The reason for the Scientology Merry-Go-Round (A cycle of activity that is complex and difficult to break out of.) is DM’s gargantuan appetite for money… in spite of being such a midget!
Merriam-Webster’s definition:
“Gargantua is the name of a giant king in François Rabelais’s 16th-century satiric novel Gargantua. All of the details of Gargantua’s life befit a giant. He rides a colossal mare whose tail switches so violently that it fells the entire forest of Orleans. He has an enormous appetite – in one memorable incident, he inadvertently swallows five pilgrims while eating a salad. The scale of everything connected with Gargantua gave rise to the adjective “gargantuan,” which since Shakespeare’s time has been used of anything of tremendous size or volume.”
Food for thought… Maybe RB can draw a a huge DM with an enormous belly full of money, with a tiny, tiny head… and send a copy to the IRS.
Tubby’s obsession to always have increasing stats requires that future stats besacrificed to get THIS week’s up. of COURSE the stats will crash, flatlining at or near zero after awhile, but by then the staff will have gotten so depressed that they don’t give a damn. Neither will they get much motivated to do the long-term things necessary to get real stats. Realizing that that was the inevitable end of the rat race was when I started on my way home to the real world. What really set me off was that I couldn’t get any help, not even a friendly ear, from anyone, no matter how I tried. The best they had was the RPF,as if MORE degradation was the way to improve my spirits. Of course, it DID work after a fashion. I got too drpressed for even them to stand, got kicked out, and returned home and got a job that actually produced something valuable, and got paid a decent wage to do it. Felt GOOD! With my improved spirits came some sweeties who didn’t have the hangups of those SO women who were so repressed by the unsane and hypocritical rules Tubby instilled in the ’70s.
Thanos could learn a lesson or two from your typical staff registrar. They could talk him into putting his Infinity Gauntlet on account for a complete Basics set.
Hahaha. This was so spot on in the language. Person says something that staff/SO can’t really give a good answer to. Divert to: “Okay. Thank you for telling me that.” Like uhhh…you’re welcome? Another good one is “tracking”. Okay…cool. Glad we’re uh… tracking together.
The IRS should be utterly embarrassed that a little cult of insignificance has been able to outwit a branch of the United States government. So to you, Miscavige and scientology, a tip of the hat.
Or maybe the all-out-assault has been in the planning for years.
Maybe Trump would be inclined to reverse the exempt status of COS if he knew how much they would be paying in taxes and then he could figure out a way to use that money to do something else….like pay the secret service to go with him on his stupid golf outings!
Mec, as any American who didn’t sleep through basic elementary school classes knows, a PotUS has no such power. education knows, a President cannot do such things by fiat.
Please DO help by finishing grammar school and then contacting your House Rep about the CoS abuses.
And finally (?) to avoid misunderstanding, I am not an Independent Scientologist. I just provide independent news about Scientology. 🙂 As my Twitter profiles states:
“Independent news about Scientology. Not associated with the Church of Scientology or Independent Scientology. Tweets & RTs not endorsements, but simply news.”
Also, to introduce myself, on ESMB and WWP I am, and was previoiusly here, CommunicatorIC. I adopted @IndieScieNews aka IndieScientologyNews aka Independent Scientology New on Twitter because I thought the name communicated better on that platform.
To think the soviet union in 19-freaking-30 was better at espionage than the current “masters of the universe”, scientology, in 2-thousand-and-freaking-eighteen.
“A false flag is a covert operation designed to deceive; the deception creates the appearance of a particular party, group, or nation being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility.”
Scientology is notorious for this kind of thing… fake front groups comes to mind.
ANYone is better at their jobs than know-it-alls who think that reading a few words and throwing some clay around makes them fully qualified to do something.
The Regg gets her to pay for Super Power Rundowns at Flag…and makes her put down $35,000 – money she does not have.
She goes into deep debt…but is told by the REGG….”this will handle her case for real”….
