23Skidoo, I'm New.

Hi, ATS.

I am going to call myself Xoanon. I was finally led to sign on to ATS because of the strange noises heard all over the world but I have been reading ATS threads and posts for entertainment and information for quite some time now.

I was especially intrigued by member zeeon's thread concerning the Conklin, Alaska hoax. I have to say that those noises were pretty upsetting, but having someone with skills picking them apart helps.

I am also interested in writing, folklore and mythology, philosophy, science fiction and information technology. Most of my reading lately has had to do with Sociology, which is a special interest of mine as well.

I was brought up on stuff like the Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and began to identify at a very early age as a Discordian. It has been a long life of leg-pulling and I am now a Discordian Pope, but that is another story for another time and maybe a thread.

So I love a good conspiracy theory and I am also shook up by a good UFO story.

Generally speaking I am not unconvinced that astral larvae are not sucking our life essence or that the Empire ever ended. have I found the right place?

And so thank you for having me. I hope that I am able to get to know some of you that have similar interests.

I will leave you with a question.

I love the novels of Philip K. Dick. In his Valis trilogy, the character Horselover Fat, postulates that;

'The Empire never ended".

I was wondering if any of you had ever heard that before, ATS? And what you think it might mean?

To me, sometimes, I take it very literally; I take it to mean that the Roman Empire never ended, and that the Greeks were the Empire before that. I think that it has also to do with society all being in lockstep, and dangerously so.

What do you think?

Greetings my Brethren,

Thank you for gracing my introduction thread.

Any favourite Discordians of old or new?

This is getting fun so fast.

In your avatar you look like the long foretold Fnordian Princess that was hinted at over jalapeno poppers by Malaclypse the Elder back in '01 at Chili's.

it was said she would come bearing tentacles and ennui.

Welcome Xoanon...

Good intro, and look forward to your posts...

Tentacles and ennui are the new loaves and fishes.

I don't expect folks will much appreciate that particular miracle. And the congregation said, "Ew."

I am actually really down with the tentacles and ennui. Have we met? 11th century? South of what is now called France? Here you go...



Tentacles, ennui.......................and meatballs.

At a cheese-making seminar. Even then, before we knew them as the French, they were milking anything that lactated and cranking out evil smelling cheese.

We learned how to milk a platypus. Did you know the platypus doesn't have nipples? It's true. They sweat the milk out. The only way to milk a platypus is to make it anxious. We eventually settled on alternating air-horn blasts with snide comments about its weight.

reply to post by Eidolon23


Your memory is stunning. You must be a Pope as well (?).

To consider the plight of the poor platypus. I would not want to be a lactating platypus, that's for sure. Yet we milked them there together in the warm afternoon sun, under the harsh regime of the Merovingian overlords, forced to work the platypus farms.

I see now. I see the Fnord.

P.S. I am so sorry, Princess Eidolon, that your image was removed, I am not sure I understand why. See you around I hope.

Yeah i just disembarked from this strange submarine, when i say disembarked i mean fell off into the ocean.

There was this dude in a dress..erm....Hagbard Celine Dion i think he said his name was...it's all a bit fuzzy.

And this huge Apple with a hole in it, i think his name was Steve or was it Blow, well we won't go there again.

Mind blown to a Psychonautic pulp, it's Chaos out here.

Well welcome to the sh*t hole of the universe. I hope that you & everyone else's able to get that strange noise taken care of before it's too late, cuz it's prolly just a brain tumor in your ear or something...

Oh & hail Eris.

Lucky me with my fresh mind!

I loved the Hagbard-Celine-Dion joke and I am sponging down the keyboard. Don't drink and ATS, I guess.

Now that I think of it aren't you supposed to provide some semiotic token of warning before throwing one of those? Like they say Fore! in golf? Fnord!
