WHAT!?!!!  Taiwan ain't 'MERKIN ?  Call in Lieutenant Wilkes!

"Lieutenant Wilkes reporting, SIR!"

Lieutenant, secure Taiwan, and make it the 51st state!

"Yes, SIR!"

And while you are there, bring back some Kung Pao Chicken, and some
Hell Notes!

"Yes, SIR!"


Whew!  It's so nice to know that alt.slack has its very own obedient

JESUS is not a mushroom, no sir,  GAWD is a mushroom!   Yes, a mighty
fungus over 100 feet tall!  You can see him perched on hills, often 
colored dark green, with a crutch on each of four corners and grafitti
painted on his side.  Pinks refer to him as "that water tower over there"
(misprinted by Jehovah's Witless as "Watch Tower") and actually DRINK
HIS HOLY PISS!  Idiots - that's what beer is for!  

All I can say is, don't have JHVH-1's pisswater on your breath on July 5,
1998, or you're gonna hafta "walk the line", while we fire on you like

Besides, if Jesus was a mushroom, how would he hold the machine gun?

I need to now, badly, what the parity (even mode, please, this is through 
Kermit) is of a ten-stroke roll and a paradiddle. This will be 
transmitted through laser resonance telegraphy by a VIC-20 running kermit 
to a hewlit packard calculator mounted on LANDSAT-7 by means of a 
faux-ruby laser. I had to cut down, beleive me, I don't even have $20 to 
send you, or the time (or energy) to kill you. The armatron with special 
interface to the VIC-20 pushes a felt pad around in a circle on a 
half-full beer bottle mounted on the laser, creating harmonics which are 
read and de-coded by the HP 41CV on the bottom of landsat (that's why its 
orbit is so erratic, the extra .03 kg threw the launch vehicle off) 
Kermit is just software I ripped off from the local university computer 
center -- what? It's PD???? All that work down the drain. Shit. Well, I 
also need the checksum of:
"send $20 to Lot 49, Pynchon Hall, state college pa, 16801. Now"
No period is necessary after the "now" because the message repeats 
immediately. I'm planning to amalgamate this into a the 3rd clarinet part 
of a mahler symphony. God will hear.

Hmmm, I wonder how many toxins (heavy metals, etc...) have accumulated in
god's liver during his eternal existence.  Or perhaps since he is divine
there are no pollutants for his liver to clense....

Hmmm... this question has been a source of argument in the two local clenches
here...

Is Pink Floyd... Pink??

My answer is no... as a Personal Savior of the Pagan SubGenii, and ordained
Overman and High Priest. Those in my clench have had a liking for Pink Floyd
even from their early days of childhood.

To back this decision (an official decision of the Devolutionized Church of the
Pagan SubGenius), I might add that other such phenonemons do exist...

Take this into thy pipe:
        "Pink Flamingoes" - A John Waters film starring Divine... 
                        A must see for all true SubGenii
        Pink Boyz - a Doktor Band (now defunct?)

     Actually, "avoirdupois" comes from the French "avoir du pois" or
"having peas."  "Pouvoirdupois" is actually spelled "poivredupois",
which is the same thing but with pepper.

The specific gravity of pure gold is 19.3, and a cubic foot is 28317 cc,
so a cubic foot of gold masses 547 kg, just over 1200 pounds.  It would
crash through every floor of your house and wind up in the basement,
since it exerts a pressure of 1200 lb/sq ft.

You notice that God used to be in on people's lives all the time a while 
back.  In biblical times God used top poke His nose into everyones 
business all the time. Yet it's been years since anyone has heard from
him. 

It all goes back to this pinhead monk in Tibet.  This jerk decided to
be a smart ass and asked God what the value of PI was.  And so God
answered. 
 
..and is still answering.  For the last couple of a hundred years.  The
numbers just keep rattling off but God apparently feels he has a point to
prove.  


Hopefully in another few centuries God will get decide his point was made
and get on with things...

God _is_ pi, which is why He tastes so good a la mode.
