HAIL ERIS!!!!!
---------------FROM: Office Of The Bull Goose, University Of Discordia,
Washington, D. C., Campus.
TO: Grace, Our Benevolent Alpine Trouble Shooteress, RMA,
by-the-sea.
SUBJECT: Misc. data on the Discordian Society.
OBJECT: Your devine befuddlement.
DS DATA SHEETOFFICIAL SEAL: The Eristic (or, if you prefer: Sacred) Chao
(or, if you prefer: Cow).
OFFICIAL COLORS: Red, brown, yellow, green, blue, gold, black,
orange, purple, ivory, tuti-fruity, etc.
OFFICIAL HANDBOOK: The Honest Book Of Truth, which runs into
several esoteric volumes, including: THE FIVE PILLARS OF RUBBISH;
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO OMAR; THE CHAOSPHE BIBLE; THE BOOKS OF
BOKONON; THE WAY OF THE CHAO; and many others which, like most of
the above, have not yet been written — but we're working on them.
UNOFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS: The Lay Books (not to be confused with
obscene literature) which include at present: CATCH-22; CAT'S
CRADLE; and ONE FLEW OVER THE COOKCO'3 NESTS.
OUR MOTTO: We have several of these; a random sample follows:
"Keep X in your Xianity!" "To Hell with THE INFERNO!" (Dante
didn't like Sowers Of Discord) "Fuck God!" (We love Her.)
OFFICIAL, ESOTERIC GREETING: Hail Eris!!!!! (This is esoteric
because people think you said, "Hail Eros!" and are merely some
kind of libertine or, "Ale Heiress!" and are advertising some new
kind of imported beer.)
OUR GOVERNMENT: Eristocracy, of course.
UNIVERSAL HEADQUARTERS (no extra-terristial discrimination):
Limbo. And our US branch office is Box 55555, Pentagon, etc.,
but don't write us there as it is fictional rather than functional.
AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: This is a Discordian Society; anyone caught
practicing Bokonism gets the HOOKonon, or whatever.
NOTE: For your futher befuddlement, write Greg and ask him for
THE MYTH OF STARBUCK(or whatever he calls it).
-- Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, Bull G. 'o Limbo & P of S
