Jazz potluck?
And an R&B Dutch treat. A Rock and Roll buffet and an orchestral bake-off.

Try lip syncing this while you are playing your air guitar with no socks on: “Loser” (it’s a song by Beck)
Flag is getting personal
And they are “quite literally” going to rock your world with a video. OMG. And the D/CO Flag is personally inviting you because Flag is now 100% accessible — providing you have enough money… They keep getting weirder and weirder.
The video is “unheard of” (?)
Maybe because nobody is listening, because nobody cares?
Moneywinds
It’s ALL about cash.
Having trouble with attendance…
Now they are asking people if they would like to postpone the “convention”- tells you how many people they have lined up for this. And it starts TODAY.
Powerful speaker Rafferty Pendery
He is going to tell you how to survive off a wealthy grandparent. Love the fact he is “helping” the head of the most senior Sea Org delivery org on the planet. He is not only not a Sea Org member, he is a silver spoon baby.
You need to “create prosperity” to go OT
Finally, some truth in scientology advertising
This is THE most effective program for… everything
Nothing like some over-the-top hype. Wonder if Napier includes tips on how to maintain very friendly relations with the shore women.
What do you get?
Absolutely NOTHING.
Nothing on top of nothing…
Scots humor
I wonder if they realize every country on earth has one…
This is funny?
I think you might have to be really drunk to find this amusing. Sober it just looks like a childish prank. Are they drunk in HAPI?
Elon Musk and WISE
Wonder how Mr. Musk would feel if he knew WISE was promoting him as part of their pitch to get money from people?
James Byrne
It’s pretty sad. The role of “Founding Sea Org member #4” is to tell stories to a few stragglers in Santa Barbara…
Some advice for David Miscavige
SO = OT
That’s good because almost no SO members ever get to do their OT levels.
An Urgent Briefing
Of course, they are ALL urgent. You HAVE to hear them all. And every one of them is the same thing over and over. You MUST give us your money now. You are at risk if you don’t give us your money.
Unlock the keys (?)
Of course, that means making money. Because money is the “key” to OT.
Legendary briefing?
In a private home?
Gypsies
That is an appropriate motif for once, it’s all about getting your money.
Desperation
A No Name Briefing
This one must be REALLY important
The Cereal Festival
Snap, crackle, pop
Porn Valley
They have a “completion project” and that has never happened before and is quite remarkable. Apparently for 12 years they have had no plan to actually complete.
Well, it’s actually a FUNDRAISING Completion Project.
And that HAS happened before. They have been talking about that for YEARS.
Learn how to extract money from others like a Pro!
Non Sequitur Prize
A PR briefing in L. Ron Hubbard’s House because of the “imminent opening of the new international media facility.” Makes perfect sense. To a scientologist.
The IAS reads this blog!
Robert Galibert is no longer going to “come in your city.” What a relief.
It’s a “Buy Now”
You can buy discount statuses. Become a Half-Humanitarian today!
Well, it WAS a “Buy Now” until the time expired…
“Gypsy” is a racial insult. But I guess, if they don’t mind using “wogs,” they probably don’t give a shit about “gypsy”…
Lip Sync-Off? What kind of cheap-ass tent show are they putting on? Don’t they have karaoke in Canada? Or are scios so tone deaf that they dare not expose their lack of musical talent? Or maybe they’ve become so accustomed to pretending they have abilities they don’t really have. That couldn’t be it, could it?
Phil Cantwell might think his Clear Canada shirt is cool, but according to Maclean’s magazines, Scientology only has seven “churches” and 2500 members in Canada. In the 2011 census, only 8.1 percent of Canadians identified their religion as “Other,” which “includes Aboriginal spirituality, Pagan, Wicca, Unity – New Thought – Pantheist, Scientology, Rastafarian, New Age, Gnostic, Satanist, etc.” Keep dreaming, Phil.
With all the emphasis on ‘prosperity’ you’d think everyone in $cientology is down to their last nickle. So you can spend July and August on the Fleecewinds?? Unless some whale funds the gas bill, you’ll be using the oars to move from island to island.
‘Preaching’ in this context is an exercise in selling your audience something they don’t have. If the clams think they can sell Lron’s code to making money, every clam will start their own religion. Wouldn’t that be fun?
The flyer from Kansas City with the Dianetics Co-audit is from when Miscavige announced the new improved Dianetics routes. When he said people can come in, CO audit, get keyed in and then we will gladly take their money for “real” professional auditing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that was in 2008. It was a complete failure like all of his programs. Huge expense in time, money and work for staff and public for essentially zero return.
