I'd have thought you would have given me a heads up on this but instead I had to read it over at Unfettered Mormon. Discordian Society to Canonize Gordon B. Hinckley
Maybe if I keep reading about this Discordian stuff I can start to understand it. But it kind of makes my brain cramp, you know.

Just remember, as a sacrement, and proof of devotion to my faith, I have to believe five impossible things before breakfast. (Which, honestly, explains how I ended up working in hospitality for 11 years.)
The real key to understanding Discordianism is to understand the three-fold nature of life. Life is beautiful, life is horrifying, and life is absurd. Once you've got that nailed, eating no hotdog buns makes as much sense as anything.

| That sounds like church every Sunday! Sheesh, I'm Discordian and didn't even know it!

Should I mention that you're also Pope?
Of course, so am I. And all the members of the board. And, well, all the people of the earth. And probably even Pixie and Marmel (even I'm dubious about Stranger).

The big pointy one. The skull cap would flatten my spikes.

Wonder what kind of mileage it gets. Can you see the Popemobile pulled up to a gas station and the Pope pumping his own self-serve to save a few $$?

Oh, that reminds me, Margo. I heard a couple of the regulars at the store discussing the ups and downs of polygamy the other day. One of them concluded it would be a net positive because "they'd be Mormon wives, so they'd be really obedient."
You know, I honestly think one of the main reasons I never do well in customer service is my unwillingness to not laugh at people.

Don't worry, dear. I defended your honor.

a friend of mine at work's husband just can't wrap his brain around the whole polygamy thing. He can't understand why any sane man would want to put up with more than one wife. |

(This link was posted on another forum and labeled "This Woman is a Badass". The video is pretty good, too. Mormon women are not pushover sissies.

Oh, and so I don't get any more complaints, yes George Carlin has been declared a Discordian saint. Yes, I'm the one who did the declaring, but then again, I'm Pope, so whadyagonnado?
I've personally started praying to him. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of job he'll find for me.
