What if The Straight Dope is really a cult?

Heh - you said “#2.” :smiley:

The OP’s a Replicant!

Everyone, get him!

I remember when people used to complain about the hamsters that powered the Dope servers - now that banning is more frequent, you don’t see those complaints. The servers seem to be better powered…

Coincidence, I think not.

Cult? Nonsense! Now I’ll have to ritually purify my computer by submerging it in a mixture of tomato juice and semen as Cecil instructed or else it will be infected by the gremlins of doubt! Thanks a LOT!

“We place no reliance on virgin or pidgeon. Our method is science, our aim is religion” – The rules of the Great Debates forum. Or Aleister Crowley. I always get those two mixed up.

sung to the tune of “eleanor rigby”
something i’ve kind of always wanted to do _

aleister crowley
staying with his wife in a house that they rent by the nile
drunk all the while
look at him writing
taking dictation from aiwass as he has been told
lunch getting cold

all thelema’s people
doing what they will
all thelema’s people
of love they take their fill

grady mcmurtry
filling his pipe with the leftover hash from the mass
stoned off his ass
somewhere in Berkeley
fanning the flame of an Order that nobody knows
watch as it grows

all thelema’s people
doing what they will
all thelema’s people
of love they take their fill

ah, look at all thelema’s people
ah, look at all thelema’s people

aleister crowley
dancing and dining alone at his own greater feast,
farewell, great beast;
grady mcmurtry
claiming his caliphate powers to run OTO
on with the show

all thelema’s people
doing what they will
all thelema’s people
of love they take their fill

Please take notice that this thread is about the possibility of The Straight Dope being a cult, not what can possibly happen when one suddenly stops taking Prozac.

Fine. Now pass the Kool-aide. :smiley:
