New York Review of Books: Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht

Posted by  on 17 January 2013, 3:38 pm
One of these World Naked Bike Ride partiers is an offspring of an original Ek-sen-trik.

From Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht.

Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht is now listed in the New York Review of Books!  They list it as Philosophy/Humor, which is more-or-less accurate.  The book’s been listed elsewhere as Educational, New Age, and Personal Development, which are more or less accurate too.  Of course it could also be listed as backup toilet paper.

What book have Robert Anton Wilson (who saw an early draft), Rev. Ivan Stang, R. Crumb, Alan Moore, Sondra London aka The Erisian Elestria, Reverend Jason “Pee Kitty” Levine, Adam Gorightly, Johnny Shellburn, S. John Ross aka Pope Leo and Malaclypse the Younger aka Greg Hill (who never saw the whole book but read some selections) and others been talking about?  Feel free to find out!

You can see comments by the above, preview it or buy it at Amazon.  Or even better you can buy it at discordia.loveshade.org/store.

What’s that?  You don’t believe the New York Review of Books would actually list an independent Discordian tome?  Check http://assets.nybooks.com/media/ipl/independents.pdf  (Note this pdf may change with time).

Are You a Contributor?

You can still get an additional discount on the already discounted $20.00 $15.00 cover price but you’ll need to respond by 18 January 2013 date extended to 14 February 2013. Send an email identifying yourself to edcheap@loveshade.org by then and see yourself in print!

(Note: we’d give contributors one for free but we can’t get the books free either! Something about the book’s publisher Anaphora Literary Press wanting to make money or something).

Sigils

Posted by  on 1 September 2011, 9:32 am

What’s a Sigil?

Sigils are magic spells encoded into MS Paint. At the height of orgasm, or when you’re all tweaked out on meth, your brain is particularly open to suggestion. (that’s why you keep calling those 900 numbers in the back of the magazine) So if you stare at the sigil while you fap or watch late night aerobics videos, the message encoded into the sigil will enter your brain and start micromanaging your nervous-system-homonculous like a playground bully, and suddenly you will be like CAPTAIN PLANET and not a pasty-ass namby-pamby spag who’s all like ehhh ehhhh stop twisting my arm Cramulus ehhh I deserve a turn at the water fountain too. That’s scientifically proven: If you masturbate just right, you will unleash the power of The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Then you’ll smoke a cigarette and say to yourself “I just fucked the universe.”

I’ll get us started!

Effect: this sigil will make you think that cartoon characters from the 1980s are real, and they might be, you know, a romantic option.

 


Effect: If you fap to this sigil, you will ejaculate tiny Beatles. They will perform music for you until they dry, at which point you’ll have to do laundry.

 

 


Effect: This one will make you talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger for 11 minutes.

edit: 19 minutes! new record!

Posted by  on 11 July 2010, 10:36 am

OMFGZ! THIS IS THE MOST GODDAMN AWESOMEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!! IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY BLOWING MY MIND FOR THE LAST THREE HOURS!!!

Just knowing that this completely unironically stolen depiction of the atheist’s invisible pink unicorn exists has restored my hope for humanity! Welcome back, goddess worship!

In other news, I’ve been playing with spray-paint in non-ventilated areas.

Erister Egg Hunt

Posted by  on 31 March 2010, 9:02 am

The Erister Egg Hunt is also known as EggGasm

The Erister Egg Hunt is also known as EggGasm

Easter is just around the corner! It falls on April 4th this year. Discordians celebrate easter with the annual ERISTER EGG HUNT.

The Erister Egg Hunt is an annual Golden Apple Seed Mission. The object of the game is to put crazy crap inside of plastic eggs and hide them for people to find on Easter.

When somebody finds an egg, maybe they’ll laugh. Maybe they’ll be weirded out. Maybe they’ll have a conversation about it later. Maybe they’ll hide some eggs too.

Sure, it’s not exactly a new idea, per se. People have been hiding plastic eggs on Easter since the Triassic era. But instead of candy, fnords. Put stuff inside the eggs which you think it would be cool to find. What you put inside the eggs is really up to you.

Please take photos of your antics and post them here! People have also been posting pix to flickr and tagging them “EggGASM”

More info here.Egg8
