You know, somewhere under Mount Shasta, the guys that built what we
call the "flying saucers" are probably laffing and laffing at stuff
like this. But god damn it, we MUST build our own ships! Gotta start
somewhere. The fact that they're packing PARACHUTES is so SAD, though.
Imagine if we had to wory about parachutes on the Escape Vessels.

Jesus, I sure HOPE we don't have to worry about parachutes. Now that
X-Day is approaching, it DOES occur to me that the Book of the
SubGenius never specifies exactly what these escape vessels are made
of. For all we know they're wooden, and leak. And where exactly we're
all escaping TOO, that question just keeps NIGGLING at me.

Oh GREAT! NOW you bring it up, Mr. Big Sacred Scribe! I sure hope you
know what "Bob"'s doing! I hope we aren't jumping out of the frying pan
and into the fire.

What if the X-ists are just as dumb as "Bob" and their nuclear
containment shields are made of silver spraypainted PLYWOOD or something?

What if they don't even HAVE nuclear powered space ships? What if what
they REALLY want us for is SPACE OARSMEN?? I mean, I don't know if I
could eat space gruel; I'm lactose intollerant!

So what you're saying, basically, is that you guys are going to get on
a saucer with a bunch of alien lifeforms you know nothing about, and
you have done NO preparation at all for the journey?

Geez ... you kids ...

OK, look for "Re: Pre-X-Day Jitters (was Re: Pinks - In - Space!" on
alt.binaries.slack for lesson 1.

What if we'd just QUIT when Albert Einstein bombed Pearl Harbor? We'd all be
eating Matzoh ball soup and learning physics in school, that's what!

You fucking pink-boys aren't getting ANYWHERE! We gather together to
avoid accidental extermination, to make it as EASY FOR THEM AS
POSSIBLE so that saving us does not comprimise them too much SLACK.
That's all. I never planned on attending xxxxday. I'm just
gravitating there.

I've just been reading a thread on alt.slack detailing preparations
that need to be made for xxxxday. I thought this NG was for
Subgeniuses, for fuck's sake.

You don't prepare for xxxxday! There's no better way to get yourself
killed than to be actually THINKING when the Xists come. We are
supposed to be able to react WITHOUT thinking. Our only salvation
lies in the path of least resistance. The luck gods will make sure
we're okay, and reward us with riches BEYOND IMAGINING and debauchery
of connieite proportions!

As for where we're escaping to, well, that's the End Time Jamboree, of
course. Always glad to help.

Who do you think sold them the spray paint?
