TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Since when is "seeing the horrormirth" not the same thing as "wading knee-deep through pure, unfiltered cynicism"?
Unless stated otherwise, feel free to copy or reproduce any text I post anywhere and any way you like. I will never throw a hissy-fit over it, promise.

ok, i got the horror, but wheres the mirth?

maybe through captioning?


BTW, i saw the original works when i went to spain.  really heavy stuff.


some of the captions are puns.

otherwise i agree with Anch, it's a lot of cynicism.

To me, cynicism is more on the nihilist side, while horrormirth is a bit more lighthearted; you can laughscreech at the hilarious madness of the world, but you can still try to make it a tiny bit better.

But, you know, YMMV.  :)

I think the original definition was "laughing that is indistinguihsable from screaming".

You know, seeing the horrific slapstick that is the world, and finally understanding the gruesome punchline.

I'm surprised I didn't think of this before but the companion expression for Horrormirth should be "Horray".

For example:

Losing a game of Risk 2210 to the noob.  (To be exact, having to retreat to the only free space on the board not nuked by his fleet -- the moon.  I believe all told he had 48 countries, first time playing.)

American Idol.

Pretty much any religion.  Falling under this umbrella is remembering the years where you were a fundamentalist and doing everything your Christian friend told you to do.

Books full of rules on how to break the rules.

Most pagan forums.  For the most part, here, I'm referring to the ones where "everyone's beliefs are accepted", no matter how inane or pathetic they are -- the ones who proclaim free speech and then boot anyone who doesn't agree with them.  For example, anyone who mentions Discordianism.

"New Age" books: they're so bad its funny.  I recall a book which tried to turn Aleister Crowley's works into a fluffy bunny manual for teen witches.   :x

Horray!
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.
