Some even save it! It's the "USING IT LATER" part that gets hairy. This one
will end up in the online hymnal eventually... and 20 years from now you'll
walk into a party on some Escape Vessel and discover a roomful of aliens
singing it.

I once stumbled upon a bunch of college kids chanting an inane ditty that
Philo in his cups had blabbered out briefly onto some long forgotten Media
Barrage tap... "WOTAN, WOTAN, FROZEN GOD OF THE NORTHLAND..." (repeat
forever).It's always the most obscure stuff that gets preserved, though.

On the other hand... Just the other day my daughter said that her physical
therapist refered to certain people as "Yuppies and Pinks"... first time
we've heard the term Pinks used by non-SubGenii in a generic way, as if one
were supposed to know what the hell it meant. ("Pink Boy" may have been
Negro slang of some kind before Dobbs started using it, but I'm not even
sure about that... when I first heard it, it was white boys PRETENDING to
be Black people, on a CB radio.) Vreedeez heard some nonSub kids calling
marijuana "frop" once, and the New York Times has used the word "bulldada"
in art reviews, just like it was a "HUMAN" word.

I walked into a "head shop" this morning and the kid behind the counter was
wearing the same "Bob" T-shirt I was! I told him that the SubGeniuses
worked out of THIS VERY NEIGHBORHOOD (he didn't even know it was a Dallas
based thing) and gave him the Lord's number so he could get the shirts
wholesale for his store. I did not tell him I was "in" with "those people."
Later, I'll quiz him about "them." A couple of times I have experienced the
bizarre pleasure of having total strangers describe their friend Ivan Stang
to me in great detail.

FIGURES. The Church will probably SUDDENLY get REAL FAMOUS and actually be
WORTH BIG MONEY and we'll all get RICHER THAN DOBBS -- a week before the
Rupture.

In your royal on-and-offedness you have NO IDEA how deeply "pink" has
infected the hive mind of the net.

Pink = spam (which looks pink until you cook it, and then it looks burnt
pink).

to be fair, this "therapist" was probably trying to sound cool by using
a semi-obscure and outdated term, or was just plain old. maybe both.

from <<The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language>> :

PINK, pinker, pinkest. adj. 1. color. Of the color pink. 2 slang. Having
moderately leftist political opinions. [origin unknown]

PINKO n. pl. --os slang. A person who holds moderately leftist political
views: a pink.

this follows the logic of calling a communist, or sympathizer a
"Red"...i always thought that definition was the origin of the SubGenius
usage, just used in a much broader sence to include all "normal" schools
of thought(moderate liberalism being only one)and all who buy into them.

i guess not. it does kinda fit though.

i first heard it on MST3K, but i think it's an intentional reference. I
was saying it for years before i found the Church. May have lead me to
to it know that i think of it.

i think it might be in my copy of Webster's(which is a lot older), but
i'm not looking for it just now.

i'd like a copy of that, any clue of a date?

oh well...back to the dungeon.

Dr. Philo Drummond was waiting in line in a bank. In front of him was a
white man and in front of the white man was a Black man. The white man
was talking too much or too loud, and the Black man turned around and
said "SHUT UP PINK BOY." All three were, of course, SubGenii.

I hope this answers your question.

Huzzah! I've been signed! OK OK, so it's not a major label, but it's a
start! Can't wait for those royalty cheques to start rolling in... wait!
OH SHIT... I put Slack Domain on that one didn't I? Whatever WAS I
thinking?

"Royalty checks" is a funny phrase any time a SubGenius says it. Especially
when Stang says it. The way his lips contort as if he were sucking on an
alum-dipped donkey dick.... Man, THAT is comedy!
