Discordian Evangelism

[The Good Reverend Roger]

If I had more time and energy I'd put it into launching a proper tirade against my nemesis Cramulus and his evangelical, orderly ways

but I'm kind of just exhausted.

I'd like to see awareness of Discordia increased, but not using the name Discordia. I'd like to see it in the form of allusions to a shadowy, slightly menacing group of ne'er-do-well's and troublemakers under some other name, with another layer of intrigue under that, and another one under that, so that if people investigated long enough and peeled back all the layers they would find Merry Old Discordja underneath it all.

It would make it more fun, and more interesting.

THIS.

Discordian evangelism = Discovangelism?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Discordian evangelism = Discovangelism?

[LMNO]

Discordian evangelism = Discovangelism?

Only if BEARFORCE1 is playing while you do it.

[MMIX]

Discordian evangelism = Discovangelism?

Only if BEARFORCE1 is playing  Chariots of fire in slowmo while you do it.

I'd say we try to put together a calvinball league, other stupider sports have made this list

So it's about whether or not we attach the Discordian brand to the shit we do.

I was going to say something else, but at 5:56 in the morning I am in no fit state to do more than make that statement.

Apparently, you aren't fit to read HER statement.  Drink some fucking coffee (it's your pal!) and read it again.

I see where you're coming from.

I would prefer if you launched a parallel crusade, rather than counteracting what I'm going for

(I'm not implying that this is what you're doing... Just suggesting that AND beats EITHER/OR)

The more approaches, the better.

In fact, it would be pretty cool to set it up like the AWS was, where different "factions" kept their plots secret from the others, and only revealed it once complete.

It would make it fun for the outside observers, too... We'd start thinking, "another one of ours?" any time we saw something fucked up.

That would be awesome.

My faction will, of course, wind up fighting your faction.  We will prevail.

BRING IT, SISSY!

In addition to tracts / pamplets / posters, I'm thinking some sort of "Exercises" / "Homework" / "Public Service" exercises might be fun to put together.  Unlike specific propaganda / amusement of self and others projects like postering or GASM's, these could be some basic things, (ranging from easy deviancy to high lunacy) that anyone could perform, alone or en masse, to get their hands dirty or develop themselves in the scope of publically active freakdom.  No real goals, except to get more mirth, skill, and comfort, at publically acting out, rabble rousing, disseminating, distracting, or demonstrating.  

Examples:
- Rant in a public place (off the cuff, minimal rehersal, draw metaphors or inspiration from what you see)  
- Debate with a street preacher.  See if they know their stuff well enough to pwn  See if YOU know your stuff well enough to pwn.  See if they get uncomfortable and leave.  See if you can convert them.
- Have a WEIRD, ambiguous bordering on horror, or otherwise startling discussion where other folks can hear (Like Cramulus's "Cat in the Microwave" speach.)  Carry this off as seriously or academically as possible.
- Showtunes.  Make life into a musical for a certain place / group. Add dance numbers?

For the shut-in:  Perhaps we can brainstorm ways to use social network sites to our own advantage.  Our own "circle of friends" may know us to be weirdos, but their circle may not...  Or the various "groups".  This would be different than trolling, it would be more like making things stranger.


Or maybe I'm just babbling here.
