Thanks Tosk, AE.

I'm still open to criticism and suggestions: font's you like better, images you'd like to see with specific meme bombs, etc.

I'm also planning on doing larger versions of people's stand out favorites, something like 12-up rather than ~100-up that you see now. This also will afford for more complicated images being used...

great idea

I also want to note that for the time being, ANYONE can edit this page, not just registered users.

So hop on and try it out.

He found it written on the Men's room wall at the local International House Of Suck.

Not surprisingly, the waffles at the IHOS are kind of meh

the bathroom, however, is a sight to behold

After seeing a Pratchett quote that LMNO posted, I decided we probably should have some sort of central area for good "Think For Yourself" quotes.

I just made a page on the wiki for Quotes relating to the Black Iron Prison.

I know we've collected a lot of these - mostly Pratchett, and a little Hesse.
What else should be added to this list?

hey, how'd you find Billy Joe's screen name?

I think the War On Fat would garner much more public support than the War on Drugs




or maybe we could compromise and make it the War on Fatties

the spiderman movies don't count. It's not a trilogy if they're just gonna keep churning out more of those failballs.

SPIDERMAN 4: EVEN CRAPPIER THAN SPIDERMAN 3



More and more you see a movie and at the end, instead of closure, you get some crap STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT MOVIE IN TWO YEARS bullshit which won't deliver anyway.

Oh man, they're making this into a TRILOGY!

Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
Godfather
The Matrix
Terminator
Austin Powers
The Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
BOTH Star Wars Trilogies
Bourne Trilogy
Blade
Spider Man
Jurrasic Park
Shrek (?)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

some of those don't fail.
many more of them do.

I think your concerns are legit, Nigel.

Adam Gorightly (Thornley's biographer) thought that they wanted to engineer the meme in a way that keeps it from generating fanatics. "Convictions cause convicts" and all that.

I'm sure we're all on the same page here. We want to get the word out, but we don't wanna brainwash people.

As it's said on the BIP wiki site:
"The basic math is that the more frequently people develop their critical thinking skills, the better it is for everybody involved."

I think the issue here is less about "spreading the word", and more about how to reach the right people...you know, the ones that are Discordian at heart, but just haven't heard of it yet.

OTOH, I get the sense that some people are uncomfortable with the idea of there being an actual group of Discordians, because then it becomes something else they don't fit in with/belong to. My impression is that many people that catch on to the Discordian mindset/belief system have never "fit in", and it's a source of discomfort and occasional anger/frustration.

OTOOH, If there isn't at least some growth, then this whole thing will die out like the Shakers. Cabals seem to be the most useful method, and technically speaking, fit the "small communal" paradigm.

But who here is even part of a cabal? How does one start one or find one? 

great points.

I'm a member of a number of cabals.
I started the JELLO Brothers of America
the Fairfield Cabal of the Nauseous Chicken
the Pirate Action League
the OBNOXIOUS JERK CABAL
the Adam Weishaupt Society
and of course, the Wrath of MS Paint Cabal (or WOMP)

and also a bunch of silly forum avatar cabals like the Ugly Old Woman cabal and the Full House cabal.

I guess I would consider the ASSes a sort of cabal. Or any KSC that participates in OMGASM

My complete dedication and loyalty to the Full House Cabal is greater than my loyalty to many of the others.



many of them were formed from IRL people I know, who got obsessed with an idea, and did lots of projects based on it.

I know an oddly high number of Discordians IRL though, so my results may be irregular.

your rants make me go 

then 



but but but look--

we've just gotta ride this out, right? I mean, soon we'll have some goodly politician ride in on a white horse and start to undo all this, right?

someone to patch up our foreign policy and clean up our reputation? someone to put a trampoline under the freefalling dollar? someone to put everything back how it was before 9/11?


If the majority wants their freedom back, politicians will eventually make it their platform, right? And then we can just elect him or her, and we can go back to sleep.

See everything's gonna be just fine.

also, the OP is a spag! 

oops. Well substitute this then:

epic trilogies

movies based on comic books
