That would be the Doug that he doesn't think about (as he constantly
reminds us). My "human street name" is Doug Smith. Look me up -- I'm in
every phone book in every city!  It's no big secret, although I've been
using the somewhat more realistic-sounding pen name of Ivan Stang for
25 years.

Princess Wei, referenced in one of his other repeat-posts of the same
link, is my wife. His third header, regarding "Dr. Synaesthesia," is a
clumsy reference to Dr. Sinister of Synaesthesia Radio, a friend of
mine with whom I share air-time occasionally (his show follows mine in
the local broadcast, coincidentally with our Sunday night "IRC chat
devivals").

This Bob Dean guy has been angrily not thinking about me for a long
time, ever since I told him I didn't believe he was "Bob" Dobbs.

Imagine that. Me, the Sacred Scribe of the Church of the SubGenius, not
believing he's the real J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. He had driven all the way
from Toronto to Dallas to inform me of this, in 1988, so I can see how
he'd be disappointed when I urged him to find another fake name. He WAS
sitting in the same chair from which a previous insane visitor had
already announced that HE was the Messiah, however, so it wasn't like I
was hearing this sort of thing for the first time. I tried to be
polite, but Dean never got over that rejection.

If you want to look inside the real "purple", here's a very good and
representative recent interview with him, which he hasn't hawked here
-- oddly, since it's the only recent interview with him that I know of.

http://tinyurl.com/34mkw

Here's a link to his wife's health website -- you'll see how it relates
to that other link he posted repeatedly.
http://www.headnorth.com/dean/

But first you might want to see this, which throws a different light on
the subject.
http://tinyurl.com/2oms5
short version:
http://tinyurl.com/3cluf

I have no trouble admitting that I'm disgusted with this fellow, and I
would think the reasons would be pretty obvious. However, I consider
him more a mentally ill irritant than any kind of threat. It simply
creeps me out. I hate to be reminded that the sweet Word of "Bob" can
have such a ruinous effect on certain types of people.

Take a good look at him, and some of the other shrill nuts (not in the
GOOD way, I mean) on this newsgroup, and you'll see why The Book of the
SubGenius has warnings about false prophets, "Imabobs" and other
"Mal-Aligned Pinks." The warning is, "DON'T BECOME ONE."

To cut to the quick, here's my favorite part of Bob Dean's latest rap.
However, there are plenty of other glorious moments in the interview.
It's a crackpot classic, with all the true-kook elements that were
deliniated in the Aynhum thread, and then some. Don't miss his
pronouncements about Atlantis and Early Man.

*****************************

RG: Is Pointdexter's device of extra-terrestrial origin or is it
man-made?

BD: No, that machine is definitely man-made. McLuhan did confirm that
there was an alien stuck in the device, but the device itself was made
by Pointdexter's buddies.

RG: So could this device affect your perceptions to the point where you
might imagine you're being mind controlled when you're really not?

BD: Yes, exactly. You might start believing, "Oh, I've got a chip
inside me!" and thinking that's causing you to feel the way you're
feeling. I'm trying to say, "Don't use those old reference points
anymore." We're being zapped by things that are really beyond human
ken. I mean, Pointdexter and them don't know that they're creating
these affects and McLuhan showed up to this woman who could see ghosts
so she would find me. We started doing instant messaging, and because
I'm tapped they could see what was being said, and McLuhan was hoping
they would read it and say, "Oh, McLuhan's talking about the device
we're working on!" and then maybe become a little bit more aware of
what's really going on.

RG: So he specifically went to you because he knows you're being
listened to?

BD: I asked McLuhan, "Do they know it's the technology that's causing
their illnesses?" and he said, "No, but they are beginning to suspect
something's going on." Maybe they then read that and said, "Oh, it is
this!" And then they probably kicked the shit out of it, took a
baseball bat to it and said, "Fuckin' stop killing me!" Who knows what
they did?

RG: So they weren't aware there was an alien inside it?

BD: No, they did not know, but they would read this transmission and
that would give them a clue as to why they were feeling sick.
***********************************

(( Cue Twilight Zone music mixed with cuckoo clock sound effect.))

Note to Dean & Guffey: I now believe that Robert Guffey is a real
person, and that he's exploiting your obessions for fun. Making fun of
you. This interview shows you to be hilariously fucked up, and surely
Guffey knows it.

Note to everybody else: Of course the real proof that Dean is crazy is
that he doesn't believe that the world is going to end at 7 a.m. on
July 5, 1998.

Coffee enemas and Marshall Macluhan seances.

I don't mind the existance of idiots in the world, and all other
things being equal I would be happy to see them go on being idiots.
The punishment for being an idiot is being an idiot.  Your medical
license gets revoked, your radio program gets suspended, or whatever.

In my own life the only thought I have thunk about idiots at all is
that they seem to inevitably desperately need to latch onto somebody
who isn't an idiot, probably because they have radio programs which
aren't suspended and medical licenses which aren't revoked and other
things the idiot needs.

