Why don't they just call it "Hurricane Crazy-Ass Bitch"?
I think naming a hurricane "Dennis" is just tempting fate.
We have a Buffista cat named Harvey.

Holy shit! Goodnight Moon appears to work.
A few years ago a colleague and I developed a treatment program for families who were having trouble getting their preschoolers to go to sleep at night. Goodnight Moon was part of the treatment. Another part was an individualized computer–generated book in which the child was the protagonist and the story followed the nightly sleep routine that the parents and the child were supposed to follow.
We worked with low income families, and in many cases these were the first two books that the child had ever owned. Kind of depressing. On the other hand, I suppose that these kids could brag that half the books in their home libraries were written about them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They're in GCT too. Along with the Jews for Jesus (who are actually kind of adorable in their "Jesus Made Me Kosher" t-shirts).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My favorite is when the anti-cultists stand like 10 feet away from the Jews for Jesus, passing out their own literature.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

re: the E-Machine
He used a barnyard epithet to describe the device’s scientific validity.
Heh.

The official story:
Electro-psychometer, or E-Meter. The E-Meter measures the mental state or change of state of a person and thus is of enormous benefit to the auditor in helping the preclear locate areas to be handled. The reactive mind’s hidden nature requires utilization of a device capable of registering its effects – a function the E-Meter does accurately.
So these people really are true-blue kooks. To think that we spent a whole day at our conference trying to work out how to measure mental processes with functional MRI, when all we reallly had to do was go across the hall and get an E-Meter.

I can't even.
Funny, the Scientologists keep a much lower profile here in Toronto than they used to, since they lost a number of high-publicity legal proceedings here, including one where they sued a senior prosecutor for malicious prosecution and lost so badly that the prosecutor was awarded damages in the millions. They even placed a spy in his offices (a temp secretary) and that person was caught trying to steal documents.
I had a pretty low opinion of them even before the cheesy video game space clams stuff got around.