So much humour here. I enjoy this blog immensely.
“What are you doing in the bathroom Timmy?”
“I’m being a better friend to myself because I love me.”
“Well, do it a little more quietly, the neighbours are complaining and you’ve woken your father up. And please, please, clean up after your best friend has finished because he left a mess the last time.”
The Gypsy Cabaret is one huge ripoff. I do know that the $250.00 seats are outside on the pavement. That will teach you to be a cheapskate! “All proceeds go to the creation of Ideal Orgs” means after they’ve been filtered through Demento’s bank accounts there will be nothing left.
Ooh, 50% status matching. If you have $5,000 you donate $2,500 and the mysterious donour will match it. Don’t worry about the other $2,500 we’ll have some scheme to fleece you of the rest. I get the feeling that the “generous donour” doesn’t exist. It’s just another racket by $camology.
Cute little Irena is an Advanceman. It took me years to see through this sexist crap but I finally did. Can we come into present time please and call her an Advanceperson at least? Geez. A man or woman executive in the sea org is still “Sir.” You are supposed to be called by the title of your post, not your name. It’s been many years since I’ve been gone from the int base (thank goodness)…but do they let new couples hold hands now finally? Or are they still forbidding any sort of interest in the opposite sex? Fantabulous place to live and work, Monique Ying-ding. Absolutely fantastic! See your recruiter now now now!
“You have a right to be prosperous and to make it to OT”
Am I the only one who first read that as “You have a right to be preposterous” ?
Somehow it makes more sense.
Lots of chuckles at your snark above these Funnies, Mike 🙂
I agree. I love this blog.
The Ultimate Summer Vacation!
Because after The Freewinds you won’t afford another.
James Bryne met Angry Gay Pope outside the HI (Hollywood Inn building where LA Org Test Center now operates).

Hey, no fair, Mike! Robert Galilbert came in every city except mine…actually, on second thought, that’s ok…
The “event date is now extended” or “choose to attend at a later date” offers really pull back the curtain for all to see the desperation behind it all….
They are hardly getting any results as-is, so now they beg and entice multiple times to get people interested in coming….
It all just screams “people are NOT interested” —-and yet they don’t seem to get the message, or they willingly ignore it because they HAVE to look like they’re KSW and doing SOMETHING to turn things around…so sadly pathetic!
Damn! This is what we DIDN’T have in Scientology in the ’70s … a freakin’ LIP SYNCH-OFF! If that doesn’t fucking save the planet, NOTHING WILL! No wonder we didn’t have enough money for staff pay! (and by the by, having worked in Scotland and many many areas of the world, I can honestly state that there is no ethnic group as laugh out loud funny in just their everyday comments on life as the Scots)
I wonder if the Scots know that the “next great civilisation will spring from Southern Africa”? They got some praise and it’s gone to their heads. Shame.
Southern Africa “is going nowhere slowly.” – a title of a TV travel programme, before I’m accused of plagiarism.
Jazz Potluck, good name for a sailboat.
My impression is desperation, the COB will be passing out Freedom Medals
to Children on Hollywood Blvd. like Hitler did in Berlin a few days before
the War in Europe ended.
Hi Jose Chung,I like Jazz Potluck for a sail boat.Much better than Lassez Faire.She was neither easy or anything goes.Ron’s Way or….laughter xo AnnB.
If they’re relying on Dan York to teach people how to improve staff performance they’re in BIG TROUBLE! Knew this guy at CCNashville and he wasn’t all that great.
And by the way, what is a “serial” entrepreneur? And no puns, OSD 🙂
I’m thinking, like, he just keeps starting one business after another, hoping by the law of averages that something works out.
A “serial” entrepreneur is one who sells “cereal”. In other words, an underpaid clerk in a grocery. But what, pray tell, is a “Barbarian” if not one who engages in barbarism? I don’t think they even begin to realize how insane they sound. 🙂
“And no puns, OSD” Well that’s certainly no fun. Don’t you remember, Aqua, when you were really sad and I tried to cheer you up by telling you 10 puns? But, alas, no pun in 10 did……
They are a desperate and sorry lot. Interest and attendance must be at an all time low.
Seriously! They still have attendance? Do they hire actors to play the part of public scientologists? I’ll do that! How much are they paying?
