JUST DO IT

http://www.geocities.com/fnordbr/

This is a complete and utter surprise to me. From what I can read of
the Portugese, they got their history right.

This is the COOLEST SubGenius website EVER!!

I probably met the person who did this amazing website, in the 90s, but
I can't figure out yet which Araruamaian he or she is yet. GGG is
surely snoozing or I'd call him right now and see what he thinks about
it.

Looks like someone's giving Gurdieff of Gorgonzola a run for your money.

Well, it does goes on and on and on about G. Gordon Gordon like he's
some sort of later day John Frumm. Narry a mention of you, old chap.

This is my favorite part:

Para a própria segurança dos internos, tudo o que se passa em nossas
instalações está sendo constantemente filmado pelas mais de 606 câmeras
escondidas e 333 microfones espalhados por toda a propriedade. No final
de cada dia há uma avaliação individual sobre a a atuação e
comportamento de cada hospede, que estará então sujeita a diversas
premiações ou então a humilhação e punição pública.

Roughly translated, it says: for your security, there's 606 hidden
cameras and 333 microphones recording your every move, and at the end
of each day they'll review your behaviour and either reward you, or
humiliate and punish you publicly.

Guess I better book now for Mardis Gras!

The funny thing about that is that there have been dozens and dozens
such "schisms". The difference between Turdjie's and all the previous
clenches is that the others all at least have websites and can spell
"Bob's" name right.

That's as it should be. It's not called Stangstown and I didn't found
it.

I did take some funny home movies there a long time ago, though.

That's in keeping with Dobbstown tradition!

WHOA!!! I had not spotted that phrase and probably never would have.
But now that you point it out -- even with just Spanish I can see it's
"Something-them if they can't ______ a ______."

I called up Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, The Man Who Beat Death Thrice, and
unless it's ALL another of his fiendish tricks, this was as much a
surprise to him as it was to me. He had seen the main Brazilian clench
site, but not this. He couldn't believe that anyone in Araruana had a
computer. I had to remind him that 15 years have passed and by now
probably everybody in Brazil who doesn't live in a cardboard box has a
laptop, and that even though he had suddenly had to flee Dobbstown III
that awful night, torching it and leaving it in ruins so that the
Brazilian Army couldn't get to any secret technology mistakenly left
behind, there's no reason why enterprising Brazilians, inspired by his
example, couldn't have rebuilt it into the gleaming tourist attraction
we see in this exotic website.

Despite the terrible memories of that last night of fire, this all
makes me want to break out my old video 8 movies of Dobbstown III and
our side-trip to Rio, where, on the beach, I filmed butts for half an
hour. The stories about the butts on those beaches is true. The stories
about the balls in vicegrips in Dobbstown, that's all a lie.

At least the part that goes, "...and some folks say they are still
there." Nobody actually says that.
