You can still get an additional discount on the already discounted $20.00 $15.00 cover price but you'll need to respond by 18 January 2013 date extended to 14 February 2013. Send an email identifying yourself to edcheap@loveshade.org by then and see yourself in print! (Note: we'd give contributors one for free but we can't get the books free either! Something about the book's publisher Anaphora Literary Press wanting to make money or something). One of these World Naked Bike Ride celebrants is an offspring of one of the original Ek-sen-triks.

Reasons To Go Discordian: Part 3
There's a little western Zen parable there. The Buddha says that suffering comes from desire. But if you can enjoy things without being attached to them (and avoid things without fearing them), you won't be as likely to enter batshit feral grabass territory when you see the golden apple. Eris is like a trickster Buddha, rolling apples and watching the show (BTW, I know firsthand that Eris rides bikes with Lao Tzu). And I like that because Buddha isn't a god, he's a symbol that even us shitty mortals can find Nirvana. And Eris is a symbol too. For what, that's up to you.
