Subgenii and Discordians

Subgenii and Discordians must unite!!!!

Connie is an avatar of Discordia.

Look at the Holy Name J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
J.R.: Two letters -- Bob: Three letters = 2+3=5, 2 and 3...23.
Dobbs: Five Letters

The sacred Five of Discordianism repeated twice. And 23 is also
included.

Gruad Greyface was the first Pinkboy. Unmistakeable.

When the Discordians and the Subgenii acknowledge that THEY ARE ON THE
SAME SIDE and stand together...THE CONSPIRACY WILL FALL. ONCE AND FOR
ALL.

If this shall happen, Slack shall pour from the heavens like sweet dew,
and the Pink shall be the eaters of dung in that glorious day of Be With
Us.

Accept the truth! Let Delumination reign!

We are One Nation Under A Groove, canyoudiggit?

Praise Bob
Hail Eris
All Hail Discordia

If we did, both sides would still have to say we didn't.

No, Hell Kitty. On that day, the Con would MOW US ALL DOWN. Why do you
think the Discordians "spun off" from Dobbs in the first place?

Back in the late 60s Dobbs said something to the effect that he never
would have released the SubGenius Church virus in the first place had he
not known the Discordians would always be there to derail it if it ever
got totally corrupt.

Well, Discordians? It's totally corrupt now. We're waiting.

Er, yeah, but...

Both of them don't even stand together on the same side that they're
already on. They CAN'T. Them's the RULES. To paraphrase St. Janor:

You can't be DIFFERENT TOGETHER.
How ya gonna be DIFFERENT TOGETHER?
If your together, how are you gonna be DIFFERENT?
And if you're different, how are you gonna be TOGETHER?
You can't be DIFFERENT TOGETHER, HEEE-yuh help me somebody, my legs are on
fire, praise Dobbs.

This is my handle, touch it and you'd better mean business.

well, i think the problem is that "Bob" didn't realize that we
Discordians would be too stoned to care or even notice that the
SubGenius church got corrupted. and those who do notice are
all SubGs and Discordians at the same time, and while i've really
got nothing better to do than trying to destroy myself, i'd rather
play a good game of Sink.

Nenslo says: Sure, that's great. For the DISCORDIANS. They don't mind
being around people who are superior to them in every way. They spend
their whole lives like that. Unfortunately, the average SubGenius spends
FAR TOO MUCH time in the company of dorky geeks who think they can be
funny by saying fnord or O.J. or Oklahoma.

Oh, hell, I'm sorry. I blew it again, MODEMAC.

What I meant to say was YEAH, THAT'LL BE GREAT! I don't spend

From: ljduchez@en.com (Lou Duchez)

Yeah, I'm still not quite sure about the mechanism here. A person
starts off questing after weirdness, but they stop when they've found
something that only about 73% of people aren't familiar with (Monty
Python, "The Doors", fnord-this and fnord-that). You'd think that
they'd keep pushing the boundaries, getting a certain thrill from
discovering exactly what extremes of thought they can subject
themselves to.

I don't know, maybe it's just a stupid "superiority" trip, and
"superiority" is no good if there's no one else who believes in it.
So they stop short of pushing into unknown territory. But that's a
little more pessimistic than I'd like to believe. Which bites, since
I think I hit the nail on the head.

Consider it DONE. Also consider that a pack of screaming Anarchist

more effective/dangerous than two, but by Eris's Piercings, it'd be a
hell of a party.

And that party is BURNING MAN FESTIVAL '95. Coming to a barren western

Actually, that would work out just fine. You see, the newly corrupt SubGs
would probably trip over us as we lie stoned in their doorways, thus causing
them to forget the key component of their evil plan that they just thought
of.

