I actually can roll kinda like a cluster lizard, and I don’t have the Divine Order tattoo, I had one like Xev’s belly tattoo this summer (henna).

11: You notice that after-dinner mints have the Divine Order symbol (some of the red swirly ones)

12: You’ve counted the number of segments in the symbol and compared it to the mints.

Oh, I started wondering about if I need to get a life loooong before I started watching Lexx… did I actually admit to that? Hush, evil alter-ego, hush!

Yeah, I’m a list-maker. My psychiatrist told me it might be part of my obsessive-compulsive behavior, but I don’t think so. Like you said, it’s a stress-reliever, whereas my compulsions cause stress. I started a file on WordPro of just lists I was making, but it got too big so I split it up into lists on different subjects, so now I have like seven files. I’ve posted a bunch of my sci-fi lists here, but most I haven’t put on the board and many haven’t been seen by anyone but me. One day I’m going to put all my sci-fi information online in the form of a website, but I keep editing it over and over to make sure it’s perfect, which combined with my computer problems and my lack of knowledge regarding H.T.M.L. and the like have prevented me from putting a single page up after many months of work.

I didn’t know she had a tattoo on her abdomen. I always thought those were scales. Of course, I thought the same of the mark at the base of her spine in P4X (I wasn’t really looking, it just popped out at me), and that turned out to be a love slave tattoo.

That’s…interesting. Only three of mine are true of me (maybe that should be two, since Lyekka has been leaving me alone, lately ). Anyway, I came up with more un-funny signs of too much Lexx viewing:

-You tell people that in a previous life you were the greatest bio-vizier who ever lived (no, not Al Gore, the other dead guy in black who walks and talks was mine).

-You find yourself strangely fascinated by the lizards on the Discovery Channel (ooh, look at that tongue!).

-You have ever referred to an authority figure as “Divine Shadow” (what seems to be the problem, Divine Sh…officer).

-You are afraid your girlfriend might be a cannibal (actually, I don’t have this problem…).

-You are certain the lyrics are either “vaiyo a oh” or “yo-a-o,” and are willing to defend your side (…and it’s “jerhume Brunnen-G,” not “‘shroom”).

-You discover you are turned on by young girls screaming…wait, that’s signs you’re watching too much Doctor Who.

-You think Kai is cool (dig that scorpion hook).

-You think Stan is cool (4-ever!).

-You have ever brought yourself to the verge of tears thinking about poor 790’s romantic troubles (*sniff* it’s so unfair…).

-You discover more and more parallels between your own life and the show (let’s see, I’m Kai in mentality, Stan when it comes to social skills, 790…).

Xev actually DOES have a tattoo around her navel, it’s not ‘scales’. I have a huge poster of it, and can see it quite clearly, it’s an Indian design (not American Indian)and she also has one on her lower back. It’s not necessarily a ‘love slave’ tattoo, I’ve seen lots of girls down here with those kinds of tattoos on their backs, in the summer, everyone here wears lots of belly shirts, so it’s not uncommon to see them. The tattoo showed up in Season 3, along with the new hair.

The segments on the Divine Shadow emblem have seven segments, I ( unfortunately) do have a tattoo of it on my ankle…(maya hangs head in shame).

Giving up Friday night debauchery is pretty much a no-brainer for me, since the expression “been there, done that” was a mantra for me for many years…hehehe.I feel most of the activity in this town is now perpetrated by amateurs, and have no desire to put myself in harms’s way for the sake of a couple of beers at the Galaxy Club.
I now spend more time in other less-strenuous
endeavors, and no urging from my friends during Lexx season, can pry me from the tv on Friday nights, therefore my social life is now relegated to Sunday afternoons.

But there are compensations…squealing in horror as MM plants a wet one on Brian during Vlad, or Brian pretending to be a “fluffer”, make it well worth while. It’s definitely something you’ll never see on Farscape..
(anyone wanting to know what a ‘fluffer’ is, contact me by email, and I’ll tell you)

Yeah, I believe you. I remember seing some odd texture around her navel (not that I was looking), and scales just seemed logical to me, since she’s about a sixth reptilian. I meant “love slave tattoo” in the case of Zev (I wasn’t calling you a love slave ), since that’s the only reason I can think of that she’d have a tattoo (where would she even get one? ).

My poster of her is from the second season, before her midriff was exposed, so it doesn’t show her omphalic tattoo.

No, thank you. I’d rather just see the episode and learn for myself.

Wow! Did I make that many posts already? I’m interested in those ‘lives’. Do they have a ‘buy a life’ website?

It wasn’t a true poster that I bought or anything. It was just something I designed on my computer using a neat picture I found online. Anyway, I took it down months ago because my mother didn’t approve of me having anything that sexual hanging on my wall.

You forgot the sacred quotation marks!!! How are people going to tell the difference between “Bob” and any other Bob without the sacred quotation marks!

Anyway, “Bob” is also the only Epopt that will deliver a money-back guarantee:

Let’s see any other denomination deliver that kind of service! Okay, well, maybe the snake handlers, but they’re an exception.

