I was unsure if I should put this here or in Sermons & Rants, I don't think it's very ranty so I'll let it stand as a possible contribution to BIP.
Over all it's OK, though it may need some revising, thoughts are most welcome.
Would you like to play a game?
Life is not a game, life is about the playing of games.
'To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of NONSENSE AS SALVATION. Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that is the result of taking order so seriously and so seriously fearing contrary orders and disorder, that GAMES are taken as more important than LIFE; rather than taking LIFE AS THE ART OF PLAYING GAMES.'
-The Principia Discordia
Once a person reaches a state of enlightenment to realize this they can then look back upon all the games they have been playing for their entire lives. Games they have played alone, with friends, with strangers, with authority figures, with whoever happened to be about at the time.
Recognizing that life itself is about playing games and not actually the game itself is a release akin to a spiritual orgasm. But it is not quite a spiritual orgasm.
The spiritual orgasm comes when you finally realize that all the rules to these games you have been playing with your life are not (or at least very rarely) written by the universe (or powers that be if you want there to be powers that be) they are written by people. People who really aren't all that different from you. In fact you are one of those people who makes the rules to the games you play.
'Other kids' games are all such a bore!
They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Calvinball is better by far!
It's never the same! It's always bizarre!
You don't need a team or a referee!
You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!'
-Calvin on Calvinball
Once you realize that you can make rules, break rules, revise rules, and ignore rules as you see fit you are one big step closer to freedom, true honest to Goddess freedom, the kind that doesn't need to be listed on a piece of paper to ensure that some megalomaniacal asshole tries and take it away from you because it's the only way he can get an erection.
So, turn off the computer, or put down whatever it is you are reading this in and go out and play a game. But don't let the rules get in the way of enjoying it.
if i'm not mistaken, this is 100% plager.

plager?
If you mean plagiarized then to my knowledge it is not.
If in fact I towed a line similar to something that has been written before then I would be interested in seeing the original and gladly retract what I had to say if it turns out to be too close to the original for my comfort or if the original says what I was trying to in the above better then I did.
either way, i liked it a lot!

If you did manage to accidently duplicate the original that would prove an odd segment of reality. The typing monkey stuff.
oh, that's absolutely impossible, you know that.

Then go fuck yourself. You accuse someone of plagiarism, you'd better be able to back it up.
You festering shithead. Kill yourself.

Reversal? You were the fucking prick that accused the OP of plagiarism knowing full well you were talking out of your arse.
Eat shit and die.
i'll get right on that.
you realize you're talking to someone who's avatar and name both reference iron sulfide, right?
i don't go trying to cram hippy shit down your throat about being nice to people just cause they breath.

"Breathe".
No, you just lie through your teeth in some bizarre attempt to prey on other Discordians (by trashing their threads, making fucked up accusations with no basis in reality, etc) Why? Apparently you are some form of mental case. Sociopath, most likely.
Please drink Drano, you psychotic fuckstain.
Thanks.
i've run through the grammar nazi schtick too, even when it was only typos and spelling errors.
this reminds me of newborn puppies that don't have the instinct to poop.
you have to wipe their ass with a warm cloth.
it's okay if i'm that cloth.

So you're a professional shitgobbler? This is just your newest mouthful?
Maybe you should trying lying less, though. If you can.
yeah, we're still working out the consistency and dispersion pattern for the corn granules.
IMO, they're faux-natural at best.

That's nice.
Perhaps in the future, though, you will refrain from being a lying whore. Think you can manage that? Or at least you can attempt to be clever or funny with your lies?
Or will you simply continue to attempt to harm peoples' reputations because you think it's "edgy"?
TGRR,
Thinks you'd have been a natural in Bush's DoJ.
i haven't the sticktuitiveness to be a legalizer in bush's regime.
holding onto something that long constipates me. which, you know, is counter-productive to my own work.

Yeah.
Anyway, since you seem to like fucking with other peoples' work, I think I'll just fuck with you nonstop, "Nietze the Poet" (Christ, you have no right to accuse ANYONE of being unoriginal).
How about we google some of that drek on your myspace page and see how much of it is "plager"?
what reputation would incur harm, by the way, that didn't exist on this board?
he could have defended himself. if i had chosen to be completely un-abrasive, i suppose i could have phrased it more to the effect of stealing the spirit, or beating the dead horse.
but that's not nearly as fun.
plus, i can find numerous examples of bold faced liarly in your own actions. (not particularly on THIS board, to be fair.)

