The 23 Apples of Eris

I didn’t write this I’m just posting it. But I am a member of the order!

The Order of the Pineapple is also called the DisOrder of the Pineapple and the Pineapple DisOrder, but it’s usually abbreviated O.P. (The award has also been called Patus Pineappleus Bromeliadic and the winners The P.P. Bromeliadics or Bromedliaddicts). It honors those who have given extraordinary service to “the participatorial study of comedic attitudes and eccentric tendencies.” Most awardees have been members of one of the chapters of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (ECG), the Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (D & D of the ECG), Colonial Williamsburg, or Discordians, but that is not required. The O.P. is awarded to very few people, those who are especially servicey. It’s presented on only one day a year, January 18 CE, which is 18 Chaos of the Discordian calendar. That date is recognized as Pat Pineapple Day. Pat is the Mascot of the ECG and Patron Saint of the D & D of the ECG.

Without further ado, here are the 2010 winners which makes this the Year of the Professors:

Professor Mu-Chao: formerly known as Prince Mu-Chao, is responsible for creating the 23 Apples of Eris which appears at http://www.23ae.com. One of the most popular Discordian sites, it slowly faded until a recent revival and a redo brought it back to full strength. E has contributed to many Discordian works; you can see some of Mu-Chao’s work at http://www.23ae.com/author/pmc. We would like especially to point out The Jake that Changed a World, where an effort begun by Mu-Chao led to Planet X being named Planet Eris, at http://discordia.loveshade.org/ek-sen-trik-kuh/planeteris.html. Also see es bio at http://s23.org/wiki/Professor_Mu-Chao. While not a member of the D & D of the ECG or the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild, e helped spread the word and has done work specifically for the D & D of the ECG.

Professor Cramulus: formerly known as Pirate Dan, is largely responsible for OMGASM or Operation Mindfuck: Golden Apple Seed Missions, PosterGASM, and for being the first editor of the Discordian magazine Intermittens. E moderates the Black Iron Prison wiki at http://www.blackironprison.com, edited the second edition book of the BIP found at http://www.principiadiscordia.com/bip/1.php, and has contributed to several Discordian works. If its a 21 century Discordian Jake, chances are e’s involved. You can see es bio at http://s23.org/wiki/Professor_Cramulus. While not a member of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild or the D & D of the ECG, e helped spread the word and has been a voice for reason in Discordian fire fests that threatened to really split us apart where we aren’t sticking together.

Congratulations!
