> [@](#): > > So where can we post the new Thread? Under BBQ Pit? The pit is the traditional place for Chick related threads. I guess a mock tract would be a sophisticated form of a rant. maybe we could throw a few “fucks” in here or there if need be. I guess the mods could move it to MPSIMS if the pit is deemed inappropriate. How should we proceed? What if we take turns with panel descriptions? ---

Sounds Good. I’d suggest we start with one tract at an agreed upon number of panels so as not to beat the joke to death. We get people to volunteer to take x number of panels and once that is done we create a new tract and get new volunteers. (I’d say 22 pages plus the final page telling the reader to accept Jesus or burn yadda yadda.) What Say I open the thread and we invite volunteers and then divde the pages. We give it a day. By the way what theme do you want… Pokemon, video games, hip hop, cutting the crust off of your bread… A new conspiracy of the Catholic church involving Anime? ---

Why don’t we go with the sci-fi angle. Let’s start with a character (one of those great realistic Chick teens) who just likes watching Star Trek and the like. He can then get drawn deeper and deeper into the sci-fi culture. He decides to go to a convention against the advice of his fundie/harpy mother. The convention gives us an opportunity to caricature some different sci-fi fantasy series/characters. The hero is invited by a big sci-fi writer to a party. The party turns out to be a Satanic/Wiccan/Pagan ritual…Or better yet, it’s a thinly disguised George Lucas who tries to indoctrinate the hero into Buddhism. Something goes wrong and our hero ends up in ICU. Enter Bob with his stock harangue… We could also have two protagonists, one who finally heeds the warnings of Bob and one who is lost to Buddhism. They both get killed in a car crash and we get to see the angels hauling them off to their respective rewards. Let’s put these questions in the OP and try to get a consensus as to a plotline. ---

The Trek angle sounds good. The second doesn’t need to be a Buhdist he can simply ignore bob’s advice about the evils of Trek. And die in a flaming crash or keel from the fumes of his modeling glue… Either way he’s in the lake of fire with Satan (Disguised as Spock?) Doing the HAW HAW HAW on him. ok so you wanna post or shall I? ---

Why don’t you start with this one since I stole your “Ask Chick” idea. ---
