To Cain and Cramulus:

I love this thread.

Ignore LMNO, he's just pissy no-one except LHX ever read the Maybe Logic threads from way back.

if treading on old ground for some.

Well that probaly will happen. And im glad actually, since normally for me its the other way around. Nearly everyone I meet tells me the same philosophies', principles, morals and general trends and memes. So id say thats a good sign from this board that I may encounter a certain bordedom with my ideas from some people. Refreshing.

Excellent stuff.  Of course, we can't promise answers.  But we sure as hell have a ton of questions...

Also, not too n00bish.  You're not trying to wow us with your 'wackiness' or throw Principia quotes at us every single post, which is normally what annoys people.  In fact, I'd say your contributions thus far have been fairly solid, if treading on old ground for some.

Yep, Cain's ramping over school buses with the correct motorcycle.

There seem to be a series of different subsets of folks here which generally can be categorized (in a very limited fashion) as:

1. People with Active Hatred for anything that remotely resembles the old Discordian memes.
II. People that consider the old memes to have lost their punch and focus instead on new ones (but don't hate the old ones).
C. People that consider the old memes 'classics', but try to mix them with new, or use them for inspiration for new.

• People that use to old memes to piss of any and all of the above.
5. People that come in with the "LOL I AM TEH KOOLIST DISCORJIAN EVAR! 23FNORDPINEAL!!!", the main difference being that the number 4 people may be joking and the number 5 people appear to be serious.

There seem to be very few members that are in group 1 (mostly they migrate to group one when facing someone from group 5 that hasn't bothered to read any of the warnings posted about the place). Most of the gang here usually float around groups two and three, they may use alts to pretend to be in group four and the group five people are usually chased off with sticks and a healthy dose of The Good Rev. Rodger (which I think may actually be against the Geneva Convention rules on torture).

So basically, what you're doing seems good, E-Prime is always fun and I notice it gets the occasional use here when appropriate. Just keep in mind that many of us have read everything RAW, plus the PD, plus the SubG publications, plus Omar's extras... and the really lame ones (like me) have also watched his interviews that are available on YouTube

Welcome to the party!

To me, it seems that most of us appear to to wander around inside multiple categories...except TGGR, he gets his own special category.

Yea, as iv realised. I simply forgot, and was naive too, that most of you guys are probaly very widely learned. Seen as though that seems to run trend in the discordia mindset. I guess I should make small assumptions and not, and im sorry (well actually im not) if I may patronize or recycle info.

I didnt come on here and read every post first out of acting cautious. I didnt notice the "noobs read here first" threads. I didnt stumble at the front door thinking "what if I make a fool of myself of hitting cliches" because quite simply I couldnt care either ways.

Anyway, enough of justifying myself.

Heh, no worries man... we're all pretty comfortable with the Cosmic Schmuck principle and many of us made similar assumptions on this forum early on (thus the 50 post rule)

Fucking hell... do we need a refresher course on how to use the quote button?

[Triple Zero]

	Fucking hell... d o we need a ref resher co
urse on how to use the quote b utton?

the what button??

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Fucking hell... do we need a refresher course on how to use the quote button?

Bizarre... There wasn't actually quote tags around that... I'm gonna try quoting it again.

UPDATE: Looking at the actual source there are not quote brackets around the bottom comments, but the list tags from my initial post seem to have wandered around to different locations and are thus fscking up the quote close tags in that thread.

Tricksy.

FIXT.

I don't believe you.

LOL, yep its true... It appears that list tags somehow ended up in front of two (Cain and I) of the start quote tags and then both ended after the first quote. Plus, there were three quoted lines (Apex, Cain and I) but only two close tags.
