The Order of the Pineapple–Nominations 2010

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)

The E-Jing-A-Ling Thing

Posted by Professor Mu-Chao on 26 November 2009, 5:42 pm

The I-Ching is an ancient Chinese system that is not unlike the western Tarot. Sticks or coins are thrown and they Mean Something.

For the E-Jing-A-Ling Thing, we took the I-Ching and created Discordian answers that had some similarity to the Chinese meanings (albeit, in some cases it is a stretch, but the Goddess TOLD us to do it).

There are 4 sections that should be studied and meditated upon for each throwing. The hexagram itself, the name of the hexagram, the quote or image that applies to that name, and our explanation of the hexagram’s meaning. Each one of these is just as important to understanding the hexagram as the other is, so don’t ignore the first three by any means.

We thought about creating a system that uses Pentagrams instead of Hexagrams (for obvious reasons), but figured we would duplicate and feed off of the old chinese sage’s wisdom first. When we feel up to it, we may create another E-Jing-A-Ling that relies on Pentagrams.

Think of a question and

Or Download the Discordian Oracle AppleKation, which appears to have disappeared from the internet now that the creator’s website, Neuroatomic.com, is history. This is an exe file that allows you to throw an E-Jing-A-Ling-Thing (and get Discordian Cabalistic numbers for words) from the comfort of your own computer. Since I had nothing to do with the program, don’t come looking at me for support – it either works or it doesn’t.
