This not an exciting post like yesterday. And I dont have the time nor energy right now to do anything more. I caught a bug when in NY and have been in bed for 48 hours. Hope to be done with it soon. Must be PTS hanging around with all those SPs…
This promo piece encapsulates so much of what is wrong with scientology in such a short space. The hype. The astonishing false statistics that are presented as “fact” and accepted just because. The amazing amount of money they feel they are entitled to be given just because they are. The absolute (and unfounded) certainty that they have the ONLY answers to EVERYTHING. Anywhere. Ever.
This isn’t really the meter “Ron envisioned and planned” — he had no idea about this meter. The one he envisioned and planned was described by Steve Pfauth on Marty’s blog and in Larry Wright’s book. The one with enough current passing through it that it would kill the body. The Suicide 8. Not the Warehouse 8.
Ron’s vision of a fully OT Meter for all Scientologists… Now Realized
The first digital E-Meter. The Hubbard Professional Mark Ultra VIII. This is an E-Meter with the cutting-edge technology to take you up The Bridge to Clear and OT with astounding speed and unprecedented certainty.
It’s the culmination of everything that Ron envisioned and planned.
Knowing that his specifications for an ultimate meter were beyond Earth electronics of the day, Ron directed how to implement requirements for a fully OT E-Meter in the future.
With the 21st-century digital age came the realization of Ron’s prescient vision. In session, you’ll find it unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Its responsiveness is lightning-fast, smooth and exact.The result is an unprecedented level of comfort, ease and usability, focusing your full attention on the preclear.
For Solo auditing sessions its use is second nature. Your attention is focused on your case—where it belongs.
Now you can experience it for yourself.
Designed for the Perfect Session
The Mark Ultra VIII is the perfect meter for the perfect session. Its intelligent, ergonomic design enables you to take in everything in a single glance. Needle dial, digital display—all vital information perfectly positioned.
It self-calibrates every time you turn it on.
In seconds you’re ready for session. Moreover, it will remain in perfect calibration. That means there is no need to send in the meter for updates or calibration.
Annual certification and any future software updates are easily done online.
Perfect calibration is a constant.
Meter Reads 50,000 Times Clearer
Astonishing precision and clarity. A powerful computer chip lies at its core. Advanced computer technology eliminates all electronic interference.
The result is reads that are 50,000 times clearer—the most accurate ever imagined. With this level of accuracy, you can zero in on the exact charge, no matter how submerged or miniscule—with total certainty.
It’s a state-of-the-art masterpiece.
Laser Precision at 1/1000 Accuracy
Cutting edge optical technology delivers exacting performance with the ability to observe the smallest Tone Arm changes at the lowest sensitivities. The Mark Ultra VIII Meter’s Tone Arm responsiveness is laser precise—because the Tone Arm positions are read by light.
The Remote Tone Arm uses identical technology for perfect Solo sessions. The Tone Arm will never go out of calibration, lose accuracy or wear out.
Accuracy is guaranteed forever.
The Perfect Connection
The Mark Ultra VIII combines form and function—precision-designed electrodes uniquely coated for greater purity and more precise tolerances. Five standard sizes for preclears.
Their ergonomic design is lightweight for total comfort and perfect accuracy. Specifically engineered electrodes for Solo auditors meet the same standard and deliver the same comfort.
The result: flawless connectivity with the Meter.
Perfection achieved.
Function is Everything
Solid support for maximum gains. The Mark Ultra VIII Meter’s shield provides a smartly designed support for references and dictionaries of virtually any size.
This extra functionality lets you focus 100% of your attention on your preclear—for steady progress up the Bridge.
The smallest details are managed for maximum gains.
A Perfect Fit, Made State-of-the-Art
Safeguard your Mark Ultra VIII while in transit with this sleek, state-of-the-art carrying case. It’s custom-engineered durability for the ultimate in protection and security. Wherever in the world your sessions take you, you’ll be ready.
Your Guarantee of Total Freedom
The Mark Ultra VIII raises technical standards and speed of case gain to heights never before attained.
In session with the Mark Ultra VIII you will experience not only the highest standards of technical perfection, but also the most spectacular gains and speed up The Bridge.
Total freedom—true to Ron’s vision.
The Mark Ultra VIII—an entirely new level of perfection. The most extraordinary meter you will ever experience. Its unequaled precision, clarity and ease of operation are here for you—with accuracy guaranteed forever.

