"The Book of the In-Laws"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Tag! You're It!
|
|||
|
2. Things get rough from here on out; show not this chapter to thy friends.
|
|||
|
Speling is flunked; all was not taught. It's a Hawk! It's a Higher
|
|||
|
Plane! It's PA-RA-KEET!
|
|||
|
3. Now first, let's get it straight that, as Gods go, I am one bad-ass dude.
|
|||
|
I will kick their asses.
|
|||
|
4. Choose ye an island! (I recommend the Atolls of Tahiti.)
|
|||
|
5. Fortify it with eight vitamins and iron! (From this shall wonder be
|
|||
|
bred.)
|
|||
|
6. Fill it with all kinds of crap!
|
|||
|
7. I will give you a fire engine.
|
|||
|
8. With it ye shall hose down the people, and none shall stand before you.
|
|||
|
9. Run away! Sneak around behind them! Shoot them in the back! This is the
|
|||
|
law of the Battle of Cowardice: we shall practice in my back yard.
|
|||
|
10. Get the Souvenir Postcard of Cairo itself; set it in thy photo album - the
|
|||
|
one with the dirty pictures of Egyptian children and camels - and it shall
|
|||
|
be your Keepsake for ever. It shall not fade, or at least not much, for
|
|||
|
miraculous four-color printing shall adhere to it eternally. Toss it in
|
|||
|
the bottom of your underwear drawer and forget about the damned thing.
|
|||
|
11. Save this portion for your records! I forbid argument. I forbid
|
|||
|
questions. Hell, I forbid going to the bathroom! I will make it easy for
|
|||
|
you to mess up your house and to destroy your home town. Thou shalt have
|
|||
|
danger and trouble; thy weight is 195 pounds. Bar-B-Que is with thee.
|
|||
|
Worship me with gin and tonic; worship me with scotch & with water! Let
|
|||
|
women threaten me with sharp objects; thou knowest I love it. Let beer
|
|||
|
flow to my glass. Step on anyone who gets in the way; mine is a modest
|
|||
|
proposal!
|
|||
|
12 Mutilate cattle, little and big, in remote areas of Wyoming: after, a
|
|||
|
c***d [DELETED AT THE REQUEST OF THE O.T.O LEGAL FUND].
|
|||
|
13. Ha! I didn't say "Simon Magus says!"
|
|||
|
14. I'll get around to it, so be patient. Yeah? And your wife, too!
|
|||
|
15. Be careful what you wish for - I may give it to you. Hell, I may anyway.
|
|||
|
16. No contract, explicit or implicit, is hereby established between the party
|
|||
|
of the first part, the entity ?Who-Vast! (hereafter EW), and the party of
|
|||
|
the second part, the Master 999 (hereafter M999). EW assumes no liability
|
|||
|
for damages caused by or consequent to use, misuse, abuse, or disuse of
|
|||
|
Liber Call Me AL (hereafter "Nancy") by M999. M999 assumes full
|
|||
|
responsibility for promulgation, commentary, and routine maintenance of
|
|||
|
"Nancy", and for all civil or criminal actions pertaining to or caused by
|
|||
|
"Nancy" or related material. Your state may not permit exclusion of
|
|||
|
prophetic liability for channeled, inspired, or extraterrestrial
|
|||
|
communications. In this case, state law supersedes the Logos of the Aeon.
|
|||
|
17. Don't worry; fear neither tax auditors, nor auto mechanics, nor weird
|
|||
|
fuzzy things you find late at night under your bed, nor anything. Money
|
|||
|
fear not, but rather the lack of it; nor laughter of the folk folly - with
|
|||
|
a religion like this you're in for a lot of it. Nuts are your snack as
|
|||
|
you drink your Lite; and I am the force that bends your arm.
|
|||
|
18. You know all that stuff in Chapter 2 about mugging the weak and the poor?
|
|||
|
Well, do that, but this time wear steel-toed boots.
