There's a long rant to go with this, but I don't have it organized in my head yet. This is seriously the fourth attempt I've made to get it down, and it just rambles. Consider this a placeholder for the time being.

I'm still working on answering the first two questions myself, but I eagerly await your rant.

I like the fuck out of this shit. I hope it accomplishes the purpose of actually making people ask the questions "Who am I?" and "What is Them?" because those are both really good questions, and they have answers. Really good concrete ones, as a matter of fact.

The text from the image in the OP comes from the Black Iron Prison, a book put out by the PD board a couple years ago to try to make Discordianism make sense to a generation that doesn't have a lot of patience for pot smoking hippies. I enjoyed many of the essays from that book so much that I incorporated them into my personal Holy BookTM, for which I did a lot of new layout and design work. In this case, I took some liberties with the capitalization.

Some of the folks who've been here longer can give you a better idea of what they meant by "The Con."

Here's a link to the Black Iron Prison. You might enjoy it more if you print it out to read, to tell the truth.

I wouldn't get that edition; it looks like they've stripped all the illustrations out, and the illustrations are a vital part of the book. Maybe a UK spag can help with recommending a better edition? Syn's version is the best: http://www.amazon.com/Principia-Discordia-Magnum-Malaclypse-Younger/dp/1846856043/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1330189068&sr=8-4 but is out of print.

The Steve Jackson version isn't bad: http://www.amazon.com/Principia-Discordia-Steve-Jackson/dp/1556343205/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330189068&sr=8-2

You can get a great, cheap version on Lulu, but shipping can be the killer there.
