| Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild Snooze Letter March - April 2009 The "Get Off Your Butt and Do Something" Issue discordia.loveshade.org This being the 'Get Your Butt Out There and Do Something' Issue, in which we encourage you to submit to Discordian Prophetica, invite you to the second annual Discordian Cyberspace Masquerade, join the battle between Shamlicht Kids Club and Smagmoid Kids Club, have an Erister Egg Hunt/EggGASM, and get on the radio. RADIO FREE DISCORDIA IS ON THE AIR -- SORT OF 'RADIO FREE DISCORDIA is finally launching! You can hear its birth pangs tonight [April 1, 2009] at about 7 PM EST. If you're interested in doing a show, whether it's a one-shot or a weekly gig, contact Mourning Star, who can (often) be found in the #RFD chat room.' -- Professor Cramulus www.radiofreediscordia.org. WFMU IS ON THE AIR -- STILL FREEFORM '...When you aren't listening to Radio Free Discordia, you might want to check out WFMU. It's the oldest freeform radio station in the United States of Amerika, synchronistically beginning in the same year Goddess Discordia exposed herself to Omar and Malaclypse. And some of the DJs are some of us. Althought some of them don't know it.' -- Anonymous Lifeform Visit their website at wfmu.org and listen at wfmu.org/wfmu.pls ERISTER EGG HUNT / EGGGASM Yes, it's time once again to hide weird stuff and stranger messages in plastic eggs. For a year, it's been said the idea originated with Pinky McFatfat and a post made 11 days before Easter in 2008. Professor Cramulus almost immediately called it EggGASM, as part of OMGASM (Operation Mindfuck: Golden Apple Seed Mission). Simultaneously, the Mythics of Harmonia (primarily Princess Unicornia, Fairy Princess Yoshikyoko and Nurse Eggscream) dubbed it Erister Egg Hunt. Call it what you will, but do it. But it was actually done earlier, probably in 1997 CE: 'One Easter, the Sacred Chao Ranch Cabal hid plastic Easter eggs all over the mall, supermarkets, museums, churches, etc. that had enlightening fortunes trapped inside. The fortunes were along the lines of “This is an unfertilized egg”, “The PA lottery number for 5-23-97 will be 17-32- 5”, “You picked the 10 of Clubs”, “25 cents off of LUCKY CHARMS”, and “You are pregnant (replace egg if you are a man)”.' The above is from 'The Discordian Manifesto #3' by Professor Mu-Chao and other 23ae.com peeps as it appears in Apocrypha Discordia, 2nd edition on page 17 and at www.23ae. com/index.asp?post=12 This connection was finally pointed out by Spagnaut at http://groups. yahoo.com/group/illuminatusinnersanctum/message/13363 Learn more and see the links at discordia.loveshade.org/xtra/erister.html SHAMLICHT KIDS CLUB vs SMAGMOID KIDS CLUB? In case you're unaware, Shamlicht Kids Club was a merger of Shamlicht Girls and Shamlicht Boys that happened on 3 October 2007. The separate clubs had both begun in 2005, the girls' club began by Sister Hooter and the boys' club by Captain 'Sesame Seed' Rogers. Like Discordianism itself, it was a small joke that grew.... Now, there are a few independent chapters in various parts of Earth, which means that a few outsiders are starting to hear of it. This has caused some concern over the name. While there's great debate about what 'shamlicht' means, for a real kids club it bears what some find an uncomfortable resemblance to various English words. Therefore, it's been proposed by a couple members of the SKC's Purple Ferret's Nest that the club name be changed to Smagmoid Kids Club. 'Smagmoid' is, of course, the word spoken by the crow that proceeded the appearance of Cherub Princess Shamlicht, who revealed the mission of creating Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht to Reverend Loveshade. This was on Mid Year's Day 2005, which is when Reverend Loveshade first heard the crow say 'smagmoid.' Perhaps 'shamlicht' sounds more acceptable than 'smagmoid, ' especially as most people won't know that Shamlicht is a not-socially-correct naked cherub with monkeys flying out of es butt. On the other hand, 'smagmoid' also sounds like certain English words, and is similar to a futuristic expletive used frequently on Red Dwarf (if you haven't seen that show, watch it).Give us your opinion on that and anything else, you briliating people, at discordia.loveshade.org/xtra/feedback. Visit the club at discordia.loveshade.org/skc. Note that while we are hosting the SKC on our website, we have no official affiliation with the group. Also note that the leaders and members of SKC will make the final decision on the name. SKC LOGO Shamlicht Kids Club (to be Smagmoid Kids Club?) is also looking for a logo. As each group is really independent in spite of the supposed structure, several of the members and leaders think it would be fun to have some sort of logo they could use. See discordia.loveshade.org/skc for more about the group. Then send your artwork or suggestions to them at the address listed there. MASQUERADE AT LIMBO PEAK aka DISCORDIAN CYBERSPACE MASQUERADE Those who participated in this last year know it was a lot of fun. Everyone wore a "mask," so you didn't know who anyone else there was. That unknown partier could be your best friend, someone you never met, or your worst enemy. Last year, the first year, led to a book (still coming), ShamliCon, Day of Discord, and more. Who knows what it will lead to this year? YOU are invited to the Discordian CYBERSPACE MASQUERADE Shed your old Internet identity. Come in "disguise."
