Episode notes

The discordianism is the worsip of the greek goddess of chaos and discord. It was kind of a basic thing to spoof and satire other najure religionions. The reason they'd meet in bowling alleys basically because it was a place where tean agers could get away with buying alcohol if one of them looked old enough.

In this episode, we chat with writer and historian Adam Gorightly on the life, work and ideas of Kerry Thornley, aka Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or simply Lord Omar, Jesse Sump, the Grand Caliph of California, and Ho Chi Zen; author of Zenarchy and The Idle Warriors; co-founder of Discordianism and co-author of the Principia Discordia.

Bringing a mischievous sense of Prankster-Discordianism to the zany world of fringe culture, once Gorightly connects his dots, readers are plunged into alternative universes which forever alter their view of 'reality.'
