CHAOKOKU 00005:
One More Reality Tunnel

Whenever RAW was doing book signings, an old man was always there though he never asked for a dedication. When everybody left, he left too. One day, however, he remained behind. RAW asked him, "Who are you?" The old man replied, "In the past, in the time of Emperor Norton, I lived on his estate as a servant. Once a visitor came and asked me, "Does the emperor truly believes in himself?" I said to him, "He does not." Because of this answer, I fell into the state of reality and truth since then. Now, I beg you, could you tell me what is the way back." RAW said, "Maybe." Upon hearing this, the old man scratched his crotch and excused himself for he had to go release some refuse he had been holding inside of him far too long".


CHAOKOKU 00000:
The Light and the Mindfuck of Discordia

Mal2 said, "When the light does not penetrate, everything is unclear and things hang before you. Only the blind see just as well whether the blinds are drawn or not. Whence you have realized the emptiness of all things, somehow you think there is still something there. Only the blind cannot be blinded by the light. For a Discordian, the light has not yet penetrated thoroughly. Only the blind truly know how to lead the blind, yet most leave this task off to someone else."

Lord Omar replied : "There are two mindfucks in Discordia. You have reached Discordia, but you remain attached to the Principia and cannot silence your own pineal gland; therefore you lead a happy, ordered, meaningful, life around Discordia – this is the first mindfuck. Then it follows, let’s suppose you have truly lost it. If you give up more sanity, it will not do, you examine yourself minutely and say you have no logic, no dogma, no order. Yet, you still think. This is the second mindfuck."


CHAOKOKU 00007:
Emperor Norton Plants the Hops & Barley Fields

Emperor Norton asked Minnie Rae, "Where have you come from? " Minnie said, "I have come from downtown San Francisco." The Emperor asked, "What are our servants toiling downtown these days?" Minnie said, "There is much lively discussion." Norton said, "How could that bring forward the planting of the hops and barley fields?" Minnie said, "How can you think such unsexy thoughts while you are with me" Norton asked, "What do you call 'thoughts'?"


CHAOKOKU 00008:
RAW's Blind Donkey

When RAW was about to die, he entrusted some publisher with his latest writings and said, "After my passing, do not adulterate the memory of my reality tunnel." The publisher said, "How
could I destroy the memory of your reality tunnel?" RAW said, "If someone asks you about it, how will you answer?" The publisher instantly recited the eight levels of consciousness. RAW thought, "One can always be sure that open doors cloister sheepish minds. Who would have guessed that flying pasta leads to underhanded folly. Now I know, one must have slack in hirself to give birth to a blind donkey?"


CHAOKOKU 00099:
Attendant Dubyu’s Missing Balls

Attendant Dubyu asked Emperor Norton, "Where have all the pasta gone?" The Emperor asked,
"What the fuck do you mean?" Dubyu continued, "I gave the command to clean up the mud and grubs, but there came out only more odds and sods." The Emperor was silent. The next day, when Emperor Norton came out of the bath, Dubyu rolled him a fatty. The Emperor passed his
hand gently over Dubyu's balls. Dubyu said, "This old fellow has gotten a glimpse of what is missing for the first time." Again, Emperor Norton was silent.
