More of a complaint than a rant; it's about you.

Well fuck my old boots! It seems we really aren't as clever as we might seem to be after all!  :lulz:

Speak for yourself Skippy! I'm a fucking genius.

I just can't figure out why my wife calls me a retard.
That's easy. It's because . . . . .


Can't see the pic...But it's because men are wired completely differently from women, so our behavior seems both alien and retarded.  Also, when we see boobs, our brains drop into our necks.  Or at least mine does.

You know cram being zany and shit is all fun and games until you log on to facebook and have to go clear out 100 + invites to fake events and then spend the rest of the night blocking the people involved. Those assholes? Cabbages. I may be a wanker but you wont be able to convince me that those people are worth my time either as a discordian or anything else.

What you're saying is "I don't find them funny," which is 169% valid. But as soon as you start to say that they're bad discordians because the way they practice Discordia doesn't amuse YOU, you're riding one of those smug high horses which, I hate to tell you, is actually a cow.

Remember that in POEE, the hierarchy is reversed: the more involved you get with Eris, the lower in the hierarchy you sink. For the most part, the Popes of our religion have never even heard of Eris. They are the MOST free of Discordian orthodoxy and dogma. Who am I to tell THE POPE how to relate to his Gawdess? This is one of those traps that Mal and Omar built to sabotage anybody claiming to be a "real" Discordian.

There is no "really real Discordia", and if one emerges, I'm categorically against it.

Except for mine, of course.  Because I am a SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE, and if anyone doesn't like it, I'll spazz out in my pance.  Then you'll be sorry.

I've been hanging out with you knobgobblers for years now, and I still have no idea what a "Discordian" is.

Nephew Twiddleton

Well sure. But from where im sitting its not even a good troll. Its spam. It doesnt even strike me as pinealism. I accepted your invitation to the group because i thought it would be cool and branch out into communicating with discordians outside pd. Im still part of the group and occasionally look at it but i primarily use my fb for band promotion and secondarily for staying in touch with people. I may end up using it more frequently but right now its low on my list of priorities.

And note that in my original post i said some facebook discordians. I made it a point to say some so that it wouldnt be construed as a generalized statement.

I've been doing this shit since the 80s, and I still don't know.  I've been told all manner of brain-damaged & conflicting shit, but the one thing I DO know is that you can never trust anyone who tells you about their religion.  ESPECIALLY the people who start that religion...So Thornely and Hill are RIGHT OUT as sources.

It was a GREAT troll. One of the most successful troll projects I've seen Discordians do. Your degree of annoyance (a year later) is proof.  :p

If anything, it sure amused the hell out of them. They're still chortling over the amount of rage that 100+ event invites produced. They were like, "I'm soooo sorry I messed up your facebook itinerary. Send us the doctor's bill." They LOVED being called "fake discordians" and "cabbages" because they strained some people's clicking fingers. It's the same exact thing as when a really real discordian comes here and tells how real discordians act. They ate it up and asked for more.


for the record, when this shit went down, I was mad as hell. I think I even blogged about it. It took a while before I realized I was acting like a cosmic shmuck.

If you want to be serious,
don't take yourself seriously.
Be open to change,
and bold enough to be the butt of the joke.

When you walk with total certainty, 
your head high 
like a cosmic schmuck,
you are vulnerable to the old banana peel shtick.

When a schmuck slips,
their face becomes red with embarrassment. 
Eris showed them what they did not perceive.
And, be honest, it was funny.

The Good Reverend Roger

Wow!  How can I be as Discordian as them?

I mean, targeting other Discordians with mass-spam as trolling sounds like the absolute height of thinking for yourself.

That being said, you're ALL a bunch of cunts.  Only *I* know the One True Path of Discordianism.  In this, I am like the Buddha.  Which means at least one of you should have killed me by now.  It's "If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha", not "If you meet the Bhudda, let him linger on in frustration for 9 years and then never get around to finishing him off".

Well, in my defense, the guru told me that poisoning your Wheaties through the sigils I was drawing on my cereal boxes would've taken effect by now.

I think I was robbed.

I knew I should've also used that tincture. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Twid, you and I could be better Discordians.

You know, we could make a handful of new FB accounts, go to the FB page, and spam everything we see.

Then we could PM laughter back and forth here, as people react to their threads being swamped.

Then we'd have claim to at least equalling THE BEST TROLLING EVER.

Hey maybe. But it doesnt exactly inspire me to work with them or think very highly of them. For the record- im not still annoyed - i may shake my head when i come across a stray one i didnt get rid of but it doesnt really cause an emotional reaction. It just makes me go "what the... Oh right. Click." my reaction itt thread was more due to your post than the event. Which is fine- i dont mind it if you fuckers get a rise out of me whether its warranted or not. It ends up being funnier that way anyhow and lets me more accurately find out what my buttons are.

Fuck that noise.  We owe it to Glorious Old PD to try to at least equal their endeavors.  Non-stop.  Forever.

And then we can all laugh about it here, should we actually annoy anyone with incessant spamming.

Luckily I don't think trolling people on the Internet has any bearing on whether or not you're a good Discordian. What a relief, right?  I'd hate to think that nigel's hilarious "Add everybody you know to this FB group" FB group, or our goth poetry trolls, or any number of irritating pranks we've pulled over the years, makes us bad Discordians.