I think there is a typo on the second promo piece from the top. It says on the promo piece
“Building Expansion Dir Canada” I think its supposed to be “Building Expansion DUH Canada”
Well, duh!
Mike Rinder. How can I get a lawsuit from the Church of Scientology in The Netherlands. I want them to sue me.
Think creatively.
Throwing a brick with your name and address on it

would be years before anyone noticed.
Lol!
You’ve got to get in their faces using Tone 40. That’s the ONLY way you’ll get their attention…
I’m so relieved that the Toronto org lip sinking contest is “not mandatory.”
How benevolent of whoever wrote that to allow people to decline an invitation to get all their money taken from them.
The arrogance of these folks knows no bounds.
Wait…..what? It’s NOT mandatory? Oh, crap! I spent a month practicing simply because I thought it WAS mandatory. My sinking lips were primed and ready to go.
it’s always “we’re getting this DONE!” for whatever they happen to be raising money for that day, but it’s NEVER DONE! I really think every OT Committee, Landlords office, IAS, Reg has an MU regarding what the words “done” and “completion” mean.
Such a laugh today “Try lip syncing this while you are playing your air guitar with no socks on: “Loser” (it’s a song by Beck)”…killer!
I looked at a pic of wee Dayey and hated it and I actually felt purty dern good!
I wonder if they realize how thoroughly racist a “jazz potluck” at Inglewood is. Probably not. They think their bunch of ofay asses are “honoring” the community this way. “Patronizing” is closer to the mark.
Memo to Cambridge Idle Morgue and the perpetual building site formerly known as Toronto Org: I’ll participate in your lip sync competition, but only if I can do “Death Cab For Cutie” by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. It’s appropriate because you’re on a death trip anyway. Toronto Org will never, ever get done. That scaffolding around the morgue will survive humankind. It’ll be a playground for cockroaches.
And think about this: Toronto didn’t require its own idle morgue building. It only gets a refurb. And they still can’t complete that. If they can’t, Scilons, why do you think you can? Yes, Valley, this means you.
So Flag is going to be “100% accessible” after a new video promo (no doubt with lots of zooming cameras and lens flare)? But Flag’s never been 100% accessible to everyone. They bounce people out of there every day. That’s the reason why Tampa Org exists. It’s there to handle Flag rejects. Did this change? Does Flag no longer reject people coming there for services? Oh, hell no. The Friendliest Place On Earth is still off-limits to you if you haven’t ponied up and are planning to have your wallet hoovered while you’re there for things that have nothing to do with your case. You lying bastards.
One time, I took a minute to hate everyone. I enjoyed the feeling so much that I haven’t stopped doing that to this day.
I’d have a lot more respect for Flog’s Gypsy Cabaret if the proceeds were used to help the Roma of Europe, whose culture that they’re raping is under threat from xenophobia and ultra-conservativism in Eastern Europe. But, no, that would be helping people, and we can’t have that.
Okay, honesty time: if Napier wasn’t straight, I’d do him. Hey, he’s a daddybear in a uniform, just my type, what can I say? I never promised you that I had good taste.
Hey, Mick Davies: don’t be too sure that all the recipients of your survey trust L. Fraud. A lot of UTRs are at the stage where they don’t trust anything Scientology says anymore. And there’s no one on Earth that can persuade them to go to the Failboat. The word has got around. You have no chance to haul anyone else in. Nothing’s worked. None of the “prepare for OTIX and OTX” promos, none of the “do your objectives over on the Freewinds” material. Nothing. So now you have to send out a survey asking people who they trust. How much more pathetic can you get?
Tell the truth, Battle Creek: the Cereal Festival is the only time you can get anyone on Post.
What is the final component to Keeping Scientology Working? That would be Point Ten, wouldn’t it? Why do you need a briefing to know that? Every clam’s pretty much memorized that paean to egotism and neurotic control.
What could bring people into Valley Morgue? Here’s a suggestion: NANCY CARTWRIGHT BART SIMPSON and a dunk tank, three balls for five bucks.
Has anyone informed Robert Galibert that he’s going to do a lecture about the Scourge Of Drugs in a state that’s legalized pot? And in the first state in the US that had both legal pot and gay marriage (speaking of your “moral breakdown of society”)? Sounds kinda like bolting the gate after the horses have left, huh?
Any bets that Valley’s status match game will be extended again? It just wasn’t desperate enough to put the new deadline on a Thursday at 2. There’s still depths to be plumbed, clams.
