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.

I'm sad.  :cry:
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

Quote from: agent compassionAndre Norton was a chick?

:shock:

Yes, she was.  Just like CJ Cheryh is.  No one thought she would sell under her real name, so the publishers forced her to have a pen name and it sold.  Same thing with Cheryh.

Funny. I never really thought about Andre being a man's name. I always
just associated it with her.

Quote from: LocusAlice May Norton was born February 17, 1912 in Cleveland, Ohio. Norton began her professional career as a children's writer, doing books "for boys," and adopted the male pseudonym Andre. In 1934 she legally changed her named to Andre Alice Norton.

The gnome is unhappy that he made the Oracle of Doom sad. He may
go sit in the corner.

To die peacefully in your sleep at 93 after a long and fruitful life. May
we all be so blessed.

The gnome will not go sit in the corner. He will have a cookie in honor
of Alice at the earliest opportunity.
