And now, a reading from the Principia Discordia (Hail Eris)

"The human race will begin solving its problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously."

And now a not so serious question: Stephen Colbert: Discordian or SubGenius?

Discuss.

I'm going with Discordian.

The delight with chaos would certainly indicate so, but his appearance and lean toward satire has certain SubGenius tendencies.

[radioactiveart.livejournal.com]

His appearance notwithstanding, I'm thinking the chaos far outweighs it.

Also -- is it satire if it's so damn truthy?

Not to mention the fact that someone who looks that much like "Bob" couldn't POSSIBLY be a SubGenius -- and he sure as shit ain't no "Bobbie."

SubGenius.
He'd look good with a pipe.

Also, you know this is like asking heads or tails, right?
It is still the same coin.
Except when it isn't.

Also, nice spelling.

Also, I have gifts for you.

Also, I want to go to the Lightning Fields in New Mexico.
Remind me of that some time.

Is it a religion masquerading as a joke, or a joke masquerading as a religion? Or a religion masquerading as a joke masquerading as a religion. Or vice versa?

Ahem.

But he would look good with a pipe. And a smoking jacket. There should be a lobbying effort.

Also, I have gifts for you, also, but they've gone off in a box to Beth, because I was having packing issues and combining made sense.

And the lightning fields of New Mexico would be fabulous.

SubGenius, because anyone who uses tailored suits the way he does knows the value of slack.

The SubGenius must have slack. Colbert strikes me as quite taut.

Re: yes but

[ocvictor.livejournal.com]

Hmmm ... the character definitely has slack, though, what with the not reading books or researching opinions.

On the other hand, the having his minions get bridges and school mascots named after him? Very Discordian.

Colbert: SubGenius
Stewart: Discoridan