Either that or they'd find out that they were $1.47 short of taking over the
World after they tossed us a couple of bucks to get us off their backs when
we begged them for spare change. Of course when they'd try to find us to get
the money back we'd already have disappeared to buy more drugs in order to
unconsciously thwart their future plans.

to do something about this rather than just *whining* about it and
demonizing another religion (not unlike That Other Name Brand Religion,
Christianity which *just loves* to demonize anyone who does not follow
their particular religous doctrine to the letter) he might suggest an
electronic jake to all the people in government involved in an attempted

Um, hey! I read it ONCE. I don't have the time to go around _consulting_

about what that stupid BOOK has to tell me to do and how to act? Next
you're gonna tell me to go consult the Bau^h^hible, watch more TV and vote

certainly wouldn't agree with it and I'm not going to explain it to you)
Books are only as reliable as people are. I'm just not sold on this
"divine inspiration" bullshit. Nobody's right and nobody's book is
neither!

This is not to say I'm not entertained by books, however. I just have
to laugh when I hear this "Consult your [insert title here]" bullshit.
If someone's being stupid, let em be stupid. They might just be less
stupid than you once you've opened your big mouth.

And furthermore, you misspelled "or". Hope this helps.

Oh, we're supposed to be pious, bossy and conform to set attitude standards
now, are we? When did THIS happen? I never got the memo!

This sounds like the action of a seasoned super-cool non geeky net bigwig.

Maybe he knew he could count on you to whine, bitch and cry until someone
politely requested your mailsite engineer to pull your account for net
abuse. Better you than him. If you want to create real havoc, don't
tell the whole world just before you try.

It's time to go read a book now.

Err... I'm not sure that our relations can get any more disrupted. I
mean... we ARE Discordians (except of course for all those of us who are
government plants <and I'll be convinced the government is threatened by
us the MINUTE we do something frightening... or next thursday, whichever
comes first>) after all, and they ARE Subgenii, and we DID get listed as
part of the COnspiracy in their stupid book (which is actually quite good
and amusing and RIGHT ON THE FUCKING MONEY about a lot of things...
probably a better read than the Principia, to be honest) so I say FUCK
'EM. Let them fend for themselves if they're so goddamned tough. If
they can't cut the parsley, then they get their cult shut down... it's

AH, I see. To be a true Discordian, you must OWN the principia. Ov
COURSE. It's all down to material posessions. (for the record, my
principia isn't owned by anyone. It's renting a corner of my closet,
with option to buy.) I happen to think Government Infiltrators are about
as DIscordian as you can get.

Is there a difference? Trout.

Methinks the SG's have done a fine job of demonizing themSELVES... almost
as good a job as the DIscordians have.

Wow... this whole post reminds me of Alt.punk.

On Thu. May 25, 1995, winterm@tmewarp.atl.ga.us told All:

wagu> Now why do slack when you can do Discord? What are the benifits?

The energy you expend. Discord is a perfectly fine goal for a SubG.
With Slack, you can achieve discord, or most any goal, with little to no
effort. Slack bends the luck plane so that reality slides into place
without direct effort; Slack makes reality WANT to be that way.
Although they're compatible at some levels, at the primary level, the
intent of the faith, they are not. A Discordian can get some Slack and use
it to create Discord, but it's hard won and not very effectual. A SubG can
(and does) spread some discord, but mostly as a by product -- they have a
common goal which is primary, and that is preparing for the arrival of
the X-ist saucers. Too much discord (non-purposeful earning the small 'd')
and they don't get the job done. The SubG requires discord, as a means of
poking things to watch them slide around the luck plane to see if they
fall into place, indicating sufficient Slack for the job at hand. As an
avocation though, it'd run contrary to their purpose.

I suppose, then, that Dobbs would be infinitely pleased to know that the two
have always seemed completely harmonius to me. Discordianism on the whole is
alot like a political movement that claims to be a religion and the Subs tend
to be a religion that claim to be part of a political movement. It seems like
the perfect marriage. Of course, for appearance's sake, I suppose it's best
to ignore their common goals and get busy destroying each other from within.
Hey, maybe if enough Subgenii secretly infiltrated the ELF & Company and
enough Discordians covertly took over the Church, then we could just switch
for awhile!
