| Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild Snooze Letter September-November 2008 The "Sorry We're a Little Bit Late" Issue discordia.loveshade.org This being the "Sorry We're a Little Bit Late" Issue, in which we have an easy way for you to make suggestions/comments on our Snooze Letter/site/nose hair, keep you posted on a probably innocent man's once-again stayed execution, try listening to the radio, think about nominations for the Order of the Pineapple, see an update on Colbertgasm (an OMGASM), and give you an update on a coming Discordian book that may hold contributions from you. DISCORDIAN CYBERSPACE MASQUERADE: THE BOOK The book for the Discordian Cyberspace Masquerade (name currently under debate) is in it's seventh draft, according to "Hairacles." It will contain various items posted during the masq, plus some cool bonus stuff--or so we've heard. A rumor says our good friend "Danacasso" is helping with layout, but who beleives rumors? In any case, Hairacles said, "Trusts me - will be worth the wait." See more comments and get updates at http://we.dontexist.net. ANTHONY TROY DAVIS: EXECUTE THE INNOCENT? Every once in a while we get serious, and this is one of those times. Anthony Davis was scheduled for execution, but it was stayed. Then he was scheduled to be executed again; the U. S. Supreme Court put a stay on it two hours before it was scheduled to happen. Then, very surprisingly, they didn't re-examine the case! So he was set to be executed again. This time another court stopped it. Now he may actually be getting a hearing on December 9. Davis was convicted of killing a police officer. But after his conviction, seven of the nine witnesses against him recanted their testimony--some even said they were coerced into testifying by the police! There's no physical evidence linking him to the crime, the murder weapon was never found, and Davis has continued to assert his innocence. Strangely, one of the two witnesses who still claims Davis did it has been identified by several people as the one who actually did the killing. But a handy-dandy 1990s Greyface law makes it virtually impossible to rehear a homicide case after conviction. Many friends and members of the Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild and other assorted Discordians have joined The Loveshade Family in sending in emails, etc. to help. It may actually have worked! At least Davis is still alive. But when will it all end? You can see more and post your opinions by checking The Loveshade Family Blog at loveshade.org/blog. RADIO FREE DISCORDIA Radio Free Discordia is not on the air, or so it appears. The project got derailed, but hopefully will soon be on track. If you want to contribute, schedule or own show, help with tech, or generally get in the way, look for updates at http://radiofreediscordia.org. ORDER OF THE PINEAPPLE: NOMINATIONS One of our oldest and most prestigious DisOrders is the Order of the Pineapple. It honors those who have made exceptional contributions of extreme discord and eccentricity in service to the Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild and/or the historical/hysterical Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild. It was first awarded by the ECG on 18 January 1982, and is our second oldest order, after The Unknown DisOrder. As given only once a year on January 18, which is the holy day of our Patron Saint, Pat Pineapple, it's time to think of nominations. Technically, only a member of the Order can make a nomination, but we're open to suggestions for deserving trouble-makers. Send your suggestions to our email listed at the end of this here letter. HAPPY SPANK YOUR BUTT DAY AND OTHER HYSTERICAL OCCASIONS Bumper Bunny's butt got birthday bumped! And that's not the only one as we wish happy birthday spanks to fellow founding member Joe Monkeyshines and great member Slick Pigeon of Purple Ferret's Nest which makes them all members of Smagmoid Kids Club. Another fanny slap or five to birthday babe Minima, who's a co-founding nestler (co-leader) of PFN. Congrats to Fairy Princess Yoshikyoko, who began serving time at a four-year institution of higher education, and to Princess Unicornia who's been doing the college grind but is now at a new one. The pair are the founders of Mythics of Harmonia. COLBERTGASM (The below entry is as posted by Professor Cramulus at http://www.23ae.com/index.asp?post=451. Thanks to Ratatosk for planting the seed of an idea, and to P. C. and others for watering and fertilizing it.) For those of you that haven't heard, COLBERTGASM was an amazing success. I've also been a lazy ass about spreading word of the Discordian Society's immense and total spagtacular victory. Recently, I became motivated to give the project wiki an overhaul - check it out: ColbertGASM I've included many video clips of Colbert's Discordian references - if you know of any more, let me know!... SO DO YOU LIKE US OR NOT? Someone suggested that while the content of our site may be great, the layout is not. We've been happy with it, mostly because it does seem to violate the rules of website design and still remains very popular (as rated by quantcast.com and google.com, we're in the top three most visited Discordian sites on the Internet, and our main site, loveshade.org, is consistently ranked in the top one percent most visited sites in the English language). But it may be time for improvements. Plus we've been seriously thinking for a while about adding an internal search engine--our site's gotten big and it's getting harder to find anything. But as that means redesigning every single page (OUCH!), we might as well think about revising the layout. So let us know what you think at the link immediately below. Send Us Your Feedback!