And we end with HAPI. Couldn’t you come up with a better picture of Edinburgh? It looks like a total shithole in that shot. And it probably is. Britain is not a country known for its cohesive town planning. If it wasn’t bombed during WWII, then it looks like someone just projectile vomited up five hundred years of bad architecture in random patterns. And traffic cones on statues does not designate “a good sense of humour”. It designates flagrant alcoholism and stupidity. This is what happens when all the smart people in a country leave for the US and Canada.
Let’s hope that RB isn’t preoccupied with something this week. We need a good pick-up at the end of this week.
Don’t worry Espiando. I have been working my way through the lower Contitions of Existence and have finally discovered ‘Who I really am’. I’ll be back on post tomorrow.
Looking forward RB.
I’m laughing out loud!
Regraded Being…pardon me for evaluating…but you are ON POST and your stats are straight up and vertical baby…..you are in POWER. Thank you!! VWD!
Regraded Being is more at cause over MEST and “knowingness” of What Scientology IS and What Scientology IS NOT than any Scientologist that has completed all three “L’s”, Super Power, GAT II and Regraded Bridge actions and we “get it” that you want others to have the same amazing WINS!!
WINNING – Thanks to you RB!
Damn right you will be! You have one more episode like that and you’ll be Hole Bait (which has never existed).
Espi, you’ve outdone yourself today. Still laughing! And I’m stealing the phrase “wallet hoovered” from you to use on any Still In dumb enough to reach out to my bitter, defrocked self.
Hi Espiando, Loved your post.I’m for the cereal festival because I love hot or cold cereal.And I hate what is being done to Gypsy Culture,but I had to laugh at cos getting into the mix! Really!And I was going to post that I thought the pix of Edinburg looked positively ghoulish and dark.But then hubby has to go there next year because his niece is marring a Scottish Lad.All his family history is there too.I can’t fly that long with osteoporosis so I will be here babysitting the 17 year old,you know I am going to say it Cat!! What a life she has.
Really your posts lift me up when the jungle starts closing in.After I read your posts I get more energy to hack away and clear pun intended the debris out.You are a very good soul.opps brilliant person! XO Ann B.
I so look forward to your commentary on these every week. Hilarious!!
And I look forward to yours every week, NOLAGirl.
Awww thanks OSD. *blush*
Hope you and yours are having a great week. ❤
NOLAGirl, if I were any better, I’d be twins….
When you live in a beach town like I do, every day is a great day!
Hi Mike, The Gypsy Cabaret did me in! Staggeringly bizarre.The grey group listening to SO member#4 is sad.But the time for the end of Ron’s/David’s church/cult escapades and so much more is coming.Shadows are racing toward all the cos believes is invincible.Love Thurs. xo Ann B.
The activities that go on now are so different than the old days. Now public are looked at in terms of financial resources. In the old days there were staff who genuinely wanted to help individuals. these activities clearly violate what Hubbard said to do.
At this point the lemmings are falling off the cliff en masse. I wish they’d get it over with.
Co$ Inglewood “We got the Jazz”? Not really. Ever since Ron Miscavige left, they don’t. WARROOUGH!
So glad I’m out but I still get the same gut reaction when I read, “We’re having an event. Because you are a Scientologist you are expected to do your duty and be there. It is expected that you bring five people. Send in the names of the five you are bringing because we need to get everyone to full OT.” Makes me want to scream! It’s such suppressive control shit.
I got into scientology just for me. Big mistake.
Deadline: Thursday at 2. Of course!
Uh-Oh! That’s less than 2 hours from now!
If they are making Flag “100% accessible to you” does this mean that they are making it so you can do your Intro courses at Flag now? Why not? I would also like to know their definition of 100% accessible. Could I Walk in the door? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Flag is absolutely positively the “Friendliest place on earth” as long as
a. they like you (this hour) and
b. you’re in good standing (according to a list that doesn’t exist that they make up as they go) and
c. you have giant pockets full of cash that you just want to throw at them (which in turn nullifies points a and b because of course they like you (this hour) and you’re in good standing (this hour) if you have pockets full of cash you want to throw at them.)
It’s telling that the Toronto Ideal Org event has to be held in Cambridge.
In the gypsy culture all over Eastern europe it is an overt not to steal a wallet when you could have.You have to confess this to the gypsy ethics officer.Em,well wait I just thought of another culture.
