Heed my words, oh miniscule and pulchritudinous ones. Hear and heed, you who do not fellatiate, and you who know not the meaning of the great and high remex. The end is near. You must heed and follow the things I will speak unto you, the words of the great gods, the god of the windowshade, the god of the distributor cap, the god of the blue bikini underwear and most importantly the god of the dead japanese beetle somewhere on the campus of rutgers university. By heeding these words, you will improve the gas mileage of your car, enter into a new age of harmony, peace, happiness, and belgian waffles. Bring things home each day and not pay for them until next september, and make sure that your live is sanctioned and guarded by the great race of aliens which will land any day now in Starkville Mississippi and revolutionise the way you wash dishes. Be sure to not be left out when all human males become obsolete as females flock to the alien males and their new, improved, user-friendly genitalia mark five systems! You must make your genitalia blue, anointing it with indigo. Anoint also your ears, your nose, the back of your neck, and the fourth toe of each foot, the most holy of all toes. I speak to you of the coming of the greater race. You shall know them by their stature, by their countenance, by their language, unlike any that man has ever heard, and by their sexual prowess. Behold, they shall land in a small town, Starkille, and shall walk the earth among the children, and you shall not know them. Many will say in those days, "The gods are walking the earth, the gods are walking the earth," but they shall be scoffed upon and spit upon and fucked hard by prostitutes in cheap motels then bankrupted by the media. But you will pay them no attention and merely stop sending your donations. But then, the greater race will reveal themselves in all their glory for all mankind to see. The truth will be known, and the truth will be that mankind has not paid their lease and is being evicted, a new race takes over the planet, please move the furniture out and clean the carpeting before you leave. Behold a wonder: your children and their children shall mate, producing a better race yet, but you, the unbelievers, shall be sentenced to 40 time units of wandering in the outer dust clouds of the andromeda sector aboard a tiny spaceship called the minnow. So, lo, woe, yo, repent while you still are young on an archaelogic scale. The world must be saved by the horrors that are low-density disks, AM radio, and non-FOX television. You must learn to live without processed spinach products, to wean your children on their father's milk,. and to accept that power strips and LSD are things of the past. Synthesise your offspring carefully so that when the time of the great choosing comes, your sons and daughters may be chosen by the greater race to participate in furthering their race, in the strange ritual of the cosmic fuck, the antithesis of the hells of knowledge, riches, and power, the fulfillment of the postmodern dream of red lights, t-squares, and paint blotches. Prepare yourselves for the day of the final inkblot judgement, wherein all shall be tested for blot and blood type. In that day, some will say, "verily, it is an aston-martin, in O positive." To those, the coming one will say, "farewell, you were never a phlebotomist, just a prick, depart from here into an eternity of dimness and cheap paperback novels and genuine IBM computers." But in that fateful day, some will say, "truly, it is two schnauzers chasing a naked woman, in AB negative." To those, the coming one will say, "come, join me at the cosmic sock hop, you are one of my own, you will live an eternity of free drinks and beautiful tragically hip waifs." For I have been spoken these things by the angels of light, hermetic seals, and the small purple man painted on my wall, who read them from the great platinum plates upon which they were inscribed from the supernatural force of the great god of the cunny, who swallows all things for the better of his followers. I have seen the light, I have been enlightened, I speak the truth to you, heed it and save your lives and those of your fellow neighbour's wife and your neighbour's ass, or do not hear my words, and turn a deaf ear to them, and forever suffer in this meaningless existance. The gods have spoken, I have written, and the pen, having writ, runs out of ink, on this, the next to the last of the last days... 1-The Book of Shag-0 2*****End quoted text*****0 4What??0 You mean it doesn't make any sense to 3you0 either? 