Happy St. Tib's Day!

[elfwreck]

St. Tib's day is a Discordian holiday that happens once every four years (except for century-years not divisible by 400 or something like that). The traditional celebration of St. Tib's Day involves dressing in brightly-colored exotic clothes and wandering around an airport, occasionally asking the staff to page someone who doesn't exist.

Back in the early 80's I was working at Advanced Micro Devices as a security guard. There was one lobby that doubled as the paging unit. We often got pages for a Mike Huntiches to call some particular number till the girl at the desk realized what she was saying...

It was hysterical, but she didn't think it was funny.

If it were me, I'd smile, glottal-stop after -ike, and exaggerate the aspiration of the H. HA HA I HAVE DEFEATED THE ERISIANS

I'm sure there are Mike Hunts out there who are not amused.

"Defeating the Erisians" is not what we consider a major accomplishment. Especially since Erisian efforts tend to be horribly disorganized, unfocused, and generally manage to defeat themselves. You don't get awards for it. (Hmmm. Maybe I should fix that. "Purple Chao Award, granted to ______ for astute and/or versatile greyfacery in the presence of extreme Discordian antics. This certificate bestowed in honor of the demolition of Erisian efforts on the day of Sweetmorn/Boomtime/Pungenday/Prickle-Prickle/Setting Orange, in the season of C/D/C/B/A in the Year of Our Lady 31___." Think I could sell 'em in packs of 50?)

Shhh! I defeated one hypothetical Erisian! I have to turn something in on this form to Aneristic Headquarters! OR ELSE!

Greyfacery awards would be awesome. Well, in a certain ironic context, they would be. :)