Espiritu says
I doubt it too. Repaying and refunding money would be completely out of character for the COS.
But on the other hand, this is interesting. I know an engineer who works for a company whose product is doing 100% legal reverse engineering for other companies.
Edge, do you have any confirmation of this from anyone you know? 🙂
edge says
I remember a story a while back at Tony’s about a guy that left Flag to go home and once the church found out he had left the church for good they visited him, and gave him money to buy back the Mark VIII Ultra. I get that they hate the very mention of refunds, but on the other hand they really do want to control ownership of this meter. .

Didn’t know about INCOMM pretty interesting but doesn’t seam revolutionary given the computer systems in use at the time. For example BBSes, APRANET and even AA’s Sabre. Also, LRH’s visions of computers were inline with other SciFi writters of the time.
DodoTheLaser says
“Or does it unfold into beautiful Serenity of Beingness origami?”
Hahaha! Thanks, FOTF2012. Great points!
Feel better soon, Mike.
FOTF2012 says
What a bunch of BS!
— Perfection achieved? Congratulations. You added a computer chip to your Wheatstone Bridge and put a Jetson’s style case over it.
— Custom-engineered? Custom means made for a particular customer. If it is mass produced, it is not custom.
— Response at the speed of light? Come on. The laser would go at the speed of light, but the speed of electricity through wires and circuits is about 1/100th the speed of light. Of course, Hubbard had big M/Us on light speed, so those are probably “scripture” now.
— Advanced digital technology? Maybe better than they had. Relative to the rest of the world, still behind.
— 50,000-times-clearer reads? Really? How was that quantified? Are you sure it’s not 46,381 times clearer?
— Laser-precise engineering? What does that even mean? The case was cut out by lasers? The silicon chip was etched by a laser?
— Self-calibration? Whoo-hoo. Artificial intelligence is just a delusion away. Lots of machines can run self-checks. Computer do it all the time, for example looking for software updates.
— Ergonomic design for maximum comfort? Personally, I find the design and funky, swirly subliminal “8” for infinity to be hard to read and distracting. Ergonomic? Not if it is straining the heck out of the auditor’s eyes. Give a big, simple, clear display.
— Automatic tracking of session length? Otherwise known as a stopwatch.
— Customizable time zones? Like any computer.
— Multilingual display in 16 languages? Only 16? A Mac OS displays in around 30 languages. The meter is downstat!
— Elimination of electronic interference for ultimate needle accuracy? Huh? It didn’t have that before? Maybe that’s why everyone has to redo all their prior levels — because the reads were invalid due to interference from the hidden audio and video recording devices capturing every session detail.
— Annual update that can be done online—no need to send in your meter ever? Finally, but just annual? Windows and Mac continually do updates online.
— Ultralightweight cans with a unique coating process for optimum connectivity? Hopefully someone thought to test the coating to make sure people don’t get metal or plastic toxicity over time.
— Sleek, ergonomic, state-of-the-art carrying case — Good God! Look up the meaning of these words. It looks clunky and boxy. Ergonomic? It appears to have a handle that won’t flex much — give it an extendable handle and wheels and get current. State-of-the-art? LOL. What in the world does a state-of-the-art carrying case even mean? It looks like a simple clam-shell design. Or does it unfold into beautiful Serenity of Beingness origami? Or transform into kitchenette or a scooter to get around on?
It is so sad that some people will read the hype and not think about it critically.
Michael Mallen says
FOTF2012, I take it you’re not buying one.
edge says
Oddly enough, this overhyped e-meter is probably one of the safest purchases you can make inside the bubble. Yes it’s $5000, and you’re expected to buy two of them. Being that they’re mass produced off shore I would bet that their manufacturing cost is under $100 per meter, so they are a ripoff. But when I mean ‘safe’ purchase, I mean that you are practically guaranteed to get your money back. When someone falls out of line, the church doesn’t come and confiscate all your Sci books that are stockpiled in the garage or your oversized certs and bowling trophies. But they are so scared shitless of this new meter popping up on ebay like older models or in the hands of indies or people who just want to take it apart to show the world the primitive technology underneath its shiny shell, that should you fall afoul of their ways they will swoop down on you and buy it back. They really want to control ownership of this thing even after you’ve plunked down your money and bought it. But as a consolation, it likely means you’re getting your 5Gs back if you wake up or get declared.
Michael Mallen says
I doubt that Edge.
Espiritu says
