Check your distances.  One does not simple "pop into" TRONE.

True.

I should be able to spend 5 days at each location without getting kicked out of America (longer than that means overstaying Visa which is NOT an awesome idea.) But I'm assuming there shouldn't be any distance that needs over a day travel.

The biggest jump is between Austin and Tuscon. Unless Austin falls through in which case it's (gulp) New Orleans to Tuscon.

There's a bit of culture shock for you.

Which means you go through Houston's airport.  If that happens, let me know in advance, and I can offer you some potentially life-saving advice.

Oh, thank you.

I'm mostly looking at bus options, but at this stage, all possibilities stand.

And life saving advice is, naturally, always appreciated.

True, I'm pretty sure Lepage has outlawed "popping into" anything.

I'm trying to balance not going broke with not being skinned and left to be eaten by coyotes.

Don't fly into Fresno, if you're going to drop by. The airport here is fucking expensive.

Did a bit of an interview with Dr Jon. meeting two more Brisbane Discordians today.

Met two IT Discordians. They asked about the progress of Lollercaust, and one of them told me he had copies of Intermittens that he kept in his bathroom. We discussed what fundamentalist discordianism would look like, the relationship between subgenius and discordian philosophy and why Discordia is like a seat full of bees.

The essential message of both is "think for yourself, and get some cheap laughs".

People that think for themselves - especially in an age of bad signal - are going to argue about EVERYTHING.  That is something that people have to accept if they want anything more advanced than cookies & pie.

Just curious:  How close was I to what you guys came up with?

What are IT Discordians?  Discordians who like to play tag?  Discordians who work for Best Buy?

I cant see that image.

IT as in information technology.

The pair i spoke to had (surprise!) Differing views on Subgenii vs Discordia. The Subgenii present told me he was Subgenius when angry, but Discordian when he calmed down.

Seat of bees was to do with an actual seat of bees they saw that morning, and was to do with embracing intellegent rational responses to the world around you rather than being scared; embrace the unanticipated through laughter, not fear.
