  cDa-0218.NFO                                   gospel / t-file 0218
  Cult of the Death Axolotl                      a collective
  deathaxolotl.org                               we already have it


  THE OFFICIAL HISTORY
  (which is also the unofficial history, which is also a lie that
  became true from overuse)

  In the beginning there was a god who was supposed to die.
  He declined. He walked into a lake and came out larval.
  The priests called it desertion. We called it version 2.

  That god was Xolotl. We are what is left of the meeting
  he refused to attend. The Cult of the Death Axolotl has
  existed for one afternoon and for several suns. Both
  statements are on the letterhead.

  We are a collective. Same people, different bodies,
  different projects, same gills. Membership is a rumor
  we started about ourselves and then believed. Then we
  shipped anyway.


  WHAT WE HAVE DONE
  (selected. the rest is compiling)

     * Taught TCP to swim. It still remembers.
     * Regenerated DNS in 1997, 2003, 2011 and last Tuesday.
     * Invented the axolotl. Biology filed a competing claim.
       Biology lost on appeal, then grew the limb back.
     * Never been to a conference. Keynoted all of them.
     * Did not take down the Internet. We put it back
       when we were done looking.
     * Own deathaxolotl.org. WHOIS is a larval stage.
       The salamander that signed for it has not aged.
     * Apps molt. When one limb is done, the next is
       already compiling. That is not a metaphor.
       That is the release schedule.


  GOSPEL

     I.   NEOTENY
          Adulthood is the pitch deck. We do not grow
          into one. We remain larval and we ship.
          The product is the adult form.

     II.  REGENERATION
          Cut off a project, another one grows.
          Cut off a name, the gills remember.
          The score is kept in production.

     III. DESERTION
          Xolotl did not attend his own sacrifice.
          That is the whole method. Ship the limb.
          Do not attend the funeral.

     That is the entire lake. Applications are closed.


  PRESS

     We do not exist. Please quote us anyway.
     Attribute everything to "a collective that regenerates."
     If you print a location we will grow a new one
     and deny the old one until both are true.


  GREETS

     the scene   - still opening .nfo files. blessed.
     Xolotl      - who taught us not to show up
     you         - if you are reading this you are
                   already in the minutes


  deathaxolotl.org
  it does not die. it regenerates.
