I've been able to avoid evangelists and televangelists for some time, fortunately - ever since I saw the last of my fundamentalist uncle who was also a very nasty piece of work. A few years ago, I heard he had joined a cult that believed they were going to heaven on the 29th August of whatever year it was. They apparently had their suitcases packed and everything. I did wonder though if you are allowed to take suitcases to heaven :-) He died a few years later in the usual conventional way. A couple of kids I know mentioned the date thing yesterday. Apparently it's been talked about at school, but they didn't look particularly worried. I used to have a little plush red devil with horns that I got one Valentines Day, but I dunno where he is. I guess the plush yello, green and purple Y2K bug that sits on my monitor will have to do, as a symbol of the stupidity of these ideas. He is kinda cute, tho. |

06 Jun 06 - 12:25 AM (#1753859) Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Desert Dancer Rapaire, Actually Route 666 in Arizona (which was also in the southeast part of the state, but was discontinuous from north to south) got changed to 191 around the time of NAFTA in order to have a single route that ran from Mexico to Canada. Of course, this is the kind of blue line road that no commercial trucker would want to come anywhere near. It is scenic for the non-commercial types, though. Sheesh, there are Wikipedia entries (1 and 2) that combine the stories. To say nothing of this from "arizonaroads.com". There's something for everyone on the web, I guess!! ~ Becky in Tucson |

It was truly the route of the Rapture on a summer's day in the holidays, because it was also the way the X60 bus to Blackpool went, and we would crowd round the bus stop by the Brittania, waiting for a bus with enough spare space to take us on the hour-and-a-half ride to the seaside. |

06 Jun 06 - 12:18 PM (#1754194) Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Ebbie 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. |

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. |

08 Jun 06 - 04:19 PM (#1755755) Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Phil Cooper 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. |

From: Wolfgang 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 |

08 Jun 06 - 05:03 PM (#1755781) Subject: RE: BS: 6-6-06... From: Little Hawk 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" |
