Subject: At the Grocery Store
Pulling into the grocery store parking lot, I parked behind someone with
fine examples of Christian wit stuck to the rear bumper:
Don't be caught dead without Jesus
and
Get right or get left
I assume this second saying is concerned with the Second Coming, where the
saved people fly up to heaven and the rest of us are left on Earth. Probably
kind of scary to think about if you're driving behind this car on the highway,
as in "What happens to his car if he's called up to Christ's bosom right now?"
Then, after the shopping experience, I noticed that there is a candy machine
(25 cents) with Jerry Lewis saying "Help My Kids", Muscular Dystrophy, etc.
What is interesting is that the all-industrial candy pieces ("froot shapes")
in the machine were called "RUNTS".

"Heavy Metal Dub" is an instrumental Dub record with a Star Trek
inspiration. Here are the titles:
Having Fun With The Klingons
Rocking Time Warp Dub
Jah Love All Aliens
Conversation With Kahn
Queen Of The Icotion
Party Time On The Enterprise
Dread In A Remulacks Dub
Lazer In The Sky Dub
Smerf Wak Head Beat
It's (c) Blue Moon Records.
Anybody interested in producing a Dread Star Trek version? Let's have
Buckaroo Banzai meet the Jah Enterprise, the Lectroids (assuming the
human shape of Rastamen) joining his rock group in a Reggae/Dub
session, fighting the Klingons and Babylon, etc. Like, you know, a
Dread Zeppelin kind of thing.

Hi!
I have become a full convert to the church of the subgenius!
I have quit my job at NCR in order to devote more time to slack.
My new email address is:
