In this thread, we'll list the awesome threads and projects we started in 2010.
The goal is to record the history of PD so that future generations can figure out what the fuck we were on about this year.
You can link to threads of personal interest (such as really hilarious threads, or threads about major life events), or to project threads. Emphasis is on stuff you/we made.
so tell me...
What was the Discordian Society up to in 2010?

The Et Cetera Discordia (http://cramul.us/2010/12/the-et-cetera-discordia/) - while technically this was written in 2008, it was only published in 2010. Celebrating 50 years of the Discordian Society, it contains writing and art by dozens of Discordians.

The Showdown (http://cramul.us/2010/10/the-showdown/) - Absurdist fiction by Cramulus. It's about cowboys.

Pranks and Participatory Projects
Printable Facebook Like stickers (http://cramul.us/2010/08/printable-facebook-like-stickers/) - these stickers allow you to comment on the meatspace universe as if it's a facebook wall.
Placid Dingo's "Burn the Koran... to Disk" prank (http://23ae.com/2010/09/burn-the-koran-to-disk/)

Moosemas 2010 (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=27538.0) - Moosemas is a Discordian Holyday from 1986 that has been rediscovered and is getting a new coat of paint. There are more moosemas celebrations every year, it's coming back in a big way!
Audio
The Spider Project (http://www.reverbnation.com/thespiderproject) - this started as a series of posts in apple talk called "Hey LMNO". LMNO created amazing audio tracks out of the text.
Frost Heaves (http://www.reverbnation.com/thefrostheaves) - LMNO's band
Dead People for President (http://www.myspace.com/525991563) - by Lay Day Gar Gar vs the Fail Parade (cramulus and chloe)
Good Discussions
What can this forum help us accomplish? (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26340.75) - we talked about how we can help each other get better at doing what we want to do. The conclusion, I think, was that we need a more visible list of active projects that people can participate in, and we need to get better at distributing the stuff we create.
I really enjoyed the beginning of what I'll dub, for lack of a better title, The Apple Talk Essays.
If I'm remembering correctly, I think the Spider threads started it all. But then there were the threads from one poster to another and then launched into some (sorry for the Bill and Ted-ism) righteous social commentary/social skewering. But I really enjoyed that development and I think it helped me, on a personal level, to feel like I had some kind of input and involvement around here beyond my stupid jokes.
There were some pretty good WOMPs last year. (Even though I wasn't in any of them.)
The "Who Are We?" thread that popped up near the end of 2010 was pretty awesome. Who Are We, 2011? (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=27864.0)
Oh and :mittens: for ECD coming out!!!!
ETA:
Okay, so here's the one rant I wrote in 2010 that I think came out pretty well: You Want Your Country Back? Sure, here, take the fucking thing..... (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26128.0)
Also, I think there was quite a bit of funny in Unbridled Punnery - which makes punnery very lonely (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=25385.0)

30 Days of Eris (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=24245.0) (Which I still need to proof).
x-posted to http://blackironprison.com/index.php?title=2010_in_Review
WOW, blackironprison.com needs some love - we should really update it so that it reflects us better. I mean check out the front page, it's like several years old.
What about the 'Hey Jim' PDF companion to the Spider Project? Was that 2010?
You know, I've been looking for that. If anyone still has it, set me up.
I was just digging that up!
here's the (incomplete) list of threads: http://blackironprison.com/index.php?title=Apple_Talk_Dialogues - please help find any missing ones!
A PDF file made by Pariah (http://www.scribd.com/doc/26344746/Hey-LMNO-v3) which contains a lot of this
that's technically from 2009, but we never indexed it anywhere so it goes in this thread too!
edit: updated link to pariah's pdf
*** Dok Howl finished his flashy-light-puke-zapgun device project. But I don't have a link to that. And he never posted pics :(
*** Cram did you also create Pirate Pass-off this year? Dunno if it counts as Discordian, but it's a great game. [thread: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=17954.0 ]
*** Also, we played a variation on Werewolf, SPIDERS. (Spiders game threads: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26489.0 , http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26579.0 , http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26824.0 , http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=27312.0 , http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=27572.0 ) as hosted and narrated awesomely by LMNO for the first couple of games, then he didn't have time so people had to use their IMAGINATION, causing the Spiders no end of grief.
(*** whoops the memebomb database project is started in 2009)
*** Last year I found out that Cramulus has the same hobby as mine, being to save and download any and all weird-ass crazy pics we find on the interwebs. He had the great advice to sort them by year, which I have since then done, so later on, when I uploaded them all, and get around to it, I'll post a pic thread with my 2010 Collection of Weird Images. And naturally I urge Cram to do the same with his.
*** 2010 is the year we improved our postcounts: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=25926.msg906855#msg906855
*** Edinburg DoD meetup: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=24287.0
Oh yeah, 2010 saw Roger's face in Boston. Hilarity ensued, and a gaggle of Discordians met in person.
From me;
The Rough Draft of the 'Movie' Script: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1aCF1d-c0CeDxZRXv92bJ5yxooArUiMzqoGhta8cGkx8
My 'Me and My Hair' story (awaiting illustration from Herbertina and Liam) http://www.scribd.com/doc/40853759/Me-and-my-hair . Not technically Discordian so I'll let you call that one.
Put myself in an untenable situation, got real sick, got to Providence & Boston, met Nigel & her boy thing.

Thanks.
With a lot of help I put the memebomb "A black sheep is still a sheep." on public display on election day.
There were cute hats and punny signs. Plus we got an excellent video out of it. It was glorious.
Baa! (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=22907.0/)
Shit happened, and Suu didn't do much of anything.

Thanks man! It was a lot of fun.
I convinced myself I didn't do SHIT, then realized I'm invovled in a bunch of that stuff.
I also hosted a few Discordian gatherings. Or gatherings involving Discordians that weren't just the Providence contingent.

:sotw:
Also, Net sent me some SWEET stickers with the Angler Fish design, there's a thread for it somewhere but not sure where.
Have done jack and shit, sadly. Recruited someone, but haven't been able to do much.
This year, I'll be doing more. Just need to decide what.

I vote that Net gets a medal of some sort for making / giving away such bad ass stickers
Actually, I did contribute one thing everyone seemed to like, and Net did a very cool flyerification here (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=27394.msg969813#msg969813).
I participated in some VERY awesome hangouts and meatups, most notably including Dok Howl's Bostonian Invasion and Moosemas 2010.
On a personal creative level, though, 2010 was a dud year for me. Lots of stupid young-person angst and friendship troubles that filled my writing gland with emo poop, as well as some serious academic struggles this past semester.
chairman of the floor boards (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=26474.msg929286#msg929286)
ive done nothing and will continue doing nothing
oh, ech broke my liver. he threatens to do it again.
I remember the Orange Eating Contest & going to Tucson and hanging out with Dok Howl and Freeky. I am fairly sure I showed some art.
Other than that, I am very, very sketchy on details. I think I wrote a couple of children's books and possibly a slim volume of poetry. I have the feeling it was a fairly epic year.
