Sorry about AIDS, accident with chem kit. Stop. Will commit to curing disease upon return. Stop. In response to question about authenticity of the Boble. Stop. Have put much thought to it. Stop.

Stop.<\/p>\n<p>Signed: BOB.<\/p>\n<p>Rambling By Werdna, Christmas, 1993:<\/p>\n<p>I could really zone out doing this.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sitting here listening to The Beatles&#8230; Sgt. Peppers.\u00a0 Makes me think of growing up, you know.\u00a0 I used to ride my bike down to the Avatar&#8217;s house.\u00a0 In the heyday of the First Church of God BOB Scientist we had quite a little group going.\u00a0 The Avatar, blasting his music across the park; myself, acting the fool and wanting to play a game of war; Nodge, being his artistic self and listening to his odd music; Nasoj, who just stood there most of the time; and Pope Flip, the leader of the Church.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t say that we did all that much, but we sure had fun.<\/p>\n<p>And now, so many years later, we&#8217;re all off in colleges and out of touch.\u00a0 I do miss them all, and I do miss those days.\u00a0 But the church has been dis\u00adsolved (to a degree, we never really agreed on it &#8211; we just let it fade away), and college work drives us into an oblivion of responsibility and pain.\u00a0 Purple Publications now inhab\u00adits my free time, and it seems that the Werdna of yesteryear has faded away.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just Nacho Sasha now, the publish\u00ading-minded lone wolf.<\/p>\n<p>The Boble&#8230;\u00a0 I had the idea in church; I wrote most of the Old Testicle on a bus and during a school assem\u00adbly the next day.\u00a0 Then I just added, and added, and added till I had a monster on my hands.<\/p>\n<p>I planned to stop there.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until 1992, five years later, when the New Tes\u00adticle finally came around.<\/p>\n<p>Why the wait for the New Testicle?\u00a0 Well, at first, I was a little scared of it.\u00a0 The Old Testament was easy &#8211; lunge, stab, curse, adultery.\u00a0 No problem.\u00a0 How to make fun of the New?<\/p>\n<p>But the Boble readers in\u00adsisted on a New Testicle.\u00a0 Not\u00adhing was complete without Bob Jr; we had to have the whole thing.\u00a0 I eventually agreed.<\/p>\n<p>In these six years of God BOB, much has happened.\u00a0 It&#8217;s rather frightening, actual\u00adly.\u00a0 So many folks have purchased a copy of the Boble; so many people have gone out and gotten purple-reflec\u00adtive sunglasses (myself includ\u00aded), and so many surprises have come about.<\/p>\n<p>It has been fun, and it will be fun.\u00a0 The Boble is slo\u00adwly growing, and at the end of the New Testicle is our sell-out page.\u00a0 The Capitalist reg\u00adime of Purple Publications has a number of offers which will, if anything, provide endless entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Bibliography:<\/p>\n<p>The Boble was first trans\u00adlated into the English language in 1988.\u00a0 Most past editions of The Boble are unavailable, but here is a listing anyway:<\/p>\n<p>The Original Manuscripts:\u00a0 The first translations of The Bob\u00adle.\u00a0 These date back to 1988.<\/p>\n<p>The Family Fun Boble:\u00a0 The Boble was censored (by cruel and bitter officials at my high school) in 1989, and the result was The Family Fun Boble.\u00a0 There are three copies currently circulating.\u00a0 Somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The Boble!\u00a0 In Anarchistic Red:\u00a0 Printed in 1990.\u00a0 This was the original document upon comple\u00adtion.<\/p>\n<p>The Boble!\u00a0 In Intellectual Black:\u00a0 Also printed in 1990, this was a book loaned out for public use.\u00a0 It was lost during the schism experienced by the rise and rapid demise of the First Reform Church.<\/p>\n<p>The Most Holy Boble:\u00a0 The First Edition was released in 1991 via Purple Publications.<\/p>\n<p>The Most Holy Boble, 1993:\u00a0 The Second Edition Boble was re\u00adleased by Purple Publications in 1993.<\/p>\n<p>The Most Holy Boble, revised:\u00a0 The 1993 Third Edition Boble, re-edited and including The New Testicle.<\/p>\n<p>The Puritanical Boble:\u00a0 The Boble rewritten for the English culture.\u00a0 This Boble began in 1991, but was never completed.\u00a0 The Puritanical Boble&#8217;s intro\u00adduction exists, and has been incorporated in the &#8220;Codex BOB.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Testicle was completed in February 1993, after which I wrapped it up with the rest of The Boble and put out a new edition.\u00a0 The epilogue below is from the 1993 edition (whereas before, the Boble ended with &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/?p=522\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The New Testicle: 1993 Epilogue<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[115,116],"class_list":["post-522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boblehub-20","tag-boble","tag-new-testicle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=522"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":750,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522\/revisions\/750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