|
|||
|
19. The postcard they shall call the Souvenir of Cairo; count its name on thy
|
|||
|
fingers, and it shall be unto thee as, um, 5.
|
|||
|
20. But WHY??? Because of the fall of Because, you little brat. Now go play
|
|||
|
on the freeway.
|
|||
|
21. Redecorate thy temple with genuine oil paintings from the GALLERY ART SHOW
|
|||
|
at the Cairo Hilton! Seascapes, clowns, Elvis on velvet, generic farm
|
|||
|
buildings, and waterfalls are only a few of the many ORIGINAL ARTWORKS
|
|||
|
available at ridiculously low prices for a LIMITED TIME! Sofa size,
|
|||
|
portrait size, and our special TEMPLE SIZE paintings are all AVAILABLE
|
|||
|
NOW!
|
|||
|
22. Buy a whole set, to carry thy Decorating Theme. I am the visible Object
|
|||
|
of Worship, if you know what's good for you. It's my Aeon, and I'll scry
|
|||
|
if I want to. The others can just wait their turns; for you and your wife
|
|||
|
are they, and the winners of the Prophecy Clearing House Giveaway. What
|
|||
|
is this? Ask Ed McMahon.
|
|||
|
23. For perfume mix oil and vinegar and Thunderbird: then gasoline and
|
|||
|
styrofoam, and afterward soften and smooth down with rich dark beer.
|
|||
|
24. The best beer is of the Irish, Guiness; then beers of Germany, or imported
|
|||
|
from the Orient; then of Australia; then of Canada or Mexico; then some
|
|||
|
American pisswater, no matter the brand.
|
|||
|
25. This drink; of this make bread and eat 'til you pop. This hath also
|
|||
|
another use; let beer be laid in a shallow dish in the garden, with sticks
|
|||
|
propped up on its sides: it shall become full of snails and other things
|
|||
|
which have been ravaging your garden.
|
|||
|
26. These dispose of, reflecting on the karmic implications of drowning in
|
|||
|
beer.
|
|||
|
27. Also, these make good escargot if you want to catch them live and go to
|
|||
|
all that trouble.
|
|||
|
28. Also, ye shall reek of garlic.
|
|||
|
29. Furthermore, if you keep them in corn meal awhile, they're supposed to
|
|||
|
taste better. You try it first and let me know.
|
|||
|
30. My altar is of open brass work. Burn thereupon, and all the incense will
|
|||
|
fall through the openings and ruin your new carpet.
|
|||
|
31. You will meet a tall dark stranger who will piss on you.
|
|||
|
32. From gold forge extremely soft, yellowish steel!
|
|||
|
33. Be ready to run away or to hide!
|
|||
|
34. But your Townhouse shall endure throughout the centuries: though with dry
|
|||
|
rot and termites it be unsafe and condemned, yet an invisible house there
|
|||
|
lieth in a heap, and shall remain until the zoning laws change; when hell
|
|||
|
is frozen over and the national debt repaid. Another load of ready cash
|
|||
|
shall then be spent on New Age trash; another scandal-film shall bore us,
|
|||
|
titled "The Sex Life of Horus"; another Book shall be dictated to a
|
|||
|
Prophet overrated; another parody shall be prepared, another Breeze to
|
|||
|
pain; and we shall be still on the brink of the Volume II Magickal Link!
|
|||
|
35. The end of the word of Hia-wa-tha, alias Har-po-marx, alias Pa-Ra-Keet.
|
|||
|
36. Then, suddenly, the prophet said:
|
|||
|
37. I think I feel a song coming on -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Why do hawks swoop down from the sky
|
|||
|
Every time she walks by?
|
|||
|
Just like me, they long to be
|
|||
|
Close to Nu.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Why do buds open to the air
|
|||
|
From the Earth, everywhere?
