MAN, MANKIND, HUMANITY -- THE ENDANGERED SPECIES IN THE YEAR 3000.

NOTE: Visually, it's just a tad bit derivative of the "John Carter" books, but still a very impressive piece nonetheless.

OVERVIEW: "In 1982, L. Ron Hubbard commissioned artist Frank Frazetta to capture the spirit of "Battlefield Earth" on canvas. Frazetta’s painting, depicting the epic struggle between the human and alien races, now graces the cover of the latest edition of the bestselling science fiction novel."

-- GALAXY PRESS (Publisher of the fiction works of L. Ron Hubbard)

In memoriam -- Frank Frazetta (February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010), another legend lost. HAIL!!

This is completely random but the way J.K. Rowlings views and political associations have effected the perception of her work remind me a lot of how L. Ron Hubbard is now best known for founding the church of scientology, which has completely overshadowed the fact that he was at one time a very prominent pulp fiction writer.

I mean, given it's commercial success I doubt Harry Potter will be overshadowed so easily, but hot damn if Rowling ain't working for it.

I was about to be like, okay, we've got Oppenheimer, when can we get Parsons?

And then I was like, lol wait, the Scientologists would never go for that.

Alas! Let us lament for the art that could have been! Dicks! Rockets! Pipe bombs! Arcane magical ceremonies! Demons! Love triangles! Yachts!

CIA efforts to seize Scientology?

According to L. Ron Hubbard, who may or may not be saying this in order to obscure his own cooperation with the CIA:

The reason for this declaration is the consistent disaster visited upon her "allies" by the United States government and the efforts of that government since 1955, stepped up since 1963, to seize Scientology in the United States rather than forbid or stop it and the role played by the United States in inspiring the Victorian State attacks in Australia. Scientology technology is no longer offered to the United States government in any effort to assist her in political ends. Our participation extends only to our willingness to process U.S. officials as individuals unconnected with their political aims, if as individuals they are not debarred by other existing policies relating to treating the insane or our Ethics system.

A Very Strange Trip by L. Ron Hubbard

It's rare for a book to get me laughing so hard, but this one did. I highly recommend getting the dramatized version of the audiobook.

It has time travel. Comedy. Sci-fi.

I do recommend this book.

Happy reading!

“Ever lick a river? Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible.” -- Euell Gibbons.

Wow. There is nothing better than a gulp of fresh, cold, mountain river. It's almost as pure and clear as an advanced Scientologist.

Watch out for Thetan clusters. You can be clear but still have clinging thetans.

I discovered I have to run Tom Cruise through a blender before he’s drinkable.
