[net.misc] Sub-Genius Query

ucbvax:fair (04/25/83)

	A friend of mine is looking for information about "The Church of the
Sub-Genius". It is also known under the name "Sub-Genius Foundation, Inc."

	He's not on the USENET, but is reachable by mail, so if you have
any information, please mail to ucbvax!amd70!dual!bill. Please don't mail
responses to me.

Thanks,

I figured that this would be of general (if not miscellaneous)
interest, so I posted it here.

The Church of the SubGenius is a for-profit cult which believes in the
pursuit of Slack.  Its spiritual leader is J.R. (Bob) Dobbs, commonly
known as Bob.  Bob's right hand men are Philo Drummond and Ivan Stang,
and they work out of Dallas, Texas.  They have lots of terrific
philosophical literature and recorded material.  Their spewings will
make you laugh hard, they are quite clever and have a very warped sense
of humor (or is it morality) by most standards.  I don't have my
literature handy, but I do know that you can send one dollar to them at

	The SubGenius Foundation
	Box 140306
	Dallas, Texas 75214

and I assure you that you won't be disappointed with the package of
literature that you receive.  Praise Bob!

My brother is a 'member' or 'follower' of Dr. Bob and the Church
of the Sub-Genius.  I have met a geuine Sub-Genius Minister whose
name was (improbably) Buck Naked.  I will endeavor to collect
answers to questions about this organization that are mailed
to me and post the results to the net.
