Above and beyond the connotations of the word "pink" to SubGenii, I'm
surprised that regular humans would deliberately associate that color
with this particular war resistance. "Pinkos" being half-Commies and
all. But then, to real geezers, a "slacker" means "draft dodger."

Damn WORDS anyway.

Personally I'm also sorry that the term "slacker" had to become trendy
again, since the half assed slack of the generic slacker is practically
the opposite of the ideal Slack exemplified in J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.

It helps me convert people, though. Slack is slack. It's universal.
I've full converted one co-worker and partially deranged a further
two. I don't know if any of them have committed to the full 30 bucks
but the full convert managed to get himself fired recently.

As is generally the case, I am not sure whether to be proud or
slightly horrified at what I have done.

As long as there are jobs at which you are discouraged to goof off,
slack will mean slack. As long as there are narrow-minded bosses who
think that stripping naked and dancing on your desk singing "fuck this
job! fuck this job!" is somehow counter-productive, slack will remain
slack and will be worth fighting for.

AS LONG AS ONE SUFFERING GLORP REMAINS OPPRESSED BY THE SUB YETI
MAJORITY EXPECTING THEM TO ACTUALLY -DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH THEIR
LIVES-, THE BLOOD OF THE OPPRESSOR AND THE OPPRESSED WILL FLOW AND THE
BATTLE WILL CONTINUE!

<fuck>

<ok>

But anyway it helps me convert people when they recognize what 'slack'
and 'slacker' mean. Some concepts just can't be effectively co-opted,
by their nature.

Oh yes there is, "The SubGenius Anthem" by Lonesome Cowboy Dave and
ESO! Perhaps you didn't play every bit of your copy of Bobsongs 2,
"Bob's" Total Deafness, in your hurry to sample ALL of the Bobsong
Albums.

But a great anthem it is. Kind of Sex Pistols-y.

"We'll stand hand in hand, when the trumpet calls X-Day...
In a brother and siuster band, while they blow the world away.
We shall have paradise
SubGenii of the World Unite
Alien Sex Every Night!
SubGenii of the World
SubGenii of the World
SubGenii of the World UNITE!

Also there's The SubGenius Internationalle by St. Kenneth Huey and
Bunnyboy, and The Dobbs Spangled Banner by Papa Joe Mama.

AND of course the oldest anthem of all, "I wanna Die for Bob," by the
long lost Doug 0 of Houston. AND Nenslo's "Take Me Off to Space."

Really, there's been at least an anthem per album. I have seen all of
the above boisterously performed by crowds as sing-alongs in bars or
X-days or whatnot, too.

Oh yes, and Chas Smith's "Us and All Our Friends Are So Fucked Up" --
that certainly qualifies as well.

You kids these days.

There's also my take on a Lemurian National Anthem freshly posted over on
a.b.s. It's an appropriated re-mix of the Iraqi national anthem, which,
typical of my stuff, runs a little long and is a bit monotonous. Wish I
had more varied "Bob" samples for the chorus. This was done back in 2000.