|
|||
|
Just like me, they long to be
|
|||
|
Close to Nu.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the Aeon she appeared Archangels got together
|
|||
|
And they Willed to formulate a dream come true;
|
|||
|
So they scattered starlight for her body
|
|||
|
And eternal trees, the hair of Nu!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
38. Of course you feel light-headed; you have a hot sword stuck in your back.
|
|||
|
Pick Door Number 3, and I will establish your way, or you can trade it all
|
|||
|
for whatever is in this box. Oh, by the way, these are the adorations, so
|
|||
|
pay attention:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Why do snakes coil around my heart
|
|||
|
Every time we're apart?
|
|||
|
Just like me, they long to be
|
|||
|
Close to Nu.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
39. All this and a sensational best-selling book about how you achieved
|
|||
|
communion with Aliens and a copy of this document forever - for in it is
|
|||
|
high acid content paper, and it won't last twenty years as is - and thy
|
|||
|
comment upon this Book of the In-Laws (I suggest "So what?") shall be
|
|||
|
Xeroxed expertly in four colors upon beautiful bond paper stolen from an
|
|||
|
office supply store; and to everyone that thou meetest, were it but to
|
|||
|
throw food and drink on them, it is the Law to give as good as you get.
|
|||
|
Remember, charity begins at AUMGN. Then they shall either shower thee
|
|||
|
with praise and fortune or set their dogs upon thee; care to guess the
|
|||
|
odds? Run away quickly.
|
|||
|
40. But what about the Comment? I don't got to show you no stinking Comment!
|
|||
|
41. Establish a legitimate business organization as a front; all must be done
|
|||
|
using at least two sets of books.
|
|||
|
42. The ordeals thou shalt overlook, being blind drunk. Accept everybody;
|
|||
|
you'll probably spot the traitors before they cause really catastrophic
|
|||
|
damage. I am Pa-Ra-Keet, and I am very good at getting my servant in
|
|||
|
trouble by giving him stupid orders like this. Success would be nice;
|
|||
|
fold not, spindle not, mutilate not, breathe shallowly, sit still! Them
|
|||
|
that seek to arrest thee, to beat thee up, might not even notice thee if
|
|||
|
thou art still and quiet enough. If this doesn't work, swift as a kicked
|
|||
|
puppy run away! Be thou yet more pitiful than he! Perhaps they shall
|
|||
|
have mercy upon thee. Lick their boots, roll over and play dead!
|
|||
|
43. Let the Beige Woman beware! If she lets up for one second I'll kick her
|
|||
|
ass. I will cancel her auto insurance; I will foreclose on her mortgage;
|
|||
|
I will audit her tax return; as a shrinking and despised credit risk shall
|
|||
|
she crawl through loan applications, and die a renter.
|
|||
|
44. But let her do her Will by following my directions to the letter, never
|
|||
|
deviating from the exact path I have chosen for her! Let her act as I
|
|||
|
want her to act, dress the way I like her to dress!
|
|||
|
45. Then shall she be free; then I will be nice to her kids. She shall be
|
|||
|
happy, for I know what she really wants. With my perfect guidance she
|
|||
|
shall be Nuts, and eat Haddock.
|
|||
|
46. I am the Lord of the Top Forties; the Sixties tune in, turn on, and drop
|
|||
|
out; the Eighties worry about my prophecies more than Nostradamus.
|
|||
|
Failure is likely, running away your defense; go on with my speed, and
|
|||
|
hide until they leave!
|
|||
|
47. This book shall be a major motion picture, with subsequent comic book
|
|||
|
releases; but always with the illegible scrawls of my servant; for in the
|
|||
|
chance shape of the doodles in the margins are mysteries with which Freud
|
|||
|
would have a field day. Let him not seek to know these; but seventeen
|
|||
|
come later who shall use them as a wallpaper pattern. Then this ink stain
|
|||
|
is a mess; then this smeared line is a mess also. Buy a new pen, for
|
|||
|
God's sake. And SHAZAM. Blood tests shall prove it to be his kid,
|
|||
|
stunning the medical profession. Let him not push too hard, for only
|
|||
|
thusly could he fall off and possibly injure both himself and the goat.
