Order of the Pineapple 2013: Adam Gorightly and S. John Ross

Posted by  on 17 January 2013, 4:35 pm

The Disorder of the Pineapple

The envelop for The Order of the Pineapple, please. The pineapples go to:

Adam Gorightly and S. John Ross.

S. John Ross (Pope Leo). The mind behind Novus Ordo Discordia, the Gospel of St. Pesher the Gardener, author of Steve Jackson Games’ Warehouse 23, creator of Risus and fonts used by Discordians, and “foreplayer” (foreword writer) for Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht. Patriarch Wilhelm Leonardo Pesher-Principle was a major contributor to Apocrypha Discordia, likely the first (and often considered one of the best) Discordian work of the 21st century.

Adam Gorightly. Author of The Prankster and the Conspiracy: The Story of Kerry Thornley and How He Met Oswald and Inspired the Counterculture. This is considered the primary work covering Thornley and the early Discordians, and uncovered much that was unknown. The Shadow Over Santa Susana: Black Magic, Mind Control, and “The Manson Family” Mythos is one of the most complete compilations of Charles Manson and the Manson family. He is known as the “Crackpot Historian.”

The Order of the Pineapple (aka The DisOrder of the Pineapple) honors those who contribute to discord and ek-sen-trik tendencies above and beyond the call of duty. It was first given in 1982 and is given each year on January 18 which is Pat Pineapple Day. Last year’s winners were Doctor Demento and R. Crumb. To see a list of all winners, visit op.loveshade.org.

Congratulations to the new winners! Remember to eat something having to with pineapple on January 18!

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).

Order of the Pineapple 2012: R. Crumb and Dr. Demento

Posted by  on 18 January 2012, 3:39 pm

Order of the Pineapple: Pat PineappleDR. DEMENTO and R. CRUMB named to Order of the Pineapple 2012

We had some very worthy nominees this year, but for the award’s 30th anniversary the outstanding winners are R. Crumb and Dr. Demento.

Dr. Demento: A radio announcer who specializes in novelty songs, comedy, and strange or unusual recordings dating from the early days of phonograph records to the present. The doctor has been spinning the wax for decades, has a master’s degree in folklore and ethnomusicology, and brought older comic musical artists such as Spike Jones, Benny Bell, Yogi Yorgesson, and Tom Lehrer to new generations. His show was the one that introduced the world to “Weird Al” Yankovich. Visit www.drdemento.com

R. Crumb (Robert Crumb). The creator of Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, Devil Girl, and Keep on Truckin’. One of the most prominent of the underground artists, his work is said to have laid the foundation for the underground going mainstream in such animated programs as Beavis and Butthead, The Simpsons, and South Park. While working well outside the mainstream, he also illustrated a graphic novel version of the Book of Genesis, several album covers, and has had his work featured in museums. Visit www.rcrumb.com

The Order of the Pineapple (sometimes called The DisOrder of the Pineapple) has been awarded on January 18 in most years since 1982; this is its 30th anniversary. It is typically awarded to one or two people who have made outstanding contributions to “the participatorial study of comedic attitudes and eccentric tendencies.” Last year’s honorees were Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls) and Sondra London ( A Current Affair, The Making of a Serial Killer: The Real Story of the Gainesville Murders, Killer Fiction, Knockin’ on Joe: Voices from Death Row).

While anyone has the right to turn down the award, so far no one has.

Remember, it is absolutely essential for members to eat something containing or resembling pineapple on Pat Pineapple Day, January 18–unless of course they don’t feel like it.

Name the Coming Baby Girl!

Posted by  on 10 May 2011, 12:16 pm

As Olivia aka Ms. Candy Monkey becomes increasing and fecundly impatient to get the baby out (it’s due next month), it occurred to us maybe our lovechild should have a name.

For some reason Olivia has been somewhat hestitant to accept any of my wonderfully touching suggestions for the name for our coming baby girl.  You know, really special names gained directly from our random name generator.*  So far the Baby Mama hasn’t accepted any from my list of to-be-legally-recognized baby names such as Princess Pineapple, Godling Minnie Cheerleader, Sister Mary Discord, Pope Baby, and Empress Baby Poop.

So we decided to turn to others for name ideas.  Pope Hilde did the same thing, and es and Fundament’s baby touched Mommy’s breast to self-choose the wonderful Discordian-but-not-too-Discordian name Erisa (suggested by Princess Unicornia and Nurse Eggscream as announced in our July-August 2008 Snooze Letter).

Submit as many names as you like either by posting here or sending them to us by email at namethebaby@loveshade.org.  (The email addy will be discontinued after a name is chosen).  The winning name and winning name suggestor will be posted here and in our Snooze Letter.

Thanks for your suggestions and have a day!

*which we completely ripped off and tweaked from Professor Mu Chao’s.
