Yes, the FIRE/EXIT sign that every building is required to have that's easily seen in order to meet city, state and Federal fire/building codes.
Almost each time I read your pieces of satyre I too think you should publish - so we can read you in our bed at night...when its cary in the dark
Since there is so much people going out on a daily basis, and certainly in expansion,
I'd say the wog exes market is a nice expannnnnnnnnnnnnnding niche to exploit - expecially
for publishing a funny Scn book, providing lot of endorphines deconstruction and decompression
If published with a glossary, that would be fun for pure uncontaminated wogs too...
One of my dear friend was reading your posts, while having her stage 4 cancer, and she was having a good laugh.
Those are the last moments I've seen her having a good laughter.
Thanks Hoaxy for all those epic moments!
Agreed. And most if not all of anything in $cio that is any good can probably be found elsewhere.
Even the shouting at an ashtray tech?

And to the best of my knowledge no one has ever budged that ashtray by use of "OT intention" irregardless of the millions of hours spent on trying to by Scientologists of all "levels" of spiritual attainment.
What's that tell you?
It's a significant stat I would say...
Well, here is what Ill tell you - a true story
I saw an ash tray moved in this exercise ! Yes, with my own eyes, I saw it happen !
Ah, you want details ? Yeah. Yeah. I know. Well, OK.
In the *late -ish 70's when CC was on La Brea in Hollywood. The parking lot was behind the building & thjat is where we did such antics as the yelling at an ash tray.
Also where the yelling TR 1 was done from 50 feet, or so. ( at the same time of course ! )
Anyway, this person was doing the yelling at an ash tray drill & had been it at while with great intensity.
That is when I SAW the ASH TRAY RISE RIGHT UP OFF THAT CHAIR !
Oh YES it did ! That ash tray rose ( like Jesus ! ) almost straight right straight up to about chest height !
Then it just , with only the slightest of hesitations, changed directions & SAILED right over to the back parking lot wall where the impact caused it be shattered.
But, I do not know what happened to him as a result of picking up that ash tray ( org property ) & destroying it by throwing it against that wall.
But, I saw that ash tray fly ! Yes, I DID ! It was COOL !
Maybe it wasn't all that OT, but, it WAS funny to watch.
* Somebody, hopefully, will post the dates of the short time span that CC was on La Brea after 8th St in downtown & before the Manor happened.
I told my room mate back in the 70's that I could change the channels on an old black and white TV I'd picked up used at a TV shop.
Much to his amazement I'd change the channels one by one with my "OT" intention.
What he didn't know, nor did I when I bought it, was that it had originally come equipped with one of the early remotes that wasn't with the TV when I bought it.
What I'd found is that the slightest gingle of my car keys would produce the correct pitch and the channels would change.
I told him the truth within a few minutes of his being entirely blown away because I couldn't keep a straight face.
Now you don't suppose there was a thin monofiliment fishing line attached to the ashtray do you?
Just saying...
Yeah, a tiny universe of interested readers makes these projects non-starters most of the time.However, I kept bumping into the tiny niche market (ex-Scientologists) that would be interested, especially with the arcane terminology and satirical beatdown that largely depend on the reader having once studied and embraced the mythological "tech" and "scriptural" absurdities. That's a fancy way of saying:"ALL THAT EFFORT TO WRITE A BOOK AND THEN I HAVE TO SELF-PUBLISH IT, ONLY TO SELL AN EMBARRASSINGLY SMALL NUMBER--AFTER WHICH THE BOOK ENDS UP ON E-BAY AUCTIONS NEXT TO HUNDREDS OF UNSOLD COPIES OF DMSMH THAT HAVE A "BUY IT NOW PRICE" OF 79 CENTS?" LOL.
Yeah, a tiny universe of interested readers makes these projects non-starters most of the time.
And HH has written some unbelievably astute and penetrating posts about myriad topics: Scientology, Hubbard, religion, philosophy, economics, history, elections, politics, race relations, . . . well, the list goes on and on. There is no end.
A few of his posts took my breath away, they were so illuminating and well spoken. And I was in the communications field most of my life, so I've read a whole heck of a lot of writers over the years.
HH has writ his book and it's here already. It's here! I've been trying to find a way (google) to download all of a members posts, but haven't found any way to do it yet. I have done it manually for a couple three posters in the past, but it took a lot of time.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That said, we need to begin thinking about a project: Preservation of Tech: The Original HelluvaHoax Writings for all of the nearly 20,000 posts. A little fund raising, some intelligent planning, and our repository of humor and wisdom would be protected for eternity.
Since HH has a certain fondness for Chicago (and especially the south side <wink, wink>), I've already located a property we can use. And it'll be free. Found a used safe on ebay. Good to go!

For me, I happen to believe the old boy lifted so many things from hard working bright people that probably what I liked, he stole.
I believe the line " there is not one perfect being amongst us all " happens to be true.
I also like the blurb on " Joy " & I've doubted he wrote it.
But, for my 2 cents, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now & then - that covers all of scn for me - LOL !
But, damn, a quarter of a century later & I still cling to those couple of things.
Hubbard had an extraordinary ability to analyze things, take it into tiny pieces and develop solutions. Of course, there is a lot of "solutions" which were born out of his abberated personality and personal interests. For example the real reason why people would blow, falsely stating that would be because of M/WH when he knew that's caused by ARCX. Also 2D policies are heavily distorted stuff. The list is long.
However, all these policies, the good ones and manipulating stuff were the result of Hubbard tinkering around how to further his goals. I loved to read the early HCOPLs. I had a very early old green volumes set, must have been one of the first editions. They were still cloth bound and rather thin and completely out of date. I used to read in them like others would read a novel. Each of these old HCOPLs were like a journey into the past, examining situations with written solutions.
So I studied the writer, his thinking and intentions behind. I wasn't interested in "following policy" in that instant. After all, these HCOPLs were out of date in majority. Later came the green Volumes with all these yellow BPLs in them. I enjoyed reading them too. The BPLs written by others than LRH tried to emulate his style I found but they were slightly different in style. The analysing factor was missing, this to the point sumarizing concluding solutions. They were less sharp.
Later on, these mixed yellow on green and white on green policies were rewritten and all was attributed to Hubbard. Yet I still could discern Hubbards writing from added stuff not written by him and of course, recognise what is the real intent behind each paper issued. It was like a curse. Seeing things others wouldn't see. Well, not knowing is sometimes much more comfortable.
There may only be two ways to think good of Hubbard. At least for Exes. The one is to be sufficiently brainwashed (CoS) into having no own judgement. The other is let go of ones own individual perspective. What I mean by that is to be able to assume LRHs perspective (as well as any other perspectives). I think that even if you agree on nothing what I say, you may perhaps agree that when one manages to assume Hubbards perspective one can then assume anybodys.
So what did I get out of Hubbard, what did I learn from him? It was that if I look at situations exactly, take them apart and analyse them, I can develop solutions. There is always a solution to any given problem and one can work it out.
That's what the guy did. He had many problems that's for sure. That his solutions became a problem to others, well fair enough, that is sufficiently documented.
