Lollercaust?

[LMNO]

Now, we could adopt the lolcat concept (picture with random comment), and use it for our own purposes.

Yeah, I'm down with that too.  IMO, we don't want to focus solely on an internet community.  Ideally, we want to cast the net wide.  If you thought the Black Iron Prison turned people off because it was "too dark", I think you would find a similar situation with people who aren't all a twitter about the internet.  I mean, I know personally I probably wouldn't consider reading something that had a lot of internet jargon/gags in it.  But that's just my take on it. 

True enough, I tried to explain LAIL and LULZ to non-internet people and they were . . . unthrilled, to say the least.

Well, there's no way to avoid getting dated (its just how reality works)... but I think the assessment of LOLCAT sounds about right. Of course, if we're titling it LOLlercaust, then one might expect LOL's and Internet humor.... hrmmm.

Some might, others might think it'a another crazy project started by Perry Farrel.

I dunno, trying to make a pamphlet that can still be relevant in a few years (not to mention funny) is a bit of an impossibility... I shouldn't say this kind of thing but...maybe there should be one short-term edition with anything we find funny right now, and another long-term edition with things we suspect will last longer?

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Or, we start a habit of new pamphlets annually or whatever....

Apparently, during the late 70's and 80's (according to ancient and wise (in some ways) Discordians that I know) there were constantly new Discordian pamphlets. None as popular as the PD, but many, many other odd short writings. The only surviving piece I've found so far is the "Discordian Moosemas Handbook", but there were (apparently) others.

That which doesn't constantly change, runs the risk of stagnancy. As easily as we might stagnate on Fnord and Pineal or 23 ZOMG5... we might also stagnate on the BiP or anything else we write about. The only cure to such a risk (as far as I can tell) is to avoid stagnation through forward motion. Avoid stagnation by creating new pamphlets that may or may not reference old ones... or even, necessarily, the ideas in old ones.

the way i see it, "holocaust" is some sort of german festival, and "LOL" is the dutch word for "fun".

i see no internets ANYWHERE

000, I strongly suggest you write a foreward to Lollercaust explaining that it is of Duch origen, and anyone who things differently is clearly an idiot.

Heh, looks like the other 'similar' term is free for reuse these days anyway.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Hrmmm... we may also have to include something like:

"... and now back to the shoah" coming from a televison set or something

YAY! the jackboot's on the other foot now

This line of thinking is quickly destroying the chances of me ever translating this pamphlet for distribution in Israel.

[LMNO]

So, throw it over the wall to Gaza.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get called anti-Semites just for the term LOLLERCAUST.

[Cramulus]

After being called Racists for the Black Iron Prison logo, that would not surprise me.
