Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Little Hawk Date: 08 Jun 06 - 05:03 PM The great thing about a failed prediction, Wolfgang, is that it instantly clears the slate for a whole lot of new predictions to be brought forward. ;-) Or in the well chosen words of Jackson Browne... "don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet" |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Wolfgang Date: 08 Jun 06 - 04:20 PM Never mind, they'll adjust the date and if something happens at any time, there'll be people telling the significance of the date in retrospect. I follow since some time the predictions for the date of the "American Hiroshima" for study purposes. About twice or three times a year it has been predicted to happen since 2001: At the end of Ramadan, 666 days after 9/11, the day before yesterday,.... Failed predictions never prevent new predictions (even by the same people) to crop up. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Phil Cooper Date: 08 Jun 06 - 04:19 PM My fundamentalist great-grandparents got married on 6-6-06 one hundred years ago. I got the impression that they didn't make a big deal of the 666 thing back then. At least not in their particular church. My great-grandfather told me a lot of stories from his youth and mentioned the wedding date with pride. Any numerical significance didn't cross his mind. Let people get fussed if they want. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Scoville Date: 07 Jun 06 - 11:40 PM Well, that was anticlimactic, wasn't it? 7/6/06 and I'm still here. I was hoping we'd at least have a fire drill at work or something to make life interesting--send those sleeping med students scrambling. Oh, well. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Jun 06 - 10:09 PM He's a dachshund, Number 6. They are capable of anything...morally speaking. Their lowly stature, however, has prevented them from attaining power in high places, and we can all be thankful for that! |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: CarolC Date: 07 Jun 06 - 10:03 PM They kept the accordion, Bobert. They wanted me to give them lessons, but I wanted to get back here with my friends, so I gave them a raincheck. They said no problem, they'd be there waiting when I returned. For now, they're just trying to figure out how to get the straps over their wings. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: robomatic Date: 07 Jun 06 - 05:33 PM Joe: Thought you were Catholic, which to me is FFF (Far From Fundamentalist). Last night on one of my favorite AM shows, CoastToCoastAM, the Art Bell inheritor, George Noory, had on a Jesuit Priest who gave a very liberal and logical interpretation of 666 and the Book Of Revelations. He gave a very good and modern impression of Today's Church that Cardinal Cushing, JXXIII, and JPII could be proud of. No sooner had he left the air then all the conspiracy buffs, ET-phone home fanatics, and Card Carrying Fundies called in and trashed him! |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Bobert Date: 06 Jun 06 - 07:28 PM Listen up, folks... Apparently the 40 million or so folks, including the president himself, must have misplaced a decimal point, 'er somethin... But even though it weren't me personally who misplaced the decimal I take personal responsibiltiy for this mishap... So... ... I'm sorry and you can all go unpack yer suitcases... BTW, the way I unnerstand this Rapture thing is that only the good and righteous folks get called up and the Earth is left with the misfits, accordian and banjo players, folks who yell at their kids in the Walmart, etc... You know the types... So havin' been 'round here fit a while I reckon that alot of you folks who have had yer suitcases packed all day were gonna get left behind with the rest of the heathens.... Hey, this is waht I don't get... Ain't this all kinda backwwards??? Like why kill off all the good people and leave the lousy people alive and well??? Shouldn't it be the other way around??? Nevermind... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 06 Jun 06 - 06:46 PM Hello... Is there anybody there? I just heard a big bang. Okay, not a BIG bang, but a pretty loud bang. All right, it was a neighbor shooting something with a shotgun. But, hey, just a thousand years ago it would have scared the shit out of everybody for miles around. Then they would have made up stories about how someone saw Satan pop out of a hole in the ground at the same time the loud bang happened. Hey, who's that red guy with horns walking down my driveway? |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: GUEST,Sori Date: 06 Jun 06 - 06:13 PM "One interesting thing about the Rapture is that it was never mentioned in the bible." Sure, turn this into a religion bashing thread. ;-) Nowadays, instead of a flag decal it's a flag lapel pin for the suit. Or flags on both side of your car (apparently to get you into a presidential motorcade or some such?). Or flag t-shirts with some arrogant and belligerent saying about America and/or Toby Keith. Any of the above, along with a signed declaration that you hate immigrants and gays, and love Bush and the Iraq war, and you are all set for 666 heaven. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: number 6 Date: 06 Jun 06 - 02:40 PM Hey Bobart ... I've been sitting outside my house here since the break of dawn ... my knapsack packed, my harmonica (key of D)in my shirt pocket ... no one has stopped by ... some old 1970's Camaro drove by blasting some AC/DC song though. I dunno ... beginning to think this 6-6-06 stuff is all a bunch of hype. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Wesley S Date: 06 Jun 06 - 01:15 PM John - Thanks. I knew my friend wasn't making it up - he's a heck of a guitar player himself and would have spotted if Milner was faking. I wonder if Milner ever recorded anything ? |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: John Hernandez Date: 06 Jun 06 - 12:57 PM Martin Milner is a very accomplished jazz guitarist. He did his own guitar work when he played a jazz musician in the 1957 film "The Sweet Smell of Success" which is now on DVD. The rest of the musicians in the movie were from the Chico Hamilton band. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Ebbie Date: 06 Jun 06 - 12:18 PM There must be something about accordions... About 15 years ago a friend brought a friend of hers to our music night and he and I became friends. At age 42 he had been severely injured while working on deck a ferry. When he woke up in the hospital he decided that he would spend the rest of his life doing the things he had always wanted to do. First he learned guitar, then mandolin, then fiddle. He ordered instruments at a great rate from Elderly for a number of years. In fact, so frequently that for awhile I had him order guitar strings for me on a regular basis. Now, he is into accordion. He started out with a button accordion then decided there was much greater versatility to the piano accordion, sold that and bought the other. He's taking lessons from the best accordion player I have ever heard, Dale Wygant. The man is serious. I haven't heard him on his newest acquisition yet- but if he practices as incessantly on this instrument as he did the others he will get pretty good. Dale, his teacher, is multi-faceted. Legally blind he bicycles all over our quiet streets. He has a doctorate in the Russian language. He plays in a hot band, most of whose members also play in the local symphony. Middle Eastern music is probably his greatest love. I've been in awe of Dale ever since I heard him play for the local International Folk Music Ensemble. He introduced one tune as a Bulgarian piece, with 11 beats to the measure. The next one he introduced as a Hungarian one. This one, he said, had 13 beats to the measure, but no problem, he said. He would just add two more beats. I gave up. My friend is in good hands. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Wesley S Date: 06 Jun 06 - 12:12 PM Kendall - it was the "metaphysical" route 66 they traveled on. They also filmed episodes in Treasure Island Florida. Gainsville too. Here's some tread drift - Has anyone heard that Martin Milner from Route 66 and Adam 12 was an accomplished jazz guitarist? The guy who owns the local record store saw Milner in a movie and says he was playing some good lead lines on an arch toped electric. |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: kendall Date: 06 Jun 06 - 11:41 AM Is it getting warmer, or is it just me? They filmed a segment of Rt. 66 in Maine, but rt 66 never came anywhere near Maine. Confusing... |

Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: CarolC Date: 06 Jun 06 - 11:02 AM I know you're jealous, Spaw. But don't feel bad, you're not too old to learn to play the accordion. |
