Some of our most popular items (like Book of the SubGenius) are already temporarily sold out, but our celebrated books Revelation X and The Psychlopaedia of Slack are still in stock (and all signed by Rev. Stang), as are all our DVDs, CDs, MP3-packed CDRs, even the SubGenius-Illuminati-NWO game box set and "Bob" condom packs.

For the SubGenius who has everything, The Official 2010 SubGenius Calendar is out! It's not especially cheap, but the paper it's printed on is slicker than snot on a doorknob:

We have a new favorite online magazine that has lately surpassed the old STARK FIST and even QUIJIBO in pure fun:

Kern's Holler Journal

This is Rev. Tater's ongoing compendium of the best rants, reports, poems and short stories by the top SubGenius writers and experts in The Forbidden Sciences. Includes some of the best of alt.slack by rip-snorters like Rev. Back It On Up, Rev. Stang, and good old Tater Gumfries hisself.

The Bob Belt

This is another of Tater's projects, and works with Google Earth. Go to this site and add to the list your fancy Church name and vague or fictional location (exact address not necessary!). Displays a graphic of Planet Earth with "pushpins" showing areas of concentration of SubGenius life: the "Bob" Belt. (Hint: Give this one extra time to load.)

Good News About Rev. Magdalen's Child Custody Case!

FINALLY!

"As of October 4, 2009, the case has been dismissed and custody of Reverend Magdalen's son has been awarded to her. This appears to mean that after over three years of legal wrangling and over $100,000 in costs to her, Magdalen, her husband, and her ex-boyfriend are back to the status quo. That, plus she is still the only SubGenius officially banned from keeping SubGenius materials in her home, where her innocent son might accidentally come across them and become corrupted into the corrupt, obscene, decadent SubGenius cult that got his Mom into trouble in the first place."

ALT.SLACK - AN ESPECIALLY WIGGLY WORLD

As always, for the most up-to-date daily SubGenius news and commentary on current events, as well as pages of insane ravings by actual kooks and hilarious mockings of them by expert kook-bashers, see the #1 SubGenius forum, alt.slack. Experienced geeks will want to use an actual newsreader program for this Usenet newsgroup, but the rest of us can use our plain browsers via:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.slack/topics

At any given time on alt.slack, half the threads will concern flaming and kook-bashing that may only baffle newbies. Beginners are advised to look for thread subject titles that originate from known SubSources. It's like one big bizarre, messed-up, hilarious family, and the focus of SubGenius as a social phenomenon. However there are even more forums listed on our SubSITE News Page too:

http://www.subgenius.com/updates/updates.html

One last thing: times are tough, and the Church of the SubGenius could really use a donation!

To donate via Paypal:

The Stark Fist of Removal Online

Dear Friend,

Praise "Bob," and let us utter a resounding "WHEW." We at The SubGenius Foundation had a VERY busy summer, with numerous SubGenius devivals and outdoor festivals, and we're looking forward to spending more time in the office, finishing up numerous projects-in-progress. BUT! -- there is one last devival this year.

PORTLAND, OREGON Devival, October 10

This promises to be a classic old-time Devival, with guest preachers Dr. Hal, Rev. Ivan Stang, Dr. Philo Drummond, Princess Wei R. Doe and The Duke of Uke joining hosts Dr. Onan Canobite and Rev. Crawford Smith. (In other words, the main authors of the SubGenius books will almost all be in one place.) There are also three bands and Dobbs only knows what else. Address and lots more detail can be found at http://pdxdevival.com/

Past Devivals: Photo Galleries and Audio

We had big fun and recorded much audio and video at the recent DragonCon in Atlanta, DEVOtional in Cleveland and Starwood Festival in New York. Sermons, songs, and much much worse can be heard on current HOURS OF SLACK in MP3 (and possibly on your local station -- check the list at the link). Photos, and in some cases videos, from the various devivals and stage shows can be seen via links on our EVENTS page. CAREFUL: some of these photos are naughty and what might be considered 'NOT SAFE FOR WORK.' DVDs of some of our past shows can also be found in our video catalog.

Great New SubGenius Spin-Off Website: Kern's Holler Journal

New Projects at SubGenius Foundation

We're getting tired of the Internet. It's been almost 20 years for some of us. The thrill is gone. We are back to working on books and movies. We intend to keep doing the weekly Hour of Slack for broadcast (and Internet) but are looking for a SubGenius with pay-website experience to help with subgenius.com. In the meantime, check out our main Internet forum:

Alt.slack

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.slack/topics

(It can also be reached with any Usenet browser if you have Usenet access.)

Alt.slack is the busiest online SubGenius meeting place by far. It is also the most kook-ridden, which makes for the finest in kook bashing by some of the top experts in that field. This is where to find links to several new SubGeniusly items of interest per day.

Best New SubGenius Products - Books, DVDs, Clothing

Our main BULLDADA CATALOG includes the latest of our 5 books. Did we mention that all books sold through our website are signed by Rev. Ivan Stang?

http://www.subgenius.com/scatalog/mediashack.html

And there is another catalog with zillions of colorful SubGenius designs on T-shirts, house wares, gifts, stash-boxes, you name it, at THE SUBGENIUS STORE:
