L Ron Hubbard
Genius screenwriter, Sci-Fi titan, decorated war hero, invented a religion, had his own fleet, made a few bob in the process. What’s all the fuss about?
Saw the dangers lurking in Monopoly and thus banned followers of Dianetics from playing the game, at least with the Top Hat. They were never to collect the £200 for Passing Go without wishing Thetans good luck.
Understood the inherent contradiction of trying to peel a stone.
Some things you may not know about L Ron;
- His Dear Old Mother live in a cupboard!
- He was partial to pickled eggs
- His Sea Shanty album “Tickle Me Tackle Nancy” never troubled the charts. But with songs like “Tug Me Rope”, “When I Rub Me Barnacles I’m Thinking Of Me Molly” and “Blow Me Back To Blighty Gerty On A Good Stiff ‘Un!” I’m amazed it didn’t sell.
