State of the Cult speech, July 2025 (transcript)

So, uh, hi. Um.

clears throat

Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, non-binary, and a-gender friends. I'm pleased to inform you that we have made the following descisions.

Theology Update 1: #Cats are ("little g") gods.

Those who are able to care for cats are strongly encouraged to do so. If you are allergic to cats, and have some money to spare, you can donate to a local no-kill cat shelter or 'Spray-and-Neuter Commuter' or whatnot.

A future goal, when we have ALL THE MONEY, is to open a cat shelter adjacent to our churchy building. With planters full of organic catnip around the catio.

Theology Update 2: #Puppets are important somehow.

This one is in progress. Maybe high-level members will have an official spokes-puppet? I'm totally using the D&D 5e homebrew "Muppetborn" race I found online as inspiration, and the Muppet Wiki category on religion as Sacred Guidance.

Oh! That reminds me!

Here's what I'm picturing for a sanctuary - a bunch of cozy little gaming areas in a cool building. With a library. And a big ol' kitchen & dining space. The rest of the building should be boring stuff like admin. With an adjoining greenhouse.

There will also be a 21+ greenhouse nearby. We need guards. Maybe someone who is allergic to cats can care for guard doggos?

Um ... let's see ... what else was I ...?

OH! Fundraising!

When you #EatTheRich, remember to grab a bunch of cash!

#CultOfRamenCatholicism

Looking for ideas on "Path of the Hand" for those who wish to become "High Puppeteers" (or whatever title we come up with).

I mean, I don't have the energy to go full L. Ron Hubbard.

Marker drawing parodying "The Scream" by Edvard Munch, replacing the famous screaming figure of the original with Camilla the Muppet chicken. She stands holding her wings to her face and screaming while a shadowy figure of Gonzo approaches from the distance, and the scene is the swirling seaside and tumultuous swirling sky of the original. The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-18-25. The red, blue, turquoise, brown, yellow, orange, and black markers used to draw the image rest on the table surrounding the card.

Marker drawing of a silhouette interpretation of the scene in "The Muppet Christmas Carol" in which Gonzo inadvertently lights Rizzo the Rat's tail on fire. The silhouette Gonzo is made of the words "light the lamp" with the letters bent into the shape of Gonzo, and Rizzo is made of the letters "not the rat." Between them is a flame connecting Gonzo's lamp-lighting stick and Rizzo's tail. The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-13-25. The orange, blue, brown, and yellow markers used to draw the image rest on the table on either side of the card.

Marker drawing on an artist trading card of Peter Davison dressed as his Fifth Doctor from "Doctor Who," gleefully saying "I was just in Pigs In Space!" to Scooter of "The Muppet Show." The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-8-25. The pink, yellow, green, red, orange, and black Sharpie markers used to draw the image rest on the table above the card.

Marker drawing of "Sesame Street" character Captain Vegetable. He is a lavender rabbit Muppet with big rabbit-like ears, whiskers, and front teeth, a head of wild orange hair, and a green superhero costume with a carrot insignia on his chest and a green cape draped over his shoulders. He clenches a carrot and a bundle of celery in his hands, while screaming the comic-style text, "Do I look like a weirdo?". The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-16-25. The pink, light and dark orange, yellow, purple, three shades of green, red, and black markers used to draw the image rest on the table surrounding the card.
