News:

That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

I've started investing in stocks.
Mostly beef and chicken right now.
I'm hoping someday to be a bouillonaire.

Or Kill Me / Am I Still a Discordian?
July 05, 2019, 02:47:12 PM
By now, some know who I am, some don't. For those of you who do, thanks for not giving me the boot!  (Yet)

In the past 6 years or so of exile, I have kept up with the whole Discordian thing.  I read the Principia from time to time, I continue to exist as some incarnation of RWHN on the Twitters (and other corners), but mainly, there' the ole space between the ears...

What instantly drew me to Discordia when I first read the PD, what solidified it, was The Golden Secret https://principiadiscordia.com/book/81.php

As an atheist, as a man of science, as a person who is able to think for himself and marvel at all of the needless, complicated bullshit created by humanity, it was one of those "yeah, preach it!" moments when I read that bit.  And that bit is strong, solid philosophy.  Joining this community for the 8 or so years I was here, was also a revelation, to commune with likewise thinking spags, especially since we all thought so differently!  And so it has been interesting on the other side of being away from this community.

So Am I Still a Discordian?  Undoubtedly Yes.  Because it's a switch you can't turn off, once switched on.  You can't unsee and unthink...and now in 2019, The Curse of Greyface seems to be particularly strong, as an avatar for Greyface occupies the White House.  And the throngs of the unthinking devotees slavishly clinging on to his every nonsensical, uneducated utterance.  And the kicker is that the morons on the Left don't seem to hate him enough, while they obsess over making sure the most "woke" candidate faces him in 2020, when, Jesus, the fucking DNC Office Manager would be an improvement over Drumpf!  Ah, but I digress...what am I talking about here...oh right, Am I Still Discordian?

Yes, but does it matter?  Probably not.  Everything is uber-fucked right now.  Probably the most coherent, spot-on thing Trump has ever uttered was when he said back in 2016 that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He knew he was right.  And I think then, it was under-appreciated how prophetic that statement would be to where we are now. 

So, I guess now, my Discordianism is more about self-preservation than trying to address The Machine and The System. 
I just want to make it out alive with a smile on my face!

Modest Proposal: Drugs are a tool of The Machine, and ergo, Rich White Guys in Suits(tm), to scam money from the poor.

Convince me that I'm wrong.

Or Kill Me / The Pursuit - Entry 1 - The Introduction
August 22, 2018, 02:35:06 PM
The pursuit of happiness, for the longest time we were sold the white-picket fence American package.  The perks were cool haircuts and two and half cars in every garage.  Over time, we realized this was more or less a sham.  It was the carrot at the end of the stick and we are Bugs Bunny running to nowhere on a treadmill. 

Now, the kids crave internet infamy.  To be the Ultimate Youtuber with likes and subscribes and mindless minions gripping onto every inane syllable.  They don't want to be tucked away in suburbia...but this dream too, is sold by the same hucksters who sold us The Cleavers and the Huxtables.

Because...the more we are gazing at holograms the less we are gazing at the workings and machinery behind these hollow vesper facades.  Because then we might figure out how to mess with it...to swap out gears...to douse it with ALL of the lube...

It's time for some redirection...