She gets to FLAG –
They make her wait a WEEK before she see’s the MAA (Standard Operating Procedure to fully enturbulate the thetan…. it ensures a “win” later – ALL part of the scam….
the MAA tells her she is PTS and needs to handle her son and husband BEFORE she can have any auditing…
AND she must leave the Flag Scam Base
On her route out….she is heavily regged by WTHC, IAS and many other front groups….
They get all of her money she had on account
This is what FLAG specializes in…
Another Scientologist financially ruined after being exploited at the Flag Land Base.
GREAT one, RB. I’m not laughing, though. Boy, oh boy, did this ever hit home!
_______________________________________________________________
Me, In response to being asked to buy/do/attend something saying, “No”, and then giving the reason why.
Staff acknowledging me with, “I understand”, and then asking me the same question AGAIN.
And again. And again. And again and again and again, and again and again!
Each time with me saying “no”, and getting the same acknowledgement, “I understand”.
Finally, I’d blow a gasket:
Me, “No you DON’T understand! You do NOT understand at all! If you understood you wouldn’t be ASKING me this same thing over and over! If you UNDERSTOOD we’d have been finished with this conversation ten minutes ago!”
Staff:Member: “I understand”.
Me: “You’re just being robotic! You understand NOTHING!”
Staff Member (varying it a little): “I get it.”
Some of them were like that. For years it drove me CRAZY!
NOW I see that they were all afraid. All in fear. They HAD to get their product.
FINALLY, in the end, I learned to say “No” the ONLY way you can say “No” to these people.
With NO ADDED COMMUNICATION.
JUST “NO”.
They’d punch around for a reason: I’d give them none. “No reason. Just don’t want to”.
Them: “Why? What’s your consideration?”
Me: “No consideration. Just not going to do it. Have to go now. Nice talking to you – Bye!”
Now, once I started handling them this way, I began making THEM crazy!
And, yes, I know there’s an edit button but can I help it if every time I’m in my office ranting to you on this blog about something absolutely vital, either the phone rings, or someone walks in? 🙂 Never fails. Jeesh!
The same thing happened to me. And it was always the same stupid staff member. He drove me crazy asking the same question over and over again for months! At the end I varied my answer and bawled: “Your TR3 restimulates me so hard, that it is hard for me to stay in control. If you ask me that question ever again, I will hit you right in the face and brake your nose!” That shocked him so hard that he never asked me anything ever again. I am small and female and I guess he never met a violent woman before.
“I am small and female and I guess he never met a violent woman before.”.
I am on the tall side and female and having been in my childhood rigidly drilled in WASP politeness I was a sitting duck for these cult creatures because the WORST thing I could do (or so I thought at the time) was be RUDE to anyone (meanwhile, asking someone the same thing over and over and over again when they keep repeatedly saying “No” is VERY rude) but anyway what I wanted to tell you was that some of the toughest people I’ve known have been 2 petite, female friends of mine back in high school. You did NOT mess with these girls! I don’t really understand what was emanating from them to manage this but they were intimidated by NOTHING and they were barely 5 feet tall and optimistically 105 lbs. Thanks for your response and more power to the “violent” women who refuse to be pushed around!
I love it! The old hag staff member who has been on staff since 1970 or so. With the ex-husband who joined the Sea Org sometime in the 80s, hasn’t risen above the rank of Midshipman, and is now about to be offloaded.
BTW, why does the old hag always carry a clipboard?
O/T if I may. Saturday, May 26, 2018: Scientology Freedom Medal Winner / Scientology TV personality Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad (who teaches “America is #1 on God’s list to be destroyed”) speaking at the Church of Scientology of the Valley in Los Angeles, CA.
I’d like to direct a comment to the many “half-in, half-out” lurkers who read this blog: I know that you recognize that Regraded Being is scoring direct bulls-eye hits with these columns, exposing the manipulative behavior and nutty thinking. Perhaps you’re amazed by the uncanny way that these cartoons seem to mirror your own experience. I want you to know that it isn’t just YOU who experienced this stuff. We all did. You’re not alone; there are multitudes just like you, who have left, and gone on to rebuild their lives, without the insane “push-pull” of Scientology coercion. I wish you well in your journey out of the Scientology labyrinth and commend your courage to look.

