I uploaded the Hour of Slack Xistlessnessmess re-run before I left, so
all I had to do is link that to SubSITE to catch HoSlack up:

ButŠ I left my heart in San Francisco! -- or more accurately in
Martinez. I'm in love, folks. I met Another Woman. I remain faithful to
Wei, but my longing for my new sweetie is very strong. She is 17 months
old and her name is (CENSORED) or "The UberSquirt." Of course I am
refering to the toddler daughter of Dr. Philo Drummond and Rev. Kaosmic
Bobcat. I had a lot of fun in SF hanging out and doing shows with my
old pardners Philo and Kaosmic Bobcat and Puzzling Evidence and Dr. Hal
and LIES & Mimi and Gary G'Broagfran and Rev. John Shirley and Michael
Peppe and Bishop Joey... and with my newer pals KROB and Mongoloid and
KRK Ryden and John Hell and Jaina Davis and John Law and Scott Beale
and SHE-VO and Bug Girl and Leslie and Hempstress and Tom Sane and then
some. (See Below.) But my mostest fun was playing with my new buddy the
UberSquirt while staying with the Drummonds. She is possibly the
PERFECT toddler. I don't have grandchildren yet, but this will
certainly do for nowŠ a sweet child that I get to jounce on my knee and
read comic books to, but whose diapers somebody else has to change!
The UberSquirt has mastered speaking only a few hundred words yet, but
she can perform the "EYIYIYI" sacred Salute PERFECTLY -- yet WITHOUT
TOUCHING HER THROAT! Only the second-generation SubGenius Hierarchy
Females are able to do that. She still has to use her fingers to
achieve Bluh-Yah Lip Flappage, but who doesn't?
Mongoloidapalooza, the DEVO-vival, was just that -- half DEVOtional and
half SubGenius Devival. The stage backdrop was hung with huge Hallish
and Bevilacquian Dobbsheads but the music was all Mongoloid and
Mongolounge, Mongoloid being perhaps the most spot-on DEVO "cover" band
I've ever seen, and Mongolounge being just what the name would suggest.
Hal sermonized and I sermonized, him from his flawless memory and me
off the top of my half-clawed-open head. Mighty KROB provided video
projections, a krobbian admixture of SubAnimation, Arise! cuts, DEVO
videos and other puzzling evidence.
Here is a report on the devival in video and photos by Scott Beale of

Download/hear the 3-hour Puzzling Evidence show from Dec. 7 on KPFA
Berkeley:
http://www.hesiod.org/show/PE120707.mp3
Yappers include Dr. Gary G'broagfran! Dr. Hal! Dr. Philo Drummond,
OverMan First Degree! Puzzling Evidence! Bishop Joey of Church of the
Last Laugh! KROB! And Rev(s). Many More!
Praise Dobbs, the devivals are done for a while, until February anyway.
I am ready to hole up in my office for a change. The main reason I
consent to devival preaching these days is because it means a free
visit to my far-flung, poo-flinging friends. I couldn't care less about
saving souls -- if they ain't saved by now, TOUGH LUCK, "BUB." By some
insane fluke, however, the last three shows ALSO made good money in
$wag $ales for the Foundation. We completely sold out everything I
hauled with me for the San Francisco DEVO-vival at 12 Galaxies. 3 souls
were saved right on the spot. It was also gratifying to see so many
young Beautant Girrrls at the devival AND the KPFA show. We're well
stocked up on young mutant boys, but more mutant GIRLS mean more
mutants IN GENERAL, you see.
Slippy and Astrobabe (of X-Day and Burning Man fame) attended!
Astrobabe is now the writer of a graphic novel called SMOKE AND GUNS,
albeit writing under her slave name. The two of them run a comic book
lounge called ISOTOPE at 326 Fell St. in SF.
I missed seeing Phineas Narco and some other old friends, but by sheer
chance (?) I did see JANOR!
I was strolling down Valencia with Puzzling Evidence on Monday night
when a familiar voice hollered "Hey Doug!" We both turned around but
the hollerer was addressing only the other Doug. We stopped and Janor
told Puzzling he wasn't doing Mr. TV tonight, but was on his way to get
paid for petition gathering. Puzzling said he had to meet somebody, and
we walked on. We don't think Janor ever recognized me at all. In fact I
don't think he even looked in my direction. I was pondering whether to
say, "Hey Janor, it's me STANG and I just sold the option for THE JANOR
DEVICE movie to a French film producer for half a million bucks!" For
all I know Janor was pondering something to say to me too, but I doubt
it. I was looking right at him, waiting for him to pull a knife and
jump on me screaming "WHERE'S MY HALF MILLION DOLLARS, STANG?" but, I
swear, he appeared never to so much as notice that Puzzling had a
companion with him.
Philo and Puzzling videotaped like crazy so we'll probably eventually
see some more on YouTube.

