Scientology Street Fair

I took time off from beating my wife to post this video.

Words fail me as to how pathetic these people are.

It’s tough to inturbulate this.

dave, you’re really Weird.
I’ll have to check out the video when I get home, but for now Im trying to figure out how to work "I took time off from beating my wife to … " into casual conversation.

Did your arm get tired ?

I suspicion that WeirdDave doesn’t really beat his wifer. He’s probably just riffing on old Hubbard Dianetics stories that suggest that a lot of your troubles stem from engrams that get encoded in your subconscious when yopu’re still a fetus in the womb, and Daddy’s beating Mommy, as usual. This kind of thing goes on all the time, according to circa 1950s Dianetics literature (as get it from Martin Gardner’s Fads and Fallacies, and other sources.) So he’s just using details from Scientology’s past to make a li’l joke. Like Lance Murdoh’s use of the Scieno buzz-word “inturbulate” (which, I think, really ought to be “enturbulate”, but it’s hard to keep these neologisms straight).
Of course, I could be wrong. Have you stopped beating your wife, yet, weirddave?

I feel so out of touch–it seems I shall have to devote more time to catching up on a crackpot religion if I wish to get the humor. It was hard enough to do just so I could keep up with The Life of Brian. Still, precedent suggests it will be worth it. How owuld I go about finding someone to talk to about Scientology?

Why? What are you afraid of?

(hint - watch the video before responding)

Or it could be that in the video, one of the Scientology guys asks the filmer if he took time off from beating his wife to come down there. But then he says he looks like a child molester, so they made up.

Whether WeirdDave has or has not stopped beating his wife is irrelevant. If he hasn’t given himself over to Bob, he’s a goner anyway.

Yes, I know this is a pointless and annoying hijack. But I happen to think that the Church of the SubGenius makes at least as much sense as Scientoxicity.

Well, in fairness, the cameraman did cop to cutting a guy into pieces and burying him in a ditch, so really, anything is possible.

He did until Ginger Snapped.

Inigo saying you’re weird is like Giraffe calling you tall. You should be proud Wierddave, probably.

bookmarking it so i can watch at home.

:smiley:

Surely that is meant to be eaten, not beaten. Maybe Canadian cookies are different.

Jeez, how do you get police officers to deny people access to public streets at the whim of the event permit holder? I haven’t seen that since the Republican Convention came to NYC.

“Hubbard didn’t make up the word inturbulate. It was already in the English language.”

Merriam Webster has it.

Just kidding.

The word is enturbulate. :wink:
