| I've misplaced it... |
[02 Nov 2011|01:47am] |
I seem to have misplaced the image of "An Erisian Prayer," and cannot find it on Google. Does anyone have a copy to point me to or send to me? It's the one that goes ( like this. )
Thanks in advance!

| Discordian Date program? |
[21 Oct 2010|03:43pm] |
Is there a downloadable program, like an .exe or similar, that when open displays the Discordian Date for the day? I'd really appreciate something like that.
My main computer has Windows XP, the other one is an Apple.

When I turned 18 (in 1993) I thought it would be funny to run for mayor of Tacoma, where I live. Still being in high school with a 12" mohawk, I didn't get too far. But I did meet a colorful character that helped with my efforts.
I'm glad to see he's still around and gotten crazier.

| quick question |

do you think discordianism really rests on an alternative set of metaphysical presuppositions? or is it just more aristotelian BS?

| losing a discordian friend to the scientologists? |
[14 Oct 2009|04:08pm] |
I'm not usually one for LDD gossip, but I heard from a new gamer friend that he knew a guy back in the day in high school (decade-ish ago) who went from being big into discordianism, to baiting weird cultists, to getting interviewed and brainwashed into scientology. Dudes apparently drifted apart b/c the guy way always trying to get him to go to Scientological events.
has this happened to anyone you know? Does getting into the discordian critique of silly beliefs have the potential to make us more vulnerable to these beliefs? I guess there's a reason they say chapel perilous price of admission your mind.

| Is Craig Ferguson a Discordian? |

Did anyone catch last night's monologue on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson? The subject was John Dillinger. I didn't think anything of it at first, since he talks about historical people and events from time to time. But he wrapped it up by mentioning "it was rumored that he had a 23-inch penis." Hmmm... Dillinger, the number 23... is Craig Ferguson secretly a Discordian? Or is he just a witty, funny guy who says whatever he wants and doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks? (Which still sounds like a Discordian to me.)
I'm thinking maybe some sort of shout-out is in order, like the ColbertGASM a while back, just to see how Ferguson would react. Though I'm not sure how to plan it, since I'm still kind of new (and inept) at the whole jake thing. Any suggestions for a CraigGASM?

| YOGAP RADIO!!! |
[09 Jul 2009|08:28pm] |
For those who don't know yet, I have a cyberfunded creativity project going called "Ye Olde Goldyn Appyl Presse." It is a fake newspaper with a Discordian flavor, as it takes place in a universe similar to ours, but much more interesting, bizarre, and magical. Anything can (and often does) happen there. YOGAP makes The Onion look boring and dull by comparison! You can click here for a couple free samples or click here to view the list of YOGAP features. But most of the action goes on in my LJ, where I pimp YOGAP features and post the funded projects.
In fact, I just completed a Ye Olde Goldyn Appyl Presse radio show! It consists of a welcome, a fake ad, a breaking news bit, and the ending. The whole thing is almost 4 minutes long. I hope to upload it to YouTube. But if you want to hear it, I'm asking for $4! That's just $4! Once I've gotten $4, everyone will be able to hear it whether they contributed to it or not. Every dollar helps!
It was a lot of work, but I'm only asking $4 for it because I hope to post it on YouTube and use it in part as advertisement for the whole YOGAP project. Once released, embedding will be ENCOURAGED.
CLICK HERE TO GET TO THE DONATE BUTTON
You know, I like this idea so much I might do other features of YOGAP in a radio version, like "Celebrity Interview" with Vick Shunnel. :-)

| An algorithm to rid the world of oppression and violence |
[28 Jun 2009|01:34pm] |
As we've just heard, the world is divided into evil rich people who keep the rest of us down, and the rest of us who are being kept down by the evil rich people.
The solution is obviously to shoot all of them. Unfortunately, once we've done that the violent revolutionaries then become the ruling class.
The trick is, if there are, say, n evil rich people, and each freedom fighter can take out 2 of them, the revolution should be carried about by n/2 revolutionaries. They will then become a somewhat more manageable class of evil rich people who keep the rest of us down.
Then, we'll have another revolution, where the n/2 evil rich people will be slaughtered in the name of holy justice by n/4 righteous warriors.
By mathematical laws which I learned in university and just barely remember, after log2(n) revolutions and 2n - 1 people dying you'll be left with a single evil rich person who's personally responsible for all the downtroddenness in the world. Then we all pray to Eris and he'll die from an ingrown toenail.
And we'll all live in peace, freedom, and harmony. QED
Minor issues:
Each revolution must happen before the previous ruling class can reproduce.
Since this scheme results in the death of 2n people, it only works if n is less than half the world's population. If it's just a childish Marxist fantasy that a tiny minority of people are responsible for all the world's misery, this program will result in universal annihilation, which some consider a downside.

| A note of appreciation from the rich |

(shamelessly stolen from scroogle.org, via ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) 23press)
 Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery.
On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it — you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!
As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.
Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us — and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way. But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.
Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!
You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold."
Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against.... We continually push your wages down by invoking "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated federal deficit." We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening — instead, you blame "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," and countless others for your troubled situation.
We're also very pleased that many of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only life right out of you. We obviously don't know much about work, but we're sure glad you do!
Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know that. In fact, you can't even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our system — robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think and act for yourself.
So we'd truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" — without even knowing it!
