I'll go first:

You make up the most insane, dystopian joke you can possibly come up with based on events around you.  Then tomorrow you look in the paper and find out you weren't joking...But somehow, you still can't stop laughing.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

It means to automatically pick up on the BULLSHIT pouring out of the sad old drunk next to you about how they can't find 'bamas birth certificate when you're hanging out with people at the bar and you'd rather listen in for more fuel for mockery and for an opening for a goodly drunken argument than your friends.

It means you're a misanthrope with a sense of humor about it.

At its best it means a way for very intelligent people to be very, very silly indeed.

Personally it means to me that I develop my own thoughts, ideals and values as a conscious ongoing process, that I seek to reach my greatest possible degree of autonomy, that I dont take things too seriously.

Being a discordian is saying "No" when you are asked "Are you a discordian?".

To as much as possible, shape yourself, and not be shaped by the surrounding institutions. Unless you want to.

Ta, though reading it back, I sound like a beginner who isn't into specifics. Which, I realise I am.

It doesn't mean a damn thing. Not in any practical sense, anyway.

Every Discordian I've ever talked with has been so different from the next, that there don't seem to be any defining characters.
