Mike I haven’t been receiving your emails. I have to check your blog each day to see if something is posted. Can you check into this? BTW it was a great party at the Lucky Anchor. It was an honor to meet all of you. Thanks
“Rue the day,” ha ha ha. Oh, Marty, you will always be remembered for your better days. Also, love the bus stop setting for those poor saps. It is like a cult version of South Park.
I look forward to these Regraded Being strips every week, but I am troubled if I should I laugh or cry? Those poor sea org members… overworked, underfed, and sleep-deprived.
And the crimes against these victims is somehow acceptable in the United States of America.
What would Adams, Jefferson, and Washington think of scientology and its pathetic “leader” Miscavige?
You could make a fantastic sitcom about life in the Sea Org, if you weren’t afraid of being sued and fair gamed into oblivion. As funny as the Big Bang Theory!
As usual, I feel like you caught lightning in a jar. Like you were right there listening to these 2 have their insane conversation filled with assumptions of wrong truths and looking forward to simple pleasures like food that would be an overt for them to get.
The mom and me is so incensed by the privations that these young people endure in the name of duty. They who got in too young to have gotten their critical thinking skills screwed on straight.
RB, I love the banter – and the grubbing over food. From what I remember, perpetually broke staff similarly look forward to events, including the smaller ones sometimes held at members’ homes, as a chance to get some real food that doesn’t come out of a can or a microwave.
Is the reference to “showing everybody that the Scientology Network is helping to eradicate the Psychs” a hint that Scientology is now trying to pivot and position ScnTV as being on the attack, now that it doesn’t seem to be panning out as far as solving Scientology’s dissemination problems and getting the orgs “flooded” with people?
I read in Blown For Good where an overhead skycam operator found a nice bit of femme cleavage to focus on, so every time the skycam returned from a stage shot there was a lingering close-up of cleavage, nice femme bare skin cleavage, and the skycam was lingering, lingering…
The problem was, it was Shelly Miscavige’s cleavage.
Up close.
And personal.
And lingering in the focus of the skycam.
Uh oh, now that cleavage was some forbidden fruit.
The guilty camera operator was given a t-shirt, sandals, and Bermuda shorts, then shipped off to Alaska. North Alaska.
Turns out Scien-stool-oogy has in fact no sense of humor. None.
For the next event, they hired a blind skycam operator. He won an Emmy for Creative Event Camera Shots, Non-Focus Division. Dave keeps that Emmy on his personal wall of trophies, next to all the trophies he has proudly awarded to himself. The blind skycam operator was given a chocolate rabbit, and told it was his golden Emmy, but when it got mushy in the summer heat he got wise to the old fake-Emmy-chocolate-rabbit-to-the-blind-guy trick. In an act of gooey generosity he shared his mushy tidbit with all his room mates.
But if they were to take over a Kool-Aid stand it would very soon go out of business, as no one would pay the $150.00 per glass they would charge, plus being regged when done drinking it.
Holy shit! You mean to tell me that there’s no Big Couch Jumping Being! I’m devastated. I’m lost now. My reality has been crushed. I don’t even know who I am anymore. HELP!
After events, when I was in, I would notice the SO standing around with their arms crossed, glowering at us, the public, while we milled around the refreshment tables.
Now, most of the time, the food was crap. Cheap carbs. Gluey baked ziti or lasagna. Flavorless white rolls. Icerberg lettuce salad with mealy tomatoes, extreme vinaigrette dressing..Soda, coffee. Potato chips, some carrot & celery sticks, onion dip from a box. Sheet cake, cookies for dessert. Occasionally. they’d serve baked ham or chicken but the crowd would literally crowd around these areas and devour the protein like starving animals. I’m a little phobic about my space.
Anyway, when going to an event, my policy was to not be hungry. This way I could just nibble on some stuff and get out of there as fast as possible. This is why, not hungry or caring about eating there, I’d notice the Sea Org people standing around glaring at the public Scientologists while they piled their plates and ate.
So I would think, “Wow. They know how bad this food is. Of course they get much better food – protein, green vegetables, fruit. and they get 3 meals a day. No wonder they never go near the refreshments. They know what crap this food is and they’d never eat it!”
I had no idea they were not ALLOWED to eat the food at the events!
Nor did I have any idea that as Sea Org members they did not get the most nourishing, high protein, green veg diet!
Quite a bad assumption on my part, no? How wrong could I have been?
So, yeah, they were glowering at us, but not in hate – in hunger!
Now, the Sea ORg…I was never a big fan of this group, as most of you know. But honestly, if I had known they were HUNGRY I would have grabbed a couple of plates, piled them high, sauntered over and said, “Hi, how’s it going? Why don’t we sit down and eat and talk?”
Actually, I knew the Class V staffs were frequently very tired and needing food at an event, and the above was my strategy for getting THEM fed.
But I had NO clue that the Sea Org people were in even WORSE shape. That they were EVER actually hungry! If I had I would have finessed getting some food into them too.
Very possible that a good part of that Fixed Dedicated Glare Cold Chrome Steel mock up of theirs that turned me off so much was simply plain, unadulterated hunger.
Dude! It’s all we do! That and trying to steal food from the events! I mean, we have shit for food so why wouldn’t we steal some food! We fucking deserve it. Plus we might get glimpse of Tom Cruise! That would be so bitchin’!
WHO would want to go to Target 2, anyway? Target 1’s not challenging enough for you? 2’s gonna be a real BEAR in comparison, don’cha know…. 😉 Tubby had to take it on SOME sort of gradient; The easier task first, THEN #2. Didn’t he say there were about 75 planets in the Confederacy?
(I could be wrong, but I’m too lazy to open another window to look it up.)
Forget about the “challenges” on Target 2, OK? First, where IS the fucking place? Why not get THAT straight, and then decide whether or not we want to go? And, yes, I AM exhibiting MU phenomena 🙂

