Brother Cleve Dunkan founded the Maltafarians in the late 80s I
believe, and produced numerous rants on paper and tape about it. I
believe the main rant is in text on SubSITE somewhere. The audio is on
an old great SubGenius tape called BAD DOKTORS, which is the next one
I'm converting to CD after Media Barrage 5.

I just did a search on my whole computer for "maltafari" and nothing
came up, so maybe it's NOT on SubSITE. It was in one of the olde Stark
Fists.... I am planing to revse those for a reprint book if I can ever
get clear of all this clerkage.

Brother Cleve "Donut" Dunkan--currently the keyboardist for Combustible
Edison, unless he got fired again--came up with the Maltafarian sect
and has a rant on The Way Of The Maltafari. He authorized Fools' Press
to release the rant as a pamphlet, back in the day when Fools' Press
still did that sort of thing. I have a tiny stash of this pamphlet
still, and I might be willing to part with one if you begged and
pleaded enough. Or gave me a dollar. I'm not picky, just broke. At
least I've paid off most of the credit card debts I got from printing
up those pamphlets....

Anyhow, e-mail me at lilith @ subgenius . com for details.

You'll say that the 50's isn't the present, but we'll have to differ on