Re: revealing classified information
How did you find that out? Who told you? Was it Rinder? I demand to know who disclosed that data to you so I can bring you and them to Int Base and throw you both in the Hole for eternity!
“Thank you for telling me that. I totally duplicate what you’re saying”. CLASSIC scio. lingo and the rest is spot on conversation. The “free” arcX bull shit session. They sure have their pattern down in every mission, org., etc. Once again RB, another great one.
Sometimes LIFE requires you to surprise yourself & be stronger than YOU thought you’d ever be….if that means screaming your head off& sitting on the floor, or sitting on your pocket book in a busy bus terminal station or running as fast as you can to escape….because the Devil himself is on your trail….you DO it. .
So many brave people, the decision to leave & have loved ones refuse to join you, is unimaginable…..the heartache continues for so many…….YOU are the BRAVE ONES who continue to speak out despite all the pain that comes your way…..
What I like about the staff members is how they spout all that Scientologyspeak when people don’t agree with them.
Put up with that crap on staff:
Public: This is total bullshit!
Staff member: I totally duplicate that.
Public: No,no! Not another dime!
Staff member: Now, Janice. That’s the bank talking.
Public: I am not going to help out at the book booth!
Staff member: Thank you for sharing that.
Public: You’re not listening, are you?
Staff member: I totally duplicate that. It’s very important that everything we do is for the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics.
A saying goes ‘there is no fool like an old fool’. When the gray haired lady shows up in the last panel, complimenting for the slick turnaround to make Thursday stats, and the response is that it will hurt their local future income, it reveals today’s Scientology in a nutshell.
But no one need look further than the Superpower Rundown to see the futility of Scientology. Roaming an area with multiple sensory inputs – sniffing, touching, tasting, spinning – that’s what you do at the State Fair for a few dollars spent on parking, admission, rides, cotton candy, fried food, Tums, and maybe sore feet and a sunburn. But in Scientology the same thing, without the crowds or sunburn, costs twenty grand, plus airfare, plus meals, and lodging for who-knows how long.
Speaking of Orlando (huh?). Anyway, until recently, an old site for Orlando on google sites had a few photos from 2011. One showed a party, maybe a seminar, with 25 attendees. Not bad, the room seemed crowded. But closer inspection showed that 19 of the 25 were fully gray-haired, and none of them looked prematurely gray. The other six all looked 30-35 or older, and that was way back in 2011. So over-50, maybe over-55 was the norm for Orlando Scientology members back in 2011?
BTW, that site was had a little info dated 2012, but most was 2011 – and they were proclaiming loudly how close they were to going Ideal, including a photo of the eventual building. It must have been an off-lines website somehow, because it sat from 2011-2018 with no updating, and some of the photos disappeared a few days ago, after DM yanks his ribbon.
Your post reminded me that I attended the Ideal Org opening of DC org back in 2009. Didn’t think anything of it at the time but now I see that most attendees were bus’sed in. LOTS and LOTS of buses converging on that spot!
Miscavige yanked the ribbon and then I recall the E/D giving a speech in which she shared how thrilled she was that the Org was Ideal – all the potential for their expansion being that the building was only a few blocks from the White House and other important government institutions.
Last but not least I recall her saying, “Saint Hill Size is just around the corner”.
Well, this September it will be 9 years later – has DC gone St Hill size yet? Enquiring minds, etc.
It sure is….”all about the $$$”. Very interesting reading over on TonyO’s site regarding the upcoming auction of LRH letters. If anyone has yet to be convinced that it has always and only been about the money, just read it in the words of ‘source’ himself.
R.B. You TOTALLY hit it with this one! ALL sounded so, amazingly familiar from my too many decades in. You must have had the same trip down the rabbit hole as I. Thanks for all you create on this site.
How about this: Dianetics and Grades are by CO-AUDIT only. All an org needs is a training room, one old-timer supervisor to 2WC the students through the materials, one in-house Auditor for real issues who also runs Power processes. And solo from there on.
