MAGDALEN & JESUS NEED $LACK!
... because their child needs THEM!
You may have read about the child custody case of Rachel Bevilacqua,
aka Rev. Magdalen. Her 10-year-old son was taken away from her last
February because a New York family court judge thought that her
involvement with The Church of the SubGenius disqualified her for
motherhood. The horrible news is, even though the original judge is off
the case, THE CASE IS DRAGGING ON and she has been allowed very little
contact with her son. The state is paying for the father's lawyers,
because the father is a welfare case who never has a job, and that side
is deliberately prolonging the court sessions BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT
THE BEVILACQUAS, WHO BETWEEN THEM ARE WORKING FOUR JOBS, *DO* HAVE TO
PAY FOR THEIR LAWYERS.
Rachel has very good lawyers now, but they're very expensive, and they
want another $10,000 from her by LAST WEEK. Meanwhile, her husband
Steve, aka Rev. Jesus, has been tranfered by His employers to ENGLAND
-- which would be lots of fun IF HE COULD HAVE HIS FAMILY WITH HIM. But
Rachel cannot leave New York until she regains at least partial custody
of her child.
Friends, normally when I send out these letters it's because I'm
selling something -- some new holy SubGenius product. Well, our new
book will be out in October, and I will surely sell the Hell out of
that when the time comes. But right now I'm not selling anything. I'm
BEGGING for your money, for SOMEBODY ELSE -- for Rachel's legal fees,
so she can hurry up and get young "ConBo" back before he has to spend
YET ANOTHER 6 MONTHS IN THAT WRETCHED TRAILER COURT.
If you read any of the stories that have now been written about this
case -- and especially if you read the publicly available transcript of
the original abusive judge's outbursts -- you'll see that this is not
just another cute SubGenius money-making gimmick, but a serious fight
against a REAL THREAT. Magdalen is a degreed college graduate with a
long and responsible job history, a good income, no jail record, etc.
If her child can be taken away by a small local court just because
she's a SubGenius, THINK WHAT ELSE THEY COULD DO... MAYBE TO YOU.
Modemac's wikipedia page has the most concise history of the case and
the most complete collection of links:

This feisty weekly newspaper from the Rochester area has the most
scathing of many good articles about the case:

THE 'WHY A GOAT?' SHIRT: The brave and hardy administrators of Taphouse
IRC (the official IRC network of the Church of the SubGenius) have
begun a fundraiser for Magdalen's legal fund, by producing T-shirts
with a goat head logo and the quote "Why a goat?" (as was repeated by
the original judge in this case). These shirts are being sold for $20,
of which $8.10 of every sale will go directly to her legal fund. All
help is appreciated, and every little bit helps. The URL for the
fund-raiser is:

Needless to say, this has been unspeakably hard on Magdalen and Jesus.
The SubGeniuses at large, however, sure had a lot of fun at Judge
Punch's expense at our last X-Day drill. There are 4 Hours of Slack
online now that feature recordings from 9X-Day, but this week's show,
#1058, a Magdalen Case Fund-Raising, Punch-Bashing special with Dr.
Hal and other great ranters (also featuring Mag's shordurpersav band,
The Billy Nayer Show). Hour of Slack 1058:

While we're at it, this is a good place to mention THE HOUR OF SLACK
HOME SERVICE -- a 6-month subscription to weekly Hour of Slack CDs
delivered to your home! Only FIVE BUCKS PER SHOW. Sure you can download
it, or you can record it off the air if you're in one of the 17 cities
where it's carried (see website) -- but these are audio CDs made direct
from the masters, with 25 to 60 separate tracks so you can easily
isolate your favorite parts. You can specify X-Rated or Air-Safe
copies. I know, I said I wasn't selling anything. But, hey -- What
Would "Bob" Do?

NEW SUBGENIUS COMIC BOOK
It's free but it's only online... and it's our first photo-novella! We
turned the best photos from 9X-Day Drill into a "comic book" with
narration and dialog balloons. I've decided this is the most accurate
way to show what an X-Day Drill is REALLY like.

There's also a collections of text reports on 9X-Day, and also some
pages on Starwood 26, the big NY neopagan festival that always features
a big Devival.

Many of us preachers and harangue-ers still use the far more
interactive alt.slack for personal ranting.
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.slack
Be prepared to wade through a lot of obvious mal-aligned Normals and
"SubGenius Kooks." For many of us that's half the fun.
>Stang adds that while the custody battle has been grueling for the Bevilacquas,
>it's been great for the church. The membership-driven business has tripled in recent
>months. Whenever the custody battle is mentioned on a blog, he says he gets another
>50 or 60 orders at $30 apiece. "I've never made so much money," he says.
Hey, horror is great for religion. I've already been ordained, as has
my wife, my car, and my kid, yet this makes me want to go ahead and
ordain my house. I mean, first priority is to fundraiser swag, but what
the heck.
Makes me wish I still HAD some money! Poor my bank account!
Yeah, poor fuckin' MY bank account, too.
I'm reduced to selling all these unused condoms
that were supposed to be given out at Starwood
on the street corner.
Wanna buy some condoms? Condoms, anyone?
I'll give the money to Mags, I promise... $1.00
a pop. Looks like "Black Lifestyle Tuxedos,
expiration date August 2007"... buck a rubber!
buck a rubber! get your rubbahs here... money
goes to a good cause... geniune latex
prelubricated prophylactics... one dollah...
Pretty cheap for a rubber...sure! I'll buy. Oh, wait. Well, I've got
some change...
I just want to rent one, what's the price for that?

When a mommie and a daddy love each other very much, first, they go
into the bathroom together, then they take all of their clothes off.
Next, the daddy shoves a poodle up his rectum. Then, he pulls it back
out. Next, the mommy whistles at the poodle until it falls asleep.
Next, the mommy gets a newspaper and reads it. If she finds any
stories about fish, then she has a baby in her stomach.

Since they are "Tuxedos" I guess a $300.00
deposit and $30.00 a day will do.