Yes, let’s celebrate gypsy culture: keeping kids out of school so they grow up illiterate, training daughters to grow up and be the family breadwinner via palm and tarot reading and other more lucrative scams, moving constantly, using fake names, marrying children together before they’ve even reached puberty, teaching them that people who work are total jerks – yes, let’s celebrate this, whoopee.
Really Doug? You’ve never heard of the ‘Wealthy Grandparents Rundown?’ Where you been, son?
I got out prior to all the Golden Age releases, I must have missed it. What a bummer.
What a bummer, indeed! It’s a fantastic rundown! The kids and or the grandkids, invite the wealthy grandparents over for dinner. They slip the old folks a mickey and they pass out. They then carry them to the basement or attic, tie them up and threaten to keep them there until they hand over all of their retirement accounts so the kids can give it all to the cult for statuses.
You sure you haven’t heard of this rundown, Doug? It was all the rage for quite some time….
Not that specific rundown, but similar versions
“Wealthy Grandparents Rundown” – isn’t there where you run them down, accidentally of course, collect the inheritance then give it to Demento?
Bingo!
The “news” of the Toronto Ideal Org is that they’re out of the temporary location at 77 Peter St, and into a new, probably smaller, temporary location at 2 College St. (I’ll get pictures tomorrow.)
WOW! so many. And all this “friendliness” from the so called religious order that tells you who you can or can’t be friends with and that specifically includes your family.
Flag, Scientology orgs and quicksand are synonymous,
Because they all sink down to the bottom eventually?
Now they are giving commendations if you turn in at least five names to the Nashville Org. What does one do with a commendation from the Executive Council of the Flag Organization? And what happens to the poor saps who have their names turned in by “friends?” Bizarro world. This is no way to run a religion, Dave.
Mr. James Byrne kept the group spellbound for an hour telling stories about LRH. Yep. Sure.
Scilon-to-English dictionary
— Spellbound, adj: bored to tears and searching desperately for an exit
Storyteller Mr. James Byrne: What a sad fate — Conning with stories about a con man to continue his con.
Wow! That makes it a Triple Con! You should get a stuffed Teddy Bear or something…..
Wow I feel like 50% of a re-graded being status is in order here! Here is a list of new statuses:
1. Just escaped
2. Eyes wide open
3. Free of guilt
4. Free of fear
5. Regained personal integrity
6. Actively Happy
7. Re-graded Being !!!
Luv it!
And the ability to surf when you damn well feel like it!!!
b) I would like to attend at a later date
The procrastinators’ credo: Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.” Gosh, am I ever out of touch! I thought it was, “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do a year from now.”
I prefer to think of procrastination as, “Eh, whenever.”
You just summed up my life, Kronomex, “Eh…whenever. In the Valley it’s, “Eh…whatever.”
Someone forget to tell Joy Gendusa she shouldn’t fold her arms.
I believe that’s they’re natural stance. Even when Joy sleeps, her arms are crossed. Her eyes too…..
So much illogic, so little time…
But…but, Mike! The illogic is so much fun to watch!
True! I wish Carlin was still around to comment on this blog…
I have only one thing to say to Ms. Dedova
Баба Яга, держаться подальше от меня!
Baba Yaga, stay away from me!
“… victories are linked at a frantic pace and we are ready before they begin!”
What the heck could that even mean? It’s like someone put some words in a blender and then just randomly put them in where various parts of speech belong. Probably the result of another “study tech” failure.
Hi FOTF2012, A good catch with your post.I have read that ” sentence over & over ” and it is more tangled up each reading.I love “We are ready before they begin.”So OT of the author,makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Not! xo Ann B.
Hmmmm….”victories are linked at a frantic pace…” Translation: You CISC are not working nearly hard enough! We’re talkin’ FRANTIC here! What? Do you have an M/U on FRANTIC? What a fucking dilettante! You NEVER going to reach FRANTIC, you DB! You might as well leave…
“…and we are ready before they begin!” Translation: The regges are out in force sucking the life blood out of every single public and staff. For the greatest good, of course…
Dave,
So many choices. But you are covered. Thanks for making this a piece of cake! The SuMP opening is being infiltrated with ‘staff in good standing’. Like Atlanta, your ribbon jerk at SuMP will be on film! Including close
ups from the crowd and distance shots from unknown perches. And then there is the ‘in the can’ coverage of activities closer to home and office; shots of the rooftop patio activities at the apartment building behind Author Services. You will be FAMOUS! (think viral on the internet). Be sure to wave at the black helicopters.
“…only the tigers survive.”
