Order of the Pineapple Winners 2010

Posted by unicornia on 17 January 2010, 8:53 pm

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!

The Order of the Pineapple–Nominations 2010

Posted by Reverend Loveshade on 4 December 2009, 9:37 pm

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)
