After reading all about Jed Smock, I started wondering about a guy that comes through Berkeley a couple of times a year. I don't know his name, but he believes that Stephen King and Richard Nixon conspired in the murder of John Lennon and claims that he got this information by reading between the lines of Time and Newsweek reports. Does this guy show up on other campuses, or is he just a Berkeley phenomenon? Wayne Citrin (ucbvax!citrin)

After pinching myself to be sure that he wasn't a hallucinatory byproduct of too many all-nighters, I listened and laughed. Hell, people pay good money to see Church of the Subgenius shows and this guy was ranting as well as any subgenius I've seen, for FREE. I'll believe him as soon as someone convinces me that Ronald Reagan is a real human and not a Walt-Disney-audio-animatronic robot. Speaking of nut cases, Rev Gene Scott got his PhD at Stanford. His TV preaching is so pathetic, so blatantly phoney, so completely unfounded in reality.... it makes me giggle. I'm glad someone is out there is making a strong effort to reveal the hoax that IS Christianity to the general public. Most people don't realize it, but Jesus Christ was also a Walt-Disney-audio-animatronic robot.

As far as we are concerned (* the whole two of us *), this place has got a serious case of taking itself seriously... I mean really the humor index has hit an all-time low... So, to remedy this... if anyone hear's from Brother Jed... please urge him to visit BU and save my soul from the music of the Violent Femmes... or throw in Van Halen (*ugh* if you think its a better hook... david**2
