Please don't until I fix a typo I just noticed.... arrrgh.
this should go on 23ae
I love it, and want to use it as a rebuttal against everything everywhere. Forever.
At first I was :kingmeh:
But then I was all :lulz: :lulz: :lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

When I joined, it was only $20 to get right with "Bob".
Does this change the equation?

So, how much of that is mine?
Also, once I've been redeemed, can I ever regain my spark of Discord, Vex?

Well, it IS pretty elaborate for a revenge thread, I have to admit. :lulz:
This isn't a revenge thread, Roger. It's separate from that bollocks.
And you seem to have misread. Your share would be $20. Whatever amount you paid, ERC gets $10 plus $5 S&H. This automatically restores your Spark of Discord. I didn't invent the doctrine, it was revealed to me in a dream by Eris!
Coyote told me that Eris was stoned that night.

Oh, silly me. I thought you stating that I wasn't a discordian THERE for being a Subgenius and you stating HERE that I can't be a Discordian for being a Subgenius were somehow related.
I can be so goofy, sometimes.

I see what you're saying, but seriously they're unrelated.
You're free to believe what you want, but you won't be
right until the ERC pays you back your Subgenius membership fee.
Well, I guess I'm not a REALLY REAL Discordian, then.
But you can be, for the LOW, LOW PRICE of just $30 plus $5 shipping and handling. And it isn't buying your way into salvation, it's demonstrating monetarily your commitment to the salvation of others!
Actually I'm pretty sure the ERC does not accept membership directly from unsalvaged Subgenii; you have to find somebody to pay their dues as your sponsor, and after you receive your ERC check, you can then pay your dues and be a member. By-laws. Have to stay on the right side of the IRS, etc.

I think I'll just be a fake Discordian, then. Less paperwork & rules.
Carry on.

You, as a single anonymous point of frustration on the Internet, regardless of who or what you may be to the people in your life online or off, have no standing to start calling names and pretending to be better than anybody, aside from the Subgenius in you, who, by my admittedly flawed calculation, is about $30 too dumb to have a valid opinion.
So, basically, if you've ever spent a few bucks on a packet full of jokes, you can't be a REAL Discordian. From the OP in THIS thread, I gather that Catholics, Jews, and most protestants aren't allowed in, either, unless someone bails them out.
So I'm going to be a fake one. I hope my activities don't get poomp all over this nice, shiny new Discordianism.

Maybe. Or maybe he's decided for us all who has the "spark of discord", and who doesn't. And you can't be a REAL Discordian again until someone "bails you out."
His words.
That's right, I am the only real purveyor of REAL DISCORDIANISM. But that's OK! I'm not selling it, it's FREE! All you have to do is make a small monetary gesture of your intention to become a Real Discordian™.
Folks, right now is not the time to be wishy-washy! It's a cruel, unpredictable world out there, and you're going to need reliable sanctuary when the ground starts shaking and society starts crumbling! The ERC is that sanctuary! Our beds are warm, our pews are padded, and there's always something danceable playing on the PA! And what's more is there's no catch! Just a bunch of free love, free pizza, free drinks, and free Salvation from the forces of greed and strife!
All you have to do is sign up and send in $30 plus $5 S&H, to show your commitment to the cause. We are an inclusive religion, and to show just how inclusive we are, we ask that our members contribute the cost of saving a lost soul. And, because we have a direct line to Megatruth, we know exactly how much a lost soul is worth!

I'd just like to point out that it does seem like a revenge thread to me. This is the 3rd time in the past couple of days that Vex has made some sort of post or thread about Subgenii paying $30.
Vex, I think you should let the matter go and stop dumping on Subgenii and pretending to purvey really real Discordianism. Didn't really have a problem with you before but this is starting it irritate me.

Neither did I, until today.
I was a Subgenius before I was a Discordian. It seems that many of the people I really respect here (yourself included) think that Vex is really onto something here. Since I seem to lack the "spark of Discord" due to being a Subgenius, and I've been a Subgenius the entire time I've been writing, that tells me that everything I've written as a Discordian isn't worth a shit, and I'm really sorry I wasted my time and yours.
But Cram is right. This needs to go on 23AE, so PD doesn't wind up attracting the wrong sort of Discordian...IE, the ones that aren't real.

You should hear me talk more often. I'm always making fun of the Sugbenii for giving up real money for membership. It's hardly anything new with me.

This wouldn't be a question if I'd posted it a week ago or a month ago, but now, because I happen to have had an argument with a Subgenius suddenly everything I do is intended to rub dirt in the guy's eye. Like I said, it's only Roger. I'll probably never get along with him and I'm done trying to explain myself every time I turn around. I'll post what I feel like posting and you can believe what you want to about it. [/srsbsns]
Hey, Vex, can I get the couple thousand bucks the Catholics weaseled out of me? I wanna be a REALLY REAL DISCORDIAN, so since I paid WAY more than $30 over the years, I need a refund too, right? Can you help me draft a letter to the Vatican asking about that?

I didn't think Vex was on to anything other than trying to make a joke. As a Subgenius myself, I find it difficult to think that it would make me (or you) not Discordian. Especially since Dobbs is the bastard child of Eris and Emperor Norton. Also, I have to deal with Rev Stang on a semi-regular basis... that alone convinces me that SubG's are all Discordian.
I guess the reason I commented was that I didn't understand your response. It's like someone pokes you with a stick and you respond by grabbing the stick and impaling yourself with it. So what if vex said something about you being a SubGenius? What the hell does that have to do with anything? Hell, you call me names when we're needling each other.. You called Vex a sociopath yesterday. Is it really worth getting riled over? Is it really an indictment of everything you've ever written?
Cause to me it seemed like a little needling and a joke... perhaps poorly executed.
But, "To each their own" said the old lady as she kissed the cow. If you want to run with it, run with it. I'll shut up.

again: not a "revenge thread." not based on anything. not intended to fuck with anybody. seriously, yes i would be
absolutely serious about calling the Subgenii out for their membership fees
by requiring a membership fee myself. i might be dumb but even i can detect the intentional irony there.
Well, ECH is right, this has gone on long enough.
Good luck with purifying the board, Vex.

Why? It's only Roger. You should find a real person to make out with.
But the crowd seems to be with you. Work it while you have it.
I'm not trying to please or control any crowds. I just posted a stupid ironic blurb about a fake church I made up. You're starting to remind me of myself.