The ad forgot to mention that one cannot REALLY buy one of these. Why? Because they must be “updated” annually or they will cease to function and the only way that they can be “updated” is on-line via the COS. If the buyer “falls out of favor” with the COS, they will not “update” it. So you see, it’s really only a “Warehouse Rental” which will most likely become a very expensive paperweight eventually if one was foolish enough to fork over money for one.
And let’s not forget that people have audited successfully at all levels for decades with the earlier models and are still doing so.
Michael Mallen says
Warehouse – what marketing genius thought up that name?
The Dark Avenger says
It’s actually a J&D term, because they were in storage for almost a decade before being released unto the CoS public.
Michael Mallen says
Oh, right. Now the name makes sense.
Kemist says
Did they really have a custom chip made, for what, 50 000 devices max ?
If so, they are really insane in the membrane.
Also, it still looks like an Easy-Bake oven. Pity that can’t bake cupcakes with it. That would actually be useful.
Rick Mycroft says
It wasn’t really a custom chip, but they stopped making it years ago. To make more of these, they have to find a supplier with stock (maybe) and pay through the nose.
Rick Mycroft says
Then again, I could gut it, drop in a Raspberry Pi and WiFi for $45, and add an HD HDMI video output. The question is: What to do with the 98% unused capacity of the Pi?
Michael Mallen says
Who cares?
Kemist says
Use it to build a botnet ?
Rick Mycroft says
@Michael Mallen: You’re right. It would be a total waste of a perfectly good Raspberry Pi. Still a gutted e-meter case might make a nice retro-look Internet Radio if you could find or make some matching speakers.
Michael Mallen says
Just my opinion, but I find the meter rather ugly.
Mike Nimble says
This thing is a scam within a scam. To think it is the centerpiece and foundation of “auditing” … breathtaking in its simplicity and audacity.
“Beyond earth electronics” … your first transistor radio was more complex than the guts of this thing.
Why do they still have this stupid analog needle? Does the CoS computer room has banks of those huge tape drive things (the ones you see in old movies) too.
i see they have added on a digital display and cool things like “time zone”, lol. I guess they have to make the pretense of keeping up with the times.
50,000 times clearer … the stupid needle does not have that much resolution.
This is like those gadgets that get sold to hi-fi buffs that improve “clarity”, “imaging”, “openness”, “mellowness”, and other vague undefinable qualities, and also seem to cost many thousands of dollars.
I have sympathy for people who get pulled into the sophisticated lies of CoS, but I struggle to see how this device is not instantly recognizable as a fraud in every possible aspect.
Todd Cray says
For a mere $1495 extra, they will include a tinfoil hat
Mike says
While testing it actually fell short of 50,000 times clearer results, although it’s an improvement I can only see an increase of 40,000-45,000 times clearer.
Michael Mallen says
Yes, mine was only 48,563 times clearer so they’ve definitely got some bugs to work out.
Rick Mycroft says
The digital to analog converter going to the meter only has 4096 levels from 0 to full meter swing. If they weren’t using a meter with poor dampening, you could look at it under a magnifying glass and see it tick into position like a second hand on a watch.
Beryl says
DM will love this meter. It is perfect for sec checking.
BlondesAreDumb says
They need to sell this on the Home Shopping Network. More exposure and people can call in and have their questions about the product and its uses answered. Scientology needs to move into 21st century advertising and marketing. Maybe they will start small with their own TV network or radio?
How about someone taking an e-meter to one of the documentary showings and placing on public property for viewing?
Third Side Of The Coin says
It’s interesting how both you and Tony Ortega got the flu and have also recently been in the same spaces on a mission to destroy Miscavige & Miscavage’ology.
I DISAGREE that its because those groups you were on mission with are Suppressive – quite the contrary ! Y’all are applying LRH Tech (not necessarily what LRH applied !) to Miscavige and Miscavige’olgy – i.e you are destroying him & it. (Which is what KSW calls for). The Going Clear crew are completely On-Policy !!
And look at the Fun you guys are having doing it ! Where there is Fun – there is LRH Tech being applied.
(I am not implying that LRH necessarily applied the Tech. that he worked to compile & release).
No – I would guess that the PTS’ness showing up is originating from the Miscavige / Miscavige’ology camp. Evidence is that you were recently physically threatened from / by that camp. That is surely a PTS situation. And in my experience a threat like that is enough to bring on reactions like illness, as per the PTS references.
How it is for You is up to You to decide – not wanting to evaluate You – or for You !
(Also, travelling in general combined with a lack of Nutritional care for self (due to the pressures of life), can contribute big time to a negative Wellness Stat, in my experience).

