    I'm looking at a quote from NBC's The Office. It's from Creed and he mentions making money as the leader of a cult.

    So, does anybody have any experience with this? How about any recommendations? Free money is good money.

    I'm thinking that starting a cult would severely cut into racing time.

    ... unless it's a racing-based cult.

    And only the Stig, or maybe Richard Petty, can get away with a racing based cult

    We mere mortals don't have that option.

    but then a stig based cult would die out from infighting over which stig to follow.

    I was going to start a cult until I realized nobody listens to me.

    That's kind of a problem in the cult business. Plus I couldn't hold a lengthy discussion on how I'm the one true way to avoid the awful wrath when the Gamorans descend on earth without giggling.

    Google 'The Church of the Sub-Genius' or 'JR Bob Dobbs'.

    We could do like Zorro and have a different "stig" for each day of the week. We could split the 'enrollment" fees amongst the actors. Since his identity is hidden, we would just need to find people with similar body proportions and work on a rotating schedule, that way, none of the stig actors would be identifiable....FYI I am 6'1 220lbs...in case anyone needs another stig actor for their "racing based organization"

    for 50,000 dollars John Brown might let you join the Paved Church of the Heavenly Cone in a managerial position...you could make bank in the "upper echelons".

    You see, I think a racing cult could work. I'll claim that the savior is a race car (a Miata, of course) and that everybody needs to donate the sum of $50,000 to the church to fund the construction of a race track in the name of Lacy, our savior, and our lord / race car. That way, I'd even get non-crazy people involved.

    You're gonna need some Snuggies.

    Snuggies would be a great cultish robe. They even have colors to denote rank. Brilliant!

    Glad I'm not the only who immediately thinks HEATHENS! when he sees the Snuggie family roasting something in the fire pit.

    SOOOOO true! The first time I saw that Snuggies commercial, I was pretty sure the old guy in the red snuggie (if memory serves) was about to drink blood from a human skull. Perfect cult attire.

    Yep, just watched the commercial again. Look and the "use your remote" and "enjoy a snack" guy. Total berkeleying cult leader.
