No, fuck that. I think I was saying something like this at the drill;
people talk about this "church shopping" shit all the time like it was
another one of those fucking Yuppie outgrowths of creeping consumerism.
I'm sure this'll surprise the hell out of Stang, who still apparently
believes that Subgenii are not supposed to be able to stand each other,
but any religion has a hell of a lot to do with your religious community,
and that's us, folks. Doctrine? Hell, I could've gotten this stuff from
most any religion. I could've stayed Catholic. I could've taken up
Zen. I could've become an atheist. Whatever; eternal truths are eternal
truths, right? But the primary reason I'm a Subgenius instead of a member
of some other major religion is because the vast majority of you folks are
pretty good people. Who the hell wants to be in a Church with a bunch of
total assholes?

It's only pink if you exchanged business cards and said "Catchya later,
babe!" with a swank pat on the back. And even then, hell, I dunno, don't
care. I'm pink, its mostly due to my inability to tan tho.

Whoa there cownerd! I've gotta fundamental issue with you based on

>snif< >snif< I smell hugs and kisses, get me my gun. Fellowship, by that
I guess you mean "having freinds", is a common trait of many species, many
of which crawl on all fours. I fail to see the point. If a SubGenius can
overcome this inate desire, all the better! We need more sociopathic
loners out there wandering the streets and backwoods: tests prove that
they hear the voices of Dobbs and JHVH-1 more clearly than those Yetis
occupied with trivial conversations.

You'd better stop talking about Stang and Jesus that way man! On X-Day I
got more than a few evil-eyes from Jesus, and its not a glance I wish to
get again!

I went there for the EXPLICIT reason to not have a good time and hate
everyone I saw. AND I SUCCEEDED! I HATE AND LOATHE ALL OF YOU - I NEVER
TALKED TO YOU BEFORE - I NEVER WANT TO AGAIN - YOU CAN PARADE YOUR GODDAMN
UGLINESS RIGHT UP YOUR ASSES!

I did not enjoy the company of SubGenii, in fact they made me cringe
outright - nearly to the point of nausea. I did manange to get one REALLY
drunk tho, then leave him to disturb everyone else.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. OH MAN, that is good.I believe in uniqueness and
individuality alright - but I also believe that I can be intolerant of
them both. My roommate once wisely said "If everyone is special, what's
so special about being special?" To which I answered, "The fact that
everyone's specialities aren't compatible and we have big fights to see
which ones survive." If life was all a stalmate, damn, I'd be asleep now.

...which brings me to an interesting aside. My friend who hadn't paid for
X-Day and was therefore hanging out with pagans and sleeping in our tent
obviously felt some kind of guilt. One Sunday morning, I awoke to the
words "Take that, Motherfucker!" I turned about quickly as I thought for
sure my number was up, but lo - it was merely my greedy pink friend
tlaking in his sleep. He immediately awakened and explained that Pastor
Craig was chasing him around his old apartment demanding a for helping him
move. But, instead of a tip, the dreamscape Pastor Craig got a whack over
the head with a yard stick that made him desolve down vents. He further
explained that he had the dream at least 4 times that evening.

Pastor Craig: if you are responsible for this, please teach me the
method!

I resent being called an asshole, I have yet to use a derogatorry slang

far.

Forcing my opinion on others is just my way I sharing I guess. I mean,
what's right for me must be right for eveyone else cuz I looked and I saw
it in the same crystal (oops, jumped ahead)

Did you just see Men In Black too? That whole marble/galaxy thing was
damn cheesey if you ask me - and a rip off of Douglas Adams snooker
analogy from the Hitchhiker Trilogy.

Ok, IF the whole universe is a crystal AND the crystal is of uniform shape
and color THEN everyone sees the same thing. BUT they can't do that cuz
they're part of the universe, and if they were lookin from within the
crystal, then it wouldn't be much of crystal, it'd be a giant box with
people inside. Incidentally this one of Carl Sagan's first theories about
the nature of the universe after a frop session with "Bob" in 1974.
Stephen Hawkin would later modify this theory to say that as you
approached the corners of the box, the duct tape would get so strong that
no lint could escape - except for tiny pulses of lint fragments known
today as "dust."

You made this a hell of alot more complicated with the crystal stuff.
Look man, crystals are SOLELY for new age kooks. That's my facet. Its
the only facet - face it.

But more importantly, what did "Bob" say? Yes! WHAT ABOUT "BOB"?

I dunno, I'm like The Charlie. I have my book somewhere, but I'll be
damned if I actually memorized anything - and I'll be double damned if I
actually go looking for it now.

Damn right they can't - everything in my path is going to be mowed down,
and everything behind me is going to be impassable scorched earth.

I'm takin you to small claims! I'm cool with it, I have a Jesuit
education, I know my religion. I also know that you're big on sharing:
I'm big on shooting crap down. You're (your) crap this case, just thought
I'd share. I just don't get why you're so big on sharing? I think in
reality you're really trying to force you're view onto the readers of
alt.slack AND I think your replies to others in this thread illustrate
that precise intent. THEIR reply to you, wasn't correct, it HAD to be
sharing. I'm forcing right now - I'm the only one right - You are wrong -
LISTEN TO ME: You can call conversations sharing, but I call them a battle
of ideas, the surviving idea is right, the others are wrong. AND I DON'T
WANNA BE FELLOWS ABOUT IT - I'M GLOATING; I'M ENTITLED TO IT!

