hen I read the first issue of Intermittens, a project with which I was completely unaffiliated at the time of its publication, I realized that my friends at PDCOM were on to something. In the time since the Black Iron Prison booklet and its various spinoffs were produced, we had been plagued by countless false starts on new projects. We couldn't really get anything off the presses, and it was frustrating because many of us had pl en ty to sa y, it ju st wa sn 't ma te ri al iz in g in to anything very satisfying. B ut t he n In t er m it te ns s tr u ck , pr et ty m u ch without warning, and it was more than just a 30- page compilation of recent Discordian literature. Although it covered lots of topics, it was so me ho w co he re nt an d se lf -c on ta in ed . It wa s what I thought had been sorely lacking in Discordianism, or at least my corner of it, for too l o n g : a n t a n g i b l e e x p r e s s i o n o f p o p u l a r Discordian culture. Of co u rs e, s in ce I w as so im pr es se d by t hi s project, I promptly latched onto it and declared my ed it or sh ip fo r th is , se co nd in st al lm en t of Intermittens. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out to be just a bad sequel. I've taken a lot of time and in ve st ed a lo t of ef fo rt in to ma ki ng th is is su e more than a laem copy of the last one. Great moments can never really be replicated anyway, especially in Discordia. The focus for this volume of "Diarrhea Discordia" is on what comes close to defining the indefinite "Discordianism." You'll find some pieces dealing directly and specifically with our little movement but you won't find any simple answers here. Di sc or di an is m ca n be ju st ab ou t an yt hi ng to anyone, but I've included examples here that I th ink sh ar e so me im po ss ib le to de fi ne qu al it y that highlights the spirit of Discordia. --
