                      Praise "Bob"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Step right this way son...






     Is your maze all blind alleys?  Is your soft brain hardwired?
Are you always left clutching the cold chickenwire mother?  Is there not
nearly enough of some certain 'something' in your life?  Sex?  Money?  Great
old movies on T.V.?  Imported beer?  Power over others?  ALL OF THE ABOVE???
     The SubGenius Foundation has a name for that nameless something.
SLACK.  Yes, SLACK!  SLACK, the perfect IS-ness!  SLACK, that state where
you need nothing because you have it all ready!  Sound good?  You bet!
     My friend, for only one dollar, less than the price of a pack of
cigarettes, you can be on your way to experiencing all the good drugs,
weird sex, bizzare prophesies, twisted rituals and riproaring fun you can 
handle and much more!  YES, you can still get in on the ground floor of
the SLACK goldmine!
     Furthermore, you have to give up less of your mind than required by
any other strange cult, and at only a fraction of the cost!  But wait, there's
even more!  For a mere twenty dollars you can join the clergy of The Church
of the SubGenius, you can be a minister and have your own flock of mindless
teenage followers to do your bidding!
    All this is made possible through the great prophet J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
"Bob" will free you from the petty constraints of so called "civilization".
"Bob" will show you how to beat the system.  "Bob" will open your eyes to
great conspiracy.  "Bob" will answer any question.  "Bob" will bring SLACK
without guilt because you will pay for it with no strings attached!
     Why don't YOU get in on the ground floor of the world's fastest
growing religion while the rates are still low.  No time to waste, THE
WORLD ENDS TOMORROW AND YOU MAY DIE!
