Episode notes

Riordan: thornly was one of the only skitfrantic they knew who could sometimes switch that off and laugh about himself, you know. Sometimes he'd bring up these really wild conspiracy theories, whether he was serious or not. Riordan: A lot of folks really hit that psychotic break, gets a phrenic thing. And almost, i just wonder if maybe he was so free spirited that he was able to ou ko,. He didn't have a lot of repression that led to a lot of symptoms, perhaps, because he was soFreespirited.

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.

From AdamGorightly.com:
Adam Gorightly has been chronicling fringe culture for two decades. His articles have appeared in nearly every 'zine, underground magazine, counter-cultural publication, and conspiratorial website imaginable. 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.'
