FOR Pungenday, Bureaucracy 64th, 3174 will be bicycle ride in favor of the DISCORDIAN SOCIETY, and join the LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD! (or if you prefer, start a sect.)
Eris is the goddess of discord. Discord as in quarelling.
I knew a girl named Eris and she was a pain.
I also knew a girl named Erin and she was very nice even though she was a vegetarian.
@Franz and Stilline, there will be hotdogs, no bun...
From The Five Commandments (The Pentabarf)
III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
After the Discordian ride, can we have a SubGenius ride and dress up like J. R. "Bob" Dobbs?
"The central belief in the Church is the pursuit of Slack, which generally stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that comes when you achieve your personal goals. The Church states that we are all born with Original Slack, but that Slack has been stolen from us by a worldwide conspiracy of normal people, or "pinks". The Church encourages originality and frowns on actions seen as pinkness, which happens when one bows down to authority and the accepted limits of society. Slack is also about doing nothing and getting what you want anyway. "Bob" being the center of the Slack plane cannot fail, even his failures are startling successes as a result of his absurdly high Slack. Popular Church phrases supporting these goals are "Give Me Slack or KILL ME!", "The SubGenius Must Have Slack" and "Fuck 'Em If They Can't Take A Joke."
It is for this that he goes forth. For thee walks amongst his flock as one for only to thee master for thee master will be amongst judgment day. There are only the followers upon the green valley of life. Thee master shall for my master shall be no longer remains for all to follow.
A: Excerpt from the Principia Discordia, pg 00042:
GREYFACE
In the year 1166 B.C., a malcontented hunchbrain by the name of Greyface, got it into his head that the universe was as humorless as he, and he began to teach that play was sinful because it contradicted the ways of Serious Order. "Look at all the order around you," he said. And from that, he deluded honest men to believe that reality was a straightjacket affair and not the happy romance as men had known it.
It is not presently understood why men were so gullible at that particular time, for absolutely no one thought to observe all the disorder around them and conclude just the opposite. But anyway, Greyface and his followers took the game of playing at life more seriously than they took life itself and were known even to destroy other living beings whose ways of life differed from their own.
The unfortunate result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a psychological and spiritual imbalance. Imbalance causes frustration, and frustration causes fear. And fear makes for a bad trip. Man has been on a bad trip for a long time now.
It is called THE CURSE OF GREYFACE.
Bullshit makes
the flowers grow
& that's beautiful.
This game was invented because it seems like when you know someone well enough, 75-80% of any Rock-Paper-Scissors games you play with that person end up in a tie. Well, here is a slight variation that reduces that probability. (Note that for those of you who like to swing your fist back and forth and say, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, GO!", might want to continue to do that, replacing "Rock" with "One," "Paper" with "Two," and "Scissors" with "Three.") This version is also nice because it satisfies the Law of Fives.
As the renowned political philosopher St. Van Van Mojo once said:
We got the message, I heard it on the airwaves.
The politicians are now DJs.
The politics of dancing.
The politics of, ooo, feeling good.
The politics of moving. Aha.
Q. What is/are these Discordian Society beliefs? I don't get it.
A. Well they probably don't get you. Here are some basics:
KNOW YE THIS O MAN OF FAITH!
I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.
II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.
III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.
V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.
IT IS SO WRITTEN! SO BE IT. HAIL DISCORDIA! PROSECUTORS WILL BE TRANSGRESSICUTE
@VioletMoodSwings, Jes. Diz I know. However, as a disciple of Saint Van Van Mojo, and thusly, as a disciple of music and dancing, I find myself proclaiming David Bowie's good name quite a bit.
I partook of my (veggie) hot dog with no bun at approximately 1:30 this morning. I was simultaneously informed that white people smell like mayonnaise.
@ Joe Borfo - I'd prefer to ride my bike myself, thanks. But Murato Boy can ride with us. He probably doesn't swerve when he's had too much to drink, which makes him safer than some other ridazz. lol.

