The "High Weirdness by Mail" concept needs to be perpetuated. Most of the things listed in the book don't exist any more!
What better source for current information than alt.slack? I propose that
if you know of some utterly slackful or even slackless source, POST IT! That way, we can all join in the fun...
I'll start. Here's a good one:
Dean M. Epstein
International Student Complex
Alternative Learning Programs
1023 Hilgard Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90024-0841
(213) 208-7813
These people claim to want to promote "world harmony and understanding." All
I can see that they do is ask for money (sound familiar?). Their approach is novel; at first, they act like they don't want your money, but, if you
show the slightest interest, you will be bombarded with incredibly
strange mailings (tantric healings, glasnost poetry, worms of the world) and, if you use a "foreign" sounding name, they will send you the most hilarious materials in bad foreign languages. I used a fake Japanese name, and had
a friend look at the results. He said it was meaningless nonense-but
what a concept! Their English stuff is pretty good, so I used another
address and wrote in German-the results were wild! I'm not sure what this is all about, but it is funny, and since I think it is at least partially
tax supported, it should be free for the asking.
Anyway, boys and girls, let's find the best sources of free entertainment
and post 'em here! "Bob" would want you to!
--------------------
I recommend "The Skeptical Inquirer" as an excellent and refreshing >alternative to the unsubstantiated claims of the paranormal that we are >frequently exposed to and often asked to accept. Subscriptions are $22.50 per >year (Box 229, Buffalo NY 14215-0229).
Other publications of the same type are:
The British & Irish Skeptic
(Manchester Skeptics
71, Bury & Bolton Road
Radcliffe, Manchester UK M26 0LF)
10 pounds UK. 14 pounds overseas surface
Local, regional, and national organizations "with aims similar to those of SCICOP" also publish their own newsletters. There are currently over 70 such organizations worldwide. A listing can be found in any SKEPTICAL INQUIRER.
--------------------
NSCE REPORTS
National Center for Science Education
P.O. Box 9477
Berkeley, CA 94709-0477
The NSCE is mainly concerned with science education in public schools, and especially with countering the attempts to introduce "creationism" into
public school *science* curricula. There are state organizations, commonly called "Committees of Correspondence," loosly associated with NSCE, and
sharing the same goals. The California Committee publishes BACC SCIENCE.
Four other committees publish regular newsletters. A listing of these newsletters can be found in the July-August NSCE REPORTS.
--------------------
CREATION/EVOLUTION
7 Harwood Drive
P.O. Box 146
Buffalo, NY 14226-0146
This is the premier resource for debunking of creationist claims. It is published by the American Humanist Association, but I detect no Humanist
bias in the material. A subscriber will however, find himself on the
Humanist mail lists.
--------------------
Damn straight! What an excellent idea! Much of "High Weirdness" was culled >from Factsheet Five, a weirdness source. If you want to subscribe:

The Council of Chalcedon:

American Pie' is an unbelievably detailed piece of Biblical
Prophecy! This one song reveals the 'decisive struggle' between
America and the heathen armies gathering on our central american
doorstep. Yes! MORE will be REVEALED!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us not speak of Ferraris and Audis and other pacifiers of the
CON generation. Those adult playthings that are sucked upon to
please the Andrew Jacksonheads in our pockets. Pablumstyles of
the Rich and would-be-famous.
Let us speak instead of the Xists Giant Terrarium, that ozone depleted
chunk of rock we call the Earth. It is now nearly 2000 years since
a guy was nailed to a tree for saying how nice it would be if we would
all give each other some slack.
Things are even weirder now than they were then and this is the first
run-on sentence of the third paragraph and if you don't like it, well
kill me, and I'll just keep right on talking, er, typing, er having
telepathy with this silicon life form because I just had a Margarita
on a Sunday afternoon after decorating the house because the CON says
I should and I don't want to blow my cover just yet because great things
are in store for the following solar year that the CON says is 1991 but
really isn't because they've brainwashed us all and changed the calendar
on us and decided not to tell the really stupid people because they might
panic and then the CON would have a whole pile of excrement on their
collective appendages and the Sunday afternoon Sun coming through my
office window is setting on my would-be-bleeding head and Frosty the
Snowman is on the root window of my Xist Window screen and I'm feeling
a little...
Oh wow. There's a cloud outside my window that looks like a flying
Saucer.
Theeey're Heeeeere.

Just sitting here reading my copy of 0.9 NeXT manuals, and low and
behold , on page 171 "Bob" appears:
[instructions for the format of a data document]:
"For example, to set the value of a field to
J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
enter the value
"J.R. ""Bob"" Dobbs"
not much going on here on a late, weird Friday afternoon, so I thought
Bob had done "it" to us again!!!

Summary: execution of Those Who Prefer Miracle Whip
Sender: Rev. Moses of the Dobbsodoxic Clench,3rd pyroneural orthonoxious synod
(This is about to be a public service message from the Screamin' Church o' de Epilectic Jesus, so, like, listen up)
Yeah....so the Stark Fist had grabbed me on that Special Part, I guess it must have been the Stark Fist of Retrieval tryin' to retrieve some o' my genetic material, and it was pretty close, but I guess it's presence triggered some Conspiracy sensors, and they turned off the hot water in my shower, and the Fist just fled and it took most of my slack with it...Yeah, I guess it's true what they say, that
HE WHO TOUCHES HIMSELF SHALL EAT THE BREAD OF AFFLICTION,
but it's a tastier bread than the homogenized pablum the Conspiracy shoves
down our throats...we swallow-not-spit and think we like it....
man, the Con is everywhere...it's all around us...it's fat ladies in checkered dresses beating their children in the A&P...it's Christ without a penis...it's Presidents of these United Castor-head Pussies of America that look like they can't get erections anymore...it's waves radiating from your TV and telephone and family pets at subliminal levels advocating consumerism and life-without- mind...it's the whorship of millions of Americans of an obese aging unfropped Elvis...it's wave after wave of cattle mutilations sweeping the Midwest with the Xist-controlled media limiting the coverage of them to the Weekly World News, the only non-Con paper around...but I guess you knew all that...yeah, when they let me out they gave me a piece of paper that said my mind is OK,
I got it right here...oh, wait, that's my brother's, he's still inside... anyway, how many people do you know that got a piece of paper says their mind's OK? I bet those ladies down at Job Service who threw me out don't have one, although actually what I have is a loaner mind they had lying around at the Place, they really kept my mind, I didn't like the idea at first but after their drugs and treatments under the Machine I came to see that it was best that my mind be kept there for analysis and experimentation, for the safety
of humanity...Yeah, it's true that I've been bad...slackless...I've taken the Con's false drugs and partaken of it's false sex...but I repent, and I pray:
O "BoB", you know that I am a fucker, a dickwad, shithead, and a pee-monger
But "BoB", as you see me in my...naked glory
Glorify me, that I may glorify YEE, yeah YEE who was were not the prophet spoken of by the prophet Eez-a--pee when he saith: Dokters fer BoB...and yet was somehow unconnected to the later slaying of John Lennon. Yeah, you know that Hypercleats, he ate my brain and vomited my mind back up into my brain pan ...I think there's some of my brain still in there with the diced carrots and creamed corn...but you know, I'm not sure.
