Well, first off, it's a mailing list not a newsgroup, so what'd you go
subscribing for, or even find it, if you didn't know what it was?
Lately this lists purpose has been to chastise persons new to the net
abound in cluelessnessosity. Especially those who don't know where to send
their unsubscribe requests (hint, it's not here), or are out of their minds
until Belgium...
But, we have not always had such worthy goals. Chuck Shepard used to
post his News of the Weird here, weeks before it was in the paper, but alas
we've not heard from him since some Pink Lawyers sucked his brains. Still,
this was usually a good place to post your things about people doing silly
things, especially in the name of organized religon.
The SubGenius, is one who belongs to disorganized religon...
Actually, I've not seen this in a while, so why I don't go ahead and
post this "sort of a FAQ" for the list...
...or kill me.

IF you suspect that things are much worse than you ever suspected-
IF the only thing you've been able to laugh at for the last 5 years
is the fact that NOTHING is funny anymore-
IF you sometimes want to collar people on the street and scream that you're
more different than they could possible *imagine*-
IF you can possibly help us with a donation-
IF you see the whole universe as one vast morbid sense of sick humor-
IF the current "Age of Progress" seems more like the Dark Ages to you-
IF you are looking for an inherently contradictory religion that will
condone megadegeneracy and yet tell you that you are "above" everyone else-
Then... ___________________________

could *save your sanity!*
-Your secret wishes can be granted in full- *once you know what they are!*
"You'll PAY to know what you REALLY think."-J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, 1961
NOW, AT LAST! The step-by-step process is revealed! THIS IS IT!
- the only "faith" that promises
ACTION- THRILLS- SUCCESS IN SEX AND BUSINESS!

Feeling like there's just no SLACK?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may have 'snapped' already from the information disease! ("The
sleep of reason begets monsters.") Look to the High Unpredictables of the
Church of the SubGenius for pancultural deprogramming and resynchronization!
Perfect your subliminal vision -edit your memory- *relive your reincarnality*
SYNC UP! THE SUBGENIUS MUST HAVE SLACK!
Using SubGenius secrets of BULLDADA and MOREALISM you can now
MIRACULOUSLY ELIMINATE COMPULSIVE URGES such as smoking, eating, sleeping,
working; end baldness, constipation, sex-money problems, assouliness, and
painful shortage of SLACK!
*Become a Doktor* of the Forbidden Sciences...make religon a
kick-ass adventure! Indulge in Self-Help through Raising Hell!

Thought you'd tried everything? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET! Learn to
THINK BIG! Develop the tricks of Length Extension! Bring your *weirdest
dreams* to rampaging LIFE!
Stand erect for you own abnormality. WISE UP! *They're* out to get
you.
The "different" are being silenced by a global conspiracy. WIERDOS
ARISE!! You probably already knew that the U.S. Government is a SHAM-
something propped up there for you to *blame*. But did you know that the
*real* "powers that be" are not even *people*? That they are actually
shambling, unbelievable, unmentionable, unthinkable THINGS??
YES! JEHOVAH *IS* AN ALIEN AND STILL THREATENS THIS PLANET!
Defy the sinister "Star Forces" which mock us all. Evil demons have
kept the truth from humanity for thousands of years - God has been misquoted
all this time! His actual words may disturb you...but "Bob" Dobbs is a
bulwark against the unbearable fear and anxiety tormenting manking. "There's no
'Prob'...With "Bob"!"
"Bob" is a way of life to *millions* - yet *half* of them don't even
KNOW it! He is the one true LIVING SLACK MASTER with the spiritual know-how
to help you BASH THROUGH the locked doorway to FINANCIAL HEAVEN. He is the
*only* real Short-Cut to Slack.
SEE ANOTHER DIMENSION ON YOUR TV
"Bob's" promise is to widen the scope and nature of *abnormal
behavior*...to explore NEW WAYS of going over the edge *and coming back*.
PLUS to *bring back those who couldn't on their own*...to help you create the
HIGHEST POSSIBLE EARNINGS from the PSYCHODYMANICS of ABNORMALITY...
to turn Conspiracy-implanted personality disorders AROUND and channel them
into an ILLUSION OF CREATIVITY that will *fool normals* and GET YOU SEX!
As you learn more and more reliable, safe methods of Time Control,
you will find your I.Q. increasing - your very cranium will seem to pulsate
from within, barely able to contain the turmoil of glorious new concepts and
mental skills. Soon you'll be able to withstand COMMUNICATION WITH THE *XISTS*, our
*mentors in space*; you will be ready for TRANSFIGURATION into a *new
physical body*, a more powerful one, built to contain the surging mental and
material mutations that your brain now generates. YES - become an OVERHUMAN, a
dangerous and feared superhuman of the future! Yet - because your SubGenius
roots can never be forgotten - you won't be able to abuse your powers, but
instead make them an unstoppable force for GOOD and JUSTICE, choosing always
to defend the oppressed SubGenius wherever they may be!
The world is a turkey, and "Bob" gives you the carving knife.
Fear THE STARK FIST OF REMOVAL no longer!
Become PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE- overnight!
Attain STATUS-LUCK-PROSPERITY by *blowing them off*!
When you join this "Order of the Knights of Wotan," you get a mastery of
*fighting skills*...good health, an attractive personality,
a WEIRD ABILITY TO INFLUENCE OTHERS! To BEND THEM to your WILL!
You'll learn INCANTATIONS that lead to MASTERY over FISCAL PLANES... the
OCCULT TECHNOLOGY of FINANCE POWER...E-Z ways to borrow money - from
*other people who don't have it either!"
Achieve SHEER GUT BLOWOUT.
Our "ascetism" consists solely of the abstinence from abstinence.
Give up the not giving into of temptation! Think thoughts that no human has
ever dared think before. You CAN learn to recall memories from the past that
you had forgotten, or that never existed at all.
CONTACT ALIENS BOTH BENEVOLENT AND EVIL!
The Church of the SubGenius the first and last stand against a
crumbling world filled with Pinks and Glorps.
"SURVIVE THE GREAT CATACLYSMS THROUGH UFO TRANSPORT!"
You too can can be a part of this WAVE OF THE FUTURE!
Make *strangeness* work for YOU!
Thought you were 'ordinary'? WRONG.
Tap your secret Abnormality Potential.
Take control through liberated weirdness.
RADICAL INSANITY!
WEIRDOS: Feel smarter than those around you, but constantly stomped back?

I can't believe you assholes are still at it. You're used to dealing with the law, where judges and other lawyers _have_ to listen to your nonsense and crap.
Well this is the Internet, and for a few more years (until bastards like you can figure a way to STEAL IT FROM US) it's a co-operative Anarchy. Every time you post, a hundred thousand people are able to flame you so badly that your wires would be short-circuited and you'd shoot out of your info-sockets like a scorched cat in an old cartoon!
Broadband advertising to all netnews groups is so STUPID AND CROOKED a practice that no one but a shyster lawyer could think of it.
Go ahead. Wide-Post again, and millions will gladly shove your advertisement up your virtual butts again. And again. Until you stop.
I am sure that neither of you would ever establish a lucrative career in TEACHING PEOPLE TO FAKE WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS. And obviously, you do not need to be HABITUAL PERJURY COACHES. And, of course, neither of you ever TAKE IT UP THE BUTT IN THE JUDGE'S CHAMBERS. Nor would either of you ever PRACTICE AUTO INSURANCE FRAUD. And no one could accuse you of REPEATED ACTS OF CHILD MOLESTATION.
But you might consider making a career from one or more of the above. And leaving the rest of us alone.
