| Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild Snooze Letter March 2007 discordia.loveshade.org Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild Snooze Letter March 2007 The "Isn't That Amazing?" Issue discordia.loveshade.org This being the Isn't that Amazing Issue, in which a couple of our members propose a holyday to a couple of churches, author Adam Gorightly has a request, our Episkopos gets interviewed, a Discordian is discovered at the top of Wikipedia, and a Major Discovery is foreshadowed. AMAZING BOOKS AND ADAM GORIGHTLY At the suggestion of author Adam Gorightly, we'll be adding a section to the discordia.loveshade.org site featuring some fascinating and enlightening books. We definitely plan to include Gorightly's tome The Prankster and the Conspiracy, The Story of Kerry Thornley and How He Met Oswald and Inspired the Counterculture, which has a forward by Robert Anton Wilson. For those who've been living isolated in a cave for 50 years, Kerry Thornley was one of the creators of Discordianism, and was investigated in regard to the assassination of U. S. President John F. Kennedy. We plan to add a section of books we recommend to our site, not as a favor to Gorightly, who is one of our favorite "crackpot historians" (we mean that in a good way), but as a favor to our readers. The Prankster and the Conspiracy is an excellent book, one of the best sources for anyone who wants to know more about the roots of Discordianism. Quite amazing: Principia Discordia is now available in hardback with a really cool cover! Finally there's an edition you can use as a weapon! Look for it at amazon.com or amazon.ca! THE INTERVIEW Reverend Loveshade is being interviewed! It's being conducted by Rev St Pope Ol Boy Floats KSC who's asking questions of "some of the most prominent individuals in the field." We aren't sure which field--corn? In any case, Floats plans to compile them in a book, which people can read in order to be enlightened. Or entertained. Or maybe just to have something to look at when they're using the toilet. We'll give you more info when we get it. DISCORDIANS FOR JESUS/LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR DAY Discordians for Jesus will be officially founded on Sunday, 25 March 2007. It actually began in either August or November of last year, when we had our Summit Meeting to Determine World Rulership. Nixie Nurita and Sister Lorraine of Fairy Tree created it as a disorganization with no rules, other than you should admire or even follow Jesus of Nazareth and Discordia. Anyone can join--if you want to be a member, you are a member. And you can give yourself whatever office you want, too. Surprisingly, the preteens have actually talked to officials in their respective churches about recognizing Discordians for Jesus/Love Your Neighbor Day! Although we suspect they only mentioned the "Love your Neighbor Day" part. Question for the masses: What relationship does March 25 have to one of the most major holidays of the Christian Church? You're allowed to use a calculator.... WIKIPEDIA WARS: DISCORDIAN WORKS STILL CONTROVERSIAL The second effort to delete the article Discordian Works from the Wikipedia failed, and there was an informal request for mediation, as we mentioned in the last Snooze Letter. But that's not the end of the story. It has now gone to the Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) with a request for them to make a ruling. Note that this is the highest group in all of Wikipedia, under Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales emself. As of right now, it appears that ArbCom may not accept it for arbitration, which means it may be decided in a lower court. All this for us Discordians? But a nice thing is that one of the 13 active members of ArbCom, Jpgordon, posted "Hail Eris" and wrote to Reverend Loveshade, "I fnord for a living." So Discordians can reach the upper tiers of an online bureaucracy? Eris is up to those old dirty tricks. You can see the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian_Works and the deletion discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Discordian_Works_%282nd_nomination%29. The mediation discussion is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-02-10_Discordian_Works, and the ArbCom bit is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration we think, although we didn't find it last time we looked. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUIT DAY A Happy Birthday Suit Day to Princess Unicornia! The Princess has worked on several significant contributions to our on-going work Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht; is the book's Minister of Degenerate Art with Reverend Loveshade; and has a bottom we just can't resist spanking. Swat! You can email b-day greetings to xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx (email address removed). AMAZING DISCOVERY AND NEWD MEMBER Shamlicht Kids Club co-founder Sister Hooter and the sister's assistant, Pope Hilde, have made an amazing discovery: they have unearthed records that may show the identity of the blind Discordian oracle in "Five Blind Men and an Elephant," a major Discordian prophet-philosopher whose records have been missing for centuries! We can't reveal the details yet, but we anxiously await the report of the two staff members of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception School for Unwed Mothers. DECISION ON PROPOSED STUFF FOR THE BOOK We got several responses to proposed writings for Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht. These were "Animal Sex: Furry and Feathery" by Dr. Octopussy and Reverend Loveshade; "Five Basic Beliefs: A Discordian Version" by Reverend Loveshade and based on a piece by The Loveshade Family; "The Golden Apple" by Reverend Loveshade; and "The Lawn" by the mythical Gamemaster Loveshade. The clear consensus was favorable toward them all, so they'll be in the book. By the way, do the names of most of these authors seem to have something in common? Can't quite put my finger on what it is....

What will we do after that? Don't worry; we'll think of something. We have decided to send future submissions only to those who request to review them. The reason for this is simple: we have a lot of them that we want to go through relatively quickly so we can finish the book. But we don't want to burden our subscribers with lots of attachments they don't want. So let us know by 4 April 2007 if you want to be able to review future submissions. See directions for emailing us below. For now we have more submissions for you to consider for inclusion in our book! (Note that all these have already gone through initial screenings; yours is the final decision! Also note that the only way to receive these is to subscribe to our Snooze Letter--see below) These are I am a Jelly Doughnut, which reviews that famous quote by U. S. President John F. Kennedy; Proposed Saints (let us know which of these you accept/don't accept--yes, we didn't attach descriptions of what they did, but will trust that if you don't know, you can look for them or request info from us); and Rites of Life. Please let us know what you think by 4 April 2007 by sending an email to the address below. * * * * * If you or someone you know wants to begin getting our absolutely free Snooze Letter and other cool emailings, send an email to xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx with the subject Add Me. If you want us to take your name off of our emailing list (which means you will remain unilluminated), send an email to the same address with the subject Unsubscribe. Send your comments on our Snooze Letter or proposals or opinions on submitted pieces or a request to review future submissions or whatever to the same address, but put something Discordian (ED, ECG, Eris, etc.) in your heading so we'll know it's not spam.
