High Weirdness by Mail
In those antique pre-internet days of the book's debut, your only resources for contacting and receiving strange information was the USPS. There are plenty of cheap copies of HWBM available online, if you want to get a nostalgic snapshot of that era.
But the SubGeniuses behind the book have also launched THE HIGH WEIRDNESS PROJECT, which strives to replicate the book as a web-based experience.
Pay them a visit, and get your slack on.

Teen Devotionals
Some examples of the curious genre of the Teen Devotional:
Can I Be a Christian Without Being Weird?I'm not sure, but what I want to know is, can I believe in giant space lizards without being weird?
Fifty-six Days AblazeFifty-six days burning in the fiery pits of Hell!
Anybody Can Be Cool-- But Awesome Takes PracticeThese guys are still practicing.
If God Loves Me, Why Can't I Get My Locker Open?First your locker won't open, then you get left behind during the Rapture. Sucks to be a Christian.

Tarvuism
You may not have heard of Tarvuism before, but it claims to be one of the oldest and largest religions in the world. Tarvuists worship Tarvu, who came to Earth over 3,000 years ago as a tiny baby boy. After landing in the oceans, and swimming with Oobu the holy octopus, Tarvu came ashore and lived amongst men and women so that he could teach them "to live".
It's easy to become a Tarvuist. All you have to do is say Tarvu's prayer:
Tarvu tarvooti,
Oboonoo cTooti,
Mimmin O'tibbi noonah,
Mdfitty fitty noonah,
Arvu immentiBarvu,
Tarvu.

Candy Canary
Evangelical female body-builders. I don't believe my brain has ever had cause to assemble that phrase before. But then I learned of Candy Canary.

The Elves of Iceland
Maybe the Icelandic banking meltdown can be remedied with pots of elvish gold.