HUH? ALl I wanted was a tape and a t-shirt, and all I got was some lousy

I'd like to interject that Subgenii, in general, tend to be among the
WHITEST MOTHERFUCKERS I'VE EVER SEEN, myself included. I may have brought
this up at the drill, and it was noted that many of us have a tendency to
be hunched over _some_ kind of screen.

Why the fuck do we have to overcome innate desires? Being a Subgenius
isn't about resisting your innermost impulses- for humans, of course, this
is desirable as their innermost impulses are to whack each other in the
heads with clubs, whereas OUR innate desires are to knock HUMANS in the heads
with clubs so we can get back to the orgies. If I want to spend time around
my fellow Yeti, by gum, that's JUST what I'll do.

On solitude vs. companionship- Stang has a sermon called "You can be
alone- with 'Bob'". I think this applies here. Where Subgenii are the
most skilled are in cultivating a sense of wild-eyed isolation while
still being what can be called "social creatures". Not to mention the
fact that NOTHING a Subgenius does can be "trivial", because of the
very fact that it's a Subgenius doing it!

Hey, nobody here is saying you SHOULDN'T be a sociopath; if you wanna

that to be in the company of other Subgenii.

What is the difference between force and coercion, and giving, for that

this CHURCH is for. But it's ALSO for the promulgation of high-quality
Dobbs Approved MANURE; and that's where semantics'll fail ya. You can

I don't know if this ever showed up in my email -- I'm finding this on

Thankee for the kind words, which tend to offset the token Stang Hating. I
wish they'd quit mixing me up with Dobbs.

I'm sure it's all TOKEN Stang Hating, because how could anyone sincerely
hate such a sweet and unassuming, nonegomaniacal person such as myself?

But truly, sir, NONE are more Great in their Humbleness than YOU sirrah!

Thanks for all the blanks, incidentally!

As you say, the SubGenii tend generally to be friendly folks. You'd almost
think that all that Hate stuff was more a statement ABOUT Hate than true
Hate! Sometimes. Other times... it's Squeetersville.

Well, everybody should send me copies of all videotapes. I would sure like
to assemble a for-real feature length video documentary out of all this.
Not a 4-hour rough cut like the last Drill videotapes. I have it covered by
1.5 cameras, and other angles would always help beef stuff up. I don't know
WHEN such a time consuming thing would happen. It would be FUN. We could
probably even SELL it.

That Friday morning "radio show" never really worked out... things got good
once it became more devival-like than radio-like.

GENERAL DRILL MEDIA UPDATE: I am 3 days late already getting an Hour of
Slack out, because I KEEP DUBBING FROM THE HIGH-8 VIDEOS. So far, some of
the best sound is coming from that brand new High-8 camera's stero mikes.
The audio tapes that I have are mostly board tapes with very little
audience or room presence (or guitars during the music, for that matter)
so, so far, I'm pulling audio from those High 8 videos as fast as I can ,
before I have to return the High 8 gear (it's all borrowed -- from
TEENAGERS!!).

While that dubbing and logging was going on, all day yesterday, I was also
pulling "frame grabs" off the videotapes -- stills to post. They look real
good from the High 8. However, there are... HUNDREDS already and I've only
scanned half the videos. I've been narrowing it down. Next I need to covert
all these PICT files into jpegs... THEN I can post it.

I'm catching all the Reports that everybody's posting to a.s., and I got
all the photos you posted to a.b.s. I intend to mix it all together into a
big SubSITE report soon as I can. Gotta do radio first.

Wandarer has got the ENTIRE DRILL RECORDINGS (from his and my audio decks)
up on SubSITE streaming in Real Audio:

http://www.subgenius.com/bigfist/ears/soundz/X_Day_Drill_97/X_Day_Dr
ill_97_Sounds.html.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in the dead of night with the crucifixion scene
dubbing behind me, adding to the log that Wandarer started, and trying to
do 5 other things at once so that when I finally put this stuff into Radio
Show Order, it all sounds its best.

I almost have the basic main video footage logged and sorted to the point
that I'll be able to dub VHS copies for people who are desperate to see
their own performance, or to jack off to the naked pictures, or just to
have nice stereo Kodak memories to boost their Frop Memories. Blank tapes
with the appropriate huge padded SASEs and bribes will get you what you
need. It looks like there will be 4 main VHS tapes. I'll post the logs when
they're done. There are still parts of the Drill that I haven't seen at all
because I wasn't there, and haven't come to that part of the vids yet.

I have been pleasantly surprised!

P.S. General message: to the two drunks that Jesus or I had to be stern
with (for your own good): no hard feelings on our parts. My own glass house
doesn't permit prolonged rock fights, and stuff like that is usually
forgotten quickly.

(I don't know who they WERE anyway.)
