 :lol: Wow, I really start to understand why the noob-effect here is so strong.  It's like watching the same old stuff play out over and over again with different specifics every time.

Here's a pretty good one line description:

Discordianism is doing different things over and over again but getting the same result despite all expectations.

Here's another:

Discordianism is much more fun than Atheism, more stylish than Satanism, pays FAR less well than Christianity, will not dissolve in the wash or protect against STDs, and tends to produce mixed feelings about one's connection to Diety and Fellow Discordians.

Also.. It's good to see you getting in touch with your angry side Twid. 

You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Well Twid, I guess these things happen.  :)

So, Insanity.  I must hope that you realize that in claiming ownership of me that there are innumerable, expensive licenses required to properly operate a Wizard and that attempts to do so without proper PPE are entirely done at your own considerable risk.  In the event that I begin to emit sparks, fungal spores, or a keening sound that attracts ants do not be alarmed as these are part of my usual operational activities.  This does not mean that you are safe however.  To truly be safe you would need something that I cannot give you.. mostly because I have no Idea what to call it or where it may be found.  If you find it please let me know. Or don't.  Good luck retaining your ownership rights in the current tort climate.  I'll be seeing you around.

Yeah, you have no idea how this place works.

Welcome. I don't recommend bending over.

Maybe I do, maybe I don't.  But guess what?  I own you.  And your cauliflower too.  The funniest part is that you don't even realize.

Welcome to my Discordia   :)

Why did the Cauliflower hang out with the Cabbage?

Because he heard that the Broccoli rob.

Hi there Insanity, nice to see you.  Don't mind the natives.  The board gets hungry every now and again and needs to feed.

ummmmm sorry but that sounds kind of dismissive of "the natives", are you trying to imply Twid's reaction was unreasonable?

really?

a n00b that starts with a troll question, and follows up in quick succession with pineal, "I own you", passive-agressive and butt-hurt in the span of just six posts ??

is he worth it, RWHN? apologize for the behaviour of those restless unkempt "natives".

I don't understand why you have to do this man. You know where this one is going. You've been here long enough, longer than me! Name me ONE new poster in the history of PD that started out with "hey guys what is this Discordia thing all about?" and did NOT end up being a butt hurt troll? Read his posts again:

This guy came here for no other reason than to simply stir shit.

Assuming that, after all these years, you must recognize this just as easily as I do, what am I supposed to make of you, apologizing to a n00b troll about "the natives sometimes get hungry"?

You saw the guy, stirring shit, and you thought, hey that seems fun! his hands are all brown and sticky SO LETS JOIN HIM AND CREATE A MUCH BIGGER MESS THAN IS REASONABLY NECESSARY--OH HEY YUMMY THIS BIT'S NOT COMPLETELY DIGESTED YET NOMNOMNOM WHEEEEE SHIT POOP SPLATTER I CAN WRITE MY NAME WITH MY NOSE ON THE WALL HEY GUYS YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JAR OF SAND AND GARGLE GARGLE GARGLE

That...is actually the best goddamned description of what's going on inside my head that I've ever heard. Add shaved monkeys in glitter body paint and a giant cotton-candy machine for my enemies to run like a hamster-wheel until they float away and you've pretty much have me diagnosed, mister.

I am going to ask my friend who plays accordion to record me some disco accordion. Because that would be awesome!

I usually like the 50 post rule but I gotta agree with Trip here. It's not like we haven't seen this sort of thing before.

Also, I'm a nice dude. Cainad said so, so I have to accept that. I'm all for giving everyone a chance but with this one I don't expect anything more than a troll or an idiot. I don't know which and don't care to.

Also, cauliflower sucks.

I have to say I'm with Twid on this one.  This guy is obviously a troll or an idiot.  If the dude's sense of humour doesn't immediately match Twid's (I mean come on, this guy totally should have carefully combed the forum to digest what "discordianism really is" before he had the audacity to post.  Doesn't he know the RULES of being a Discordian?)

So Insanity,

Because I'm genuinely curious, and I think this is good information for us to have here, how did you find our little dingy corner of the interweb? 

Were you searching for us or did you accidentally upon us looking for something else? 

Also, also, if you are interested in learning more about Discordia there are all kinds of resources at your fingertips.  The main site, if you didn't notice already, has the "bible" of this whole thing, The Principia Discordia.  It also has The Black Iron Prison which was something a bunch of us threw together a few years ago.

You might also check out the BIP wiki:  www.blackironprison.com 

Be sure to question everything including your own opinions of what you are reading.

Thanks for the "helpful" response but I've already read the PD as well as a few other Discordian and (Subgenii) texts a couple of times.  I found this site through the rants of the Good Reverend Roger.  The rest, as they say, is history/mystory/mystery.

To everyone (or no one):  I am here.  I am insane.  I am Discordian, and I don't care what you think.  Call me what you will but you will not keep me from posting my e-pinions.  I've spent an hour on the forum, sorry for not understanding "how its supposed to work" (oh wait, no I'm not  :evil:) but for some crazy INSANE reason I think our lady will accept me even if you don't.

Remember, kids:  Mental illness is zany and whacky, not crippling and life-wrecking.

Why are you all assuming that I'm pretending to be mentally ill?  I made no such claim.  I merely claimed to be insane.  Until you know how I define "sanity" (and thus "insanity") there's a 105% chances (with a 4% margin of error) that you are misunderstanding me.

No it doesn't get me a lot  of poontang, but it does get me tangspoon which is pretty much the same thing and tastes much better imho.
