Okay, so I gave birth to my daughter 7:49 AM July 5,
right? Well the even
more improbable happens:
My soft-spoken Tennessee Southern mother is visiting
for a week to see her
grandchild. She has been busting to ask me about the
Dobbsheads she sees in
my Geek Nook. So finally she asks about "Bob".
Note: This is the woman who has grown exponentially
in emotional and mental
clarity since I left home 14 years ago. This is someone
who was going to
heebie-jeebie churches and forbidding the occult Smurfs
on Saturday morning.
She has become a real and amazing person since then,
has grown from Pink
Latent to Pounding Mutant, and has culminated in finally
inquiring about
"Bob".
So I show her "Arise!" And you know what
happens? She loves it! One week
after she arrives she's going home saying fuck this
and fuck that, courtesy
my husband's respectful Northern Ireland treatment of
the English language,
and not only that, the word "SLACK" is now
part of her vocabulary.
I'm speechless. And I now officially have nothing internal
to rebel
against. It's kind of liberating. She and I both know
for sure now that
the WORLD is fucked up and WE are fine. We are now
three generations of
Connieite: one by Latency, one by Mutancy, and one by
birth.

I showed a family member "Arise!" recently
and came to the conclusion
that some people will never never never 'get' Arise!
He watched it three times and didn't get it. I was
asking to get it
back and he's saying "well if I just watch it a
COUPLE MORE TIMES I
think I would get it".

????
What's to "get"?
I don't get THAT.
I mean, it shows you "Bob," it shows you about
Slack and the
Conspiracy, it asks for $30... what esle is there? ...
Am I missing
something?

yeah that was what I was thinking. He was saying "maybe
I can ask you
some QUESTIONS about it". WHAT QUESTIONS? "BOB".
FLYING SAUCERS.
TITS. YOU -GET- IT.

Right on! Your story mirrors my mother perfectly. I
was raised in "the
church".I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music,
(had to hide my public
enemy tapes). In the last couple of years she did a
complete 360. She
realised that the "good xtians" did't actually
give a flying fuck about her,
or her family. They were the kind of folks who were
all about the hugs in
church, but in real life, would cross the road when
they saw her coming. She
sort of appologized for the whole forcing me to go to
church thing, and
realized that they only wanted her money, and didn't
know a damm thing about
"truth", no more than anyone else anyway.
I played her a tune from the hour
of slack, the Persuasions, doing this Zappa tune. She
was positivly gleeful!
She laughed her ass off, it was the medicine that she
needed. She was all,
"if my old church friends heard this, they would
shit themselves! You HAVE
to get me that album, I LOVE it." So, thank you
Stang, and everyone else who
has put work into this enterprise. This church helps
people to remember
remember themselves, and heals people through laughter.
The look on my moms
face was absolutely priceless. So for that, I truly
thank you all.
Lance out...

Well I'll be GOT-damned!!
This really is a great string of Historical Events you
have going here!
I am most sincerely happy to hear that. It comes at
a good time...
The only thing that worries me is the liklihood now
that your CHILD
will, with perfect dramatic irony, become the SubGenius-hating
government official who finally squashes my little business
like a bug.
(Only to later repent, of course!)
Can't help but try to find the movie-like hook in these
little true
life stories.

I still think the "The Chosen One" scenario
is the
best. Kind of an Arthurian thing, where she is
tutored by leprachauns or something, and then when
the BIG DAY comes, she pulls the ONE TRUE PIPE from
the mouth of "Bob" and then something happens.
I'm a little vague on that part--but I'm betting that
it would be a GOOD thing, with lots of wealth and
health and money and legal 'Fropping and friendship
and good food.
And *then* she destroys us all.

I printed that out and put it in the Movie file!
I wonder what else is in there. It's a pretty fat folder.
I've been
afraid to really look at it for about 10 years now.
