Definitely bigger for ease of reading, with no more than three items per page, I think. I'd stay away from black or dark backgrounds because that's harder for the average schmoe to print out multiple copies of on his own printer, but maybe alternate versions, some with white backgrounds and others with cool backgrounds, would be a good idea.

Oh, and here's your

Also, I encourage any and all negative feedback.

IT SUCKS AND YOU SHOULD CHOKE ON A RUBBER CHICKEN FOR HAVING MADE IT

Just kidding. These are cool, and I look forward to future variations.

I only found out that peedycom existed yesterday. And if it looked like I was trying to make you guys look like asshats, then (as I mentioned in my endnote) I was obviously doing it wrong, yet again. Thanks for the invite to hang around, but if you guys think the idea of actually changing things through mass action is ridiculous, I doubt we have much to say to each other.

Oh, I disagree entirely.

Much better.

One point - I think it was Cramulus who said that you can only hope to throw a wrench in the gears of the MACHINE (tm) by getting close to the machine. He's 100% correct, but you don't get that close to the workings if you hope to be one of the guys directing it - only if you're one of the poor grease-monkeys down there getting filthy making it work. Which is exactly why Marxists say that "hope lies in the proles", rather than in sneaking your way into the elite.

We ARE the grease monkeys. We ARE the proles. Is it wrong for us to be self-directed, or must we let float listless in the sea of humanity, waiting for a revolution to come along?

But if it only takes you 2 hours to vote you're doing it wrong.

Doesn't matter. Putting MOAR votes into the system, regardless of how much thought is put into them, will cause MOAR Chaos and Lulz.

what makes the BIP work, i think, is viewing as the opening stages of a process of introspection.  the pamphlet itself isn't the final word in terms of what it stands for (although i can see how it might be easy to make that hasty inference). i think if one wants to get a better grasp on the idea one should read the forum posts regarding it.  the introspective process and therefore the evolution of the metaphors continue within the forums.  By doing this one can see how it evolves differently for each individual.   

That's my take as well, and I think it's where Doloras's interpretation falls short. The BIP is not a "full" philosophy, and it's not meant to have all the answers. We'd be pretty fucking arrogant to assume that we know how to "fix" everything that's wrong with the world, when what we're really doing is telling people how to screw around with their personal definitions of what's wrong with the world.

Also, FTR, I didn't care for the BIP when I first read it either... but thats because I was still a Pinealist and thought it wasn't silly enough for a Discordian to bother with.

FABULOUS!

I'll judicate a motherfucker. After I kill it.

I will kill a motherfucker.

How did you generate a sigma?

A lot of these disorders are associated with physical, structural differences from 'healthy' people.  So while the current era is certainly unique, I'm not prepared to claim it is actually causing any of them.

WHAT CAUSED THE STRUCTURAL CHANGE?  MUTAGENIC OOZE?

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Mark my words.

Tried to chew it to get zonked,
Fuck! Real cacti hurt!
