| The Holey Orders of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild and its Discordian Division |
Like many Religious Institutions/Secret Societies intent on Saving the
World/World Domination, The Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild and its
Discordian Division have instituted Orders, also known as Disorders.
Membership in most of these is highly exclusive, and should not be
taken lightly. Unless you’re actually admitted to one of the Orders, in
which case you should behave as if it’s no big deal, no bigger than,
say, winning a blue ribbon at the county fair, or bringing home a
Pulitzer Prize, or saving the world from an infestation of space alien
mutant cabbages.
Members of an order are permitted to put its initials after their
Member/Holy Name. For example, Alien, a member of both the
Presidential Order and Order of the Pineapple, could sign an official
document as Alien, P.O., O.P. Or, alternately, Alien P.O.O.P.
Without further ado, here are the Orders of the ECG, and the Holy
Orders of the D & D of the ECG (we’ll provide links to more cool info on
each of these as soon as we can get them up, or when we feel like it.)

Without further ado, here are the Orders of the ECG, and the Holy
Orders of the D & D of the ECG (we’ll provide links to more cool info on
each of these as soon as we can get them up, or when we feel like it.)
The Unknown Order (U. O.): Sometimes called the “Wearing a Bag
Over Your Head” Order. Recognizes those who did something highly
significant while wearing a bag over their head (eye, nose and mouth
holes are permitted but not required). The two original members were
written about for their unknown activities in a magazine article that
we're still looking for (they ran in different years for Homecoming
Queen and Homecoming King, each with a bag over the head--yes,
this is true). The only known Order inspired by The Unknown Comic.
Formed retroactively for A. D. 1981 (3147 POEE), actually predating
the ECG by a couple of weeks or so.
The Order of the Pineapple (O. P.): Awarded only on Pat Pineapple
Day (see Holydays), which is A. D. 18 January (18 Chaos POEE) of
each year. Recognizes members who have made an exceptional
contribution in promotion of eccentricities. The Principal of the Order
is Pat Pineapple, who is also the Mascot of the ECG, and also Patron
Saint of the D & D of the ECG (Pat gets around). Began on 18
January in we think 1982 (that’s 18 Chaos 3148).
The Presidential Order (P. O.): Reserved for anyone who’s ever
been president of anything. Tradition even allows making something
up. When a group of ek-sen-trik friends realized they were all
president of something except for Cliffo (later to be known as Cliffo,
Master of the Dark), they declared Cliffo to be President of Stereo
Knobs. Begun in about A. D. 1983 (3149 POEE).
Over Your Head” Order. Recognizes those who did something highly
significant while wearing a bag over their head (eye, nose and mouth
holes are permitted but not required). The two original members were

The SubOrders of Saints (S. O. S.): Reserved for all human beings
and fictional characters deserving of sainthood. The D & D of the
ECG SubOrders are specifically for those Saints recognized and/or
canonized by the D & D of the ECG. From the original classification of
Saints in Principia Discordia, so we don’t know how old it is.
The Order of the Holy Chao Belly Rubbers (H. C. B. R.) (known
alternately as The Order of the Sacred Chao Belly Rubbers, and
sometimes known simply as The Order of Rubbers): Restricted to
those whom Saint The Mary, the order's Divinely Revered Object of
Obscene Lust (D.R.O.O.L.), has allowed to rub the Sacred/Holy Chao
Belly, which features the Sacred Chao of the Discordians, with Killifish.
Order formed in A. D. 2004 (3170 POEE).
