ORDER OF THE PINEAPPLE: NOMINATIONS
You may know that the Order of the Pineapple (OP) is our second oldest and most truly “this-gives-you-bragging-rights” DisOrder. Traditionally, it honors those who have made exceptional contributions of discord and eccentricity in service to the estorical Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (ECG) and later to the Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (D & D of the ECG). But the times they are a-changin’. As the original ECG faded into the grey mist, as the Shamlicht Kids Club grew into reality, and as the neo-Discordians have become so interconnected, we’ve expanded it somewhat. However, some direct or indirect contribution to D & D of the ECG or the ECG, and service to the cause of discord and eccentric tendencies is still required.
It’s time once again to think of nominating worthies for next year’s award. While only a member of the DisOrder can technically make a nomination, we’ll take suggestions for deserving trouble-makers from anyone. Send your suggestions including reasons why we should consider your proposed member to our email listed on our homepage (link is below). Please send them no later than Santa Claus Day (25 December 2009).
OP Estorical notes
Our oldest DisOrder is The Unknown DisOrder which began in 1981 and technically predates the ECG. The OP is our second oldest, and was first awarded on 18 January 1982, and since then the award is always given on 18 January, which honors our patron saint and the ECG mascot Pat Pineapple. It was most recently awarded in 2009 to willing recipients Steve Jackson and Reverend Loveshade (anyone is free to turn down the award, although as far as we know no one ever has).
We are missing several years in which the OP may have been given. If you have any information on awardees from 1984 to 2006, please email us at the address listed on our homepage at http://discordia.loveshade.org/main.html.
Submitted for your approval,
- Reverend Loveshade, Episkopos D & D of the ECG (OP 2009)
- Princess Unicornia, Co-Founder Mythics of Harmonia (OP 2007)
- Alien, Founding Vice President ECG (OP 1982)

I got a nominee for ya. Me. I’ve harrassed your group often enough I should get something for that,right?
Also how’d you get Steve Jackson to go along with this? You don’t mean the guy that published Principia Discordia, do you? I thought not. Must must the name of some kid’s mutt.
Its Steve Jackson of Steve Jackson Games that published Principia Discordia. Reverend Loveshade knows him and I think Alden worked for him. I dont know Steve but I heard hes really nice.
This is what Steve Jackson said when he accepted the award: “Thank you very much for the bromeliadic honor! To the ranks of flaxscrip and hempscrip we can now add pineapplescrip . . .” http://discordia.loveshade.org/xtra/snooze/snooze0901.html
