The NNDB seems to be selective about who they add, and I see no mechanism for adding more people, making this mapper rather incomplete on many levels.

In case anyone checks here--there is a known troll on alt.slack who is claiming the devival was canceled. Given that any official info will come from either myself or Kimberlily of ChickenHed, our devival partners, I recommend taking this with a dumptruck of salt, and shrug it off as typical devival shenanigans.

@TAKUAN: Oh, OK--I thought you were saying we can't leave the planet, but I'm sure the Xists can accomodate your reasonable request and just Rupture the whole building. Why not?

@TAKUAN: Oh, OK, that's doable--I thought you were saying nobody could leave the EARTH. I'm sure the Xists would respect your reasonable request and take the whole building should it come down to that.

@DCULBERSON: http://www.subgenius.com/ will help alleviate that confusion for you.

@TAKUAN: Huh? I thought we ALL wanted to leave, now.

@TAKESHI: If the world doesn't end first *ahem* there will be future devivals, but whether there's one next year will depend on how this one goes. So far, this one looks like it might be big enough to consider a follow-up devival next year, but we'll see.

@GIANTNEGRO: I wouldn't expect Buck to approve--but he has not been involved in SubGenius for over a decade. Still, the first devival I preached at was hosted by Buck, and it was a dammy-fine devival at that.

@KRYSPYJO: Hail Sister Krys! I haven't heard anything from East Orange in a while--do you still have your radio show? As for Janor, he's alive and well and apparently performing his Mr. TV routine in San Francisco. I think Puzzling Evidence had him on his show sometime in the past couple of years, but it sounds like Janor forgot, or didn't care about, FCC regulations, so it's not clear if that'd happen again any time soon.

@MOONRACER23: A Happy Mutant is a Superior Mutant, or so it would seem.

PRABOB

@TAKESHI: Sorry I missed you earlier, but note this is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY Final SubGenius Devival. I'll be explaining it at the devival itself.

@HAYDUKE: I'd grant that it helps if you grew up aware of all the weirdness that poses as normal in our world, especially in a religious vein. Dallas, where I was born, is called the Buckle of the Bible Belt for good reason, but it is no stranger to odd religious beliefs of all sorts. That, plus growing up in the town where Kennedy was supposedly shot by Oswald, as well as having a steady diet of bad science-fiction on Dallas TV, guaranteed I'd be primed for "Bob" when I finally encountered his face in, of all places, the Sunday newspaper.

But I digress. Perhaps the day will come when you'll encounter that one key bit that will make you see things from our point of view, and Slack will come your way in spades.

@BUDDY66: No, it's BULLDADA. There's a difference--we're not going for incomprehensibility or subconscious expression, but layers of thick, deep, rich MEANING, yes, actual CONTENT, under the surface appearance of nonsense and fantasy. Let Dobbs be your entrenching tool, friend, and DIG IT.
