Comments on: RAW Week: Giant mind-map of Discordianism, by Gwendal Uguen http://boingboing.net/2012/01/16/raw-week-giant-mind-map-of-di.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 05:48:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Hieronymus Bots! http://boingboing.net/2012/01/16/raw-week-giant-mind-map-of-di.html#comment-1323113 Hieronymus Bots! Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:49:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=139410#comment-1323113 You did great at covering as broadly as possible. It's great that people all have an opinion on their related hot topics, but I think this is a great quick start for people who have never heard of Discordianism, so I'm sending this around to my family so they can get a hint that just because I live a joke doesn't mean I'm not serious.  I saw it mentioned somewhere else, but it says "200" for Gregory Hill's death. May as well be redundant than not mention. Thanks! You did great at covering as broadly as possible.

I'll admit being a young Discordian that filled 4chan and Anonops with Discordian Catma to provide examples of Dada activism. A drop in the bucket, but I can guarantee I've pointed out some Fnords to Legion... It fits in Anonymously. ;) To be honest… I’ll admit being a young Discordian that filled 4chan and Anonops with Discordian Catma to provide examples of Dada activism.

Any sightings of him since 1941 are results of his time-traveling activities or possibly drug use by the purported sighters. “Malaclypse the Younger, aka Gregory Hill (1941 – 200)”

I was a friend of Kerry for many years.  As with RAW and many others, eventually the voices in Kerry's head disallowed him to keep up our friendship.  But while it lasted he was a good friend and a good influence.
