It's unfortunately unknown how many chapters of the Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild were formed. While this one called itself the 5th, it was likely Earth's second chapter.
|
The tenth award dates to 1 January 1991, or 1 Chaos 3157. This is the first year it was given by Earth Chapter 5 of the Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild and the only year it wasn't given on 18 January. It was called the Triple Palindromic Pineapple Award, because they first gave it to three people (their founders) on 1 1 1991 (the month, day and year were all the same backwards; thus, a triple palindrome). Perhaps appropriately, this was the only year there were three winners.

Chapter 5 was formed by President Aladdin Sane (Chapter One alumnus), President of
Vice Uncle Arthur (aka Wet Willie) and Sexetary-Treasure Chest Queen Bitch--all
named themselves after David Bowie songs. And all three won the award this year
Aladdin Sane was a member of the original Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild who decided to
form a new chapter. Like many of the original ECGers, he was a roleplayer. While the
award was originally given on Robert Anton Wilson's birthday and original ECG member
Moondancer had been friends with WIlson's daughter Luna, Aladdin formed the first
chapter that was specifically tied to DIscordianism. This chapter was more-or-less also
a Discordian cabal.

A traveler, biologist, and human lie detector, Uncle Arthur was known for being
relatively quiet and then suddenly flinging an off-the-wall zinger. His moniker is
apparently based not only on the David Bowie song of the same name, but also on Paul
Lynde's character Uncle Arthur on American television's Bewitched. Like the David
Bowie character, he was a big fan of comics including Batman.

Fortunately, Queen Bitch is not missing but found the new O.P. herself. Formerly a
security guard, she was known for her ability to kick in doors. As she says,
unfortunately sometimes those who owned the doors didn't want them kicked down. She
claims to currently be a superhero who rides a horse and shoots lighting from her
lance. In her secret identity she is disguised as a somewhat mild-manner bioengineer,
specifically in cloning. If you want a backup for your aging cat Tittles, she's your
engineer.
