Title: what the Rapture might look like in Dallas
Post by: Limmo on October 16, 2005, 03:39:27 am: I especially like the airplane crashing into the building and all the souls on it ascending to see Scary Jesus in the sky.

See for yourself. (http://www.boingboing.net/images/rapture.jpg)

Post by: Imperator Severn on October 16, 2005, 05:08:21 am: How about the man being crushed between two cars in the center foreground?

Hey, fella, guess what! God doesn't love you! Now watch out for that car!

EDIT: And gay marriage scares these people? Isn't that sort of like, I don't know, carnivorous zombie elephants with serrated tusks being afraid of Fatburger?

I am convinced that one day Fatburger will play an instrumental role in the foiling of an evil plot to destroy the earth.

Maybe it will stop that gigantic creepy Jesus. It will destroy him with scuzzy hamburgers and friendly-yet-incompetent staff.

Post by: Golfhaus on October 16, 2005, 11:31:21 am: I like how the only souls being saved are ones who were a) already dead, b) on the road, or c) in the airplane. Apparently, the thousands of people at work in the buildings are all collectively fucked.

That does remind me why I consider East Texas more a protectorate or security zone than an actual part of Texas. East of I-45, it's pretty much that inbred.

Well, I'm certainly not one to judge the accuracy of a film about the South, since the farthest South I've ever been is Boston, but it had some nice music in it. The movie, I mean, though I'm sure the same is true of Boston.

I try not to, at least not without wearing a jimmy hat; I'm pretty sure Tejas carries some foul payloads.

Quote from: "Zorro, the Gay Blade"

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: For myself, nothing. But I thought for the people, you might donate your land.
Don Diego: I give my land to the peoples? If we give away my land, where you think we gonna live?
Charlotte Taylor Wilson: Boston!
Don Diego: Boston?!
Charlotte Taylor Wilson: It's really the only civilized city. The best food, the best art, the best music!
Don Diego: The best music. You gotta be joking! I spent a week in Boston once, and I don't think I heard a decent Mariachi player in the city!

perhaps that painting is a bit more prescient than i would like to think about.
