I say it when the topic comes up. When they ask what the hell "discordianism" is, I generally offer my own explanation.

This is, of course, assuming someone I know who was aware of it independently of me doesn't jump in with asinine definitions, which are impossible to explain away.
"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

I just don't particularly care sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not, depends what is appropriate at the time

I don't announce my Discordianism every time I enter a room.

Though friends usually introduce me at PopeTom and I have a few articles of clothing that bear the Discordian Pirate insignia.
So at some point there's an explanation.

This is because whenever I tell someone I am a Discordian, they never take me seriously ever again.

Yeah, I have this problem too. So now I'm just gonna tell everybody that I'm a Satanist. I'd rather be feared than jeered.

Fuck it.  I'm going to get ordained as a Catholic priest and start robbing banks and mugging people.  I mean, apparently, you can be excused any crime if you're in with the Big V.

Lets try it on an even simpler level:

1) There is a minimum energy/mass things can have, everything can be measured in a multiple of this minimum.

2) Objects at this size, or close to it, don't have an exact position or velocity, so they look like waves in most experiments.

3) If you try to measure the location, they act more like particles, just to fuck with you, but the velocity gets more uncertain, also just to fuck with you.

I find it's a lot more fun than being just an atheist, because you go from being some guy they want to convert to some weirdo they don't want to talk to.

With the added bonus of you get to try to convert those who think you're a weirdo.  :lol:

Satanists are the definition of laughable, just fyi.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Once I met a Scientologist at a party. I still don't know if he was really a Scientologist or not--though he seemed to know his stuff better than some bored rich kid would if it was purely for interest's sake. But I out debated him on Scientology stuff. Apparently the poor sap hadn't even read Dianetics. That was fun. The local C.O.S. is a run down old boys' club with computers from 1989, furniture from earlier, and apparently 300 members.

...anyways. A few years back I explained discordianism to my high school comparative religions class and they laughed about it for weeks.

I guess they're supposed to laugh though, aren't they?  It's a joke religion.  Ding, hello.

Maybe I should just be open about it and let them laugh.

Hell, if people could laugh about things weirder than poop jokes more often (better yet, things that could mess up their little minds), the world would be a better place.

I don't ever openly label myself a Discordian.  I have, however, worked in some of the BIP stuff into my work, but in a subtle way without any of the Discordiany jargon or buzzwords. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.