Any device with a moving needle is not digital, it is analog. The hype is truly ridiculous, but loyal minion will never see that.
Mike is perfectly correct in stating that the emeter Lroon last wanted was a suicide machine. Burn those thetans off. No exercise required, no heavy lifting. Bend steel with your bare hands.
When with the minions get that WTF moment? All the ‘up you status’ and ‘donate now, until it is past hurting’ stuff just eats all future revenue. DM has placed 2pm Thursday above next year.

John Locke says
It is just an analog Wheatstone bridge. If you made it digital it would SLOW DOWN the reading of it via a needle. Why aren’t the cans, leads and circuitry made out of silver? Its resistivity is only (ohm) 1.59 x 10-8. Also, the electrons don’t move from the meter, through your body and back to the meter at the speed of light. The VAST majority of scn’ers I’ve known hate science for some reason. Weird
Michael Mallen says
John those are suppressive facts. Please report in to your local MAA who will straighten you out.

OK, I know you have been EAGERLY awaiting my review of #GOINGCLEAR!!!
Here it is in all it’s glory. http://ragingbuddha.net/movies…
Yes that is a link to my blog dammit! Get on over there and read it and give me a little love. There were celebrities there and I got to speak with both Alex Gibney and Lawrence Wright after. Also Larry Anderson of the Orientation Film was there. Spoke to him before the movie. It was electric and wonderful. Friday nights showing is going to be a whole other experience at the DOME!!!
Mike Rinder says
BBJ — wonderful review. You have real talent as a writer. You made me laugh several times. And you captured the essence of the film perfectly.

Joe Pendleton says
You’d think they could have at least added a little light that blinked when the needle did its three swing thing. And yet Ron said in the ’60s that he thought the meter was perfect THEN … and he got all that history of man stuff located on one of the real antiques. (To say nothing of getting through “the wall of fire” on his whit meter) … hmmm … and now it’s 50,000 times more accurate. So all that stuff that Ron found …..

