i think that roll of quarters was because they wanted to play the "Next
Level" and needed to feed the video game machine all over again.

I'd go with the Nikes. The Reebok Incubuses aren't available anymore.

The Egyptians held that to get to heaven you had to know the name of
everything on the way. As for Interstellar Overdrive, yessirree is
sure is a toll road, but you gotta have the ticket AHEAD OF TIME, YEE-HAW!

Laurence Roberts <larrybob@io.com> sent bitwaves which read:
}Pathfinder.com has put up a mirror of the cult's website heavensgate.com.
}This is the stuff about their philosophy, not their business stuff like
}the other site.
}
}Also, use Dejanews and search for articles authored by rep@highersource.com
}You'll find long articles like
} AN E.T. YOU MUST BECOME BEFORE YOU DIE TO GO TO HEAVEN
}TIME TO DIE FOR GOD? OR ARMAGEDDON -- WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
} PRESENT CIVILIZATION'S CLOSURE AT HAND -- BE PREPARED

All very mundane and normal when placed alongside the sub-subsection
heading in the Book of the SubGenius. So what's the big deal? If they
ewre so fucking newsworthy, how come they had to die to get heard of?

Compare with the fact that WE got mentioned on the NPR show about them,
and nobody had to die to do it. That death shit sucks. It's for weakling
cults that can't make news any other way.

I guess humans have been acculturated to worshiping things that die.
It seems to rub off awful easy. For my money, these bozos are no longer
viable brain food. I mean, I appreciate having less competition for True
Believers and all, but they've gone and offed themselves, making them
out to have been much less competition in the first place.

"Will you still be sane enough to laugh when what must come to pass
comes to pass?" Hell, will you still be metabolizing enough to laugh?

They were chicken shits and I'm already tired of them.

Let's find a nice ANIMATED cult to to battle with.
