ONLINE CHURCH SERVICES BY IRC Every Sunday!!

#subgenius on Undernet, 10 pm EST!

Date: 3 Jun 1996
Organization: The SubGenius Foundation, Inc.

A SubGenius at large invited us to do some IRC live blabber on #bob the other day, and I got to thinking. The Foundation hasn't really taken advantage of IRC yet. It's another way to SELL, if nothing else.

Let's set a time every week, like... I dunno, 10 pm EST Sunday nights -- I'll put a notice on SubSITE too -- so that interested Subs can all get together for a Sunday Night Online Rantathon and Free-for-All Devival. It could be a real festival of stupidity. Every couple of months, AOL has me guest in their Center Stage thingie, and those are pretty fun. But then, they're "moderated." An unmoderated SubGenius IRC ... the mind boggles. It would be like 10 SubG radio shows all playing at once. What horror. Might be an abundance of unfunny kids. Might be a miraculous new generator of endless text dogma. Definitely a way for Jesus and me to hawk some of the new goods we have cookin'. No telling until we do it.

Once a week is about as much time as most grown up SubGenii can afford to spend on such frivolity. I figure most of us are likely to be "out" on Friday and Saturday nights, and weeknights just aren't as... HOLY.

Our friend had suggested using #bob. But #bob is sometimes used by Normals named Bob, and by quasi-SubGeniuses with only the most rudimentary, net-based knowledge of the Church. Most of them can't even spell ""Bob"" right. The channel name #slack has been used before and would be fine in any other decade, but that name currently tends to attract people who are merely "Slackers," i.e., callow youth dedicated to what we would probably consider FALSE Slack. So I suggest #subgenius, which is quite specific and is unlikely to be being used by noninitiates.

So.... See ya Sunday. 10 PM EST on #subgenius Church Services via IRC. EYIYIYIYIYI

That's 9 pm Central time, 8 in the mountains and 7 for the Worst Coasters. And "subgenius" does not have an "o" in it.
