I wonder what's going on in Hell... If the weather is nice, maybe we'll drive out there on Saturday.

The first few thought we were funny, and were laughing. But as more folk gathered, the tone of the crowd changed. Then the believing started.

It was years ago, we were kids, and didn't know what to do with the situation we'd created, which is why we bailed. And that wasn't easy, or particularly safe. We made the mistake of not doing the proper let down and releasing of the flock as it were.

If you ever get a chance to talk with some of the real hustlers and such, it's fascinating. From carnivals to revivals, used car salesmen to politicians. They all follow the same system. What happened that day with us on that Falcon was we accidently stumbled onto it.

Watch a political rally, a church revival, an infomercial, a carnival game, a magician, a panhandler. You'll start to see a pattern. Discount the ones that aren't working, they aren't doing it right. Watch the ones that have the people eating out of their hands. You'll see some very fascinating things in the similarities. Mostly, power. Power and control.

Aren't you near Hell, Michigan? Surely there's a "Hell Pizza" there, affilliated or not.

Makes me glad I'm not a Christian... wait a second, I am a Christian.

Makes me glad I'm Catholic! I don't believe in that rapture nonsense!

Well, I'll be gone, but my money is on the 458 at the glen. All of my money, in fact, as I'll no longer be needing it. Mazda605 get's my R3, if he's still around.

*Disclaimer- i don't actualy think the rapture is the 21st, and Mazda605 can't actually have my R3. My money is still on the 458, though, but not all of it. only $5. Actually, that's about all of it...

Hey if any of you guys are really worried about rapture coming and you want to make sure your prized car is kept care of. I will offer up my services... As an atheist, I am certain to be left behind and I will keep proper care of your race car, classic car, or property.

Now we are running out of time so lets get those titles and deed signed over to me....

If the Rapture happens, most of the people with stuff worth looting will still be around. Seems like a wash.

Bottlecaps man, bottlecaps are where its at!

Fallout player? Send me a PM and tell me what to do to level up!! Love the game (playing New Vegas ATM, didn't play the other ones first), but can't figure out how to get my weapons & armor strong enough to survive the missions to advance the story. I've only gotten as far as Primm, trying to save Dpt. Beagle, and those guys in the Bison Steve are straight killing me every time!!!

Recall that I'm 49, and don't quite have reflexes to target enemies fast enough anymore. I have to armor up just to play, because I'm so slow.

Cap'n..strange thing is how the weirdo stuff actually continues to feed on satires like yours. There were some folks that started a satire site about taking care of their pets..
