A few Discordian phun items:

May 5 (5/5) Laurie Anderson concert. I sat on row 5, seat 5, and wore a 
borrowed pentagram necklace (I haven't commissioned James Avery to cast
a silver five-fingered hand of Eris for me yet...)

Discovering that the manager of my store, who was former regional trainer,
was secretly fnording the training manuals for all of the Kinko's in Houston.

and hanging it in the window of a Radio Shack, right next to the sign with

My friend and I developed 5 years ago the eight-ball religion.  Only through
the grace of the triple combo shall thee be saved.  We enjoy the game too, but
my friend has gone off in chaotic directions.  He was last spotted heading
towards Washington and was never heard from again.  *Sigh*  How sad.

 Doesn't this invalidate the idea of creating your own damn religion?
Of course, for myself I know that the only real truth is excreted by the
Great Squid, but I still ask that others form their own Heresies, and spread
them. From others flawed visions, we can find the inspiration to correct
them, and discover yet another sort of truth. Or some shit.

Use your own damn ideas, with which to fuel others creativity.

A friend of mine worked out the details of this as it was not documenteed
in PD.  He never told the whole procedure, but I do remember that it
ends with the bride and groom stamping each other "RECEIVED" on the
forehead.

May I become a member?  I have read the afforementioned texts, thus knowing
many secret words; nonetheless, I am not a Discordian.  I want to be hip, so
may I join your order?  It would be an honor and distinction.  Please let me

The new Kerry Thornley introduction of the sixth edition of Principia
goes into this topic. It seems to me that he is saying yes there is a
difference, but because Paul has asked the question the way he did, he is
disqualified from being a real Discordian.

distinguishing Discordians by questioning their individual styles
against a standard is both like and unlike organising anarchists.
