Lollercaust?

[hooplala]

I was thinking about doing a Discordian send-up of The Lady of Shallot, but it might take me a while.

I loved both of those, Hoopla! Thanks.
I get the feeling it may be an almost insurmountable task to put together a pamphlet that is funny to anyone who reads it. One kind of person may be turned off by the mythological setting of Snub #5, whereas another kind of person may not get "Modern Sisyphus" just because the characters are stoned.
These may not be the best examples but you know what I mean. Maybe the dream of a single all-enROFLing Lollercaust is not something realistically attainable? Maybe it would be better to target a few specific sub-culture groups and write pamphlets specifically targeted at each, with in-jokes at all? The humor of the Internet age is, after all, mostly made of in-jokes.

Then perhaps it would be a good idea to make the Lollercaust into a series, with sections organized by types of humor. There would be a common thread running through all of them (even if it's just a footnote that says "Part of the Lollercaust"), but we could maximize the effectiveness of various flavors of Discordian literature by combining them. Some people like stories about Eris, some people like stories about people whom Eris screwed with, some people like lunatic rants, and the list goes on.

What is "BVH"?

[Chairman Risus]

"Baron Von Hoopla"

Though I think he lost his Baron title in a card game to Enrico?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Ah, excellent.

I have the file open and awaiting time and inspiration; I imagine it will roll fairly well once I get going, but it is long as fuck.

This is true, but "-H" looks odd, so I tend to still shorten it the way I used to.  Sorry Nigel.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I am enlightened!

Well, since no one else has said anything... I'm game. I'll start compiling stuff etc today. Post things that are LOLERCAUST worthy, send me PM's with stuff... whatever.

Also, we seem light on silly essay length pieces... One or two page pieces would be very helpful

Maybe some of our memebombs as banners anyone?

I just copied all of this.  It's going onto my ereader.

Yes, I now read longer posts while IRL.

Fuck you, don't laugh at me.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

More parables and stories with Eris would be useful!

I was inspired last night while putting the LOLERCAUST together, the version I am compiling currently is under the working title:

LOLERCAUST: The Red Letter Edition (wherein everything Eris says in in red letters)

That was, I think better than:

LOLERCAUST: Because 6 Million Dead Jews Are Teh Funnay

 

[Triple Zero]

1) it's LOLLERCAUST with double-L

2) no, the 6 million dead jews one would definitely not get my approval [even though i'm a bastard that would make puns like these IRL, it's not something you wanna subtitle an important pamphlet with]

3) it would be nice if it could be printed in black/white, so i dunno about red letters. but i like the idea behind it.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

OK, adding the extra L.

Black and White

There's gotta be a BGP quote or two that would be appropriate for Lollercaust.