Unless there are a bunch of angry villagers with pointed sticks in the way.
And the Falcon first stage actually lands on a barge downrange on the ocean.
This is just a random comment after reading the announcements – I don’t like Scientology terminology. I dislike how people are called ‘terminals’ and PC’s or ‘pre-clears’, I wouldn’t like having a ‘case’, or being ‘handled’. It’s probably just my personal problem, but it feels kind of offensive to me. Ok, carry on…
It IS offensive. (I don’t use any of this terminology anymore and feel much better for it, more human, somehow.)
On principal, I speak regular English. I found it relatively easy to go back to. I just did it! I avoid ANYTHING that sounds even slightly like scientologese.
I love it that there is no more labelling in my life. I’m not upstat, downstat, a confirm, a public, a staff, an ethics particle, a terminal, PTS, etc. The results of my decision is easier interaction with people, feeling humane, being humane, and circulating in the non-scientology world is a pleasure. Gone is the pompousness and arrogance; and with it the feeling of them versus us. I’m no better than anyone or worse. I’m part of it all and it’s a freeing and liberating experience.
TJ, you brought up a good point.
Dawn, that was an illuminating post! An “ethics particle” – really! You made some great points about how the language fosters an “us against them” mentality, and how labeling someone is indeed dehumanizing. Thank you for making these points in a post that really made me think, and helped me to better understand why I was feeling offended by the language used in Scientology. – T.J.
Hi T.J., Good morning! After a fierce storm last night sunny and gorgeous here today.Reading your post got me thinking the same about Sci Labels.When in it never occurred to me till near the end of my SO time,how actually degrading those terms could be when used to inspire fear and control.
I wish you a lovely weekend and send you and your love always.Ann B.
Thank you Ann B. It’s so nice to find such a pleasant message here from you especially when it’s been a really tough day! So, thank you much & wishing you a wonderful weekend as well. Love, T.J. 🙂
You’re NEVER going to make OT with an attitude like that, T.J. What would your Momma say?
Oh how nice, a double pleasant surprise – a post from another of my favorite people. Both OSD and Ann B., I got lucky today! Regarding the nomenclature, I also dislike being referred to as a “wog”. hmmm… I feel only slightly woggy, anyway. lol . :-p – T.J.
You know what… I just looked up “wog” online. I tried a Google search first for: “what does wog mean”, then I tried again and searched for: define wog. Both times I got results that say it is a very negative, racially derogatory term. It didn’t say anything about other uses, surprisingly. What is the actual meaning in Scientology? I mean, what do the letters w-o-g stand for?
Worthy Oriental Gentleman. It was a British slur. But, that’s ok! Today I’m Wogging out!
I love the command in Clive Rabey’s letter to “turn in” the names of five people you will be bringing to his blood sucking event. Of course no need to mention the other qualifications – they have to have money and something the church can grab onto to squeeze the blood money out.
That’s almost like kids turning in their parents…..
Omg the same people who write these terrible promos are going to provide marketing tips? No thank you!
All are pretty funny, so a goid laugh was appreciated today!
The 50% match was used on me to become an IAS member. At the time I thought oh my, how nice and fell for it. Hardly was in for a year for $2,500. Now I’m even doubtful that someone payed the other half. They are hurting!
Of course there is no matching grant. This is a time honored hook. As an old car salesman once told me, three dimes are better than a quarter on his perspective of selling volume rather than the max profit out of one sale.
So DM and the fanboys and girls, rather that getting no one or very few at $5K, they get 10 at $2.5K. If they are lucky.
They are dying…Good riddance!
And you are still cute
The Rafferty Pendery event seems interesting. Is there LRH tech on how one ensures they have a wealthy grandparent in the next lifetime?
Doug, you OBVIOUSLY didn’t pay attention to El Wrong! Do L-12 and then you can examine any potential new parents before you “make the plunge”. 🙂
You are right, I wasn’t paying attention.
You need to be much more studious, Doug. If not your brain is going to rot away….
Doug, you will have to learn the new Klingon Tech and attach yourself to a Whale (preferrably a Duggan or a Wilson type) which will be part of the new Ohh Tea Niner package soon to be released on the Freakwinds. If you contact Russ McKevitt I think he can get you prepaid for the service.
That sounds too complicated.
That’s it! THAT’S IT!!!! Go to your room, you Wog! And think about what’s really important in your life! I can’t carry you any longer!
Yes, but it’s only revealed to those OTVIII and above. Laughs to self.
