How many Subgeniuses does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Funny you should ask.

1,567,654 --

1,567,652 to invent, finance and build the Mass-Clustering Atomic
Compression Device or Shrinking Machine, and two to get inside the
lightbulb.

That joke's answer came to me in like 1981 -- I told it to Buck Naked,
he told it in a local classic rock radio station contest and won the
prize. He didn't share it with me.

I guess in 1981, it wasn't really a "classic rock" station, it was just
a rock station, and since it probbly hasn't changed at all since 81,
it's now called "classic" rock. It was the Dallas station called The
Zoo (as opposed to the one called The Edge.)

Is there anyone reading this whose nearest city does not have both a
"The Zoo" and a "The Edge"? The former playing 70s music and the later
playing 80s MTV music?

The Zoo closed up shop before I had left Dallas.

Co-incidentally, The Zoo was the first radio station in Dallas to carry
The Rock-n-Roll Alternative, that "underground college no-wave
post-punk DIY" show hosted by The Edge founder Marc Gimarc. And of
course, The Rock-n-Roll Alternative was finally kicked off KZEW, and
months later came over to KNON at the same time The Hour Of Slack went
to the Sunday night slot right after.

And so, having came across Marc's show while trying to find ANYTHING
EVEN SLIGHTLY BETTER on Dallas radio, I tune in, dig it, and then find
myself nearly defecating of shock and joy when I head Marc say: "Stay
tuned for the SubGenius Radio Ministry Hour Of Slack."

Five minutes later I was scrambling for a blank tape, to begin what
evolved into HUNDREDS of Hours of Slack, starting with that first
prime-time episode (#79!) and packed tightly into legal size manila
envelope boxes.

I haven't been so obsessive about anything since, PRAISE FUCKING "BOB".

Seattle has The Mountain and The End, respectively. We have a station
that bills itself as "Pure Classic Rock" but it's a hard rock and heavy
metal station really. It has no stupid name, although the picture of
some longhair redneck jumping in front of the logo offsets that.

However many you can fit in the lightbulb.

Can you imagine how uncomfortable it would be to lounge
around inside a light bulb for a while? Talk about back
pain! Those hard, round surfaces will fuck you up.

I'd like to be a neutron in one of those screw-in fluorescent
bulbs with the swirlly wrap around shell.

You can be a neutron if you want, but I'd prefer to be an electron
any day. They get all the glamor jobs.

A neutron, seperated from an atomic nucleus has a half-life
of eleven minutes.
And electron seems to be eternal.
A proton has a half life on the order of 100 billion years.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

From: "Col. Sphinx Drummond" <sphinx@subgenius.com>

In that case I'd rather be a proton. But what's this half life? I want
3/4!!!

You know? It's like

"Here I am, a Proton. I'm 50 billion years old, and I'm NOT GETTING
ANY YOUNGER. Those fucking -Electrons- spend half their life
spontaneously emitting photons, oh THEIR shit don't STINK, but when
was the last time -I- spontaneously emitted a photon? Have I -ever-
spontaneously emitted a photon? Was it all just bullshit? I don't
even want to think about my chances of forming a valence bond.

It's time to GET OFF MY ASS!

On the other hand maybe if I bashed my head against the nucleus hard
enough I could trigger a chain reaction.

THAT would show these motherfuckers. They'd remember MY name."
