Greeting Friends in Slack,
I respond dutifly to the recent words spewn for in the throws of the
killer weed. Indeed, SLACK this may be, or is it the Killer LIES
of the conspiracy in an attempt to flail aside the off-Pinks in the
OXYGEN WARS?! Breath that CO2 and THCoids and bring slack forth from
the cloud, but can you know what you're doing?! Try O2 and find out
what FREE RADICALS really are! More fool me...
OOOO RRRR K K III LLL LLL M M EEEEE !!

O O RRRR KKK I L L M MM M EEE !!
O O R R K K I L L M M E
OOOO R R K K III LLLLL LLLLL M M EEEEE !!
Writing home from the O2 Wars,
Doctor Doughboy

SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP
Robert Sly, Ph.D.
Healing, Hacking, Loving:
Finding and Empowering Your Inner Luser
Every program you write is a sacred program. But many young hackers,
especially, have lost touch with the rituals and timeless archetypes
that bind them to other hackers in a tradition stretching back
through the decades. These symbols -- motifs, sacred objects, songs
and archetypes -- can help us ground negative energy associated with
hacking and bind us together in a holistic framework with the
applications we build, the systems we work with, and our user
communities.
Sitting in isolated offices, working on small, poorly-designed
systems that sit on our desks, many of us have never understood or
felt connected to those sacred dimensions of experience that
characterized ancient hacking -- the triple rainbow cycle of
development, the path to the machine room, the banishing of losers
from the system console. Robert Sly, Ph.D., will lead the
participants in this workshop on a shamanic journey to their own
inner machine rooms. Typing at our inner system consoles, we will
each find and load our own personal symbol tables, very carefully
patch our running systems, and proceed in an experience of
transcendent renewal.
Robert Sly, Ph. D., is an expert on Apollonian and Dionysian
traditions of hacking who has read The New Hacker's Dictionary,
memorized several of the definitions, and occasionally sent mail to
UNIX-HATERS. But he won't be at this week's
G I R L S C O U T B E N E F I T
at 5:30pm today in the seventh floor playroom, so we're safe! Come
on down, drink beer, and meditate until your personal power
application appears to you in a vision.

>From View from the Ledge 48 (another fine Chuck Shepherd production), a "News
of the Weird" with a looser, randomer format, here's a reprinted classified ad:
Software Astrologer

world-famous software astrologer, will prepare a customized star chart based
on your product's actual ship date (no vaporware dates, please). Guaranteed

testimonials: "Uncanny accuracy" - PK, Scotts Valley. "We picked the wrong
moment to ship our first Windows version and paid a terrible price" - JM,
Cambridge. "Get the date right and the rest is easy" - BG, Redmond.
For _your_ personalized star chart, send $50 and the date, time, and
location of your initial product shipment to Madam Suzan, 60 Cranmore Rd.,
Braintree, Mass. 02184; telephone 617/356-8068. Don't tempt fate - act now!

Bogus ad (vs. a "true" astrologer ad?), I'd say (hmmm, could BG be the Big
Billmeister hisself?), but cute - wonder if anyone sent her bucks.

...which will explain the message [im]printed all over religious Pink
brains:
"This mind intentionally left blank."
Oddly enough, this message is also printed all over SubGenius minds,
religious or not. However, WHO "It" `is' who intended this is QUITE
different.
