When all of a sudden, earlier last night, I got thinking about it, and
it finally landed on top of my head like a truckload of bricks.
HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES THAT SHIT.
He really believes that having a new-age wife who pours coffee up his
butt and a hare-brained theory of astral bodies and chip bodies and
Marshall McLuhan is going to cause him to live indefinitely.
Like most usenet kooks, I always tend to think that Bob Dean just
-can't- be serious. It has to be a joke. Nobody could be that
addle-noggined and still be able to type words on a keyboard.
But tonight the scales dropped from my eyes.
The man is utterly bugfuck. It's not a joke in any way.
He thinks his web site populated by five babbling ninnies like him is
going to change the world. He probably really believes that he
somehow psychically inspired the Church of the SubGenius. He probably
really believes that he is in posthumous psychic contact with Marshall
McLuhan. He probably really believes that he makes some form of
sense.
I'm not sure, IMBJR, if "thanks" is quite the word. But I really see
it now.

for a very limited definition of "the world", he's right, but you have
to limit that definition to the narrow space between his ears.
I lapsed in visiting alt.slack from around 1998 until about 2 years
ago, so I had remembered that there was a guy who claimed to be (or
inspired) "Bob", but I never paid it any attention. Needless to say,
being away from Usenet...I never heard a thing about this guy at all
ANYWHERE. Nowhere at all. He's NOTHING without the ability to spam
Usenet & YouTube with his nonsense. His babbling sustains a small
following in the same way that other k00ks have garnered success on
the internet that they could have never achieved by mailorder. He
married another one exactly like him, and they are co-dependent.
Anyhow, after revisiting alt.slack and figuring out who was who, it
didn't take long to single out Bob Dean as the k00k he actually is. On
the surface, I'd see him post something...anything... and all of you
would tear it (and him) apart. Being curious as to what he was talking
about, I asked him several questions and figured I'd give him a
chance. I even signed up for an account at Fivebodied.com (I have
since been banished for shenanigans & asking the wrong questions).
Every time I asked a question (in plain, easy to understand English)
I'd get some stupid reply where he babbled on about how I needed to
listen to all his audio recordings, read his tiny note chart, read
this & that article and watch this youtube and that youtube. None of
it makes any fucking sense, and I feel like I am a fairly broad minded
and intelligent person. I don't always have everything figured out,
but I can usually understand enough about something to get what's
being conveyed and I'm usually able to "appreciate" even the strangest
beliefs & opinions for what they are, even if I don't agree with them.
The problem is that this guy is 110% EGO DRIVEN and he's certainly one
of the "bad kind" of weirdo, not the "good kind". He is on his OWN
PLANET. His megalomaniacal & egotistical behavior is a surefire sign
of his mental deterioration. The most frustrating part is that even
his own "followers" over at fivebodied admit that they are still
studying his work in order to hopefully, one day, FIGURE OUT WHAT THE
FUCK HE'S SAYING. I guess when he's making up his own history,
phrases, etc., it's easy enough for him to change them any time
someone gets close to figuring him out so that he always appears to be
"smarter" than everyone else.
I have Bob Dean figured out, as most of you have figured him out
too.
But he is on the radio!
Or so I hear. Mostly from him, but that's what I hear.
> But he is on the radio!

> Or so I hear. Mostly from him, but that's what I hear.
Back when I was still trying to understand him, I watched a "TV
Interview" video from youtube (at his suggestion) where he was
basically sitting in a tent behind someone's parents house rambling on
about Zappa (imagine that). He even talks louder than whatever host
he's with and tries to commandeer each show as if it's his show and
the host is actually HIS guest... Any time the host suggests that they
might "get what he's talking about", he reminds them with big words
that he makes up on the fly that he's infinitely smarter and tosses
out some k00kology like "Quadrophrenia", "Chip Bodies" and "Android
Meme" to confuse them and get them off his trail. It appears that
every "television interview" has been conducted by some OTHER crackpot
with a public access show too, so it's not like he;'s really achieved
much there. The radio thing seems like it would have had potential
about 25 years ago if he would've added some diversity to his
discussions instead of stealing Subgenius text and peppering it with
talk of Zappa, McLuhan & LaRouche.

Yeah, I figured that out a couple years back.
Plus this: He hates us. He REALLY hates us. We're all that stands
between him and the recognition he (thinks he) deserves.
Indeed.

There's no need to figure out dean. Its as clear as ink on paper. Dean
is a dick-nosed asshole and a coffee enema enthusiast.
