- Someone wrote me a wonderful letter asking me to tell the tale of the
- anti-Jed. Gather "round, keeds, 'Cos Auntie Maim has a story for you!
-
- It began at the University of Minnesota Campus, where Jed isn't seen
- around much anymore. Maybe he felt he couldn't tame this hotbed of
- Homma-sexuals, pagans, hoodlums, and Wiiiild Rebels. Maybe the Sister Cindy
- Lookalike contest was partly responsible. Or maybe it was the anti-Jed.
- Rumors of the anti-Jed sprang up a few years ago, When a few friends of
- mine started their chapter of the Campus Crusade for Cthuhlu.(Remember, Keeds,
- Cthuhlu Cthaves!) This was the same year a guy stood in front of Coffman Union
- giving $100 dollars to all the students there who were working their way
- through college. He was rumored to be the anti-Jed.
- The anti-Jed was supposed to be the exact opposite of Brother Jed...kind,
- tolerant, friendly,with a sense of humor and a penchant for worshipping street
- meters and the odd Express Teller Machine.(put in your donation to the Money
- God, fill out the Sacrifice forms, and if the Money God is pleased, he'll spit
- out money for you. If the Money God isn't pleased, he will chew up your card,
- and never give it back.) In fact, the anti-Jed was rumored to be several
- people, just because there were reports of him EVERYWHERE. People would follow
- lines of chalk that connected into a huge pentacle with The anti-Jed standing
- in the middle in bikini briefs, sunglasses, and usually holding discussions
- about bisexuality in Congress, the proper sacrifices to the Killer Squirrels
- who hung out near campus, (large, rude and scruffy beings, who insisted on
- snacks. Squirrel muggings were rumored in Northrup Mall, and they would
- saunter into classrooms looking for food. They were The anti-Jed's totem
- animals.) Sometimes Brother Jed would be haranguing a group of students, and
- the most pointed, embarrasing questions would silence him for a couple of
- minutes, or trip him into saying something insanely stupid. We had no doubt it
- was an Anti-Jed in one of his incarnations.For Example:
- The AJ: If all americans worshipped Jesus, would all the dry oil wells
- flow again?
- The Jed-a-roni: Yes, they would.
- AJ: So you're saying that God and Jesus is holding oil, and therefore our
- economy hostage until every man, woman, and child is Born Again?
- Yes, the anti-Jed managed to make Brother Jed admit that God was an
- Eco-terrorist.(Eco for economy and environment.)
- Sometimes Brother Jed would look haggard, gray faced and dull eyed. We
- hypothesized that the Anti-Jed must have been haunting his concience with
- rationality, kindness, and other thoughts that were alien to his nature. Not
- long after, he left, and hasn't been seen for a few years now. Probably for
- easier prey--like the students of MSU in Montana, where I now live. Heh he hee.
- Though I can't be the dark and scruffy specter that the anti-Jed was back
- home at the U of M, I can go on in the spirit he forged in us... This spring,
- I'm going to mobilize somestreet theater, to be ready when Jed or his sidekicks
- appear to win the hearts of the poor kids here. Elvis worship, with a
- translator for Elvis-ese and Brother-Jed-ese. The anti-Jed would have wanted
- it that way.

- Ignorance and hate is fatal,
- La Mort.
