A ritual has been disclosed, that predates this order of Lumptonians: The Ritual of the Sighs. It is a secret and esoteric initiative rite, that occurs during one's first experience with Lumpism and it may not be remembered because the Ancients make it so during what is similar to a dream state or a trance.
It is almost like a secret handshake, a way of identifying fellow Lumps (or Blob-Lumps) in the external world. The Sighs may also be accompanied by the Law of Slow Motion, during which no Lump or Blob can move at a "normal" pace. For example, once the car door is open and the feet on the ground to get out, there is usually a pause while the Lumpite slumps slightly for a few seconds. Then the rest of the exit can take place.
Sighs can also take the form of "whew" which is a longer exhalation of breath that may sound like "sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhewww."
While the initiation can be found in sacred texts, the sacred texts can't be found (although the curator of the Lumptonian Hysterical Society is sure they are there somewhere).
This is an important Revelation and should be recorded in the current documentation of Lumptonia.
