The 10th Anniversary Final SubGenius Devival
I should have posted this earlier, but I have been slacking in a bad way and not a good way. Oh yes, there is a good way to slack. To learn the proper way to slack, you should attend the 10Th Anniversary Final SubGenius Devival tomorrow evening and let a Church of SubGenius expert advise you. Or just go for fun to check out the show.
Now, if you don't know anything about the Church of Subgenius, you can visit the subgenius website, but that will probably only give you more questions. Here is a summary from the subgenius website:
Church of the SubGenius: n. A mutant offshoot of {Discordianism} launched in 1981 as a spoof of fundamentalist Christianity by the `Reverend' Ivan Stang, a brilliant satirist with a gift for promotion. Popular among hackers as a rich source of bizarre imagery and references such as "Bob" the divine drilling-equipment salesman, the Benevolent Space Xists, and the Stark Fist of Removal. Much SubGenius theory is concerned with the acquisition of the mystical substance or quality of `slack'.I used to go to Church of Subgenius events when I lived in the Bay Area, and they were always filled with interesting art, performance art, and live music. I swear it's not a real cult, even though it sounds like it's a cult. It's a bunch of liberal artsy types who hate working office jobs, that's all. I had so much fun at SubGenius events in the 1990s that I put a SubGenius bumper sticker on my truck 10 years ago and it is still there. My bumper sticker reads, "Quit Your Job For Bob." It's a confusing bumper sticker, because it's obscure and no one ever gets it. When someone does get it, he or she gets really excited and usually pulls up next to me to tell me to continue to "praise Bob." I swear it's not a cult.
I swear.
Not a cult.
But join us....

You can say it's not a cult all you want, but it's more accurate to say it's the kind of cult that includes deprogramming built-in and which refuses to tell others how to run their own lives, except to not be Normal And, really, if you think about it, that's actually quite easy, since most people are weird on SOME level.
Sorry you couldn't make it--perhaps next time?
Definitely next time! I am still bummed I had to miss this past event.
We're an anti-religion religion, an anti-science science and an anti-art art.
Sometimes all at once!
I'd say see you next time, but who am I foolin'? There won't be one.
/returns to blacking out the calendar after July 5th
NO! There MUST be a next time! Don't make me cry.
