....hmmm an entire page of talking about discordian texts....and no one has talked about Alice in Wonderland OR Winnie-the-Pooh.....
I don't think that there has ever been a discordianistic book ever more talked about, studied, or mimicked than Alice in Wonderland. The image of the rabbit hole and the white rabbit in general are known to almost everyone in western culture. And thanks(or hatred) to Disney for exploitating and overmarketing and homogenizing Pooh, hardly anyone has actually read A.A. Milne's classic book and realized that there are some pretty heavy undertones to it. Benjamin Hoff wrote The Tao of Pooh and touched base to the character in reference to Taoist Philosophies, yet i think there could even be more interpreted from it.
So this thread will open a discussion about what you think is going on in either of the two books and see if we can't find some sort of chaos to it's ordered chaos. also, if anyone wants to mention some other places where the white rabbit shows up, please feel free to do so. throughout my life there have been countless...and some of them are kinda freaky.
so yeah....write...and stuff.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
plus it was the march hare that was the mad one and throwing the tea party anyhows (watch ALICE by a crazy czech stopmotion animator...its creepy!)

When people tell you about the good old days at PD, kick them in the nads.
This thread will be perfect for my intermittens
By a weird coincidence I just finished reading Alice in Wonderland to my daughter tonight. Very disappointing. I'm sure that there are dozen of allusions to 1860s England that were hilarious at the time but most of them went straight over my head.
