Most of the things listed in the book don't exist any more! What better source for current information than alt.slack? I propose that if you know of some utterly slackful or even slackless source, POST IT! That way, we can all join in the fun... I'll start. Here's a good one: Dean M. Epstein International Student Complex Alternative Learning Programs 1023 Hilgard Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90024-0841 (213) 208-7813 These people claim to want to promote "world harmony and understanding." All I can see that they do is ask for money (sound familiar?). Their approach is novel; at first, they act like they don't want your money, but, if you show the slightest interest, you will be bombarded with incredibly strange mailings (tantric healings, glasnost poetry, worms of the world) and, if you use a "foreign" sounding name, they will send you the most hilarious materials in bad foreign languages. I used a fake Japanese name, and had a friend look at the results. He said it was meaningless nonense-but what a concept! Their English stuff is pretty good, so I used another address and wrote in German-the results were wild! I'm not sure what this is all about, but it is funny, and since I think it is at least partially tax supported, it should be free for the asking. Anyway, boys and girls, let's find the best sources of free entertainment and post 'em here! "Bob" would want you to! -------------------- >I recommend "The Skeptical Inquirer" as an excellent and refreshing >alternative to the unsubstantiated claims of the paranormal that we are >frequently exposed to and often asked to accept.

Box 9477 Berkeley, CA 94709-0477 The NSCE is mainly concerned with science education in public schools, and especially with countering the attempts to introduce "creationism" into public school *science* curricula. There are state organizations, commonly called "Committees of Correspondence," loosly associated with NSCE, and sharing the same goals. The California Committee publishes BACC SCIENCE. Four other committees publish regular newsletters. A listing of these newsletters can be found in the July-August NSCE REPORTS. -------------------- CREATION/EVOLUTION 7 Harwood Drive P.O.

Those adult playthings that are sucked upon to please the Andrew Jacksonheads in our pockets. Pablumstyles of the Rich and would-be-famous. Let us speak instead of the Xists Giant Terrarium, that ozone depleted chunk of rock we call the Earth. It is now nearly 2000 years since a guy was nailed to a tree for saying how nice it would be if we would all give each other some slack. Things are even weirder now than they were then and this is the first run-on sentence of the third paragraph and if you don't like it, well kill me, and I'll just keep right on talking, er, typing, er having telepathy with this silicon life form because I just had a Margarita on a Sunday afternoon after decorating the house because the CON says I should and I don't want to blow my cover just yet because great things are in store for the following solar year that the CON says is 1991 but really isn't because they've brainwashed us all and changed the calendar on us and decided not to tell the really stupid people because they might panic and then the CON would have a whole pile of excrement on their collective appendages and the Sunday afternoon Sun coming through my office window is setting on my would-be-bleeding head and Frosty the Snowman is on the root window of my Xist Window screen and I'm feeling a little... Oh wow. There's a cloud outside my window that looks like a flying Saucer.

I bet those ladies down at Job Service who threw me out don't have one, although actually what I have is a loaner mind they had lying around at the Place, they really kept my mind, I didn't like the idea at first but after their drugs and treatments under the Machine I came to see that it was best that my mind be kept there for analysis and experimentation, for the safety of humanity...Yeah, it's true that I've been bad...slackless...I've taken the Con's false drugs and partaken of it's false sex...but I repent, and I pray: O "BoB", you know that I am a fucker, a dickwad, shithead, and a pee-monger But "BoB", as you see me in my...naked glory Glorify me, that I may glorify YEE, yeah YEE who was were not the prophet spoken of by the prophet Eez-a--pee when he saith: Dokters fer BoB...and yet was somehow unconnected to the later slaying of John Lennon.
