[Cthulhu Slippers]

Cthulhu Slippers- After the end times the protagonists work for a corporation run by the starspawn of Cthulhu

It provoked me to envision the following scenario:

H. P. Lovecraft and Scott Adams walk into a bar. Experiencing a cessation of the space-time continuum for a few seconds, after kicking back multitudinous boilermakers, they achieve enlightenment™. Everything returns to normal; they sit down on their barstools and co-create Cthulhu Conscripts Dilbert. Their publisher doesn't like the title and unilaterally changes it to Cthulhu Slippers. Having already drunk up their advance, Lovecraft and Scott resentfully accept the redaction.     

Anyone who has read and enjoyed Catch-22 may enjoy reading it's mid-nineteenth century predecessor, Herman Melville's White-Jacket; or, The World in a Man-of-War (1850).

You can download it for free from several internet sites, including this one: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10712

I'm unaware of anyone else having made a comparison between the two novels. But, I doubt many people have read anything of Melville's other than Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851).

Anyway, for those of you familiar with the many absurdities of military life, you may, or may not, be surprised to learn that things haven't changed much since Melville's day.

Other Good Comics:

Scenes From A Multiverse - A satirical science-fiction fantasy comic.

The Donald Trump and The Search For Hitler's Brain series is interesting.

Thanks for the link.

4chan community is going well. Thread has been up for a few days and there's already a few people memebombing. It's cute.

Link?

I[...]found that it reflected my philosophy of life quite well.

It's a trap.

Hello

You may call me ERINN. The ERIN is my name and the N is a honorific which stands for nothing.

I am very very new. I came upon the Principia Discordia approximately 10 minutes ago and found that it reflected my philosophy of life quite well. Then I found these forums, and you all seemed like decent people worthy of wasting my time on. Since I already have too many things to do, I thought I'd add this.

Hi there, newer guy!

I haven't been checking the introductions, so I'll just address this generally:

FUCK OFF.

Thanks for the greetings, Discordians,

I now see how your post numbering system works, and have taken the time to plow trough this entire thread. It appears that a lot of new people introduce themselves, make a few posts, and are never heard from again. What's with that? Sockpuppets? Fear? What?

We eat them.

Thanks, I didn't know you were humanitarians.

Far out, man. Reminds me of Robert Plant doing "Stairway to Heaven".

Sorry about that.

Anyway, greetings and felicitations, once again, Discordians,

As I was starting to say, I'm just another spiritual thrillseeker, idly poking roadkill with a stick around the Fifth Traffic Circle of the Road to Enlightenment.

Early in my journey, I revered the Dark Gods of Internal Combustion. But, those new, drunken hordes of lemming-like, NASCAR roundy-rounders ruined it for me. 

Foster may still love me, but he don't call, he don't write, he don't drop by. Nothin'. So, this lonesome boy has changed his cotton-pickin' mind and is long gone down the road, as far as the Fifth Traffic Circle.

I admit, I did contemplate applying for membership in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. But hey, it's bad enough the satellite dish crashes the TV during lightning storms. I'm carrying way too much karmic debt to risk sitting around with a metal colander on my head, just daring the Fates to garnish it all in one fell bolt.

The Church of the SubGenius did catch my attention, but those rip-offs want $ 35.00 (plus postage) for "Salvation/Membership/Ordainment". Hell, I got my original ordination 'n for nothing, and only paid like $ 10.00 more for both my Ph.D. Metaphysics and my Sainthood Certificate!

And, of course, who hasn't been attracted to Satanism at one time or another? But let's be honest, Satanism is derivative (Or is it antiderivative? I can never get them straight.) at best, not that there's anything wrong with it, and hopelessly bourgeoisie in the twenty-first century. 

The Church of the Latter-day Dude caught my short little span of attention for, uhh ... a short little span. But, it dawned on me that they'd expect me to watch The Big Lebowski for the first time, which I steadfastly refuse to do. That movie was just a ginormous marketing campaign attempting to ride in on the coattails of the Monica Lewinsky Scandal. And, I don't care that the ginormous marketing campaign actually worked! As far as I'm concerned, that movie can keep on truckin'.

So, by the process of elimination ...

May the fnord be with you,

Gray Area

My greetings and felicitations, Discordians,

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Gray Area of the, uhh ... Gray Area. I'm just another spiritual thrillseeker, idly poking roadkill with a stick around  – Oh look, something shiny!
