Transcendental Terrorists
This is one of the more radical splinter groups of the Society for Krishna
Consciousness (who will, of course, disavow any knowledge of them).
The TT (or, as they refer to themselves, the ``Children of Militant
Enlightenment'') has been known to crash into the homes of innocent
agnostics and chant at them forcibly until they achieved Krishna
consciousness against their wills. They have claimed responsibility for
planting any number of tape recorders in large shopping malls, all of
which blared ``Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Hare Hare, Hairy Fishnuts'' (or
whatever; I have no truck with such people). The death toll has climbed
to upwards of 500 (mostly cable TV execs who committed suicide when they found out that 50% of their
suburban viewing audiences had become enlightened and had immediately
cancelled cable).
They frequent airports, where they attempt to blend in with their more docile
brethren (they are, however, easily spotted because they insist on absolute
purity and hence will wear no fiber that was ever part of any living creature,
so they are usually dressed in nylon and polyester). Because of their
insistence on wearing polyester and nylon, they are that much less
noticeable in the mall (and forget about picking them out if they're sitting at
the bride's family table at a wedding reception). However, if you are
vigilant, you will be able to spot the powerful (but smiling) boredom in their
eyes and alert the friendly neighborhood Mall Cops (who will, hopefully, rush
out to call some real law enforcement officials).
Keep yer eyes peeled, all.
