I hold you personally responsible for this.

Is it worse to go on a shooting spree while stoned, drunk, or sober?

It's all about intent. I don't take shooting sprees to get around town. but if you do, carpool! it saves bullets.

Actually, I think its one of those diagrams of intergalactic superstructure of the universe, which looks much like a webwork in a 3-D perspective.

Conspiracy, itt.

No, seriously, hit it again.

Cram's analysis is correct.

This is Portland, Oregon's ambassador to the world, btw.

Yarbles, or Chuck?

THAT WASNT A HAIKU

but i'm not putting money on it yet

Playing the devil's advocate:
As great as all this sounds, what will it really accomplish?  We can troll boards, post a couple of memes here and there, but how far does that actually go?  We manage to piss off a few mods and the rest is written off as a load of nonsense.  How many people actually figure out what's going on and show up here, or atleast get an idea of whats going on?

Err, oh, ah...

Ummm... well thanks for the kudos everyone. Please do as LMNO did though and critique it. I want to further develop this into a full pamphlet/series of posts/thingamajig, so this is just a first pass of the forward.

The text (at least as I currently have it outlined)

1. Discuss theory of pattern recognition.
1b. Discuss problems with human pattern recognition.
1c. Discuss how 23 and the Law of Fives illustrate this point (and apply it further)
1d. Encourage the creation of new pattern recognition tricks.

2. Discuss the theory of memes
2b. Discuss memes within the PD.
2c. Discuss why memes are useful in some instances and not useful in others (Fnording a target, as opposed to fnording a bunch of Discordians)

3. Discuss the theory of perception modification applying the above two concepts.
3b. Discuss practical ways to attempt this stuff.

4. Introduce the n00b to our cabal and its methods, hierarchy and the areas that n00bs can help out (See my earlier posts).

5. Some sort of bizarre Discordian ending.

So the goal of this document would be to entertain the n00bs and provide them with a sense of connecting beyond the initial trappings of Discordia. At the same time, I'd like to sprinkle in a few new memes (ones that we tend to use)... it seems to me that we all use memes, just as any n00b does. In fact, I would argue that memes like Fnord, Flax, 5, 23 etc are tribal memes for Discordians. Here at PD.com (a sub-tribe) we have more memes and thus our fnords are intermixed with the Con, the BiP etc.

If we provide the n00b with some of our memes (and strong encouragement to read the BiP etc), then perhaps we can dilute the older tribal memes slightly with some new ones.

Section four would require some sort of options for the n00b. Maybe something in the way of a Pineal Personality Test? 

6.Profit!

Major win there, Cain.  I agree alot with what vexation said, in that Discordians tend to avoid establishment, and typically try to hold tight to their individuality so much so that alliances are hard to hold within the community.  Again, the sparring idea is good, as opposed to ripping each other to shreds.  It'd be great if we could eventually get something accomplished, so this seems the right path there.
