I missed a cruise!

While I was loitering aboard a big boat in California and hanging out with communists, I missed the latest sailing of the Elitist Bastards. It sounds like it was a ferociously snooty affair.

sounds like subgenius subversion to me...

slackers, maybe?

Only a true Elitist Bastard's computer can read that rarified font as something other than Verdana. Alas, I'm afraid yours did not make the cut.
