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.

"Ellen" is on in the hotel lobby where I'm waiting for my ride.

With special guest Deepak Chopra.  Who proclaims with a straight face that money can't buy happiness while he plugs yet another stupid book.

Seriously, the man must be fucking loaded after all this time.  I mean, maybe not as rich as "Ramtha" but who is?

Most TVs (but not all!) have 'off' buttons.  Don't be afraid to use them - the gods of television are generally far too lazy to get of their couch and smite you.

If you can't find an off button, plugs and cable inputs work just as well.

It's an unfalsifiable statement.  You'd have to check the majority of television sets for 'off' buttons, and even if you fail to find them I can just say you weren't looking in the right place.

I'm sure you can't disprove me, at least.

Well, that all depends on what the meaning of "off button" is.

I just googled TV-B-Gone and now I have yet another item on my list of wonderful things that I must have.

Yeah...If this continues, I might just have one rush-delivered to the hotel lobby.

QuoteDeepak Chopra.  Who proclaims with a straight face that money can't buy happiness while he plugs yet another stupid book.

Money can't buy happiness. But it buys food and water and shelter. These things help me survive. I want to survive so I can continue to experience non-money-bought happiness.

sounds reasonable to me.

Seriously, the man must be fucking loaded after all this time.  I mean, maybe not as rich as "Ramtha" but who is?

How can you insinuate Ramtha is a fraud? I mean, the accent! And the pipe! She Smokes a friggin pipe, for christ-sake. Don't you know women can't smoke pipes? He/she's got to be authentic!

If by "trust" you mean a foreboding and vaguely bowel-upsetting sense that even so much as looking at that visage means my life is about to irrevocably change for the weirder, then yes.
