Operation Mindfuck: Name the Parts Please for Intermittens 7

[Sheered Völva]

I didn't know where to post this thread on this site.  I want as much input as possible, so am posting this on several Discordian sites and on a public board here.

One thing I want for Intermittens 7 Operation Mindfuck ( see http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=19605.0 for more including my contact info) is a list of all the commonly known OMs (don't want to give away any secret ones that are still in progress--remember, this is a public board).  I put the name of the OM, a very brief and very crappy description just so you have some idea what I'm talking about, and who I think began it and when I think it began.

Please put your additions and corrections in this thread. Thanks.

Book Om or Bookgasm (sneaking Discordian books into jails, prisons, libraries): Eccentric Discordians in 2007
Colbertgasm (getting Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to publicly say something about Discordia/Illuminati): who began it in 2008?

Gasm-Gasm is the acquisition of new people to participate in OMgasm.

I managed to find a site at one point with scans of early jake documents. Perhaps that may be illuminating.


... Assuming I can find it again. But I'll take a look.

Gasm-Gasm is the acquisition of new people to participate in OMgasm.

and GASMGASMGASM is a GASM to promote the GASMGASM. (Spread the word)

also, and this is off-topic in this thread, but if there's a short answer fot his, you have a nice short piece of text to put in IM#7, someone (I think Cram) mentioned "always busy" numbers, which can be highly practical for publicity jakes, that you don't really want to answer press questions about, but still appear legit, or at least hold up the pretense for a while. QUESTION: does anyone know of an easy (or mildly hard) way to find numbers like this for a certain area code? you can easily get three paragraphs of short info blurb out of that and it's useful knowledge and short bits like that nicely fill up a page layuout.

The easiest way would be to buy an extra phone line and plug in a phone that's perpetually off the hook (I dunno if not having a phone connected at all would give you a busy or an arbitrary number of rings). Maybe the modern update to that is to get a cheap pay-as-you-go cell phone and keep it off perpetually.

yes but i thought the point of using some random always-busy number in a certain area code that you can suggest presence in that area without it actually being traceable to you.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I was entirely unaware of the concept until you brought it up in the other thread. Or whoever brought it up.

Make it an unlisted number and nobody outside of the phone company will be able to backtrace it.

[Cramulus]

Yeah, "always busy" numbers are an oldskool phreak resource. Unfortunately there's no known central list of all these numbers, so it's hard to suggest how to find one. I found a bunch by searching for "always busy" numbers, but if there's a better term for that type of line, I'm sure it would reveal more.

that actually sounds kind of costly and effort-intensive. And after about ten minutes of leaving a phone off the hook, it'll disconnect.

Always busy numbers would be great for a bit of filler, if someone knows how to find them.  I'll do an Internet search.

I know you can get a second phone line and simply never hook it up to a phone.  I learned that back in the day when lots of people had dial internet connections--a friend had one line for the phone, another for the Internet.  But that gives you a perpectual ring on the Internet line, I think, unless you're online, in which case I believe it gives you a busy signal.  You could do that now and leave that line on the Internet at all times, but it would mean paying for a second line.

[the last yatto]

a jake roster would be nice

more so if you have it ready by fools day

Why don't we give out that always-busy number that we found in association with Shine Your Light (who apparently 'owns' intermittens) :P.

Surprisingly, Enki has come up with an Amazingly Good Idea.

It happens on occasion. I blame society.

Done.
