I’ve just posted a new entry on the 2nd edition of the Nuclear Platypus Biscuit Bible!

http://unurthed.com/2008/05/22/so-bleats-the-nuclear-platypus/

I had a copy of this most holy of texts which I purchased from Salt of the Earth in Columbia, Mo and loathe the day it was ripped (or er, misplaced) from my uneducated hands.

Now everyone can once again bathe in the glorious light of all that is just this side of sane!

Thanks for bringing this back to print! Cows are WAY more smarter than humans! Viva la Revolucion!

Sorry, your last comment was stuck in my spam folder; I just now noticed and rescued it.

Congrats on the new edition!

Have to admit, the first time you mentioned the impending publication of a full-length Bible, I thought you were joking (a good ol’ Discordian mind-fuck).

Pleased indeed that I was wrong.

The new edition is out now, as of this week, 212 pages in either hardcover or softcover. It’ll be available via Borders, amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and bookstores nationwide by the end of March, or can be ordered from this site now:

The Divine Arglebargle website will be up and finished by the end of January:

Hope all’s well,

I’m looking forward to purchasing the expanded edition when it becomes available this winter.

Sorry re: the delay in responses… My first semester of teaching starts on Monday and I’ve been hectically busy.

Anyway… I haven’t had time to locate copy of Chaosmosis yet; I’ll let you know if i come across one. I might end up having to send it to you as a .pdf file.

I’ve printed out a couple of manuscript copies of the newly-revised Biscuit Bible. Drop me an email with your mailing address if you’d like a copy. It’s the complete version, with graphics in place and everything (it’s basically the finished book, but without the final cover, and it’s stapled rather than properly bound).

More later when things calm down.

Chaosmosis: now THAT’s what I call hyperactive hermeticism — can’t wait. :)

The Importance of Living: rather than esoteric, it is extraordinarily ordinary, e.g., the chapter “on sitting in chairs”. Lin was a modern-day Daoist with a Discordian’s sense of play. I’m sure you’ll love it.

Trade you for it — C for TIOL? :)

I’ll see what I can do about Chaosmosis… I don’t think I have any copies left, but half my stuff’s still in boxes so I’ll see if I come across a copy. If not I could email you a .pdf file or somesuch.

It’s almost unreadably dense and kinda sketchy in spots, but given your interests (at least as shown on your site) you might get into portions of it, as it was an attempt to map the seven days of the chemical marriage of Christian Rosenkreutz onto the seven days leading up to the winter solstice of 2012, the eschatological end-date posited by Terence McKenna et al., divided into three books (Salt, Sulphur & Mercury), which are broken up into five chapters for the five elements (earth, air, fire, water & spirit, and their accompanying representative platonic solids). As you might imagine, such a convoluted construct begins to teeter precipitously… :)

Blah blah etc.; now that the Biscuit Bible revision is finished I’m contemplating doing a Chaosmosis revision to see if, 15 years later, I can somehow manage to make it readable. But that’ll take a while, so in the meantime I’ll see if I can scrounge up a copy.

And, er, consider any emergent inklings of cockiness herewith excised, Han Solo. ;)

BTW: never heard of The Importance of Living… based on some preliminary googling it looks interesting? Is it worth picking up?

Thanks for filling us in — a pleasure to meet the man behind the god.

Btw, my copy’s weathered the years tucked between Lin Yutang’s The Importance of Living and RAW’s Cosmic Trigger. Don’t get too cocky. :)

Btw2, saw mention of Chaosmosis on Invisibilia. Any way to get a copy?

Anyway, glad to see interest from folks, and hi Kent!

I’ve recently finished thoroughly revising the Biscuit Bible, getting rid of stuff that no longer worked, polishing up bits here and there and adding tons of new material. The revised version clocks in at 112 pages (as opposed to 48 pages for the 1990 version), with new chapters, new graphics, new appendices and so on. It’ll be out this winter in both soft- and hard-cover, through amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and tons of smaller places too.

If anybody wants to contact me please feel free to do so at god.biscuit@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hope that helps you searchers.

It definitely has its moments; though age has made them fewer. :O

P.S. Are you from Missouri? I seem to remember it being a locally published thing.
