Devout SubGenius. Caught a devival as a young lad, was too busy focusing on a girl I was there with to really listen, but kept thinking about it as years went by. Couldn't remember squat, not even "Bob's" name, saw his face from time to time in passing but could never catch up to ask "what the hell is that?" Then one day I found Hour of Slack episode one on youtube, "this is the thing!" I thought, as I found the book used, bought it, found the website, and immediatly got ordained while listening to episode two.
The rest is history. PRA'BOB!
The Rupture has come and gone, yet we are all still here. Where’s your Bob now?
There are many theories, pink one. One such theory is that the rupture did happen, the apocalypse is just slower than we imagined. Another is that "Bob" wrote the year upside down on the napkin, it is actually in 8661. Another is that it simply isn't 1998 yet, and The Conspiracy has been fucking with the calendar for a long time. There is some evidence to substantiate all of these, so they all may as well be true.
I’m a fan of the Slow Apocalypse theory. It would explain so much…
It really does!
