- Hey kids and campers,
- As promised, here is the ticket to weirdness - the Principia
- Discordia can be ftped from quartz.rutgers.edu, underneath the
- directory pub/subgenius. Also accessible there are things from the
- SubGenius of Bob and other oddities.
- The hard copy is orderable from Loompanics Unlimited, P.O. Box
- 1197, Port Townsend, WA 98368. It is order number 88025, and costs
- $6.95. Unfortunately, there is a $3 shipping charge for 1-3 books -
- so you may want to request the catalog and stock up on other
- interesting tidbits that they have.
- Some notes on Loompanics: their catalog is quite large,
- described as "unusual" books - so unusual that they need a disclaimer
- in the front that the catalog is NOT to be seen by children, that
- "all titles are sold for informational purposes only," and that
- people should be aware of their geographic areas confiscation laws
- before ordering. So what do they have that's so bad? you may ask?
- Here's some of their topics sold: The underground economy; making
- money; tax avoision (sic); privacy and hiding things; fake id; brig
- brother; conducting investigatios; crime and police science; frauds
- and con games; computer crime; locks and locksmithing; ninja; self-
- defense; revenge; guns; knives; silencers; bombs and explosives;
- guerrilla warfare; murder and torture; survival; head for the hills;
- self-sufficiency; gimme shelter; health and life extension; paralegal
- skills; sex drugs and rock and roll; intelligence increase; science
- and technology; heresy/weird ideas; anarchism and egoism; real
- creation; mass media; self-publishing.
- Some more notes on Principia: Full title - Principia Discordia
- *or* How I found Goddess and what I did to her when I found Her:
- Wherein is explained Absolutely Everything Worth Knowing About
- Absolutely Anything. From the catalog - Is it a joke disguised as a
- religion or a religion disguised as a joke? Some sample quotes - "We
- look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids
- (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is
- a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we
- view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grids and thereby
- understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID. That is the Aneristic
- Principle" - the Sacred Chao. " The Hell law says that Hell is
- reserved exclusively for them that believe in it. Further, the
- lowest Rung in Hell is reserved for them that believe in it on the
- supposition that they'll go there if they don't" - the Gospel
- According to Fred, 3:1, from the Honest Book of Truth.

- Enjoy, all you heretics,
