> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Knowed Out \* > \*\*Since you’ve opened up this thread, you can answer the question we’ve been pondering since Revelations…when is Armageddon? Who is the Antichrist going to be? Is Jack Chick right? And please don’t make any vague thief-in-the-night allusions. We want to know exact date, time and location for best seats. \*\* Is Jack Chick right? Why, has he ever said anything you find questionable? As for the end of days, all I can say is, _armageddon_ tired of that question. You expect Coca-Cola or Kentucky Fried Chicken to give you their secrets? When Judgment Day comes, I will have the best seats. Yours and everyone’s. ---

You know how the Christians always appropriated the original sources and incorporated them into their holidays. Copycats. ---

Can you tell the difference before it’s too late? \*\* Okay, everybody, all together: \*Pining for the fjords? What kind of talk is that? He’s not pinin’! He’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life. He rests in peace! Pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, he’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible! \* Now give me that parrot. I’m going to see “Pirates of the Caribbean” this weekend. ---
