The Boble: Title Pages – Great Society

Right, so, I’m finally getting around to posting The Boble. Remember when I promised that?

Below are the “title pages,” which were last edited in 2002. Like the Sunday Archive articles, I’ve decided not to do any further editing to the Boble. Consequently, you’ll be reading stuff from 97 (the last major edit of the entire Boble) to 02 (when the Old Testicle was last corrected). The first five books of the Old Testicle were written in 1988-1991. So “Boble Wednesdays” will be a bad experience for all of us.

Good luck!

THE MOST HOLY BOBLE

translated from the original languages with critical use of mind-altering devices by:

The High Prophet Werdna
and
The Bobologists and Bobologians
of
The First Church of God BOB Scientist

Translators’ Note:
The Boble is a work intended to bring the word of BOB into daily life and to challenge organized religion. The difficulty you may find when reading this work may be due to a personal problem that we are unable to address. Take two prozac and call us when you wake up. Other translation problems may stem directly from the inability to comprehend the dead language with which portions of this Boble were originally written. We, at the First Church, only know three foreign phrases: ‘Where is the bathroom?’ in Cantonese; ‘Surrender your tank!’ in Russian; and ‘Unidentified plane, you are in a no-fly zone!’ in Arabic. Therefore, when approached with the ancient languages of the Bobological scrolls, we were in a quandary. In order to meet our deadline, we fudged a little bit on the content and created many of the episodes contained herein based on the psychic impressions received by Brenda at The Psychic Connection ™. Then we smacked her around when she threatened to charge us extra. Well, that’s what we said we would do before she chased us away with an iron pipe.

Preface

From “Archaeological Adventures with Doctor Aquarius: Nazi Sympathiser” printed in Girl’s Hopscotch Quarterly

In 1988, a holy artifact was uncovered near the Red Sea by Doctor Herman ‘The Hedgehog’ Aquarius Ph.D. (a roving archaeologist/gynaecologist). Doctor Aquarius was a renowned expert on the occult and was hired by Argentina-based Nazi’s to locate the fabled Lazy Susan that was present during Christ’s alleged ‘Last Supper’. Doctor Aquarius’ search for the Lazy Susan led him into tombs that had been untouched for millennia. It was there that he found evidence that would, ultimately, tear the Christian world apart. He recovered an artifact that, along with subsequent discoveries, shed light on a religion that had led to the creation of Christianity.

Rusty and decayed, the artifact was pieced together by French people claiming to be scientists who pieced things together. It turned out to be a large paperclip, and Doctor Aquarius believed that it was used to hold stone tablets together. Through various incomprehensible dating techniques, the paperclip was traced back to 2000 BC. Doctor Aquarius had discovered one of the three Lost Paperclips of BOB, hidden in a tomb for nearly four thousand years. They had been used to fasten the tablets upon which were inscribed the Seventeen and a Half Commandments – the foundation for the Bobological world.

Scientists swarmed over the site that Doctor Aquarius had found. They worked night and day excavating the tomb and discovered a number of scrolls. Translated, the scrolls told a tale similar to the Christian Bible. We learned of a God whose name was BOB. A God that was both studly and cool. Related documents told us of the rise of Bobism – put down by Christian monks wielding poultry (at least, that’s what it looked like in the pictographs). We learned of the Hebo tribe and Bob Jr. – the son of BOB – as well as the Three Holy Paperclips, the purple-reflective sunglasses, the green boots of Bobette, and hundreds of other fun facts. The scientists also found a bag of amusing party favours that were all quickly broken.

Sadly, Doctor Aquarius was killed in a flashfire while crawling down his chimney. But, in his memory, all copies of the Boble have been dedicated to him: WE DEDICATE THIS TO DR HEDGEHOG AQUARIUS…AND…YEAH

Jewish automobiles have, sadly, destroyed the ‘Kilroy-wuz-here’ drawings on the tomb where these precious documents were discovered. We ask you to boycott anything Jewish with four wheels. Thank you.
