And, what's a fnord? It's simple:

"Don't see the fnords and they won't eat you"
That's what I've heard the wisemen say
But I can't get away from those beasties
There's just no fucking way.

No one can be told what the fnords are....

The fnord is all around you.
You feel it when you wash your hands.
You feel it when you pay your taxes...

cait987 · 01-23-2004, 09:49 PM

Im not sure what a fnord is but I own a friendly ford haha hmm but as far as I can see everyone has seen a fnord if you go through the entire list redlemon posted ><

Fire · 01-24-2004, 12:03 AM

And (not or) all hail Eris- all hail discordia

And, if you wish, hail Bob. Slack for everyone!

Tophat665 · 01-24-2004, 07:07 PM

Yes and no. I think it's gotten a lot more sophisticated than fnord at this point, and I think I've seen some of that going on.

vapusforever · 01-24-2004, 07:40 PM

Im totally lost. Maybe im just a retard, but i still have no idea what "fnords" are after reading everything...

Tophat665 · 01-24-2004, 08:04 PM

If you are totally lost reading this thread, then you have never read the Illuminatus! trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. They explain fnords in pretty close detail.

For those of you who have seen the Fnords, or at least felt them, have you seen the squinks?

Redlemon · 01-26-2004, 02:12 PM

centie is a pink.

rev_skarekroe · 01-30-2004, 11:18 AM

skier · 01-31-2004, 04:37 PM

TerresqueÜ · 02-01-2004, 07:48 PM

My brain hurts....this seems a bit too surreal.
