TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

What's the status with this? Lots of other projects are being completed, and this one seems to have simply vanished.

we're up to the ummmmm.. I think 10th draft? This is our first (and I hope to goddess penultimate) print version. Net and I are buying proofs, then squinting at said proofs with red pencil in hand. There will be one last round of edits before we finalize it.

I have done some extensive research, and this seems to indicate that it is indeed alive:

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

I am wondering if whoever can't get this finished might be willing to pass it on to someone who can.

Well, it does have an appropriate name.

Submitted for your review:

This is the copy for the back cover of the book. What do you guys think? Honest feedback greatly appreciated.


In 1958 or 1959 (we're not sure which), Eris, the Goddess of Confusion, sent an Emperor Penguin to a bowling alley in California. It appeared before Malaclypse the Younger and Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst and inspired them to create the Discordian Society: a tribe of philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and similar maniacs.

The Et Cetera Discordia proudly celebrates 50th the anniversary of this prophetic vision. It is a collage of the funny, weird, and often profound writings and art created by numerous modern (and post-modern) Discordians. This book is an invitation to join them in exploring, celebrating, and remixing this strange and exciting century.

I think it's great!

Needs a "the" between "celebrates" and "50th".

Admitting I know nothing, it looks good to me.

959 sounds nice;-)
[if whatever accuracy is necessary]

at a loss for possible substitution of word "remixing":  good meaning but poor sounding on first read thereof.
[not going to stand to firmly behind that nuanced criticism though]

> It appeared before Malaclypse the Younger and Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, inspiring them to create the Discordian Society:

 . . . for "remixing" how about reforging - being as how it was a fake/forgery in the first place