So what would happen if you wore a pair of thin transparent latex gloves while undergoing auditing with an e-meter? I have a feeling that the super-duper, gosh, wow, make sure you are wearing a plastic raincoat to hide your excitement hunk of plastic with el cheapo insides will have a cost of $5k plus and you can bet that the demented dwarf will have a whole slew of “new and improved” rehashes of courses lurking not far behind.
KFrancis says
Not interested in the Ultra but I have to say, I would love a set of the new cans,they would be great for my solo auditing out here in the Independent field.
cindy says
It’s made so if you displease anyone in the church, they can remotely turn off your meter so it doesn’t work. And when you buy the new one, they make you turn in your old one. Can’t have those “old” meters showing up in Indie Scns hands, now can we?
Eclipse-girl says
Get the rest you need, Mike
Potpie says
Well that all sounds wonderful but I recall on the BC tapes LRH talking about one not really
needing a meter if one really understood PC indicators.
I would agree a meter is good for assessing etc but observing a PC’s indicators will take an auditor
along quite well in a session. The stories I have read recently about auditors staring at the meter are
really indicators of an auditor of the 21st century not really knowing (or being stopped from observing)
what is going on with the PC in front of them.
I used the mark V for a long time and never once thought the meter should be improved….because I guess I
was too busy observing the indicators of the PC in front of me. That meter served its purpose quite well.
thegman77 says
That’s probably also why you and the pc actually got good results. If I’d ever had an auditor who just looked at the meter and was not paying any attention to me, I’d have put the cans down, stated “this session is over”, gotten up and walked out. (I actually did exactly this at ASHO back in the day. The only truly bad auditor I ever had.

Elimination of electronic interference for ultimate needle accuracy!!! In other words those reads you thought you had on your old meters; like when you got Sec Checked; they could have just been a bad ballast on the florescent lights, old microwave oven nearby, cell phone getting a call, etc. Sorry about that, but didn’t you feel better after getting that “rock slam” handled anyway at your cost!!! But we promise that this new meter will this time finally deliver on our promise of perfection because we’re above logic 6* this time for reals, yo!!!! Also, this meter won’t be suddenly reprogrammed to rock slam randomly just before you’re declared!!! We promise and you know we’re the most honest… wait, not , ugh, I mean ethical not honest group on the planet!!!!!!
I mean don’t think about that sentence or the preceding ones. Just send us your money for 3 of these perfect meters.
PS, just because the Annual update can be done online doesn’t mean we’ll be reducing the cost of the annual. But think of it this way, instead of giving money to the Suppressive shipping companies, you can donate the saving to us. Oh, forgot to mention this earlier but we’re adding another 20% to the cost of doing an annual. Also, your meter will stop working if you don’t do the online annual on time. But the Good News is this way declares and the psychs who fund them won’t be able to use this meter. Also, you won’t be able to trade or sell the meter!!!!
Oh PPS, I know you heard the rumor that the next meter will come with a camera, microphone, WiFi, and cellar connectivity for recording and reporting all sessions and non-sessions, website visits, thoughts, etc to INT 80,000 times faster!!!!. Which will be fantastic because then you’ll be 120,000x times less likely to think unapproved thoughts or see unapproved sources which can reverse all case gain at 5,000,000x times!!!! and require you to do an A to E which will be 1200,1020431x slower when GAT 3.2.1 arrives. But have you heard the latest??? It will come with a printer so that you can get your yellow slip instantly! that’s like 3092348,2304a,ie1n!##30xxx faster!!!
Please remember that just because a new meter is in the works it doesn’t make the existing one any less perfect or ideal until the next one is released and then you should throw the existing on out because it is a complete SP hunk of junk and order the new one!!!
And Yes, the new IX BIG BROTHER meter has been designed, test and built. But Miscavige won’t let us release them until we sell all of the existing VII. So stop commenting overts in present time and order your VIII. You know warehousing doesn’t come cheap even with SeaOrg Labor costs…

this_way says
Every advance in the “technology” announced by $cientology has got to be a little disconcerting for the members still in the cult. I have to wonder why they keep admitting that yesterday’s technology really was less than ideal but today’s technology is the one that will save the planet. It is a huge invalidation of the experience of everyone that was conditioned with the old technology. It just seems to be a little unthinking to admit so openly that it is all bs.
yodarthmeow says

