Organization: The HRC


The deformation of:

     The Hot-dog Reformative Church, Creative Disorder Cabal.

The HRC is a Discordian church of the Hot-dog Heresy, and believes:

1. That the Erisian POEE (Paratheo-anametamystikhood Of Eris Esoteric) position
  on the practice of Heretically eating a Hot-dog on a friday (Catholicism - No
  meat on fridays ; Buddhism - No flesh of Animals ; Judaism - No meat of pork ;
  Hindu - No meat of Beef ; Erisianism - No Hot-dog buns) is in itself a
  conformist attitude to take, and by the joint practices of the equality of
  oppositions (All opposites are Equal) and Wu-Wei (Doing everything by doing
  nothing at all), then NOT eating a Hot-dog on a friday is a far better
  statement of disgust. Therefore, the HRC insists most vehmently that its
  members shall NOT eat of a Hot-dog on a friday. Unless they feel like it.

2. That the A.'.A.'. position that "Every Man and Woman is a star" is 
  discrimimnatory against Neuters and Transsexuals, and thus insists that
  "Everything is a star, just so long as it wants to be".

3. That fanaticism is Evil, and thus all fanatics must be destroyed ruthlessly,
  and indeed the HRC is most fanatical on this point.

4. That the 23rd of May (23/5) is a most holy day to our lady Eris, and thus on
  the 23rd of May, every good Erisian should be as strange as possible, so as 
  to bewilder and thus enlighten as many people as possible.

5. That "Golden Delicious" apples are an avatar of our Lady, and thus should be
  treated with all courtesy and respect. Whenever a Golden Delicious makes a
  direct demand upon you, you should attempt to honour it as quickly as
  possible. Only eat Golden Delicious apples when you feel like it.


The HRC is affiliated to the World Domination (tm) Network of Expansionist (tm)
Churches, and may thus consider membership requests. It may also issue *YOU*
(No, not you, *YOU*, over *there*, in the... Yes, that's right. *YOU*) with
a canonisation certificate at ANY (or even ALL) TIME/s.

A contribution to D-D mixing from some technicolor extensions to
the standard model of particle interactions comes from "moose diagrams."
They yield four-quark interactions at energies below the chiral breaking
scale.

I think they look like a moose, or something.  Hail Eris!

Well, as a general reply to a few people:

I post poems here becuase poetry and prose have the same traditional roots
and I view poetry as prose with a stricter format standard.

I've been posting here since last spring, and I've seen others post poems here
too, and I've only seen 1 or 2 posted complaints and I just received my first
complaint the other day.

Countering that I have received several letters either asking me to keep
posting here or complimenting my work, etc.

I post both prose and poetry here and intend to keep doing so in response to
the majority.

Unless someone can produce the original charter to alt.prose and it explicitly
forbids poetry.

Of course anyone can forge one, so I'll post one if I get it to double check.
I've been lied to before when people just didn't like something.

   "Pastrami?  I hate Pastrami!"  Raymond was shouting now, but in a
New York deli no one notices that sort of thing.  Raymond and the
incompetent deli man were locked in their own little life and death
struggle in a little bubble of space in the deli.  Other bubbles had
people screaming their orders to other incompetent deli men.  By the
register, in a relatively quiet bubble of space, someone was probably
robbing the cashier.  Raymond tired of his tirade, and quietly asked
for another sandwich, "Corned Beef THIS Time!"

   Satisfied that he got his way, Raymond worked his way over to
where the cashier stood.  "Corned beef on rye, with extra sauerkraut."

   "Five ninety eight."

   Raymond pulled out a twenty, hoping to get change.

   The cashier wagged his head.  "Got anything smaller?  That c*******er
got all my tens."

   Raymond fished in his pockets, but all he could find was four singles.
The cashier wagged his head, then fished a ten out of a frame on the
wall behind the register.  Raymond pocketed his change, knowing he
won the change game with the cashier.  He put his chin up a bit and
stepped out into the street.

   Raymond ate the pickle first.  It was just the thing to do.  When
he was stuck waiting to cross the street, he fished his corned beef out.
He took a big bite.

   "Pastrami!  Ugh!  I hate pastrami!"  He tossed the sandwich into a
ditch, not considering how his hate of pastrami masked his guilt
about his mother.

alt.prose was created in 1988 by me and several others who
noted the lack of a group for posting fictional and essay
forms.  It is specifically for the posting of these and
other non-lyric forms (which is the definition of 'prose',
btw).  A grey area exists with prose poetry and free verse.  
However, there is an existing group for the posting of poems: 

rec.arts.poems

and I encourage people with poems of any sort to make use of
that group instead.  alt.prose was created because there was
not enough interest to create a rec or misc group devoted to
the posting of prose works.  As such, this group is a precious
resource.  I would prefer to see it stick to its charter.

   Memories in the Moon Filled Night


Walking by the sea I spy 
A dark red object floating by,
Perfect as a woman's sigh
Perfect as the moon filled night.

Picking up the rose I shiver
Wondering if I'll see you ever,
Dreaming of your azure eyes 
Dreaming in the moon filled night.

Softly kissing the rose blood red
Strong memories rush through my head,
Cabins, fires, mystic candle light
Starring out into the moon filled night.

Your lips as wet and as soft as the rose
Gently kissing my blushing nose,
These memories are hard to fight
Memories of love in the moon filled night
