S. John Ross

S. John Ross (Pope Leo) and Adam Gorightly were both admitted to the Order of the Pineapple on 18 January 2013.

Background
S. John Ross (Pope Leo, aka Patriarch Wilhelm Leonardo Pesher-Principle) is the author of Novus Ordo Discordia, the Gospel of St. Pesher the Gardener and Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS Warehouse 23. He created Risus and a great number of fonts, some used by major corporations. He is the “foreplayer” (foreword writer) for the first edition of Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht. Also know as Patriarch Wilhelm Leonardo Pesher-Principle, he was a major contributor to Apocrypha Discordia, likely the first (and often considered one of the best) Discordian work of the 21st century.

Acceptance
"Since I’m supposed to swear an oath, I’ll solemnly swear to minimize my indulgence in solemnity. I furthermore swear to mention this award most often to those who have even less idea what it means than I do, in the hopes of dislodging bits of blandness from their souls, opening their eyes to bizarre wonders, and possibly getting them into bed."