Chee Chalker says
I remember getting a digital watch when I was in 5th grade (which would have been the 70s). So are we really supposed to believe that a digital screen was ‘beyond Earth electronics’ when LRH was alive?
And is the 21st century the ‘digital age’?? If Ron was able to write instructions for future improvements to the e-meter, why didn’t he leave instructions on what to.do with the future of telex ‘technology’? Wasn’t Ron able to foresee fax machines? CDs and DVDs (as opposed to cassettes)? The INTERNET?????
Feel better Mike!
!From83 says
Just because I love arguing am going to hand you two reasons why LRH didn’t see the internet coming from the past!!!
1. It’s only because of Scientology that this place is sane enough to have a free and instant communications network. LRH not AL GORE made the internet possible!!!
b. Most Societies on the track had communications networks like the internet but they more resembled the North Korean, Iranian, etc version all designed to give those in power total control over communications.
2. The stage of having a free internet in a society is followed very quickly by having mind control chips installed on nearly everyone and that is why LRH simply missed it!!!
1984 says
CC, the guts of the warehouse 8 is digital, the needle movement part is still analog (same as before).
The TA accuracy of 1/1000 tells you, if you had this on your gas tank, you could drive from NY to LA, and instead of knowing how many Gallons or Liters of gas used, you would know how many Milliliters or fractional Ounces of gas was used. (They seem to be saying that this alone would be worth it to you.)
Digital is generally used to reduce production costs. (The remote control factor has yet to be established.)
BTW 83, Ron started INCOMM.
All of this only proves that anything can made worse.
John Locke says
1984, El Wrong ordered OutofComm to be formed LONG after the internet was formed. For that matter, Al Bore passed his internet creation legislation AFTER commercialization of the Internet started (1991). Still don’t understand how sheeple think that he had anything to do with its creation. Just proves that Barnum was right I guess.
Michael Mallen says
LRH was advising DARPA.
Gimpy says
And still the question remains – if they really wanted people to progress in scn why do they charge $5000 for this? Based on the components it will have cost a couple hundred $’s at the most to build in the first place.
Best of all the idiots are paying for something they never really own – should they fall foul of the “church” it will be disabled and then they can’t sell it on Ebay!
McCarran says
A hole has been created for dead E-meters.
whostolemycog says
If they really wanted to clear the planet, why would they charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to end war and bring sanity to this prison planet? It goes back to the founder who theorized on getting rich by starting a religion…
Scientology is about one thing and one thing only…the Benjamins.

It’s based on research notes of Ron’s when he was investigating a primitive non earth society in an alternate universe.
Glad to have cleared it up for all concerned.
Ella R says
Take care Mike. No substitute for fluids and bed rest.

