Hard for IJC to face death? He’s already there. He’s the walking dead.

Toot,

possible quiz answers: Staff Member Card, the Corral

OSD I will be there! I am bringing 3 never-ins. Later show though – have to work.

Different topic:

Does anyone remember the 5 cards we would lose if our stats were down? Liberty, Pay, Chow, Berthing…what is that last one? And did I get them in the correct order of being lost?

Does anyone remember what the name of the “space” was next to the LA IEC off Catalina behind the trash dumpsters? It was home to the DPF before that was disbanded.

Lol. Thanks.

Give eadh identified or suspected OSA bot a TWTH booklet.

Yeah, but he works for the Pope! What could be better than that?

Here’s an article about Schoenberg and his 3rd String Quartet, which has something of a CoS theme in the last movement, with the poem beginning “I feel the air of another planet”, along with a breaking down of the tonal system.

I read the whole thing. Can’t believe I took the time to do that. It was so… utterly… surreal. That’s a good word for it. Surreal. His answers to Babbitt were really stupid. The image kept coming up for me in Parts 1 and 2 and even in 3…that he would stop the whole proceeding and beg for Amnesty, pleading that they don’t let him go back to the Sea Org because he would then be sent to the RPF. Or the RPF’s RPF.

Can you imagine something like that happening in one of those depositions? Like Nureyev leaving while touring the U.S. Ellis acted like he was dancing on hot stones. Then, in the 4th part, when Pope got up to question him, he seemed to relax.

The guy has wasted his life. What is he? Sixty years old? Probably never had a vacation in his whole life. Never had a passionate romantic fling. Never read a good novel or binged on Game of Thrones. It’s hard to face death when you’ve never lived.

Perhaps bring some Welcome OSA t-shirts so they don’t feel completely ignored.