Any meter from any era, any materials from any era, twin up and set your own schedule. YOU are after all helping YOU get better. Round table discussions about everything, including the dichotomous writings of Ron are encouraged.
OH!!!! Sorry Demented Midget, there is no money in it for you.
I really got what you wrote. I see where you are coming from and I can appreciate your origination. Thank You, with much love. If you could refocus some of that anger you are holding in and redirect it in getting yourself on your next step in aligning your case with the dynamics…..well, you know we are here to help you get started right now before your eternity runs out and the theta train has left the station with you the last one in the mest universe. (RB! Am I getting the hang of your patter?)
Now: The trouble you might be experiencing with my post to Alcoboy is that Jim did get wins and gains from the auditing and training and am not ashamed to say so. Likewise, over half of the people I knew who got on lines got nothing for their time, money and efforts.So I have no disputes with your fully expressed viewpoint.
Total bullshit. Totally. Except for all those OT’s flying back and forth all over downtown Clearwater, showering the citizenry with little round balls of air poop, made of solid 24k gold. Swishhh, ding, swishhh, ding.
I swear it’s the truth, I had two of them crash through my windshield just yesterday. Those flying gold-pooping OTs are a damn hazard, I tell you.
If I have to cash in one more ball of gold poop to pay for a broke windshield I’m calling the FAA.
No shit, Wyn. I had gone through all the grades. Every single one of them. My auditor, Dave Pettit, was seriously pushing me to attest to Clear. The problem was…nothing had changed. Not a damn thing. I just wish I had asked for my money back! Now that was stupid. But, I’ve been out since ’82.
I went through all the Grades too, plus a whole load of other waste-of-a-life courses. I even went as far as doing a CCRD. Twice!!! It was “ascertained” that I wasn’t “Clear” both times………
Main reason was that by this time I was seriously piÂŁÂŁ$d off with scinoland and I think you’d have got more needle reaction out of a block of wood than you would have done out of me……………..
Even when I was “dedicated”,(or as dedicated as I was ever likely to be), I always said to myself “I don’t want to be OT”. Why? Because my mission was run by OT’s who, in my opinion, were the biggest bunch of bell ends I’d ever come across!! Some of the stuff they used to do to “help clear the planet” was laughable at best, and downright grossly immoral/illegal at worst.
“OT’s” that I met elsewhere also seemed to be clueless……. In the immortal words of Jason Beghe “Show me a fucking OT”!!!!
Sorry you never got your money back. A MAJOR consolation is that, as you’ve been out since ’82, at least you got your LIFE back. Nice feeling isn’t it?
Yep! A nice feeling, indeed, exbrit. I used my Super Powers to walk away. And, keep in mind, all of Scientology is nothing more than make believe! Put another way, money for nothing, and the chicks for free.
You got that right! Here’s the old definition of Clear: “A Clear is to a normal person, what a normal person is to the institutionally insane.” I found that to be a huge yawning gap. So I used my Super Powers to walk away.
No kidding, OSD! Dave Pettit? Isn’t he the guy you always see at the Birthday Game event every year showering praise after praise on the Demented Midget? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Dave Petit is a huge phoney baloney. God, what a phoney! Maybe he was a nice guy back in the day, OSD. Maybe he started out sincere and on the level. Very possible. And giving the devil his due, he’s smooth talker with a very friendly and engaging manner. But, wow is he full of shit! A terrific liar! ONe of the best I’ve ever come across, definitely in my Top Five. It was just my good luck that I knew better. Wish I could reveal the precise data.
Janice did a great song about it. “Freedom’s just another word for nothing else to loose…” Should be made into the Scioland’s theme song. (Bobby McGee would agree too).
Gee, I keep forgetting my age (plus just about everything else I need to remember) but here’s Janice’s song for those that weren’t even born before she did it – a classic!
I would trade all my tomorrow’s for one single yesterday…awesome line
Kristofferson and Fred Foster.
