        Nah, Xavier sounds more like some kind of renegade angel. And maybe he has a snake for a hand or something like that.

        Idk I worship the Saint of Sales himself J. R. “Bob” Dobbs, personally.

          I saw a re-run of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse the other day and I noticed R. “Bob” Dobbs on his cork board in the intro! I re-enacted the “Leo pointing at the TV” meme!

            Yup! Idk if we know who put it there, but either Paul Reubens or someone on his staff was one of us! Paul was apparently aware of us but idk if he was actually a dues paying member.

            We also have David Byrne, two of Devo (Mark for sure and one of the Casales, I can’t remember which though), the voice of Dr. Kleiner from Half Life is a high ranking member (Dr. Hal), Burroughs joined (after he left scientology), there’s many more too but I’m drawing a blank right now, but we’ve got some titans of weird art for sure (perhaps unsurprisingly, for a satirical art collective cult from the 70s.)

      If I remember from my Latin lessons, claudit means something like “closes”. Like with a door

        The Latin name Claudius, which is where the French name Claude comes from, originally was an adjective meaning ‘limping, lame’. I guess it might be related to claudo ‘to close’ as well, but the usage of the name was primarily inspired by the carrier (including the Roman emperor) having a limp.