So you tried to trash someone's reputation HERE, for "fun", knowing full well that you were lying.
You are a piece of shit.
And feel free to post such "Liarly actions". Go ahead.
Man up, you lying sack of shit.
go for it.
and i have no shame in using that moniker. dredge all you want.
i'm sure there's cross-posting on there, and some rather inane shit.
but not really anything of plagiarized nature.
you wanna be real thorough, check my music page, too.

So what? By your own fucking standard, proof is not necessary, right?
You can just accuse someone of something, because it's "fun" (which puts you right up there with such notables as Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh).
Well, I'm gonna have some fun of my own, until I get bored. That should only take 6 months or so.

Why torture myself? You suck. Besides, you totally ripped off DfB.
(Note that there is no need for me to PROVE that, even to myself. I can just SAY it.)
have a hayday.
my name means next to nothing, anyway. i'm sure as soon as your hate is flowing freely again, you'll find something more worthwhile, anyway.
on a point of honesty, i have no idea who Dfb is.

Nope. You're my new project. And your monikers mean nothing, really... Which is why I am currently datamining your real name (thanks for using myspace, moron!).
After all, if I am going to destroy your reputation on a whim, I should probably do it right.

You wouldn't know honesty if it bit your dick off, asshole.
Okay, I doubt THIS is "plager":
the hip-hop apocalypse
is on my lips and
i'm dipping chips into this salsa
with some false apostles
jostling my fossils
filling the the dig site
with vermiculite and perlite
to make a a potting mixture
in the ditch i hide the picture
of the future's final fixture
the third prophesy of fatima
was obscene, i mean like lima beans
which never seems to work
when you mix it with cheese
and these redundencies
but please: the third vision
is now coming to decision
as the world turns on the finger
that it's flipping for the schism
And even if it was, who the fuck would admit they wrote that garbage?
That drek would make Emily Dickenson cry. "Cheese/Redundancies". Fer Chrissakes. Even Vanilla Ice never fucked a rhyme up THAT badly.
you're going on a golden goose chase.
even if you found my real name, which shouldn't be hard, it'd serve you what?
i've basically got nothing to fuck with. i don't even use my own computer. have fun.
HAHAHA
i was using that on EB&G - check it out. that was a lark.
i actually got the idea for that in mock of Trapped in the Closet, if you wanna qualify that for plagiarism

Oh, of course. The musician is the standard "starving artiste" (the GOOD ones get PAID) that can't afford his own computer, but sees no reason to get a real job.
This may explain why you feel the need to make up lies about people like Pope Tom, that never did anything to you...because you're a bitter little fuck who knows he has no talent, but won't (can't) admit it, even to himself.
Loser.

More than I care to say.
But, then again, I've always hated assholes like Fwesto. The shitbag thinks it's funny to ruin ideas/threads by making deliberately false accusations. He is to PD what a tapeworm is to a human.
He just so happens to think that having his head up his ass is the express train to wackiness.
While I didn't plagiarize the work the ideas in it are certainly re-hashed from stuff that's been done a million times before. But if there is one underlaying theme of PD.com it seems to be that once you get past the chatter there is a desire to 'flesh out' the ideas put forth in the Principia Discordia that are still relevant 50+ years later.

I wonder when certain people will understand that "jaking the jakers" isn't edgy anymore, it's just tired, stale, and self-defeating.
not only that, it's NOT FUNNY.

I'm a douchebag
rather, i have been douchbagging people with my douchebaggery.
what's more: people i'm supposed to be in arms with, not against.
if i believed with Dante had to say, i would be leaving you all to join the
9th circle of hell.
this is why i am a douchebag.
so i apologize to all, tom, Roger, and especially to myself because it's the worst treachery to betray yourself.
if i incur wrath still, i incur wrath. as such, i'm going to spend a few days at least contemplating what has led me to behave in such a manner. call it epiphany, call it chicken shit.
Well, for what its worth, I think you did the right thing in posting this. And while its not my place to accept your apology, I probably would if I had been the one slighted.
It's very difficult to get slighted by someone over the Internet.
Turned on however is a different story.

(not referring to festwo in particular, just the never-stopping yacking of jaker-jakers)
I'm just wondering why he didn't just explain why he though the piece was plager, rather than going all monkey at the ad hominems.

Okay.
Now please to be taking out your earlier behavior on hapless primates that aren't on your side. For example, there are still boards dedicated to Martha Stewart out there. Pat Robertson's crowd is always fun, too:

actually, i'm just going to focus on my finals for the moment.
i've already read elsewhere in the forum of people in need of christian writers.
