Gasm

GASM stands for Golden Apple Seed Mission. GASMs are part of project Operation: Mindfuck, therefore the whole project is called OMGASM. It is a new Discordian buzzword that means "Assistance Requested". It refers to "Activitist" projects which would be more fun or effective if more people were involved. The OMGASM is an attempt to network with Discordians and other cool people so that they can share resources between cabals. If you are able, you should be doing jakes and pranks.
GASMGASM
GASMGASM is the GASM to spread moarGASMs. It is perhaps the most important part of OMGASM. If you have a great idea that the community can take part in, you better bring it to the table!
AbbyGASM
AbbyGASM is a Golden Apple Seed Mission in which we send concerned letters to advice columns (such as Dear Abby), whining about how loved ones have been sucked in by a Dangerous Cult Called Discordia. The goal of AbbyGASM is to manufacture a fake crisis and draw media attention to Discordianism. By causing advice columns across America (and elsewhere) to publish worried letters about Discordianism and the depraved ways of this crazy cult, greater media attention may be attracted, resulting in hilariously false publicity and exposure of many new minds to Discordianism.
EggGASM
The Erister Egg Hunt is an annual Golden Apple Seed Mission. The object of the game is to put crazy crap inside of plastic eggs and hide them for people to find on Easter.
When somebody finds an egg, maybe they'll laugh. Maybe they'll be weirded out. Maybe they'll have a conversation about it later. Maybe they'll hide some eggs too.
Sure, it's not exactly a new idea, per se. People have been hiding plastic eggs on Easter since the Triassic era. But instead of candy, fnords. Put stuff inside the eggs which you think it would be cool to find. What you put inside the eggs is really up to you.
LitGASM
LitGASM is a Golden Apple Seed Mission. The objective of the mission is to tag all "relevant" Discordian Works on the web, using del.icio.us to add the tags "discordian" and "litgasm" to any Discordian works found.
This idea was first proposed by Cramulus in the premier issue of Intermittens, and is a rather ambitious project.
Researching what Discordia was like in Olden Times (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago) is practically impossible, and it's difficult to dredge up information. We'd like to do future researchers a favor by making contemporary Discordian works easier to find.
PosterGASM
The Mission: Put up posters, flyers, and stickers in public places. Leave pamphlets and other literature in places where people will find them or see them. Upload them to flickr and tag them "POSTERGASM"
The Objective: Modify your environment. Reclaim public spaces. Surprise people out of their daily rut. Encourage creative thought.
YouGASM
YouGASM is a YouTube GASM channel, started by Davedim. It can be found here.
ColbertGASM
Discordians, Subgenii, and other ne'er-do-well members of the lunatic fringe have noted certain Discordian subtexts primarily present in shtick, but also to some extent in . References have been made to Illuminati and Discordian symbols - some subtle, some quit explicit. Some have noted that even Colbert's writers, without a show to write, had taken to jaking the public.
During the weeks that Colbert and Stewart were without writers, due to the 2008 Writers Strike, the Discordians sent as much snail mail to them as possible, so as to get their attention. Letters to Colbert invited him into the Illuminati. Letters to Stewart invited him into the Discordian Society. This is hailed as a success, because on February 28th, 2008, Stephen Colbert publicly joined the Bavarian Illuminati, which you can view here.
Intermittens
Intermittens is a periodic Discordian journal. Originally produced by the irreverant spags of the Peedy cabal, Intermittens is an expanding attempt to document some of the antics going on today in the Discordian Society. Every issue has a different editor. All content (unless otherwise marked) is from / for the public domain.
This project is an attempt to create an open source Discordian magazine. Anyone, even you, is encouraged to haphazardly throw together an issue of what you think is cool. People who have writing, graphic, and layout skills are needed, as well as people with the balls to edit their own issue of Intermittens and join the elite Editor Cabal. Do you have what it takes? No, you don't; none of us do. That's why it's a DIY magazines and not a professional one. And that's why more cooks are needed to foul the broth.
Intermittens is being published on a (roughly) monthly schedule.
