A blast from the past?

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I have been reading The Invisibles, and I noticed that a lot of the people posting to the letters column were obviously discordians. Furthermore, a lot of them left in their full addresses. Anyone want to jake some discordians who still use the US Postal System circa 1995? It's only been a little over 10 years, so it's more likely to work than some of the addresses listed in the Principia and other discordian works from that era (California Dept of Furniture and Bedding?)

Sure. What did you have in mind?

[Cramulus]

btw - keep your eyes peeled for a letter they printed from HAL PHILLIPS. He's a good buddy of mine who got me into the Invisibles. Also a Discordian.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I dunno. Maybe jake them, or recruit them into a gasm. We'd be hard pressed to spread a gasm more effectively than by joining two entirely separate groups of discordians -- the old guard, which was sending jakes by post before most people knew what a modem was, and the new guard, which hands around places like this.

We have the advantage of knowing about some memes that have hit them pretty hard. References to the Invisibles might be a good posture for some psychic kung-fu

I APPROVE and would be glad to help

[Cramulus]

Maybe just mail them a blank white pin?



also: a meme bomb, and maybe some reference to the Black Iron Prison

A blank white disc on a pin
A memebomb
A letter saying

"you've been reactivated, agent.  Please proceed to undermine consensual reality"

And perhaps a BIP webpage address at the bottom.

That's really strong. I wonder how many people have the same address as they did 10 years ago though.

For the record, I'm always up for mailing stuff to strangers.

This thread gives me an idea/thought:

Is there any communal P.O. box for the BIP, or the members in the BIP? As in an actual, physical place where stuff can be mailed?

The reason I ask is because in the letters that we send to people, it might be worth it to send a return address that they can mail stuff to. That way, if they have an idea or a project to Mindfuck us, they'll have an open line of snail mail with which to do it.

Imagine: forming a quasi-community-penpal relationship from one group of Discordians to another. It would be fun to send stuff one way, but I think it would be nice to be able to receive some actual snail mail feedback.

I like this idea.  And, anyone including a full address deserves what they get.

Also, a communal email.  Because actually mailing something is a giant pain in the ass in this day and age.

Nope. We're a decentralized, disorganized mass.