The story of Janice Joplin is sad enough with her dying young of drugs and alcohol but that song was released posthumously in 1971 and topped the charts.
The movie “The Rose” played by Bette Midler is the story of Janice Joplin and is a brilliant movie, well worth a look if you’ve never seen it. The voice of Janice was unique and she always sang from the soul.

Just a little Sunday Morning Trivia…

If you really want to extend the Sunday morning trivia to Monday (Aussie time) it’s almost uncomprehending bewildering to realise that another famous chart topping song to be released posthumously was “(sittin on) The Dock of the Bay” by Ottis Redding. One of the most famous tracks ever recorded. Who doesn’t know that song? I think that was 1971 too, or there abouts. He died in a plane crash.

Staff member: I totally duplicate that.
Public: No,no! Not another dime!
Staff member: Now, Janice. That’s the bank talking.
Public: I am not going to help out at the book booth!
Staff member: Thank you for sharing that.
Public: You’re not listening, are you?
Staff member: I totally duplicate that. It’s very important that everything we do is for the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics.
I’m so glad to be out.
A saying goes ‘there is no fool like an old fool’. When the gray haired lady shows up in the last panel, complimenting for the slick turnaround to make Thursday stats, and the response is that it will hurt their local future income, it reveals today’s Scientology in a nutshell.
But no one need look further than the Superpower Rundown to see the futility of Scientology. Roaming an area with multiple sensory inputs – sniffing, touching, tasting, spinning – that’s what you do at the State Fair for a few dollars spent on parking, admission, rides, cotton candy, fried food, Tums, and maybe sore feet and a sunburn. But in Scientology the same thing, without the crowds or sunburn, costs twenty grand, plus airfare, plus meals, and lodging for who-knows how long.
Speaking of Orlando (huh?). Anyway, until recently, an old site for Orlando on google sites had a few photos from 2011. One showed a party, maybe a seminar, with 25 attendees. Not bad, the room seemed crowded. But closer inspection showed that 19 of the 25 were fully gray-haired, and none of them looked prematurely gray. The other six all looked 30-35 or older, and that was way back in 2011. So over-50, maybe over-55 was the norm for Orlando Scientology members back in 2011?
BTW, that site was had a little info dated 2012, but most was 2011 – and they were proclaiming loudly how close they were to going Ideal, including a photo of the eventual building. It must have been an off-lines website somehow, because it sat from 2011-2018 with no updating, and some of the photos disappeared a few days ago, after DM yanks his ribbon.
I would LOVE to see an age distribution chart of current practicing members of scientology.
My prediction would be a heavy weighting on the gray-haired side of the chart.
Ammo, I’m an old fool. Been one for years now. I used to be a young fool.
OSD – Old fool or young fool, you’re still a cool fool. Or just cool.
Oh, no. I’m still a fool. But, a cool one at that.
And, usually, a very funny fool. 🙂
I’m glad I have been out for 35+ years.
Yeah, baby! How sweet it is!
Interesting, Ammo.
Your post reminded me that I attended the Ideal Org opening of DC org back in 2009. Didn’t think anything of it at the time but now I see that most attendees were bus’sed in. LOTS and LOTS of buses converging on that spot!
Miscavige yanked the ribbon and then I recall the E/D giving a speech in which she shared how thrilled she was that the Org was Ideal – all the potential for their expansion being that the building was only a few blocks from the White House and other important government institutions.
Last but not least I recall her saying, “Saint Hill Size is just around the corner”.
Well, this September it will be 9 years later – has DC gone St Hill size yet? Enquiring minds, etc.
CCNashville yanked it’s ribbon just before DC did. So if Nashville hasn’t gone Saint Hill size by now, then probably neither has DC.
Not a single “ideal” org has reached St Hill Size — though Tampa and Milano have said they were.
Thanks for the intel, Alco an Mike, and hey, DC/ED, that’s a pretty looooong corner y’all are turning!
Well, all I ‘ve got to say to Tampa and Milano is:
SHOW ME DA STATS!
