| I'll be in LA for part of next week. What are the "must see" sights?
| I have a copy of "John Waters' Tour of LA", and the "life-style hell"
| Los Angeles special issue of Spy. What do left coast subgenii
| recommend for a suitably slackful visit?
You should stop by the West Coast offices of The Church of the Oyster
Shuckin' Jesus, which is located in beautiful Rustic Canyon.
The must-visit bookstore is A*M*O*K, located just off Sunset Boulevard
in beautiful Silverlake.
Also the Flynn Estate can be quite fun to romp around.
Hey kids, the church headquarters are being considered for the filming
of "ROCK" -- that movie of the week about Rock Hudson's life.

Hello fellow slackers! I have often read of people's great luck
at working at what they call "the slackest company" around. Rarely, however,
have I read of people bragging about how pink their company is.
I think my company is the pinkest around. Here's why!
It is run by fundamentalist christians.
There is a monthly corporate meeting in which the name of the
Lord is invoked at least a half dozen times.
There is a weekly corporate prayer where you can pray for the
economic (and, uh, of course, spiritual) health of the company.
As in, "Oh PLEASE Lord help stem this fourth quarter loss!".
Weekly technical meetings include a prayer, and of course some
sharing of technical information.
Any other pink company employees out there who have escaped brain-
washing?
