rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
"Men are like tea - the real strength and goodness are not properly
drawn until they have been in hot water."
- Lillie Hitchcock Coit (1843-1929)

"Just presume I'm a paradox in an anomaly, and get on with your tea."
- from Doctor Who
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you recall the day I first came your way
And I had to know you
When you stepped in the way
And I smiled at you
Though I never meant to?
Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind.
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again.
- "Over and Over Again", Smithereens
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Empty and false are the hopes of the senseless,
and fools are borne aloft by dreams.
Like a man who catches at shadows or chases the wind,
is the one who believes in dreams.
What is seen in dreams is to reality
what the reflection of a face is to the face itself.
Can the unclean produce the clean?
can the liar ever speak the truth?
Divination, omens, and dreams all are unreal;
what you already expect, the mind depicts.
Unless it be a vision specially sent by the Most High,
fix not your heart on it;
For dreams have led many astray,
and those who believed in them have perished.
- Sirach, 34:1-7

THE FIVE COMMANDMENTS (THE PENTABARF)
The PENTABARF was discovered by the hermit Apostle Zarathud in the Fifth
Year of The Caterpillar. He found them carved in gilded stone, while
building a sun deck for his cave, but their import was lost for they
were written in a mysterious cypher. However, after 10 weeks & 11 hours
of intensive scrutiny he discerned that the message could be read by
standing on his head and viewing it upside down.
KNOW YE THIS O MAN OF FAITH!
I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no
Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian
Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden
Worm.
II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document
Numbering System.
III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off
Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive
Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of
Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork),
of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal),
and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the
Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.
V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.
IT IS SO WRITTEN! SO BE IT. HAIL DISCORDIA! PROSECUTORS WILL BE
TRANSGRESSICUTED.
Test Question from Topanga Cabal The Twelve Famous Buddha Minds School:
If they are our brothers, how come we can't eat them?