Same here

Well, Adams wouldn’t have approved at all, but the other two were okay with slavery.

They thought it was sweet.
Apparently Shelly was subsequently banished for “pulling in” the unwanted attention.
HISSSSSsssssss……teeeeerrical! RB!
Yep, a group like that is going to take over the planet. LOL
They couldn’t take over a Kool-Aid stand.
Well, in fairness, OSD, I think they could handle that.
Aqua, they might take it over but they wouldn’t be able to run it. 🙂
Point taken 🙂
But if they were to take over a Kool-Aid stand it would very soon go out of business, as no one would pay the $150.00 per glass they would charge, plus being regged when done drinking it.
We should consider ourselves fortunate that LRH had gone into religion instead of politics.
L. Turd Hubbard would have failed spectacularly in politics as he cannot handle the press.
Yea. An 8 yr old kid would far better. .lol
Two Sea Org walk into a bar……and scarf up the ‘free lunch’. And don’t order any drinks….and the bartenders tip jar is suddenly empty.
While I am certain that Sea bOrg do think like that, I bet few speak openly. The threat of KRs are ever present. That is how Big Brother rolls….
When I left staff in Honolulu, my KR folder was 2 inches thick. As you say, Big Brother is ALWAYS watching.
I bet it’s at least 4 inches thick now.
Probably more like 12 inches. I had quite a few 2D activities going on.
And Big Brother had a front row seat. Time, place, form, event…
If you had 12 inches, I’m sure your 2D was quite in demand.
It fills the back of a pickup truck now! Ever since OSD showed up at Pasadena the bots have been extra busy.
All I can say is, I was single and ready to mingle, and mingle and mingle.
Fills the back of a pickup truck, huh? Nice pun, but I would hope its his ethics folder you’re referring to.
Right before I left the S.O. I threw away my ethics folder.
Now that was downright perspicacious of you, sir.
ROFL
Image of the entire planet run by the Big Couch Jumping Being.
Thanks for the laugh RB.
Compile to book form please.
Holy shit! You mean to tell me that there’s no Big Couch Jumping Being! I’m devastated. I’m lost now. My reality has been crushed. I don’t even know who I am anymore. HELP!
Too pathetic. Having been on staff this kind of conversation does happen.
Scientology breeds insanity, it doesn’t eradicate it.
They’re experts on insanity. And that’s what keeps them in. Scientology IS insanity.
Jeez, the way these guys go on about food, you’d think they’d just spent 4 years in Buchenwald or something! Oh, wait a minute…
*I* never seen no chicken wings at events, spicy or otherwise, but that was nearly 40 years ago, long before before wings went mainstream.
I wonder if these dudes actually think and talk like this. Depressing to see at times.
After just a short time on rice & beans even if YOUR stats were up, anything resembling real food becomes a hot topic.
After events, when I was in, I would notice the SO standing around with their arms crossed, glowering at us, the public, while we milled around the refreshment tables.
Now, most of the time, the food was crap. Cheap carbs. Gluey baked ziti or lasagna. Flavorless white rolls. Icerberg lettuce salad with mealy tomatoes, extreme vinaigrette dressing..Soda, coffee.

Hilarious.Use spicy dipping sauce tek to make it to Target 2.
WHO would want to go to Target 2, anyway? Target 1’s not challenging enough for you? 2’s gonna be a real BEAR in comparison, don’cha know…. 😉 Tubby had to take it on SOME sort of gradient; The easier task first, THEN #2. Didn’t he say there were about 75 planets in the Confederacy?
(I could be wrong, but I’m too lazy to open another window to look it up.)
Is Target 2 already stable so we can move on to Target 3?
Forget about the “challenges” on Target 2, OK? First, where IS the fucking place? Why not get THAT straight, and then decide whether or not we want to go? And, yes, I AM exhibiting MU phenomena 🙂