There is no "theme", what you bring IS the theme. There is a RIDE, which will emphasize what you bring, or not. Pay attention to these words:
The Discordian Society has no definition.
I sometimes think of it as a disorganization of Eris Freaks. It has been called a guerrilla mind theatre. Episkopos Randomfactor, Director of Purges of Our People's Underworld Movement sect in Larchmont, prefers "The World's Greatest Association of What-ever-it-is-that-we-are." Lady Mal thinks of it as a RENAISSANCE THINK TANK. Fang the Unwashed, WKC, won't say. You can think of it any way you like.
AN EPISKOPOS OF THE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY is one who prefers total autonomy, and creates his own Discordian sect as The Goddess directs him. He speaks for himself and for those that say that they like what he says.
THE LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCORD: A Discordian Society Legionnaire is one who prefers not to create his own sect.
If you want in on the Discordian Society
then declare yourself what you wish
do what you like
and tell us about it
or if you prefer
don't.
There are no rules anywhere.
The Goddess Prevails.
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top
of the slide where I stop and I turn and I go
for a ride, then I get to the bottom and I see
you again! Helter skelter!

Scrambled eggs and whiskey
in the false-dawn light. Chicago,
a sweet town, bleak, God knows,
but sweet. Sometimes. And
weren't we fine tonight?
When Hank set up that limping
treble roll behind me
my horn just growled and I
thought my heart would burst.
And Brad M. pressing with the
soft stick and Joe-Anne
singing low. Here we are now
in the White Tower, leaning
on one another, too tired
to go home. But don't say a word,
don't tell a soul, they wouldn't
understand, they couldn't, never
in a million years, how fine,
how magnificent we were
in that old club tonight.
Dear Coe Coe Butta, just head to Olympic & Broadway... you won't miss us. Trust me. Unless (of course) we get kicked out (by the fuzz) and have to move (then there would be a problem).
Just looking around and found this...
Eris (UB313) was named after the Greek goddess of discord and strife. She stirs up jealousy and envy to cause fighting and anger among men. At the wedding of Peleus and Thetis all the gods were invited with the exception of Eris, and, enraged at her exclusion, she spitefully caused a quarrel among the goddesses that led to the Trojan war.
Oh, but she is much more multi-faceted than that. Sexism and gender stereotyping ran rampant in those days, as you can imagine, so women were often given short shrift.
And also, as Eris herself has said of the Greeks, "They suffered from indigestion, you know."

Malevolent AGENTS of the Bavarian Illuminati may have already infiltrate our (dis)Organization. They may be "friends" of yours, they may be disguised as police officers or other public officials.

3. Eternal enemies of Discordians everywhere.
4. Supported by and funded through various Discordian enterprises.
5. They are everywhere
6. You are paranoid

Don't be fooled or intimidated by the AUTHORITIES. Remember, you answer only to Goddess. If the greyface still intimidates you, perform the Turkey Curse. (as follows)
ERISIAN MAGIC RITUAL - THE TURKEY CURSE
Revealed by the Apostle Dr. Van Van Mojo as a specific counter to the evil Curse of Greyface, THE TURKEY CURSE is here passed on to Erisians everywhere for their just protection.
The Turkey Curse works. It is firmly grounded on the fact that Greyface and his followers absolutely require an aneristic setting to function and that a timely introduction of eristic vibrations will neutralize their foundation. The Turkey Curse is designed solely to counteract negative aneristic vibes and if introduced into a neutral or positive aneristic setting (like a poet working out word rhythms) it will prove harmless, or at worst, simply annoying. It is not designed for use against negative eristic vibes, although it can be used as an eristic vehicle to introduce positive vibes into a misguided eristic setting. In this instance, it would be the responsibility of the Erisian Magician to manufacture the positive vibrations if results are to be achieved. CAUTION- all magic is powerful and requires courage and integrity on the part of the magician. This ritual, if misused, can backfire. Positive motivation is essential for self-protection.
TO PERFORM THE TURKEY CURSE:
Take a foot stance as if you were John L. Sullivan preparing for fisticuffs. Face the particular greyfaced you wish to short-circuit, or towards the direction of the negative aneristic vibration that you wish to neutralize. Begin waving your arms in any elaborate manner and make motions with your hands as though you were Mandrake feeling up a sexy giantess. Chant, loudly and clearly:
GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE!
So,I got a blue card....somehow rode with the red team...then out of nowhere I ended up with the blue team. WTF!!!!!