No, wait. They’re probably all fabricated.
The true ‘cycle of action’ in Scientology. Good one RB.
“A nice long expensive trip to Flog.” It’s ALL about the money. And nothing more.
Hi, Old Surfer Dude!
Yo! Sup?
All good, Dude. You?
I’m sometimes Spike and sometimes Spike 73, but anyway I’m the same person LOL!
If I were any better…I’d be twins.
Riiiiiight … LOL!
It sure is….”all about the $$$”. Very interesting reading over on TonyO’s site regarding the upcoming auction of LRH letters. If anyone has yet to be convinced that it has always and only been about the money, just read it in the words of ‘source’ himself.
R.B. You TOTALLY hit it with this one! ALL sounded so, amazingly familiar from my too many decades in. You must have had the same trip down the rabbit hole as I. Thanks for all you create on this site.
The only thing she needs to handle is the knob on the front door outta there…
The knob to freedom. All you have to do is turn the knob, and walk away.
Won’t go there…
Go where?
LOLOL!
“Free” ? What a bunch of “Parasites” . . . Disgusting !
I agree that they are nothing but parasites. Money is all they care about.
Spot on as usual.
LOL! If only more people were honest with self they would never purchase anything past Grade 1.
Hell, Wynski, if only more people were more honest with themselves, they would never purchase anything past Div 6 courses.
Alcoboy,,
How about this: Dianetics and Grades are by CO-AUDIT only. All an org needs is a training room, one old-timer supervisor to 2WC the students through the materials, one in-house Auditor for real issues who also runs Power processes. And solo from there on.
Any meter from any era, any materials from any era, twin up and set your own schedule. YOU are after all helping YOU get better. Round table discussions about everything, including the dichotomous writings of Ron are encouraged.
OH!!!! Sorry Demented Midget, there is no money in it for you.
Why bother jim? It is total bullshit no matter how you slice it.
Wynski ,
I really got what you wrote. I see where you are coming from and I can appreciate your origination. Thank You, with much love. If you could refocus some of that anger you are holding in and redirect it in getting yourself on your next step in aligning your case with the dynamics…..well, you know we are here to help you get started right now before your eternity runs out and the theta train has left the station with you the last one in the mest universe. (RB! Am I getting the hang of your patter?)
Now: The trouble you might be experiencing with my post to Alcoboy is that Jim did get wins and gains from the auditing and training and am not ashamed to say so. Likewise, over half of the people I knew who got on lines got nothing for their time, money and efforts.So I have no disputes with your fully expressed viewpoint.
Total bullshit. Totally. Except for all those OT’s flying back and forth all over downtown Clearwater, showering the citizenry with little round balls of air poop, made of solid 24k gold. Swishhh, ding, swishhh, ding.
I swear it’s the truth, I had two of them crash through my windshield just yesterday. Those flying gold-pooping OTs are a damn hazard, I tell you.
If I have to cash in one more ball of gold poop to pay for a broke windshield I’m calling the FAA.
Works for me. Won’t work for the church .
No shit, Wyn. I had gone through all the grades. Every single one of them. My auditor, Dave Pettit, was seriously pushing me to attest to Clear. The problem was…nothing had changed. Not a damn thing. I just wish I had asked for my money back! Now that was stupid. But, I’ve been out since ’82.
OSD,
1982 was a fine year. The sun shone, the grapes grew, and the waves had a clean curl. yep, a vintage year.
With a young man walking out of the Org.
OSD,
I went through all the Grades too, plus a whole load of other waste-of-a-life courses. I even went as far as doing a CCRD. Twice!!! It was “ascertained” that I wasn’t “Clear” both times………
Main reason was that by this time I was seriously piÂŁÂŁ$d off with scinoland and I think you’d have got more needle reaction out of a block of wood than you would have done out of me……………..
Even when I was “dedicated”,(or as dedicated as I was ever likely to be), I always said to myself “I don’t want to be OT”. Why? Because my mission was run by OT’s who, in my opinion, were the biggest bunch of bell ends I’d ever come across!! Some of the stuff they used to do to “help clear the planet” was laughable at best, and downright grossly immoral/illegal at worst.
