Andy Kaufman Returns 2004 May 23
... sociology ...: "Hey everyone. Greetings from planet earth. Sorry about faking my death. I always knew my biggest supporters would play along until it was the right time for me to return. Yesterday, being the 20th anniversary, was a long enough time to go away. No one has ever gone away that long before. I've been documenting my adventures for the last twenty years in journals and will be posting some of the best stories from here. Mostly though, I've just been practicing transcendental meditation throughout various parts of the world while working odd jobs and keeping a low profile." An almost certain hoax.

Non-escalating Verbal Self-Defense 2003 Dec 15
... sociology . psychology ...: "How can you defend yourself without getting into a fight? First of all, you don't want it to be perfect; you want it to be a little strange. Strange like Harry Potter, or the X-Men, or Bruce Lee. Maybe enigmatic. Maybe not! ... People are afraid they'll say the wrong thing, or they won't say enough. The way out is to say the 'wrong thing!' - that is, to practice little scripts. After a while, you'll loosen up. In all the attacks below, remember the underlying question being asked by the other person is, 'Do you like me?' [Thousands of one-line comebacks follow.]"

Wolf Nation 2003 Sep 20
... sociology . extraterrestrials . micronations ...: "Lykosha was originally created when a pair of writers, postulating on what might result if humans had been lupine instead of simian, created an entire new world. Basing their research on this theory, the Xlel were born. The project just seemed to take on a life of its own, and these writers ended up with a culture, and a language. All of it was based on extreme honour, of warriorship, and the 'way of the wolf,' as one of them wrote once. These created aliens 'adopted' one of them; they became her people (in a way). But she noted, with great sadness, that it was not to be found on Earth. Such a pity... All whimsy aside, this is an experiment to see if any other people on this Earth also 'walked the way of the wolf.' Everywhere, there are certain, although ancient, warrior-based cultures which seem to do this also. religion. The Norse, especially, seem to do this, Given the erosion of ethics, morals, and mores in today's 'dog eat dog' world, perhaps it's time to walk this path again."

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots 2002 Jan 21
... sociology ...: "Founded in 1999, the ASPCR shares similar goals with the ASPCA, except with respect to Robots, not Animals. The ASPCR's mission is three-fold: 1. To foster serious discussion about theethics surrounding treatment and usage of increasingly complex Robotiforms (broadly defined as any Artificial Creature with basic sentient capacities); 2. To raise human awareness of Artificial Creatures, their culture and history; 3. To create a formal organization dedicated to the establishment and preservation of Robot Rights, and the prevention of Cruelty to all Robots! ... At this writing, Robotiforms have not progressed to the point at which it is possible to inflict cruelty as such upon them. My understanding of cruelty is that it is subjective from the point of view of the 'victim'. It is not possible to be cruel to a piece of furniture despite any 'cruel intentions' on the part of the aggressor, as the furniture has no awareness. Likewise, is it not possible (at the present) to be cruel to a Robot."

The Society for the Attainment of Total Abstinence 2001 Dec 01
... sociology ...: "The pre-January 1997 Society involved itself in a wide range of activities to support local community action in the Philadelphia area and thus to advance the goal of making abstinence an important part of everyone's life (see Official Minutes 1995-7 for details). Phase One of the reborn Society (1998-9) witnessed the move from a local to global focus along with a shift in emphasis away from abstinence per se and toward building an impressive Membership base. The new Board had decided that we must become an army of millions before we could become an effective force for world abstinence (see Official Minutes 1998-9 for details). Now that we've enrolled a staggering 3,863,837 Members (as of July 27, 2001), Phase Two is in full swing -- and we're preparing to mobilize for action! You can join our struggle to bring SATA values to the masses. Visit our Membership page to sign up today!"
National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality 2001 Feb 05
... sociology . psychology ...: "Our function is to provide psychological understanding of the cause, treatment and behavior patterns associated with homosexuality, within the boundaries of a civil public dialogue.

Because of the angry tenor of the debate, many researchers have been intimidated into trading the truth for silence."

Elevator Man 2000 Jun 27
... politics . sociology . megalomaniacs ...: "You know me. You've seen me. I'm everywhere. I'm on the train. I'm waiting for the bus. I'm behind you in line at the check out. That's me in the elevator with you. Silent. Withdrawn. No eye contact. No quiet courtesies. My body language warns 'stay away.' I'm another sad case of self alienation from a world so removed from honesty and integrity that I've simply turned away from it. I reject it. I reject the lies from our politicians. I reject corporate greed. I'm constantly pulling away. Further all the time. Mechanical, cold and sterile like synthetic dance music. All the appearances of life but a lack of any hint of humanity or warmth. I blindly grope through the end of this century, desperately searching for spirituality and meaning. Questioning, lost, needy and hopeless. That's Elevator Man."
