Mickee Faust Manifesto
Whereas all struggle is the struggle between classes—that of the rodent
underclass known as the Faustkateers and that of the ruling rat elite, i.e.
the Castro-like cigar chomper known as Mickee Faust.
Whereas the word Faustkateer literally means “ ratslave” coming
from the Latin word "ra" meaning "Rodent King” and the
Russian word "tslave" meaning "confused devotees of."
Whereas Faustkateers are distinct beings despite their reputation as mindless
pack vermin, becoming one in purpose and effort only when they unite in bringing
to pass the grand, divine plan for salvation and exaltation as ordained by
the consciousness of the Great and Terrible Faust also known as Mickee.
Whereas the abode of the Great and Terrible Faust is the Mickee Faust Clubhouse
(also known at times as Faustlandia, at other times as New Amsterdam).
Whereas the form of governance of the Mickee Faust Club is that of a democracy
with a dollop of tyranny and a huge side of voluntary rodentured servitude.
Whereas all Fauskateers have willfully entered into this voluntary rodentured
servitude.
Whereas the only services the Great and Terrible Faust requires of said Faustkateers
are offerings of cheese, random acts of civil disobedience and World Media
Domination.
Whereas, although none of these services (except for maybe the cheese offerings)
have been realized, many Faustkateers have fallen to the wayside in the pursuit
of said services.
Whereas there are plenty more where they came from (Faustkateers, that is,
not services)
Whereas much of which has been said and where-ased is contradictory and somewhat
perplexing.
Whereas we have just re-read the Communist Manifesto (in the vain pursuit
of ideas to co-opt) and don’t quite understand what all the fuss was
about.
Henceforth and hitherto we declare ourselves victorious in our pursuit of not
having a fucking mission statement.
The prissy, prig-like element of Faust
would like to issue a disclaimer to the Mickee Faust Manifesto.
THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO LIKE MISSION STATEMENTS. Mission statements,
unlike Manifestos, can be put on grant applications and job resumes. People
take your
accomplishments seriously when you have a Mission Statement as opposed
to a Manifesto.
Therefore, the prissy, prig-like element of Faust has written and approved
with much official looking head nodding and hand waving and sealing with
important looking stamps the following statement of mission or Mission
Statement:
The mission of the Mickee Faust Club is to give the people of Tallahassee, Florida an alternative venue and voice. Professionals and novices work together to create theater, radio and video of their own making. Together they promote the presence of that original, alternative, creative voice locally, nationally and internationally.
