If you sent in $30 you're a Reverend whether you want to be or not.

No, it's just somebody now without $30.

If you are the kind of artist or musician who can't stop no matter how
awful your output is, then you're a Doktor.
If you manipulate and lie to everyone around you to enrich yourself
with Slack, and generally make a loud spectacle of yourself in doing
so, then you fit the Pope profile.
If you do The Stuff That's Not Fun that all the other types avoid even
thinking about, you're a Saint, you PORE BASTARD. Dobbs loves the
Saints best because they give more money.

Biovizier is nice. There are a number of other religious titles that are
somewhat underused. Inquisitor is one, Meister and Mullah, of course.
Then there are the descriptives, like Bool the Hermit, Rush the
ecstatic, etc. Or you could consult a professional:

I guess neither one of you brilliant super-detectives ever heard of
"X-Day" and "the Escape Vessels of the Sex Goddesses." We'll wave to
you "super-geniuses" down below from our ascending Stairways to Heaven,
grinning out the portholes at you from around our huge bags of pot,
money, and good comic books, pitying you through the murky
half-consciousness of our Blowjob That Never Ends.
Actually I believe Dispepsios here DID send in his $30 back when it was
$10 or so, and even if he didn't, I don't think you'll find a bigger
Sucker for "Bob" in the whole wide world except possibly for me.
(I incidentally actually DID send in my $30 just before the alleged
July 5 1998.)

The lesson you should take away from all this: Only ask Subgenii questions
when you want a buttload of conflicting answers. When you *WANT* 'em, we
got em.
Personally, I prefer not to be called Reverend, Doktor, Pope or Saint. I am
a Sexton. I will bury ALL OF YOU under the soil of Planet X. Then I'll
build a roller coaster out of all y'alls' bones.