The idiot doesn't perceive the obvious, which is that if the
non-idiots allowed the idiot to latch onto them, the idiot would ruin
the non-idiot as surely as the idiot ruined himself.  He doesn't see
this because he's an idiot.

I don't do long drives. We flew into Dallas from L.A. on Oct. 27/88 after
helping to organize Mae Brussell's archive for a week and then attending her
funeral in Carmel on Oct.7 or so, and subsequently spending 2 weeks at Gerry
Fialka's home in Venice. Bob Marshall had done his famous interview with
Zappa on Oct.21-22 which I attended. And I remember calling you from Gerry's
to set up our second meeting (the first was accidental in Feb., 1978).
During that phone call you requested I find out what Zappa thought of your
Church. We took the Book of the SubGenius to him for Marshall's interview
and left it on his coffee table. He was rewriting his autobiography at that
time since he wasn't happy with Peter Ochiogrosso's version. He subsequently
mentioned the Subs in the final version. But what I'm most proud of is the
fact he ended the book with the data (in relation to AIDS) which I gave him
from the book, A HIGHER FORM OF KILLING.

I never said to you at our meeting that I was J. R. "Bob" Dobbs. You assumed
I believed that and said if there really was a J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, then I was
the closest to what you had in mind (I didn't know what exactly you meant
and you didn't specify, and being indifferent I didn't pursue the matter).

You did kindly show me your copy of the famous show of OUTER LIMITS
featuring the XANTES (I think that was their name). What struck me at the
time was that it was dated right around Nov.22/63. You could check if you
still have it.

I didn't smoke the frop you offered.

But we did share a meal at some local favorite restaurant of yours or your
wife's.

You didn't tell me to change my name. You may have felt that but didn't say
it to me directly. You may have said it to others, including Myke Dyer. But
Myke, the host of the show I was a biweekly guest on for 4 years (1987-91),
certainly knew my name was not fake so he must have demurred. And the show
went on.

Your former wife thought Connie was "a real treasure" and greatly
appreciated the homeopathy information (about a homeopath in Texas she could
get in touch with) that Connie gave her.

Overall you were a very gracious host.

So there you have it - the facts of that momentous occasion.

Bob Dobbs

P.S.  This meeting is not to be confused with the one you had with Bob
Marshall (or perhaps you thought it was "Bob Dean") which Dave Newfeld joked
about in his letter to STEREO REVIEW (I think, I'm not near my archives
right now) in early '93.

100,000 years from now, human society will undoubtedly be so different
from contemporary society, so different in technology, social
structure, and world view, that our day-to-day thinking and activity
will be as obscure and incomprehensible to them as the workings of
neanderthal man are to us today.

Why did one group of them fly an airplane into a building occupied by
members of this other group?  Why did the other group fight a war in
Iraq?  Why are they so intently focussed on a small group of religions
known as "political parties"?  Why did they elect a chimpanzee as
their ruler?

And WHAT is the Church of the Subgenius?

Because by that time, we will all have long-since flown away on the
metal space craft of the X-Beings and won't be there to explain it.

What was this strange fringe religion?  Did they REALLY NOT NOTICE
that it's holy man was cut out of a comic book?  Did they really have
all the answers after all?

And they won't know the answers to these questions.  Outside of a few
obscure specialists operating in little-travelled byroads of their
academia, there will be nobody who will even comprehend the questions.

But if they do manage to reconstruct our society at all.  If they even
CARE one way or another.  If some genius among them is able to
reactivate the crude electrically-fired magnetic artifacts which were
our storehouse of knowledge, and to make sense out of the binary
patterns encoded into them.  If they can catalog the Internet and from
that see where so much activity was centered during a few decades of
their second millenium.  And if in the process they are able to watch
the day to day conversations and theological debates which constitute
the Church of the Subgenius.  And in doing so, some single soul from
the year 189,843, alone but entranced in watching the very thought
process of this strange but stirring long-forgotten race of another
world happens to notice Bob Dean among them,

While he will not really grasp in any deep way the overall meaning of
the times or our politics or beliefs or religion, Dean will present no
mystery at all to him.

"What an asshole", he will think.  "A waste of time, and nothing else"

And on that point, if none other, he will be correct.

What a nice story! Now tell us that one about Jesus rising from the
dead on the third day.

I wonder if wasting time will seem a virtue or a vice to this
'person', or whether those notions will be similarly obscured by time.

In fact, I wonder if they'll still have assholes, and how they'll
interpret our habit of referring to each other as 'assholes'.

"It seems they occasionally realized they were mere sphincter-valves
for vast storms of generalized hostility.......... they were engaged
in fierce propaganda battles for the eventual decision whether to
remake humans with no need for excretion.  This paradoxical church
seemed to celebrate excretion as a religious sacrament, while
simultaneously often denouncing their peers as agents of the Shitting
Plague.............."

Can't remember? Too much frop, eh? Well, just take another look at the
pictures posted on alt.binaries.slack last fall.

Meanwhile, for your reptilian brain, one story is true and one isn't. Take
your pick. But thank you for the associations. They subsume the differences.
