The Greatest Radio Event of my life - Rapture on May 21, 2011!
 
OK, so you guys have heard of Family Radio, no doubt. Their studios
are just 10 miles from where I live and their main transmitter on HF
is in Okeedokee, er Okeechbee, Florida. Harold Camping, the founder
and genius behind Family Radio, has predicted with stunning accuracy
and without overt prophecy from the Almighty, that the rapture will
occur on May 21, 2011, although we cannot yet tell if it will be
before or after lunch.

Anyway, so I'm groovin' along down the street after having gotten a
sandwich (vegetarian, of course - God loves animals and does not enjoy
seeing them harmed needlessly) and soft drink, and what do I spy but a
Family Radio minivan with two very friendly chaps setting up a sign
that sayeth, "Judgment Day May 21, 2011." I stop and smile knowingly
at this, and one of them energetically hands me several "End Times"
brochures and a handful of spanking new full-color business cards with
glossy overcoat that also declare as much.

Well - What can I say? What can I do? I am dumbfounded and amused as
I, an ordinary shortwave radio enthusiast and occasional listener to
the Family Radio interval signal (as it covers up the desired signals
from Pakistan or Bhutan), am CHOSEN by Harold Camping's hand-selected
assistants to receive the Word and also to pass out the Word on fancy
little business cards! It must be a sign, a revelation, a not-so-
subtle message from the great beyond that, for the next 12 days, it is
my predestiny to proseletyze profoundly on this preposterously proven
prostitution, er, I mean, postulation.

So there you have it, the story of my improbable conversion to TBOTET
(True Believer of the End Times) and chosen cherub of chicanery. I
will have photos up of the business cards later so that you, too, can
become a convert. (These cards will also be nice souvenirs of
interesting times when we reach May 22, 2011 without substantial
transsubstantiation ;-)

Oh my, this just might disrupt the Preakness on May, 21.

Do horses get to take part in the Rapture?

I recall my grandmother telling me of an event in Indiana where some (or was
it just one?) charlatans scammed folks into selling their property and worldly
goods to finally await the rapture on top of some barns on a particular day...
needless to say, the folks waited patiently as the charlatan(s) made their
escape.

Hey, I'm not joking - I am serious - so much so, that I make this
offer -

If any person (hopefully wealthy) gives me all his money and earthly
possessions, I promise to feed, clothe and shelter him/her in perfect
opulent comfort until the Rapture or Midnight, May 21, 2011, whichever
occurs first ;-)

I wonder if there is a correlation between the ones holding devouted
beliefs in the "anointed one" -- "barack obama AKA barry soetoro" the ,
"magic negro" made famous by rush limbaugh?

Looks like the same mental disorder -- and summed up by the old saying,
fools and their money are soon parted.

But then, welfare steps in and saves 'em, so you don't have to feel too
sorry for them ...

LOL! It moves at the speed the Earth turns (so as to keep up with the
International Date Line), so if you can soup up that car with rocket
engines you just might make it...

At the poles you could keep up with it on foot -- and still have
time for some lengthy SWL sessions and naps.