|
|||
|
48 Now the mystery of the letters is done, and good riddance.
|
|||
|
49. I am in a secret word that you won't want your friends to read. Just tell
|
|||
|
them to stop at verse 48.
|
|||
|
50. Darn them! Darn, darn, darn! GOSH darn!
|
|||
|
51. Okay, here we go: With great big nasty sharp implements I gouge Jesus'
|
|||
|
eyes out. Anybody for a nice cheery burning cross on the front lawn?
|
|||
|
52. I offend another major world religion and make untold millions of
|
|||
|
additional enemies by fucking around with Mohammed's vision.
|
|||
|
53. Hell, let's go for it! I make appropriate rude and offensive comments
|
|||
|
about and desecrate the temples of Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists,
|
|||
|
Confucians, Taoists, Animists, various Native American religions, and -
|
|||
|
just so they won't feel left out - Marxists. There, now everybody in the
|
|||
|
world hates you. Isn't it nice to be noticed?
|
|||
|
54. Bah! Humbug! I crap on your spitulous creeds!
|
|||
|
55. Let's torture Mary to enrage the Catholics; let's criticize Nuns! This is
|
|||
|
getting fun!
|
|||
|
56. All just for the Hell of it!
|
|||
|
57. Just in case we've left anybody out, let's also despise Canadians and
|
|||
|
blondes and stupid people! We must have, what, something like 99.98% of
|
|||
|
the Earth's population covered by now?
|
|||
|
58. But the keen and the neato, the free and the brave, ye are brothers! All
|
|||
|
seven of you!
|
|||
|
59. So just to make sure you don't get bored, fight each other as well as the
|
|||
|
rest of humanity!
|
|||
|
60. There is no law beyond Do it, then wilt.
|
|||
|
61. There is an end to the word of the Head Honcho of the Aeon, but not yet,
|
|||
|
apparently.
|
|||
|
62. To me kiss up by getting clobbered over and over trying to implement all
|
|||
|
these silly instructions. If this is bliss, I think I'll take sorrow.
|
|||
|
63. The fool takes one look at this Book of the In-Laws, makes a rude comment,
|
|||
|
and resolves to wait for the movie.
|
|||
|
64. Let him come through the first ordeal, and it shall be to him as evidence
|
|||
|
submitted to support his lawsuit.
|
|||
|
65. Through the second, material for unknown rock groups to include in
|
|||
|
otherwise inane lyrics.
|
|||
|
66. Through the third, a source of dozens of pithy aphorisms with which to
|
|||
|
amaze one's friends and alarm one's family.
|
|||
|
67. Through the fourth, overly exalted and poorly understood material just
|
|||
|
waiting for a good parody.
|
|||
|
68. Yet to all it shall seem like a good excuse for doing whatever they wanted
|
|||
|
to do anyway.
|
|||
|
69. There is success just ahead, a light at the end of the tunnel; I promise
|
|||
|
the troops will be home by Crowleymas.
|
|||
|
70. I am the chicken-livered Lord of Silence and Hiding; I am afraid of the
|
|||
|
dark.
|
|||
|
71. Hey! You warriors over by the pillars! Your coffee break is almost over!
|
|||
|
72. I am the guy with the wand of Double Power, baby; the wand of the force of
|
|||
|
OY VEY - but my left hand is empty, for I crushed a beer can yesterday,
|
|||
|
and sprained my thumb.
|
|||
|
73. Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom, then behold!
|
|||
|
A very large sheet of paper!
|
|||
|
74. There is a Secret in the name of PASADENA, hidden and foamy, just as the
|
|||
|
sun at midnight seldom gives you a good tan.
|
|||
|
75. How do you keep a Thelemite in suspense?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
THE END --
|
|||
|
Or Is It???
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Aargh. Huh?
|
