     Finally got to view Twelve Monkies last night. Strange movie. I guess
     this

     is the best way to describe the movie;

     Doom! Doom! We're all gonna die!

     Two Fridays ago, a bunch of us went to NYC to hang-out for the day. We

     were on our way to the subway station when I saw this oriental guy

     walking around with a big sign that stated that the world was going to

     end. This was too good to be true. I've never met one of these clowns in

     person. I stopped the group and went up to the guy. He was handing out

     photocopies of how the world was going to be destroyed in 2 years.

     A giant meteroite will smash into the Earth and purify the earth with

     holy fire. Only the chosen will survive. You could see a meterite larger

     then the Earth about to smash into us on his giant sign. He also was

     wearing that front/back sandwich sign that you put over yourself. On the

     back side of his sign, there was a picture of a statue of Mary crying

     blood. So between the sign he carried and the sandwhich board, he looked

     pretty goofy.

     I went up to the guy and in a straight face I said, "Can I have on of

     your flyers, I believe." The guy nearly passed out on the spot. He

     thrusted a flyer into my hands and said "HERE, you'll need it!!!". I

     truly wished I had a Subgenius flyer to offer back in exchange. At least

     we have a way to get off this rock before the End Times approaches! :)

              I wouldn't say that. About 99% of the time whenever we go into
              the city,

              it's after 10pm at night. Just about most of those kooks have
              gone home

              to pray. You should see some of the weird stuff at midnight
              down on Mott

              street. It just happened that I took a day off from work and
              went to the

              city in the day time. I would hardly call that a sheltered
              life.
