Is Terry Pratchett a Discordian?

we do believe there's no excuse for putting pineapple on pizza.

That would be because there's no need for an excuse to put pineapple on pizza. It is an inherently good thing.

You better stay the fuck away from my pizza!

There was a time when I was like you. Then I was shown the way, the light, the truth.

I can only pray that one day you shall walk the same path.

You can't have pineapple on a pizza without olives marinated in kahlua. Otherwise it would just be wrong[/].

I recommend maintaining vigilance in or near the pool on the roof.

Far better to do that kind of shit in the bunker in the basement.

While I've never heard Pratchett call himself a Discordian, the idea that he is not aware of it, after reading "Thief of Time" or playing "Discworld Noir" (which actually has a religion that is so close to Discordianism that it is scary) is untenable, to say the least.  If I ever get the chance to meet him in person, it is a question I intend to ask.

Yeah, I think that The Thief of Time was almost definitely intended to touch on Discordian themes; If that was a coincidence I'll eat my hat.

The Thief of Time actually touches on both "classic" Discordianism AND on the Church of the SubGenius, what with the time-controlling powers and the yetis and all...

[Cain]

True, I kind of overlooked the latter, but yes, there is only so much coincidence one can take before you have to declare there is indeed a pattern there.

OK, just checked my copy of Discworld noir.  It didn't work, because its not made to work with Vista. 

However, I did check a game guide and it reminded me of a few things.  In particular, how does this strike you?  A conspiracy theorist named Malaclypse, who can be found at the Temple of Small Gods and worships the Ephebian (ie Greek) goddess of Misunderstandings, Errata, who, according to the plot of the game:

"was the cause of the Tsortean Wars; not, as most people believe, Elenor. Understandably not the most liked goddess, Errata wasn't invited to many weddings, one of which was Peloria and Theta's. She was not pleased, and so devised a plan for revenge. She had Neoldian forge a golden falchion with "For the Strongest" engraved on it. This caused a fight between almost 80 different war gods. Luckily Neoldian had also engraved "Batteries Not Included" on the falchion, which fortunately for Errata, caused an argument between Patina, who thought the sword was a subtly observed metaphor for the hopelessness of existence, and Cephut, who thought it was a big knife. In the end it became so heated that Astoria bribed Rhome of Tsort to steal and hide the falchion just to shut her sister up. In return, Astoria gave Elenor to Rhome and the resulting extramarital confusion blew up into the Tsortean Wars."

Yeah, Pratchett has never heard of Discordianism.

He lives best who's fain to hide Eris beneath a veneer of the sane.
