Can some one please link me to where this misogynistic thing is coming from because that's twice today I've seen it.

Faust, The post in question is still on my facebook page.

However, I think we'd need to be facebook "friends" for someone to view it, that's why some have been suggesting it was removed.  Whether I was being "serious" or satirical, I'll leave it for others to decide.

Probably the best approach would be to just go ahead and ban certain words.  :lulz:

That might be a good way to get everyone on board with a STRICT POLICY OF CONDUCT that will be adhered to and use of such words deemed improper would lead to an immediate ban from this board as well as permanent excommunication from The Discordian Society.

Huh, I figured it was an un-marked photo from one archive or another. If she's never published it before, and Adam has an "original" print, I really don't understand what her complaint is (other than "Adam couldn't telepathically read the psychosomatic imprint I left on the photo in the process of taking it).


(I also find Sondra weird, in a nice/-ish/ way.)

I found it curious when I was poking around tonight on Sondra's Confession to a Conspiracy website that a photo of Greg Hill, which appeared in my book The Prankster and the Conspiracy(courtesy of Bob Newport), is posted there, unattributed.

http://sondralondon.com/tales/confess/11.htm

I would have posted the image but I'll damned if I could figure out how to attach a photo here in the forum. Obviously it's a photo-shopped version of what appears in my book, but a version nonetheless. It doesn't bother me, because it has now become the standard image people use if they want to post an image of Greg Hill, because there are so few out there.

I remember finding someone had posted the same photo image of Greg Hill (from my book) here in the PD forum, as well:

http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php/topic,4920.msg772816.html#msg772816

It was also posted without asking by Uncle BadTouch over at his kerrythornley.com pseudonymous site. You'll find the colorized version there that Jon Swabey posted for me back in the day and which we later pulled down from the net when I decided to change my strategy of how to bring this material to the public.

Of course, I tend not to get my panties in a bunch over stuff like this, especially if people cite the source, which hardly ever happens once the Genie is let out of the bottle on the internets, as images end up taking on a life of their own.

Hey, Adam...I don't have a dog in this fight, but I thought you might want to know that Sondra London is raising 8 kinds of hell about you "stealing her stuff" over on Facebook.

The photo in question was among the tons of Thornley related material that have been passed down to me over the years. Sondra saw it and freaked out claiming she had taken the photo, which I don't doubt, but of course, how would I know.There's no writing on the original photo, which once again I have in my possession. (It was among Ron Bonds/IllumiNet Press Archives passed on to me.) Just the same, I removed the photo from Historia Discordia 'cause I didn't feel like having a pissing match over something so trivial.

As for Sondra's facebook claims, those are ridiculous. I was actually on pretty good terms with her until this recent Erisian episode. Such is the world of Discordia!

We've just launched http://historiadiscordia.com/, a website documenting the origins and history of The Discordian Society.

This includes updates on several book projects in the works culled from Greg Hill's Discordian Archives, along with the many chaotic wonders we'll haphazardly post in the days and weeks to come.

Hail Eris! (You know the drill...)

As for the incorrect attributions of the various Principia editions, that will be fixed accordingly on the website, but can an admin correct it on the original post since I am unable to? Thanks.

See this youtube vid for further clarification on the different editions of the PD.

Hi Everybody! :fnord:

I've been meaning to check back in w/ you fine folks, and was finally reminded to by my current project:



I'm working on interior art now, but am somewhat conflicted b/c I really like the original illustrations, and am trying to persuade the publisher, editor, etc to let me preserve most of them.

The book seems like a classic to me, and I'd rather not fuck it up if I can help it!

You might want to touch base with John Carr. He's Camden's literary executor.

Finished The Prankster and the Conspiracy (and I'm probably the last guy on this forum to do so). Is there something going on between Adam Gorightly and Sondra London that I'm missing? He dedicated practically a whole chapter (albeit at the end) to how she wouldn't return his emails.


I don't exactly remember devoting a whole chapter to Sondra's lack of emails, but nowadays we have good relations. She and I chat on facebook now and then. Interesting lady and my view of her has changed drastically since I penned the Prankster.

Holeeeeeeey FUCK. Nail his nads to the wall.

I wonder how many others don't know they're in this thing? How the fuck did Uncle BadTouch get Crumb...or ANYBODY who's not a brain-liquified Squeaky Fromme?

Doubt it's really them... the RAW quote certainly doesn't sound like RAW to me.

Gonna send this to Stang, see how he feels about things.

Crumb might or might not pay attention to a mail, but Aline is more outgoing. I'll see if she's on facebook or something.

ETA: http://www.crumbproducts.com/contact.html#13

Now...how to best word this...


I would also be curious to know what I contributed to Uncle BadTouch's book....if anyone actually has a copy!

Heyyy, that's cool that there's still an intact 1st edition! Rock on!

Cake, I'm working on getting all this material out there, it's just a long process....One of the most interesting finds are the actual pasteup pages that Greg Hill constructed for the 4th ed PD. This will be a book project and ultimately we'd like to have these on display, but that part of it is an expensive proposition, displaying the materials, and also preserving them...as these projects emerge I will post updates here.

No worries, Adam. Consider it denounced as a pale imitation of the real thing. :)

Thanks, again, Syn!
