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.

Eater of Clowns

I just started The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.  I was given the unbelievably gorgeous The Absolute Sandman Volume I for my birthday a few months ago, but I've been avoiding opening it because when I finish it the next three volumes are like $90 each.

EoC doesn't make creepy.

Rococo Modem Basilisk

I finished Pattern Recognition, and I am nearly finished with The Difference Engine. Both turned out better than expected.


I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

That One Guy

I'm in the middle of Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Fascinating book, so many threads, subtexts, paranoias, characters, etc. that it can be ... interesting to keep track of everything on the first read-through. Good stuff, though.
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.

I started that several times. I should consider getting a dead tree copy.

Telarus

Halfway through Colbert's I'm America, and So Can You.

Idea- wire a fairly loud speaker into a copy (I would try to go slim-line or you'll end up cutting out paper) which you could preload some good expressive Colbertisms, set the book out in public in a strange location or situation, say upright in the middle of the sidewalk. Make it loud enough that someone standing next to it would feel self conscious at the attention.

Play loud Colbertisms whenever someone reaches for the book or picks it up until they put it down again.

The Book of Pleasure - AOS

Let's paraphrase the Tao Te Ching and other eastern texts into the western tradition and the most unintelligible victorian language imaginable and expand 3 or 4 basic ideas into 30 some odd pages.  :argh!:

Science and Sanity by Alfred Korzybski.

It's pretty heavy going. But I think I'm starting to get into it. His writing style really doesn't help his message though.

I had an existential crisis and all I got was this stupid gender.

Rococo Modem Basilisk

I finished The Difference Engine and now I'm working on The Tao of Physics.

Squid, where did you find Science and Sanity? I really want to read it.

Scribbly

I bought it... cost me an arm and a leg too.  :x

There might be a way to get it, though, but I'm not sure about that so if anyone wants a link I'll PM it to them.

I have it i'll send it ask for it via pm's.....I must warn....it's like 900 some page that could probably be condensed down into like 30.
