After being a fan of Rev. Ivan Stang and his Church of the SubGenius for well over 25 years, I finally decided to become a member last week. I ordered a T-shirt and sent off for the ordainment kit, so I am now an officially ordained minister in the church and a devoted follower of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. But now I'm supposed to send in the postcard with my Church Name, so I need to come up with something good... I was going to use Dr. Gonzo or Rev. Louie Louie (they have to be either "Dr." or "Rev." something), but I found out those are already taken. Rev. Kopper just sounds a little boring to me and I'd like to come up with something fresh and new, and it'd be even better if it was similar to a lot of the really cool/funny punk rock pseudonyms that have been used. Here's my short list of choices:
Rev. Rico Hot Sauce
Dr. Yuk
Dr. Ripxoid (pronounced rip-zoid)
Rev. Max Wedge
Rev. Capt. Nonsensical
Dr./Rev. Lux Exterior
Rev. Duncan Disorderly
Dr. Frank N. Furter
Rev. Riff Raff
(yeah, I used to be a big Rocky Horror freak!)
Any other ideas?
Also, do we have any other SubGenius ordained ministers here? It'd be great to find out if any of the rest of you have SLACK and are on board and if you've ever been to an X-Day party and participate in any of their online groups/forums.
Praise "Bob"!

Dr. Kopper Feel

Unless of course you can use both: Dr. Rev.

Permalink Reply by kopper on July 11, 2012 at 7:54am Changed my mind and emailed Stang and told him to change it on my card to Dr. Kopper Feelgood. Couldn't shake that one! Once I ran it through my head a few times it just stuck. Thanks again, guys! You rule.

I'm touched....you know , in a masculine , noncommital sort of way.
