Every time the breeze blows my door pushes the Illuminatus trilogy out
of the way and then slams shut again. I hate that book.

I have strong suspicions regarding Nenslo and the Multinational Mormon
Moped Monopoly! And not just based upon personal conjecture, but hard
evidence, which I am not at liberty to divuldge as I must protect my sources.

Suffice it to say that Nenslo has no shadow, and neither casts a reflection in a mirror!
Oh, he can conjure a shadow, but if a bird flies through that umbra of evil, it perishes.

Mephistophlian moped monger!

I sold the 3-in-1 trade paperback for $5. I got $3 for the Book of the
SubGenius.

Make of that what you will. Or not.

well ... actually yes... since you asked.
but just to clarify..
i would like to amend my rather daft statement so that it reads...

i do not agree with the *subject line* of this post.

specifically i do not agree that "the illuminatus trilogy sucks".
unless of course it's usefulness as a doorstop is the only criteria on which
it's being judged.
in which case...
yes, it does suck for that particular purpose.
i'd like to suggest that as an alternative one might share the books with a
latent mutant who is ripe for a good skullfucking and find something with a
little more mass to prop the door open.

I agree. I bought all three of them at Goodwill for a dime each and
STILL felt ripped off.

Nenslo is a greasy little liar. He reads the part about the submarine and
jerks his gerkin 'til it's squirtin'...

ok, well, puffing dust, anyway.

Your own fault. If you'd bothered to look when you bought 'em, you'd have
seen there weren't any pictures to color.

They make good bedtime stories... get someone who owns a biohazard suit to
read them to you.

Hi Folks!!!

Recently obtained a signed copy of RAW's "The Illuminati
Papers." Was told by the person giving it to me 'Be careful,
It's a very dangerous book.'

Imagine My suprise when I discovered that the layout and
graphics are suspiciously similar to "The Book Of The
Subgenius!?!"

I wouldn't say it, or any other RAW sucks, Per Se...

It's Entertainment, as far as I'm concerned.

Shit, if it'd had pictures to color, I WOULDN'T have felt as ripped off.

I feel I must step in and defend the Illuminatus Trilogy!

Firstly, it is a GOOD book on many levels, not the least of which is,
as mentioned, as a doorstop. It is also very educational, though, or
WAS anyway, to a 23 year old dumbass who didn't know ANYTHING at ALL
about "secret societies" or "conspiracies". I found it in a Skaggs
Drugstore -- picked it up because it had a monster on the cover that
looked like that sinister Eye in the Pyramid that I'd always wondered
about.

Now, "Bob" Dobbs didn't need the two Pope Bobs' book to be Emaculated,
but I double-dog PROMISE every man jack of ye gathered here today, that
had there not been an Illuminatus Trilogy, I would never have collected
kook pamphlets, met Philo, or heard of Dobbs, and, well, that's a
"what-if" question for The Universe Next Door.

Sure, the Illuminatus Trilogy reads like a hodge-podge of interoffice
joke memos with a ridiculous, forced plot applied to it after the fact,
because that's exactly what it is. Bob Wilson and Bob Shea were working
at Playboy in Chicago and the Illuminatus trilogy is what they did with
the WEIRD-ASS MAIL that Playboy was bombarded with. Plus they mixed in
any nutty inside joke they could from many other buddies, such as Greg
Hill and Kerry Thornley's "Discordian" material. Plus, they were
smoking WOG HEMP the whole time, and it WAS, after all, the 1960's, the
Playboy Mansion, I mean, come ON.

Pope Bob Wilson and the late Bob Shea have both written many varied and
different kinds of books since; it was a one of a kind experiment. I
thought it was far more entertaining than it was infuriating. Mostly I
considered it an invaluable NONFICTION REFERENCE BOOK at the time.

Maybe the Illuminatus Trilogy looks "old" and "stupid" to some of you
jaded nose-picking brats, but to this stupid old preacher, it was as
good as a Bible, in 1976. In fact, I'd have to say that my copy of that
book is indeed as hi-lighted and ripped-off as my old Bible.

So you CRITIC-BOYS can make doorstop jokes all you want, but me and
Pope Bob will keep on writing BOOKS, thank you very much. Unfortunately
Bob Shea can't, because he's dead, GOD DAMN IT!!! He was a REAL NICE
GUY and he was JUST starting to get him some TRUE SLACK when a horrible
disease got him.

Pope Bob Wilson is a million years old and he can still rant better
than ANY of you amateurs, WHILE DRUNK, and he can do it for 8 HOURS
STRAIGHT and never repeat himself, IF HE'S PAID TO!

So I don't blame you for being jealous... I am too!

Well yeah, as a Big Stupid Omnibus Novel, it works, but even in hardback
it's just too light for a doorstop. Kinda bogs down in the middle of
book 3 though.

The Cabinet of Catholic Information, however, totally dominates the
door. It only has half as many CRAZY IDEAS in it.

I was thinking they should make doorstops ON WHEELS so you could move
them around easier.

Ah, so what? He'd have just picked two other dumbasses to start his
church.

In other words, they were Shitheads.

So what was the complaint again? Something about doors?

Just to brag here, I've got a copy of Rev. Wilson's
porn novel "The Sex Magicians" (Sheffield House, 1973).
Surprised the hell out of me - this ain't no ordinary
stroke book. It reads like some sort of side trip on
the Illuminatus! journey. Whoa. This must've surprised
the trenchcoat brigade way back when porn meant words
as well as pictures.

wilson is definately on my list of more or less permanent personal saints.

for the more "advanced" among you it might all be weak doorstops and old
news but there's a whole planet full of basically clueless people who could
possibly benefit from contact with illuminatus [and the CotSG as well].
it doesn't hurt to spread exposure to the classics while you wait for [or
write] the next level of skullfarming tech-lit.

but you knew that.

damn ...
you guys had me goin there for a minute..
i was thinking " what kind of subgenius could possibly know about
illuminatus and NOT recognize it for the holy trilogy that it is? "

i'd rank it right up there with zippy the pinhead and the dead sea scrolls
in terms of cultural significance even if it did build up to a huge cop out
at the end. the trip itself was a great ride tho.
at least that's how i recall it after a dozen years of intervening daftness.
