*****The Myth of the Apple of Discord:
It seems that Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a troublemaker*.
This made Eris angry, and so She fashioned an apple of pure gold** and inscribed upon it KALLISTI (“to prettiest one”) and on the fete She rolled it into the banquet hall then left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.
Now, three of the invited goddesses,*** Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, each immediately claimed it to herself because of the inscription. And they started fighting, and they started throwing punch all over the place and everything.
Finally Zeus calmed things down and declared that an arbitrator must be selected, which was a reasonable suggestion, and all agreed. He sent them to a shepherd of Troy, whose name was Paris because his mother had a lot of gaul and had married a Frenchman; but each of the sneaky goddesses tried to outwit the others by going early and offering a bribe to Paris.
Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offered him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him The Most Beautiful Woman On Earth. Being a healthy young Trojan lad, Paris promptly accepted Aphrodite’s bribe and she got the apple and he got screwed.
As she had promised, she maneuvered earthly happenings so that Paris could have Helen (the Helen) then living with her husband Menelaus, King of Sparta. Anyway, everyone knows that the Trojan War followed when Sparta demanded their Queen back and that the Trojan War is said to be the first war among men.
And so we suffer because we suffer because of The Original Snub. And so a Discordian is to partake of No hot dog buns.
Do you believe that?
________________________________________________________________
*This is called THE DOCTORINE OF THE ORIGINAL SNUB.
**There is historic disagreement concerning whether this apple was of metallic or acapulco gold.
***Actually there were five goddesses, but the Greeks did not know of the Law of Fives.

Formed in late 2005 when Jared overheard Cale talking to someone at an Oblio Joes blowout about wanting to start a band. Cale and Jared exchanged numbers. Greg answered Cale's "band wanted" ad at Ear Candy Music. They met with the ghost of Paul Harvey above the Top Hat and started to rock. The gods all agreed, fate must bring them together and make them rock Missoula and surrounding areas. We are not associated with Discordianism unless we are, or aren't we? And so it goes.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

Just Letting You Know , If You Sent Me A Comment ,Yes I Am Replying To The Comments Although It Will Take Some Time , LOL , Thanks x
Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm
HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:
Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.
If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.
If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su