“OT’s” that I met elsewhere also seemed to be clueless……. In the immortal words of Jason Beghe “Show me a fucking OT”!!!!
Sorry you never got your money back. A MAJOR consolation is that, as you’ve been out since ’82, at least you got your LIFE back. Nice feeling isn’t it?
Yep! A nice feeling, indeed, exbrit. I used my Super Powers to walk away. And, keep in mind, all of Scientology is nothing more than make believe! Put another way, money for nothing, and the chicks for free.
Well, at least you got something out of it OSD 🙂
ROTFLMFAO!!! Now that’s some funny shit!
You were smart enough to get out relatively cheap OSD
You got that right! Here’s the old definition of Clear: “A Clear is to a normal person, what a normal person is to the institutionally insane.” I found that to be a huge yawning gap. So I used my Super Powers to walk away.
No kidding, OSD! Dave Pettit? Isn’t he the guy you always see at the Birthday Game event every year showering praise after praise on the Demented Midget? Or am I thinking of someone else?
That’s a good questio. I know he’s at CC. At some point, I’d like to go there just to see how he’s doing. He was a very nice guy?.
Dave Petit is a huge phoney baloney. God, what a phoney! Maybe he was a nice guy back in the day, OSD. Maybe he started out sincere and on the level. Very possible. And giving the devil his due, he’s smooth talker with a very friendly and engaging manner. But, wow is he full of shit! A terrific liar! ONe of the best I’ve ever come across, definitely in my Top Five. It was just my good luck that I knew better. Wish I could reveal the precise data.
1982 was one of the great years in scio, the year that THOUSANS walked out.
Yep!
If the Internet had existed all those years ago,MORE folks would have walked out without a second thought. Look at how few can be lured in these days.
Free! Ha ha ha ha ha!
What is this ‘free’ word? Does it mean free to hand over all my money?
Janice did a great song about it. “Freedom’s just another word for nothing else to loose…” Should be made into the Scioland’s theme song. (Bobby McGee would agree too).
Gee, I keep forgetting my age (plus just about everything else I need to remember) but here’s Janice’s song for those that weren’t even born before she did it – a classic!
I would trade all my tomorrow’s for one single yesterday…awesome line

I’m still older, I Yawn. When I look in a mirror, my thoughts are: Seriously? That’s my face? Age happens…
Quickly….for one free ‘Supah Power’… who wrote ‘Me and Bobby McGee’?
Now that’s a good question. Let know who it is.
Kristofferson and Fred Foster.
The story of Janice Joplin is sad enough with her dying young of drugs and alcohol but that song was released posthumously in 1971 and topped the charts.
The movie “The Rose” played by Bette Midler is the story of Janice Joplin and is a brilliant movie, well worth a look if you’ve never seen it. The voice of Janice was unique and she always sang from the soul.
IT -You win!
Many people think Willie Nelson. What Nelson did write was “Crazy”, made famous by Patsy Cline.
Just a little Sunday Morning Trivia…
If you really want to extend the Sunday morning trivia to Monday (Aussie time) it’s almost uncomprehending bewildering to realise that another famous chart topping song to be released posthumously was “(sittin on) The Dock of the Bay” by Ottis Redding. One of the most famous tracks ever recorded. Who doesn’t know that song? I think that was 1971 too, or there abouts. He died in a plane crash.
I’m still waiting for my FREE arcx session
I would like to indicate it was a break in reality.
🙂
Alright all ready! I’ll give you a free arcx session. But, you need to come to Huntington Beach.
I’ll be out there Monday actually. I’m coming for that free arcx session.
I’ll be here waiting…
Suppressed?
At this point you would only get a read on abandoned from me.
Ok, so let’s focus on abandonment issues. When we’re you first abandoned? How did that make you feel? Did you to punch someone? Did that feel good. Ok! You’re cured!
Good one, LFBDFN
You might be waiting a while.