What is that mark on Kai’s cheek supposed to be, anyway? A birthmark? A genetic caste mark? A tattoo? Self-inflicted ritual scarring? Do all Brunnen-G have it? All Brunnen-G males? All Brunnen-G in the warrior caste? All newborns? Just Kai? I can’t remember this ever being addressed on the show.

A map to the homeworld of the Brunnin-G in the Light universe.

[EDIT NOTE: Oops, sorry. I ment to say: “A map to the homeworld of the Brunnin-G in the DARK UNIVERSE.” My bad.]

[ 15-11-2001: Message edited by: Flamegrape ]

It would definitely have to be a tattoo.

I don’t see how they could manage a birthmark( and such a defined one at that) only on the males, especially since it would be so much simpler just to place on the skin, and not have to genetically alter them to have this mark. Alot of unnecessary work there, just for that affectation.

quote:

---

And the Golleans had a genetically engineered caste mark that appeared on the skin of all pure-(in)bred Golleans. Maybe the ancient biotechnicians who engineered the Brunnen-G used the same technique. Heck, maybe they were originally different clans on the same planet (Golleans and Brunnen-Golleans). The overseers needed different marks to tell them apart. There’s an interesting thought, a genetic relation between Golleans and Brunnen-G.

Kai in White Trash (thinking): Oh, Gawd, I’d hoped the Fore Shadow meant no more family reunions. I hate those hick relatives from the Iow-a-Oh continent. They always have to come and humiliate me in front of my cool friends…”Hi, Pa! Long time no see.” (under his breath): “If you mention a word about that incident with me and cousin Sue in the grain shed, I’ll kill you in the name of every Shadow in the book.”

EEEEK!!!! What a thought…but a damn funny one!

So now we know what the G stands for!

Ahhh, the eternal question: Who is J.R. “Bob” Dobbs? Some call him “the High Priest of Sales.” Some call him a savior. Some call him a saint. Others call him one of the prime corrupters of this world. What little is known about “Bob” is this: Born to humble parents (though perhaps fathered by an interdimensional being passing himself off as a milkman) sometime in the early decades of the 20th century, “Bob” started out life in the normal way. Until, that is, at the age of 5, he was abducted by a UFO. Soon thereafter, he began showing signs of extreme psychic ability. By grade school, he had become a multi-millionaire and grew up to become known as “the man who could sell anything.” During this time, he also posed anonymously for a number of magazine and print ads, and appeared in several low-budget science fiction films. Then, in the 1950s, while working on a television set of his own design (he actually was attempting to create what we now know as “cable”…he claims that he was only trying to see naked ladies on the tube), he received the first of several revelations from Alien Space God JHVH-1, and these revelations would form the basis of “The Prescriptures” in which it is revealed that there are actually 2 distinct species of life on this earth. Normal humans, known as “pinks,” and the mighty SubGenius race, who are descended from the Yeti. In a flash, all was revealed to “Bob.” The ability he had to make money, without even trying, was a result of what is known as “slack.” Slack is an intangible element that every SubGenius is born with (a lifetime supply, actually), but the “pinks” have conspired to steal it away. Realizing that he had tainted himself by immersing in the world of the Pink, he first tried saving himself by becoming a tent-revival preacher, but later he retreated to the Himalayan mountains, where he communed with his Yeti bretheren, and had his “third nostril” opened (an arcane operation that causes immediate enlightenment and the ability to tell the difference between Pink and Sub). After a period of introspection, sex, and heavy consumption of ‘frop (the drug-like fungus that grows from the stool of Yeti), he came down from the mountains and founded the mighty CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS. For years the church operated in silence until the late 1970’s, when he hired two nobodies, Reverend Ivan Stang and Doktor Philo Drummond, to head up the publicity arm of the Church, The SubGenius Foundation, Inc. With his wife, the voluptuous (and irresistable…rrrowrr…) Connie Dobbs, he retreated into the background, while his face was soon seen everywhere: spraypainted on underpasses, buildings, sidewalks, prisons and hospitals. In 1982, “Bob” was assassinated during a SubGenius “Devival” in San Francisco, CA, by a crazed follower going by the name of “Puzzling Evidence.” He was summarily booted out of Heaven, and won his way out of Hell by cheating at a game of poker with Satan. He was then re-erected, and reclaimed his throne in the SubGenius Foundation headquarters in Dallas, TX.

Either that, or he’s a piece of clip art that Philo found in an old phone book.

One or the other.

Please, for more information, take a few months and delve deep within the labyrinth that is:

The Church of the SubGenius

–Aleck (member of two organizations whose initials are COS)

Yes, and they were wonderful…having partaken of many tent revivals here in town, and made to ‘testify’ to my overwhelming abundance of ‘slack’, I can heartily recommend it..

Everything that Aleck said about J.R. “Bob” Dobbs is correct. But he forgot to mention the part about “X Day” when “Bob” cuts a deal with aliens and secures passage for Subgenii on the UFOs to spend eternity with the Sex Goddesses. It’s better than any other UFO cult or double your money back. A great guy, that geezer!

Every week the Church of the Subgenius broadcasts a radio show, The Subgenius Hour of Slack. You can go to their webpage and download the latest broadcast in MP3 format. (Beware. The MP3s are about 50MB in size– you might try Real Audio format instead.) The inhalation of frop is recommended before listening.
Praise “Bob”!
