Think for Yourself, Schmuck! / Re: Nein, du Führer!

I thought that "ye" and "thee" were the plural forms of "you" and "thou," respectively. Or perhaps we are thinking of the laguage at different point of time?

Actually, English lost its informal form of you, as you is formal. Thou was the English informal, but fell out of use. I hypothesize that we English-speakers are overly-ceremonial, proper, and stuck up, so informality was dropped from the laguage. Another interesting note is that in the Anarchist-controlled areas during the Spanish Civil War, stangers and friends alike were pretty invariably greeted as tu (that u is supposed to have an accent, but I have no idea how to accent shit, so whatever).

Sorry if this has been done to death, but I didn't see a topic on it on the front page and I'm too lazy to look beyond that.

Who, other than those mentioned in the PD itself, do you think is deserving of the status of Discordian Saint (Second-class or otherwise)?

The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us.

The ‘lunatic fringe’ has more sense then most.

Of course we do. The vast majority of people are drowning in self-deception and lies that they are to afraid to question, while the "lunatic fringe" questions the base assumptions of society and find something else. What  we find may be bullshit, but at least we have the sense to look.

crime is the only way to make an honest buck.

If this hasn't already been added to the one-sentence meme-bomd thread, it should be. That's great.

Waffles! Not only do they taste awesome, they're even more fun to eat, as you can watch the syrup fill each little square thing, while pancakes, lacking the little square things, do not have this bonus.

Principia Discussion / Re: Which of these (or some other tome you want to mention) blew you away the most?

« on: February 24, 2008, 03:57:55 am »

The PD, The Illuminatus! Trilogy, and Beyond Good and Evil would be my top three. Siddhartha by Hesse also had some influence.

I'd say we (that is, Discordians) portray Eris as being beautiful because we find what she embodies beautiful, and we would imagine her as being rather ugly if we weren't enamoured with chaos.

While cookies may feign amusement now, we'll see who's laghing when the hot, tasty fruit filling of war rain down upon their heads.

No.

Cookies. 

Cookies are good, but they cannot stand up to the flavor onslaught of the pie menace. They must bend knee or be crushed.
