Robert Shea in 1977 (via Wikipedia).
I have been participating in the online discussion group for The Sex Magicians over at the Jechidah blog, and I thought I would mention something there that I noted in a blog comment over there. The sex novel, made available last year by Hilaritas Press, has a reference to Robert Shea.
One of the characters in The Sex Magicians, in Chapter Seven, is named "Josh Dill." He's an editor at Playboy magazine.
Shea of course was a Playboy editor, working on the Playboy Forum (as was RAW). And "Josh the Dill" was Shea's Discordian name. See the Adam Gorightly blog post, "The Early Discordians Revealed!"

In the novel, "Josh Dill" is an editor not at Playboy, but at the Playboy-substitute Pussycat magazine.
But thank you Tom for spotting this wink to Bob Shea in the Sex Magicians, his Discordian name was new to me.
Yes, that's correct. Hugh Hefner's real name isn't used either.....
