It was weird--even for California. After the speaker's party I went a laid down and looked up at the ceiling that ascended upward 13 feet toward the smoggy heavens at a oblique angle. I thought to myself for the 3rd or 4th time "what am I doing here?" and fell into a fitful slumber. Maybe it was the pizza or the couple of shots of tequila, I don't know, but sometime around 4 AM, I had the strangest dream. Kinda hard to put into words, but this Danny Elfman/Boingo creation comes close... lol
INSANITY (1992) [lyric from the original album version]
'I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem? (problem)
Straighten out this problem (problem), straighten out my mind (Mind)
Straighten out ...this crooked tongue...(x3)

My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
My mind has wandered, the man just said so
My mind has wandered I heard it on TV
And the flock has wandered away from me.

(Chorus 1)
All around the world now
Like a big bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, ...say hello...(x3)

Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello insanity

I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally(morally), I'm morally impure(Impure)
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well oiled machine
Christian nation(Nation), assimilate me(me)
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite(elite)
Dragging our society into the street -yeah-
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on TV

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
And His voice was filled with evangelical glee
Sipping down his gin & tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex,(sex) and the wages of sin (Sin)
While he mentally fondles his next of kin and

My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me

(Chorus 2)

Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep.

Christian sons, Christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me, or befriend me

Christian nation(nation), make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white 'cause'
My mind has wandered away from me
And the flock has wandered, away from me

Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle

(Chorus 1 & 2)

I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky

(Chorus 2)

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead.'

It reminds me of the Doom Paul meme for some reason.

maybe Chris it was your brain answering the question "what am I doing here?" Hey as weird as this topic is at least two of the speakers (you and Dolan) have not lost contact with propriety, reality and common sense.
Was it strange to be one of the few in the room to be considered NOT weird?

Oh no, quite the opposite, I felt like I was one of the weird ones in attendance. Most of the attendees seemed to be guppies immersed and swimming around in the same wink & nod consensual reality tank and I was the stranger fish stalking around outside the aquarium...
 
Well at least you got to see how the other side lives. Sort of like blending in with the zombies without worrying you'll be dinner. At least you answered your own question Chris "I was the stranger fish stalking around outside the aquarium"
 
So what kind of Kool-Aid madnesses were a-spoken in California, home of the power-walker, muscle beaches and Hollywood? (actually I love the place, it does contain the single nicest spot I've EVER visited on the planet - Sequoia National Park - hey I should maybe write David Paulides and see if there were any Missing 411 victims there? Anyone read that book yet? Gonna have to buy it based on the DMR and 'Coast shows I heard).

Yeah goggs, I have both of the 411 books, theyre very interesting but disturbing at the same time. I'd really like the paracast to have David Paulides as a guest.

A copy and paste from a coastgab thread

Abraham Lincoln :
I must admit I enjoyed David's
previous appearance on the show and
this most recent one, but whether you
think him credible or completely full of
shit, everyone should check out an
interview he did on Dark Matters Radio
with Don Ecker.
The podcast is available on iTunes. It
was recorded in mid-May, so right
between his last and latest
appearances on C2C.
It's interesting because some key
questions the host asks, when
compared to similar questions asked of
him on Coast, pretty much expose him
as an ass-hat fraud.
Throughout the interview the host, Don
Ecker, who has a refreshingly
authoritative approach to radio, will
contest something David has said as
being "ridiculous" or "impossible" and
rather than answer immediately,
Paulides leaves a good bit of dead air
just hanging there before responding,
as if he's been knocked off his script or
is waiting to be called out as a liar.
Ecker asks, with such clandestine evil
going on within the National Park
Service, don't they have their own
version of Internal Affairs to contend
with these matters? Of course, Paulides
doesn't know.
Ecker also asked him that if the NPS
wasn't giving him any help, his next
step should be to go to his local
Congressman or Senator, as they would
be able to put pressure on the NPS and
help him get the information he was
requesting. Paulides says "Honestly, no
I haven't thought to do that."
NOW, that one is interesting, because
in his latest interview with George
Knapp he goes out of his way to point
out that during his investigations he did
indeed contact his Congressman in
order to put pressure on said officials.
Hmmmmm?
One other thing, he brought up the
case of the child that was abducted by
a "hairy man" where another family
heard a scream and saw the hairy
figure with something on it's back
running beyond the treeline.
Eckers said, although that seemed to be
the direction the story was headed, he
didn't want to get too far into the
supernatural possibilities.
Paulides conforms to this and says one
of the authority figures told him that
the problem was "Wild Men". Families
of wild people who live in the Park
system and routinely kidnap people,
but the Park Service is helpless against
them because if it was proven to be so,
they would be liable for all the
disappearances.
That makes some sense, but it's funny
that he went with that option when it
became apparent the host might not
buy his theory that Bigfoot or Dog Men
are responsible, i.e. whatever he said
to George on C2C.
Despite all this, Don is a gracious host
who, ultimately, doesn't seem to
acknowledge any of this as anything
but factual and asks to have David back
on. I sincerely hope he does, as I want
to call in and confront him.
That's my 2 cents anyway.
Grimace:
Wow, I enjoyed the interviews I heard
with Knapp but this information is
indeed pretty damning stuff. Looking
forward to hearing that interview by
Don Ecker now, haha. That Amazon
review is great, too.

Oh no, like my namesake, I WANT to believe :) appearances aside that whole dialogue was the opinion of one abraham lincoln from a coastgab forum thread...hopefully this link will take

Mysterious Disappearances - your theories
Click to expand...

Yeah well Mr. Lincoln's a hater, lol. But i respect spookymulder and his hesitation to read these books. Goggs, first off, try not to think of Paulides as a bigfoot researcher (which he is by the way [/facepalm]. He doesnt come out and say its Sasquatch, satanic cults, ET's or that its dogmen. He's actually pretty good at remaining neutral, and letting you make up your own mind. I heard him twice on coast, and twice on dreamland. Each show was suprisingly awesome. Hell, i only listen to dreamland for the pure comedy of hearing Whitley explain away every single case of strangeness with his all encompassing alien theories and then somehow linking it back to an experiance he had himself. Like "One time, at bandcamp... Oops, I meant one time in a cave, in the woods at my cabin..." you get the point. But even the dreamland episodes were good and seemed to sound pretty damn consistent with the what he said on the Coast shows. I still have to listen to the Don Ecker show to see if old Abraham knows what the hell hes talking about though. If you check out the thread in the link spooky posted, you'll see much more positive reception than negative. For what its worth, if you want to have a "mostly" unbiased catalogue of bizarre missing persons cases, some sweet maps and extensive witness testimony, then get the books. Im a super skeptical person and am more of a Scully than a Mulder, but i have to admit these books gave me the creeps and i havent been hiking or in a park for a while.
