I stumbled across these blokes while googling the word
"Enigmatist", which I thought I had perchance invented. No such luck, although anymore, it's a matter of
"an infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of typewriters".
They're similar to the
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which was previously reviewed
here. These guys seem place a bit more emphasis on personal zaniness than the
CotFSM, who are more about confronting
the idiocy of Intelligent Design being presented as Science.
The website of the
SDotE is at
www.enigmata.com . Be sure to
"Meet The Flock" while you're there.

Okay, well maybe your acronym wasn't quite as complementary as I thought, then. ;)
I've heard of that flying spaghetti monster thing before from a guy whose blog I read, but I always thought he was just talking concept and not quoting a concept that had been structured by someone else. Weird.
no, no! it was only this morning that i googled it. your Balderdash acronym was a great enigma, and i was quite proud that i came up with "enigmatist".
language is an ever-evolving entity. but its raison d'être is to communicate. i was pretty sure that enigmatist wasn't a word, but i thought it described you quite well.
alas, the SDoeE zanies had already coined it, and given it a different connotation. but that doesn't mean i can't give it a different meaning.

Hey, don't look at me, I make up my own words all the time. :)
there was also a website at www.enigmatist.com but it was an abandoned puzzle site (no entries since 2006), and didn't make near as good of a story as the Enigmata folks.