1Yours truly and sign it, 5Nick 6Danger0 Nick Danger #174 @3456 Mon Dec 17 23:02:22 1990 More slack lifted from Usenet, the network of 5champions!0 This time, a few words about those dreaded harbingers of the 5Xists0, the Men in Black (MIB): *****1Begin quoted text*****0 From: pashdown@javelin.es.com (Pete Ashdown) Newsgroups: alt.slack Subject: Re: men in black Date: 11 Dec 90 23:45:14 GMT Organization: Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp., Salt Lake City, Utah Lines: 62 00kepulver@bsu-ucs.uucp writes in sci.sceptic: >here's what i got in my memory, its not much but i don't have any of my books >with me, sorry. > the men in black are supposed to be a super seccret organization that >are trying to silence ufo investigators and contactees. they wear all black >suits, drive big old gas guzzling cars (chevy's and lincons (sic) usually) and >travel in ones, twos and threes, they talk either very formally or like a bad >ganster movie, some have been dumbfounded by ordinary devices like pens and >silverware, and they usually claim to be from the government. 1the men in black all smile. they have pipes and love a good sale. 1if you corner one, he will most likely give you a pamphlet. > the first mib encounter supposedly happened in texas in 1897. some >pottery fell from the sky and an oriental looking man dressed in black bought >up all the fragments. 1what was even more odd is that he was driving a lincon continental in 11897. >more recently they contacted a man named bender in the >fifties and told him to stop his investigations. they even ahd a letter that >he had sent to a friend describing his theories about the reasons why ufos are >here. 1plus a weird book and a hearty appetite for sex and something called 1"frap" or "frup". i cant rembher. > the main reason mib's appear is to stop ufo research. they always seem >to appear to people who have gotten close to the "real" reason why the ufos are >here and take these people's evidence. 1the ufos also like to take money and slack and grils. > a good book your friend may want to read is _the philadelphia >expirement and other ufo conspriacies_, it may be hard to find, i got my copy >from a new age bookstore, there is also an article about mibs in >the journal of american folklore, but im not sure on the date, i can look it up >and email or post it if you are interested. also, the time life book about >ufos has a one page article about mib, and aricel comics has a great three >issue limited series about them, but that wouldn't be very good for research. 1your friend should also brush up on his sales teckniches. > need any more information go ahead and email me and ill send along what >i can. 1Sir, 1If you do not stop publishing information about the Men-In-Black(tm), 1we will have to resort to further Thought-Control(tm) techniques. 1Your friend, 1Man-In-Black(tm) -- 1"While you are here, your wives and girlfriends are dating handsome American 1 movie and TV stars.

See "Bob" suck face with some blonde! Hear "Bob" sing "Gee, I wish I was back in the army!" Watch as "Bob" is totally confounded by the female sex!

Ever since I called the Robert Tilton Ministries at (214) 620-6200 and asked for my "free book", I have been mailed, free of charge: The aforementioned book, _God's Miracle Plan for Man_ (5$$$0 --> salvation) Three "miracle" prayer cloths A package of miracle anointing oil The Jordan River Holy Anointing Water flask 5 large posters of Bob The "Miracle Ropes of Deliverance" to "Bind Demons" (see p.128, #15, the BOOK) Several copies of their magazines and newspapers Many, many, many "convincing" Biblical arguments for why I should send $$$$ ...and lots more! 4Bob Tilton is a SubGenius.0 Here are a few reasons why: 1) He rips off pinks for a living 2) He rants like a mother fucker ("Satan I BIND THEE! Demons of tobacco smoking I BIND THEE! Demons of lymph node cancer I BIND THEE!") In fact, in his latest rant, just today he said: "I'm a Pink Duck, I'm not a white duck! They don't know what to do with me! Everyone else is a white duck, they just waddle around...I'm drunk with the holy spirit today...I'm a Pink Duck..." 3) He signs everything "Bob", (no quotes, but close enough!) 4) Where does he live? Dallas, TX? Hmmm... 5) The latest copy of his newspaper had a drawing on the cover that looked almost exactly like the cover of "Three-Fisted Tales", except it was Tilton's face instead of J.R.'s. The article is entitled, "Take Your Foot Off the Brake"...sound familiar? If you want to fall over laughing every couple of days when you read your mail, call (214) 620-6200 and ask them to "send you information." You'll be on their mailing list for months. Don't give them your phone number, though. Do it, or kill me. I usually have too much slack to even care about posting, but something about this article in the latest issue of "Circle of Blessing", written by Tilton's wife made me do it: "You wives must submit to your husbands' leadership in the same way you submit to the Lord. For a husband is in charge of his wife in the same way Christ is in charge of his Body the Church...So you wives must willingly obey your husbands in everything, just as the Church obeys Christ." -Marte Tilton God I love fundamentalists.