What exactly are the "holy days" you refer to? Going to "winterstar
2008" and attending seminars and rituals for "the horned god"?
that is such a pathetic substitute for a real spiritual life!
"Holy days" = "holidays" in general -- Xmas and the like.
Please, more about me and the horned god! I appreciate being advised
about my life by an informed person with a real spiritual life, as
opposed to just another ignorant asshole with one of those phony
spiritual lives.
lol
>Xmas and the like.
That's good - "xmas and the like" - that's funny.
You know, "holy days", like XMAS, and Kwanzaa, and hannukah, and maybe
a little YULETIDE celebration, maybe a little SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
with my pagan friends, you know, a little human sacrifice or whatever
- they're all equal. All religions are equal. If we could all just put
aside our differences, and think about THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, and
gather together, and unite, and come together in peace, around the
giant burning man icon, and have a one-world global religion of
PEACE.
"xmas and the like" - that's rich.
Almost all religions are equally dumb. The Church of the SubGenius
stands out as the dumbest and hence most religious.
>
> Almost all religions are equally dumb. The Church of the SubGenius

What about "paganism" - is that equally dumb? I think it's a lot
dumber than other religions.
What about all that shit about "the horned god' at those events that
you go to at 'starwood"? Is that equally dumb?

Shhh! Mikey might learn your secret, that you aren't really a dirty
old wiccan!
BTW! Speaking of religions, the Freer Museum here in DC has a
wonderful collection of Indian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese Buddhas as
well as a really nice Hindu exhibit. They even give outta a little
pamphlet for kids (or perhaps adults who like pictures) with
explanations of the mudras.
Best part of all is at the end of each side of the main hall (the
place is like a maze) there are two larger than life and really pissed
off looking wood statures of chinese warriors.
The 4-hour mp3 of the John Hell show can be downloaded here:
http://www.nerdnetworks.org/pcr/JohnHell-20071210.mp3
John Hell's guests are Loid Mongoloid, K-ROB, Dr. Hal, Puzzling
Evidence, yours truly. Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk with
uncannily apt KROBiated audio clippage in the background and sometimes
the foreground. It went on so late that several SubGenius History
secrets were revealed. Jet-lag and body-clock-wise, I was on East
Coast time, so for me the show took place from 11 pm to 3 am. If you
hear me start to fall asleep, please wake me up.
Of course, no answer to my question, because that would reveal your
blatant anti-Christian bigotry and hypocrisy.
Oh! that's so multicultural of you! Buddhism is so much better than
Christianity, with all their rules, and their "thou shalt nots". You
are so enlightened and liberated. you are really a bodhisatva here to
help others achieve your level of enlightenment. You should definitely
shave your head and go around wearing robes to show everyone how holy
and spiritual you are.
You know, I'm VERY spiritual, but I'm not religious.
And his Kill File.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that the most religious religion would
also have the most holidays? It seems to me like it would be a good
PR move to co-opt (read hijack) each of the other religion's holiday
and offer it to Bob.
When the christians plopped jesus right in the middle of the pagan
winter holiday, it was no accident. And they did it again for the
spring equinox (why we have cross buns (roman), rabbits, eggs, and
jesus).
And it would suit one of my "projects" nicely if there were as many
holidays as possible recognized the CotSG. Which would afford a bit
more "freedom" under local ordinance.

i've got no SubG Hierarchy ancestors, yet I learned to the EYIYIYI

maybe it had something to do with all the coffee.

heartening.

