    Of course, you can [i]never[/i] watch too much Lexx.

    1: You wish we could send Kai to kill bin Ladin

    2: You’ve tried to scream like a cluster lizard

    3: You find yourself using 790’s insults to describe your boss/a politician/etc

    4: You have a definite opinion on who made the better Xev/Zev and can back up your case.

    5: You redecorate your room to look like Xev’s

    6: You nickname your computer 790

    7: You buy a hat ’cause it resembles Stan’s/a dress ’cause it resembles Xev’s/you cut your hair to look more like Xev’s

    8: You sing the Stanley song/the Cluster Lizard song in the shower

    9: You’ve wondered why, if Zev is part cluster lizard, she didn’t want to eat the divine predecessor’s brain and you can name the episode this happened in (Eating Pattern)

    10: You have a cat named Gigeroff/Squish/ a pet named in connection with Lexx

    Okay, this is eerie. I wrote a list of signs you watch too much [i]Lexx[/i] today and had just now come to the Lexx General forum to post it when I saw your post. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] My “things I have learned from [i]Lexx[/i]” post yesterday was a deliberate shadowing of yours, but this is completely coincidental. So here is my semi-funny, anti-climactic sym-post:

    [b]You might be watching too much Lexx if…[/b]

    10. You are afraid of ballerinas.

    9. You refer to your computer as “robot head.”

    8. You have dreams about Lyekka.

    7. You check the sky every evening to make sure Venus is still there.

    6. You have “The Wheel” memorized.

    5. You have ever attempted to roll like a Cluster lizard.

    4. You are reading this.

    3. You are writing this.

    2. You have the Seal of the Divine Order tattooed somewhere on your body.

    1. You wear your hair like Kai.

    I think we both like list-making. I wrote this up to calm down after hearing the news and figured I’d [strike]inflict[/strike] share it with y’all.

    BTW, all of the items on my list are true for me [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

    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.

    people don’t bother asking you to do stuff on friday nights, because they know you have to be home in time for lexx

    when lexx [b]isn’t[/b] on, you spend your friday night in a chat room with other lexxians [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    you start wondering if you need a life! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    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!

    [and to think, I’m supposed to be working on a lit paper right now… you people are a bad influence on me [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]]

    tut tut, elfkin; i had noticed before that your posts coincide with finals and such [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] …much as my dorm room was always cleanest during finals [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]…so you obviously have a life, except for when school interferes with it and you are stuck in your room looking to escape from life [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    the secret to papers is to incorporate your interests into them; i always found a way to compare some grey haired philosopher with some figure from the occult or science fiction…this was very hard to do with my engineering courses however [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    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 [b]cause[/b] 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 [b]had[/b] 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 [i]P4X[/i] (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 [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ). Anyway, I came up with more un-funny signs of too much [i]Lexx[/i] viewing:

    -You tell people that in a previous life you were the greatest bio-vizier who ever lived (no, not Al Gore, the [i]other[/i] 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 “[i]jerhume[/i] Brunnen-G,” not “‘shroom”).

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

    -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…).

    There are seven segments in the iris HDS symbol.

    Not that I was comparing it to the segments in mints. Nuh uh.

    I do have a life. Really. I do.

    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)

    I got that poster in the mail yesterday. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I’m so happy! [Jumps around like flower-girl from [i]Garden[/i].] I’m going to get a nice frame for it, too. [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

    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 [i]you[/i] a love slave [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ), since that’s the only reason I can think of that she’d have a tattoo (where would she even get one? [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] ).

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

    Squishy is interested in getting a life, where do you get them from and how much do they cost???, and can you eat them if you get bored with them???
    What get’s me is that we can’t be called sad because we watch a programme that has never been tagged as being sad (Ok it doesn’t help having the forum on the sadboard!!!), but none of you strike me as the classical nerdy Star Trek fan, you all seem like a very intelligent and intellectual bunch, ok, there’s the odd exception, but on the whole I can’t picture anyone on this board as being nerdy or removed from normal life (polite way of saying not being sad!!!).

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

    mmmmmm, let’s see, I think I have had too much Lexx…..yesterday at the butcher shop I felt strangely attracted to the cow brains.. As I stared gap-mouthed at them I caught the reflection in the counter glass of a guy dressed in black with an afro and I started screaming, “The Prophesy is upon us!!!” (sorry for the spelling) It’s late and I’m stupid..

    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.

    oh yeah, the makeup lady (kim ross) had a continuity book with makeup/tattoos in it, but she had told us that xenia comes in and paints her own on each morning…she had created a little template for the kai tat so the makeup people in asia could keep it in the same place

    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.

    In the second movie, SuperNova, Kai explains that the “mark” is a symbol of his people’s migration from their original home to Brunnis2 in the Light Universe. All Brunnen males had it in Brigadoom.

    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.]

    Yeah, but [i]Super Nova[/i] didn’t explain whether he was born with it, or if it was applied to him early in his life. Some people call it a birthmark, some call it a tattoo. I was wondering if McManus or the Beans had anything to say about it.

    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. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    I wouldn’t say it was impossible to genetically engineer it to appear in the phenotype of males. It could be a secondary sexual characteristic. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Heck, maybe that’s what Brunnen-G women look for in a mate (“Whoa! Check out the mark on thet guy’s cheek…”). Of course, Zev never complimented Kai’s nice manly mark and that’s why he acts cold to her. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] The females may have a similar mark somewhere else on their bodies (different cheek?).

    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.

    [b]Kai in [i]White Trash[/i][/b] (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.”

    Oh, caffeine and speculation are a dangerous mix. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    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.

    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, [url=http://www.ibiblio.org/subgenius/ts/hos.html]The Subgenius Hour of Slack[/url]. 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.

    I didn’t forget it, I just didn’t want to go into a *huge* amount of detail (believe me, folks, you got the *really short* version of “Bob”‘s story). I mean, I could have talked about the Xists, the Dobbstown retreat, NHGH, or the unspeakable Janor Device. There are so many things to talk about when it comes to that man “Bob.”

    It’s not *just* a Texas thing, BTW. While that’s where the headquarters have been for years, there are hotbeds of SubG activity in various pockets of the globe. Switzerland was a pretty active spot at one point (may still be, I haven’t kept up on the internat’l scene as well as I should), as was London (ditto). In the US, San Francisco has long been a center of activity, Cleveland has been a hugely important spot, Boston gets a lot of slack, the X-Day drills are held every year in upstate NY, and it goes on and on.
