TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Not so much a take on normality as a side-swipe at the Madness Industry.

Well, i read his post completely wrong.

At least you're a biped who can admit to being mistaken. I gotta respect that.

Poop on your shoes is not a calamity, it is an opportunity.  While said poop is fresh, go to another forum and scuff your beshatted feet on the carpet.

Whoa.  Shit just got real.

No... her incoherent screed is just full of random posturing that's totally irrelevant. I have no idea what my level of education, future plans, or her "industry professional" status has to do with my comment or her alleged authority to declare it "wrong".

The Discordian may agree with the Taoist but add, as an aside, that madness is just too much fun to dispense with...


Would he/she?  Do you really think so?  Seriously?

I guess I do. Yes.

But I certainly don't mean madness in the sense of mental illness (I agree that's no laughing matter at all). I mean it in the sense that a Buddhist may call happiness madness with a big grin on his face.

So once a fucking gain it is you ascribing random meanings to words and expecting everyone else to intuit what you mean.

Well, there's no doubt that's an Authentic Holist post alright.

Apparently they also share the same symptoms of an orgasm:

Dull headache
Weakness
Dizziness

Nausea
Vomiting
Shortness of breath
Confusion
Blurred vision

Loss of consciousness

If any of those occurred when I was orgasming I'd see a doctor immediately.

Seriously? None of those? You got shipped a faulty orgasm unit.

Well, this is just from a free online dictionary:

1. The quality or condition of being insane. See Synonyms at insanity.
2. Great folly: It was sheer madness to attempt the drive during a blizzard.
3. Fury; rage.
4. Enthusiasm; excitement.

And I did lead with that story...
