A Question

[hooplala]

I'm looking for some opinions here . . . I plan to publish my collection of Discordian writings myself through www.lulu.com, but am concerned about people buying copies.

Obviously I didn't write my entire book, I have stuff from a lot of people on this site, and a couple of others.

How does that work?  I wouldn't even know how to begin doling out money to all the people who contributed . . . so is it unethical for me to place the buying price at EXACTLY the cost it is for me to print the book?

That way I'm not really making money on the book, I'm just sort of the dealer.

Does anyone NOT think this is kosher?

I think you should pay yourself a profit for the work of compiling the whole thing.

TAKE IT ALL, MOFO!

RUN!

RUN!

If you make a zillion dollars and become an international celebrity, you can either use your influence to get me a deal of my own or give me a job on your yacht.

either way, I'll call it square.

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Give me ten bucks.

Is my guide to discordians in there?

If not, then you're going to burn in the hell that is anal sex without lube.

Of course, you may like it.  But, one of my neighbor's owes me a favor and his dick is roughly the width of a baseball bat and at least a foot long (I saw it in the locker room...it's almost scary).



Ohh, and if you did then, ehh, if it's mostly your writting then I'd have no problem with you taking a small profit out of it.  But not too big, mind you, or the above still applies.

Hehehehehehe

If your book gets made into a major Hollywood flick and you get an Oscar, Golden Globe, or Razzie, just make sure you acknowledge us all in your acceptance speech.  And just a hint, I would like my part to be played by Christopher Lee.

Most Discordian work is Public Domain ("Kopyleft"). If there's a circle-k, the author has no say, gets no pay.

The rest: avoid. The last thing we need is to ask permission to fuck around.

All my work is Public Domain, so rip me off.

Hmm, not so far - what's the link?

[LMNO]

If you feel like a person needs credit, have a list of contributers in the back.

Don't forget to make up a few, while you're at it.

[Cain]

Thats a really good idea.  And be sure to name people who would never have been involved, like Donald Rumsfeld, and General Boykin (use Google).

[LMNO]

Oh, yeah.

[hooplala]

Heheh - very good ideas.

I had been thinking of including an index of references never made, and a glossery of terms never used.  That would go perfectly.

Maybe also a table of completely different contents?

Enrico demands that all profits be placed in an off-shore bank account.

It's ok Cain sent me the link.  It's going in for sure.
