So McLuhan bought the tetrad used?

For his sake, I hope he disinfected it.

This way you can get some attention. You know if you didn't use the
name, you would not be capable of getting any attention on your own.

If you didn't know this, you wouldn't post under the name "Bob
Dobbs". You would just post under your own name, and the attention
you generated would follow. So by using the name which the Church of
the SubGenius invented, you are in effect admitting that you are not
capable of generating any interest in yourself, by yourself.

Dean is just upset that there's no way his name or his wife's name can
be used to invoke the acronym HCE.

Your real name is not Bob Dobbs.

You post under the name "Bob Dobbs" because that name gained some
fame
from it's use by the Church of the SubGenius, who invented it and the
concept behind it.

This way you can get some attention. You know if you didn't use the
name, you would not be capable of getting any attention on your own.


If you didn't know this, you wouldn't post under the name "Bob
Dobbs". You would just post under your own name, and the attention
you generated would follow. So by using the name which the Church of
the SubGenius invented, you are in effect admitting that you are not
capable of generating any interest in yourself, by yourself.