It could be I just like eastern statuary and sculpture.
I got no issues with Christianity. I got issues with fake christians,
such as yourself, who forget that jesus taught a message of love and
peace. You, Mikey, have a message of hatred and violence. Very un-
Christian of you.

As long as you are aware that those vinyl records and their pops and
grandpops will last about 400 years longer than any electronic media
you dub them to.
Hey, speaking of which, does anybody near Cleveland and reading this
have access to a 3/4-inch videocassette player? The huge clunky
machines from the 1980s, from before VHS and Beta? That I could use to
transfer stuff to DV tape for about 2 days? 200 days at the most.
Puzzling Evidence got to reminding me of the boxes of 3/4" that I have
in the vault. There's some good crazy signifying on those olden tapes,
IF I REMEMBAR CORRECTLY!
Older is right... Philo will be about 70 when the UberSquirt is 16.
Truly a Patriarch! It helps that the OverMom, Rev. Kaosmic Bobcat, is
not that far past teething age herself. Her DAD is younger than Philo
and me.
Personally, I switched from inseminating to cloning as soon as hair
started growing on my son's armpits. However, I'm expecting a sudden
huge crop, several litters of grandkids, any year now as my offspring,
plus my nieces and nephews, are all at prime reproduction age. Our
breeding program is in excellent shape. Eventually, even if it takes
many generations, we will stamp out the pesky Pink gene entirely, and
there will be nothing human left -- only Yeti.
FUCK HUMANS! -- BUT DON'T FERTILIZE THEM
If you have a group up there, you should check out Freecycle. They are
little yahoo groups of folks giving and taking STUFF. The one here
always has postings for old electronic equipment that get snagged up
right away, like old vocoders and phasers and orgasmatrons, and
teletranducors and such.
I wouldn't killfile Alcandor! He's major Inadvertent Comedy Relief
around here! I answered his question, but like so many posts, it went
right under his head.
He's too ignorant of SubGenius and all other religions to recognize
when we're making more mockery of (and stealing naughty bits from) New
Age goofballs, conspiracy nuts, Space Brothers and Ancient Mystery
Schools. Fundie Christians are generally too old and lame a target,
except when the occasional well-placed one gets caught fucking
children, sucking cocks in airport restrooms or embezzling from the
Poor Box. Hell, EVERYBODY makes fun of the CHRISTIANS. We strive to
unmask ALL False Prophets, starting in our own bedrooms. Here, I'll
whip open my robe and expose mine -- take a big LOOONG gander at MY
False Prophets, Mikey! Mark ye well the angle of the dangle.
Or the shrewd customer.
That's genius Orwellian revisionist propaganda. They'll also tell you
the crosses on hot cross buns represent the "crucifixion" even though
they existed in pagan Rome long before Jesus.
I claim all holidays in the name of Bob. I'll work on my propaganda
on-the-fly.
> I claim all holidays in the name of Bob.
That's "Bob", oh ye of little faith.
"Bob" has had so many past lives that every day is his birthday many
times over. There is never a time when you should not be celebrating
"Bob's" birthday AT FULL TILT.
Y'know, I'm very SHUT UP, but I'm not FUCK YOU.
Y'know, I'm very EAT SHIT, but I'm not AND DIE.
If I remember correctly, Dr. Dark is the Leader of a secret society of
Militant Audio/Visual Clubs, who just might have a 3/4 Inch (or 19mm)
player in their stockpiles.
That must Mean Scrapple is the representaion of JHVH-1, "Bob", and
pork by products
Now Mikey has to take a cold shower.

I am a bit leery of fucking humans, for fear that humanity might be
contagious. I have a better suggestion:
DON'T FUCK HUMANS - FUCK YOURSELVES! with each batch of clone-
offspring, we can weed out the ones with any lingering traces of human
genetics and eugenically refine each generation of clones so the
delightful world full of yetis may come to pass!