I wonder when these “cutting edge marvels” of the year 2000 will start showing up on eBay after the forthcoming mass exodus.
statpush says
Why on earth would anyone want 50,000 more precision? Or TA broken-down to 1/1000 of a div? What problem does this solve? These are orders of magnitude beyond physical perceptions.
This is all part if the “auditing is an exact science” malarkey.
!From83 says
Am actually thinking about this with 1/1000 divisions. That’s probably so accurate that if you where to breath on the TA dial it’ll probably appear as a read on the meter. So much for eliminating electronic noise, now that dish washer on the floor below will cause a rock slam!!!
Sindy Sloan Fagen says
50,000 times clearer? Wow! Good grief they just pull these numbers out of the stratosphere and slap them on a piece of promo. What does that even mean?
Mike, thanks for putting out anything at all when you don’t feel well. I find this posting fascinating because if its utter absurdity. What else is new.
McCarran says
It’s amazing the shit parishioners have to gloss over to remain hooked.
Old Surfer Dude says
Hmmmmmmm. Powerful is the Kool-Aid in these poor souls.
thegman77 says
Correction: It’s not the stratosphere out of which they pull the numbers. It’s *much* closer to home.
McCarran says
Geezuz Mike. Didn’t you know? “If it’s not written; it’s not true.” So, if it’s written; it’s true.
Idle Morgue says
Finally, a meter where I can focus on MY CASE…
NOT ON….
the regg just sold me 2 old meters and they won’t exchange them out – what happened to “doctrine of exchange”?
the amount of money I spent to be in session (but don’t have) and will it ever be enough to finish “going clear”
my straight up and vertical DEBT balance
the regges that will hound me down after the session and take my last dime so I can’t even get home from Flag
how many engrams they will make me run until I am Clear and the money, time and effort
how will I tell my spouse about the status I just moved us up into
how long they will hold me here and will I lose my job
what amends project will the MAA enforce on me this time
the suicides, cancer deaths and blows
the increasing SP list
no one coming into the Church – don’t see any expansion anywhere
Super Power did not work ~ no changes in cases I have seen….must more “insouciant”
L’s did not work for those I saw do them…they were just more arrogant
There are no Clears
Have never seen one fricken Oat Tea
WHO were the SP’s – I never did hear who they were…and LRH says SP’s speak in generalities – who are these guys that “changed the tech”???????
but with this new E-Meter ~~~~~
I CAN RELAX AS A BEING AND TRULY GET “IN SESSION” and not be focused on MY CASE???
whostolemycog says
The ad was 100% Ron Popeil nauseous…but with added portions of hyperbole and BS.
Scientology – All the hyperbole to choke a horse combined with enough BS to fill the wagon it’s pulling.
Jens TINGLEFF says
Get well soon, Mike. Lots of rest is probably in order.
Oh, and the cans for the warehouse Mk VIII comes in five sizes? Maybe they’re now suitable for the hands of Captain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige?
thegman77 says
What utter BS. It’s as if the machine is what causes the session. Of course, that annual update is a real giveaway. More money in the pot, guaranteed control over the person using it, the capability to turn it off long distance.
Get well, Mike. Being ill is really dreary.
McCarran says
It used to be that the E-meter was just a tool.
It appears now that the auditor is the tool.
thegman77 says
So are the whales! LOL
jeffleebrown says
My Egg Beater does more good and it only cost 2 bucks at Kmart.
burythenuts says
And the egg beater can remove 50000 times more body thetan’s per session…..
McCarran says
🙂 That’s cuz the egg beater is Tone 40.
Old Surfer Dude says
Man, you folks are reading my mind! While my wife used our egg beater in the kitchen, I was outside on our deck. Even being that far away, my body thetans we’re fleeing like mad! Now granted I was sing loud and off key, but, I’m telling ya, egg beater tech can’t be beat! I’m pretty sure I’m down to my last 1,000 body thetans. Who would have thunk it! A simple tool just about everyone has in their kitchen can cause body thetans who are attached to you to head to Target 2 to infest a large man living there.
Egg Beater Technology! Get your egg on!
Old Surfer Dude says
Mike, what you need is Egg Beater Technology. Ask your wife…she’ll know.
Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery!
john johnson says
I hope someone gives me one of these as a birthday present. I’d like to audit my spouse for withholds.
koki says
is there Bulgravian ?
Mike, great blog. Thank you.
Big hello from LRHs Bulgravia.
threefeetback says
Dave is MIA, have you seen him?
koki says
lol. you got me. I am OSA. Iam here because of you! you are so important to us!
Big hello from LRHs Bulgravia,

How do you like that trailer near San Louis Obispo?
Michael Mallen says
He’s tied up right now with a case of Scotch 95 miles outside of Hemet in a secure location planning his next move. Thanks for asking.
