read articleWREK Podcast Feeds
As part of the blog migration I am fixing old posts and their tags. This led me to a post announcing that I set up some bootleg podcast feeds for WREK 91.1 FM, the Georgia Tech student station. I used to work at this station as a student and again at various points as an alumnus. When I was laid...

read articleWestboro Baptist: God Hates Spellcheckers
Tomorrow morning Westboro Baptist will bring their silly hate carnival show to my little town. It's been disappointing to me how effectively they can play the local media, which has been running news stories about them pretty regularly. They also are playing the people who counter-protest. Their...

I attended my first gay wedding in 1993 and it was a beautiful event. That couple is still together and is as strong a union as any married couple I know. When I was a child, I remember one of the main reasons provided for homosexuality being wrong was the high promiscuity associated with it. Never...
read articleMe and The Mormons
This evening we had a visit from a couple of "elders" from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints. Any religion that sets loose 19 year old kids on the public and calls them "elders" is one I find a little hard to take seriously from the git go. These young gentlemen...

read articleMy Own Quote of the Day
Driving home from work, listening to a Reverend Bleepo Abernathy rant on the Hour of Slack, a quote occurred to me: One man's doomsday is another man's payday. It seems like about 2/3 of the current news here in the USA could be something that quote applies to, be it economic meltdown and bank...

read articleRev. Magdalen Achieves Victory (But at a Price)
It looks like the custody case for the oppressed Subgenius young mother Reverend Magdalen has finally been resolved in her favor. That's the good news, and very good news it is. The bad news is that this has racked up $140,000 in legal bills in the process. I've given in several rounds of the...

Workety work, work, eat, workety work, work, sleep, work. The only thing breaking the routine is that right now I'm working while listing to last week's Hour of Slack, which was a rerun from 1987 of Rev. Ivan Stang interviewing Robert Anton Wilson about Subgeniusism, the Illuminati, the 24...

read articleSpammed by Subgenius
Overnight, I got a comment spam from the name "Norco Sasquatch." If that isn't the name of a Subgenius, it should be. I think Norco would be comfortable standing side by side with Philo Drummond and Norel Pref and Papa Joe Mama. I just got my papers recently for joining the church, maybe I...

With the podcast feeds of the Subgenius shows from WREK (XML feeds for Hour of Slack/Bob's Slacktime Funhouse here) and Puzzling Evidence on KPFA (XML feed here), I'm getting a lot of Subgeniuosity each week. I think it might be pushing me over the edge and loosening my already tenuous grip on...
