12 ARISE DVDs sold!

From: "Rev. Ivan Stang" <stang@subgenius.com>
Date: Wed, Feb 4, 2004

15 more, and the processor I bought for finishing it will be paid for!
Another 5, and the transfer from 1" to DV will be paid for! Another 5
yet, and the hard drive space will be paid for!

And then another 400 or 500 copies after that, and Cordt Holland and I
will have been getting minimum wage for editing it. But in 1980s
dollars, that "minimum wage" would amount to almost $5 an hour!

Oh... minimum wage is more than that already?

But anyway! God damn it, another couple hundred ARISE sales, and 750 or
so more bottlecaps, and 10 more GRIT subscription sales, and I'll be
able to start looking for a car!

Maybe I should sell copies of "Return of the King" instead. I could...
but instead I'll mention that I saw a nice "academy screener VHS" made
into 4 VCDs on 'triballs. Not shot off a screen. Marred by the
occasional "PROPERTY OF [NOT YOU]" subtitle but otherwise looks about
like a VHS two-tape set you'd pay $50 for, when burned to disk and
played in a DVD player. Do a search for "520cd". But mark my words --
RAR 26 of reel 1 IS bad, and the included PARs will NOT help; you MUST
go to alt.binaries.paxer and get the PAR2 set for "520cd" -- for only
that set ("THE GOOD ONES yENC") will crack cd1 and overcome the bad RAR
26.

As I suspected would happen, that marvelous ng has already been
abandoned to lurkers, and the posters moved on, telling only those who
can READ CLOSELY where they went.

If what I said saved you some $, spent it on your ARISE DVD this time
instead of the booze. But hurry! Remember, if yours truly suddenly got
run over by a bus, most of the SubGenius products you put off buying
will be GONE FOREVER. I seriously doubt that anybody else could
decipher my assembly line instructions. Jesus tried to make ONE Hour of
Slack once, when I was gone, and it took Him 3 days.

If there's ever been or ever will be something which would entice me to buy a
DVD player, this is it! But I, too, have an unruly car situation to deal with,
and my situation does not suggest, but rather demands that I have a car. Right
now, I'm joined at the hip to my lovely mate, whose schedule, for arcane
reasons not understood by me, does not fully coincide with wherre/when I'd like
to park my body.

I have some questions about your new CPU. I ordered an ARISE! DVD before
you installed your new CPU. Will the DVD I am to receive be made by the
old CPU or the new CPU? If made by the old CPU, will the quality of the
DVD be inferior to the DVDs made with the new CPU? Will I have to speed
up my DVD player if the DVD I get was made with the new CPU, or will I
have to slow down my DVD player if the DVD was made with the old CPU, and
if so, by how much should I speed up or slow down my DVD player in order
to get proper playback of the DVD?

I am over 18 and I don't have Windows.

Thank you in advance for these questions.

Yo! Make that 13.

May Bob cause you to sell 13013 copies!

Rilly, I sure do hope I get serial number 13. It's too long to wait for the
666th copy or maybe the 808th. I could hold out for the 111th, but I don't
believe in that particular religion :-)

BTW, wowweee zowweee, the things that show up in my mailbox while I'm gone!

When you needed web site hosting, post-sunsite, you turned to a porn
site hoster because he could get the job done.

When it comes to releasing a video that won't likely get picked up by
a major distributor, but you want widespread coverage, who you gonna
call, Ghostbusters? Hell no.

There is far more porn sold/rented at combination video stores than at
stricly X-rated shops. Getting in with a major porn distributor would
get it exposed to a large number of video shops. Just make sure the
distributor makes the point in his new released newslatter that it's
not porn; doing that would be in his best interest too.

Ron Jeremy is becoming a regular TV personality. There's a "reality"
show about being in porn movies. Porn IS mainstream now.

Make it easy on yourself, Popi. Ask the local shops for their old
newsletters from their distributors and start making phone calls.
ESPECIALLY if you find one that carries "cult classics" as well.

I just want to see you do well. Otherwise one of us might have to take
you in when you're feebled up.

Hey rev ... I know you get a lot of emails and all, but I just sent
you one (the subject starts with WAUGH) which you should probably have
a look at

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM REV STANG!!! Joe Cosby has been on a one-man campaign
to SPREAD LIES about me for the past MONTH! The email he sent you will
probably say that my MONEY IS NO GOOD, and that I AM A WELCHER!

THIS IS NOT TRUE!! It IS true that I ripped him off in an ebay deal,
or, I should say that it is true that he CLAIMS that I ripped him off
in an ebay deal, but IT IS NOT TRUE!!

It's too complicated to explain right now, BUT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT;
HE IS TELLING YOU NOTHING BUT LIES!!!

HAH! We fooled you! It was *I* who has been spreading the facts about
YOU! Like.... how we have pictures of you... BREATHING AIR! And buying
Thin Mints from GIRL SCOUTS instead of the DOBBS SCOUTS!

You didn't REALLY think you could pass $10 bills forged on toilet paper
using crayons, did you?? And when are you gonna replace them and those
color tipped markers LIKE YOU PROMISED LAST YEAR???

The walls have ears, the potatos have eyes, and WE'RE WATCHING YOU!
