HIGH LORD ZEN

An apology for not being able to spread my wisdom to my disciples (and I’m sure there are many) last week, but as my editor mentioned, I was watching Star Trek VI and my editor didn’t think your enlightenment was worth disturbing me over. You know the second I heard that you needed your message of the week, I would have jumped from my bed (alone [anyone interested in correcting this situation should contact the editor]) and written you an inspirational message of chaos and destruction.

I’ve always held that when being accosted by your local chapter of bible thumpers (bald or otherwise), the most effective technique to get rid of them is to describe in intimate detail your last human sacrifice with particular interest paid to the parts where you spread lots o’blood all over your body. It’s also fun when hanging with a friend in a public place and you start discussing the same thing. The looks you get are really cool.

It’s come to my attention that some people are taking my articles seriously, and I find this insulting and debasing. The thing that people found they couldn’t stomach last time was my talk about RA training. Get a grip, I was operating on guess work, so reality never had the slightest possibility of entering my mind. So just take it easy.

Oh, and by the way while I liked Star Trek VI, I hope to me that they don’t do anything stupid like make another one; or really stupid like have Shatner write or direct it. Does everybody remember the scene where you saw the Enterprise from the back and they left the blinker on for like ten minutes? Definite evidence that the crew of the Enterprise is much too old.

Later.
