Pinks and Bobbies

A Pink (also known as a Pink Boy (this is not the same as LGBT; many SubGenii are LGBT, but the SubGenii had the term first!), a Normal, a MeHume, a Mediocretin, or a Glorp) is someone who is NOT a dues-paying member of the Church of the SubGenius. They are all part of the Conspiracy of Normals, trying to make everyone else Normal just like them, and trying to steal away our Slack. They think the name of "Bob" Dobbs is just Bob Dobbs, without the quotes, and are interested in things like giraffes. They will all get fried by the lasers of the Pleasure Saucers on X-Day.

Pinks can (and do) purchase goods and services form SubGenius Foundation - some may have paid dues and even believe to be saved. This does cause some confusion from time to time, so accubeating is often employed as a form of Sacred Hazing to sort the wheat from the chaf. When asked why we sell to them at all, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs quipped "They may be PINK but their money is GREEN".

Here is a video of a typical Pink and how stupid they act in everyday life: https://youtu.be/Yavx9yxTrsw

Bobbies are basically n00bz to the Church of the SubGenius who are obsessed with "Bob" and won't shut up about him. They don't yet understand the "Short Duration" part about having a Short Duration Personal Savior. Some are pink, and some will snap out of it.

Once a SubGenius has their true Yeti nature revealed to them and learn the glories of Slack, they almost inevitably have a Bobbie phase. Some SubGenii fall into multiple Bobbie phases; all that matters is that they recognize it and move on. Stang often refers to himself as the first and biggest Bobbie. All Church members sign up for the deal "eternal salvation or triple your money back". While the SubGenii are pretty much guaranteed eternal salvation, Bobbies who screw things up so badly they miss the Pleasure Saucers on X-Day will be clutching their tripled investment as they burn.
