The Giver

[MedeoPlusPlus]

This has been one of my favorite books ever since I first read it in 8th grade, and since the movie adaptation is coming out sometime next year, I thought I would mention it...

I think it counts as Discordian fiction in a way because it deals with the importance of disorder and creative chaos in a world of almost absolute order, but also emphasizes the advantages of order and therefore promotes the Discordian idea that true happiness grows from the cultivation of both. What do you think?

the giver is a classic example of the bound binding people.

you were born bound, ever since you had your sexual organs. cut them off and become unbound!

I think I'll pass on that...

Perhaps Mr. Wrench is simply speaking out on his own (natural) shortcomings?

Just a thought...

"Or do you practice for 3 hours a day because you can't get yourself a lady? your not a eunich are you?"

or something along those lines...

[MedeoPlusPlus]

Coincidentally, part of the PM I just sent you was that very quote.

"You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet.... you're not a eunuch, are you?"

What a great movie

It's a conspiracy!!!!

oddly enough, you can't spell conspiracy, without the word Piracy. you also can't spell slaughter without laughter.
