Five by Five
Grasshopper update: when last we left our intrepid adventurer, he was about to boldly go where, like, about a million and a half people have gone before. He was going to confront the cult on their bullshit, make them see the error of their ways and lead them to the shining city on the hill where no one is asked to believe a pantload of mystical dren just to get laid.
Well.
Things didn't go exactly as planned, though he did garner some "thank you for asking the tough questions" praise from his, uh, "classmates." But he didn't land the big fish. Werner and Ayn didn't show up and haven't really responded to his emails or board postings, leaving him to spar with Squeaky and Harriet and Blah Blah Nyborg (who actually lead the indoctrination seminars).
In response to his increased demand for some sort of rational, scientific explanation for their recipe for transcendence through finger-frelling, the Family keeps responding with ever loopier "Lo, here is the Christ" leader-worship horseshit.
Grasshopper is getting aggravated. Yes he is. So much so that he has now set himself on a course to write The Great Exposè, wherein he will reveal their evil to the rest of us poor gullible saps who are clearly in danger of falling for their oh-so-clever mind-control techniques.
Oh, also he wants the two hundred dollars he spent on their Introduction To Being A Sucker seminar back.
Come back tomorrow, and I'll take you again.
Ciao, True Believers,
J.
