;
Bags: a convenient means of carrying the mixture of herbs, plants, animal products, nutritional supplements and inspirational reading materials that are a marker of the elite members of the Master Yung Young creed, the Yung Young School of Guns;
Clothing:
Master Yung Young does not discriminate between male and female adherents of his flock (although he is quite clear as to which he'd prefer in his meditational cave), so his devotees of either gender are expected to mark their adherence by wearing suitable devotional clothing. A picture of such is appended:
Display:
Master Yung Young accepts that there may be times at which your adherence may be advertised other than in the corporeal realm. He also allows for the display of his symbols on your possessions. Show your loyalty by adhering pieces of plastic to your possessions. My devotee calls them "stickers".

This is Master Yung Young, asking that you consider your devotions today. That you apply all your efforts in the temple of steel to the growth not just of your will, but of your body. Although the mind takes primacy, the devotee cannot hope to exercise their dominance solely by force of will. Force of body is also essential.
