Hey y'all, it's been a few weeks. Hopefully everyone saw Daniel's new tape.
Obviously the most important part of that tape was not my advertisement. The more important part was the community dinner and skinwalker sacrifices and elder gods and all that other shit...but let's take a minute just to talk about the ad first since I can give some real commentary on that. I made that ad around the end of 1988. Yes, that was me talking. I was around 50 - sounds young to me now but at the time I felt like I was already old as hell. I had to spend an hour or so in a recording booth in the Broadcast Station up on Bernard Overlook, gave them some pictures and instructions on the ad, and they put it all together for me. It was a service that the station offered to local businesses so I just thought, "why the hell not?". That ad was only on air for a little less than a year obviously, but it seemed like it brought in a fair bit more business than usual. Our motto was goddamn stupid looking back on it but hey, rhymes are popular, people remember 'em, so what do you expect? Now, the reason it took me so long to make this post (if 3 days counts as long, anyway) is because I was digging through some of my old stuff to find the script I used for that ad. The whole ad is long gone, I doubt they have it in their archives or any of that nonsense but I still have the script. I just thought y'all might get a kick out of it, so I found it and I typed it all up and everything: "Hi, my name is Trevor Magnil. I run the Magnil Clothing Store on Main Street in Walker Creek, Washington along with my wife, Julia. We have everything you need from pre-made clothing to custom alterations, and even custom orders that we make from scratch! Get a T-Shirt, some custom fit jeans, a new hat, a beautiful luxury jacket, and so much more, all at great prices! We'll work to find what's best for your style and price range! So come on down to the Magnil Clothing Store! Our motto is: “If you wanna wear it, we'll prepare it!” Visit us on Main Street!" Anyway, it's time to get down to business and talk about Community Dinners. I made a post about 'em once before but I didn't really go into it much. Just said that everyone acted sorta fake and weird and that the food was bad. I guess I'll go into some specifics on what they are exactly: Community Dinners happened a few times a year, sometimes even once a month depending on the WCTB organizers. It was basically like a big town potluck, but sometimes got sponsored by Roy or someone else. You'd get there and everyone would just be shootin' the shit and goofing off and whatever. There'd be a vote for what dishes get brought out first, but I guess anyone who was a skinwalker would get a different card. Then there'd just be a bunch of boring speeches and mindless small talk, and a prayer before the meal, which is the same one you heard. It's pretty carefully worded so that it can really work for Christianity too, which is what every non-skinwalker in Walker Creek practiced. I guess thinking back on it I still should have realized that it was really weird but...I guess people just really don't want to wake up. To be honest, if you think back on some of the crazy stories I've told like my leg injury, the Robert Farm incident, the WCPD encounter, the van in the woods, and a bunch of others, I should have put two and two together way faster. I'm still kicking myself for that one; I'm just lucky I actually got out without too much harm done. Oh and also, the "glory for the harvest star" part on the tape wasn't said by anyone at those dinners. It ended at the "become one across the world" part. It gave me chills to hear that prayer again, knowing the true meaning of it. All of the "Hosted" are sick bastards. To finish this off, I'll just say that there was usually some dancing after the meal. I heard people talking about joining the Hosted program a lot whenever I went to one of those events, so I guess it was used for recruitment too. I don't really have a good way to end it so I'll just sign off. If you have any more questions about Community Dinners then let me know. If you assumed that I'm too old to know about social media then you're wrong: you can contact me on twitter and instagram (and my email) with questions. -Trevor
