A mere handful of people took him seriously enough to sell all of their belongings or cash in their retirement accounts and "spread the word." Their lives are utterly ruined because of it, but that's not necessarily Harold's fault. It's theirs for being fucking gullible.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-55719616750061332442011-05-23T11:08:48.031-05:002011-05-23T11:08:48.031-05:00Define "many".

Unfortunately, the Fundamentalists who had barricaded off E. Second Ave in case of an impromptu Triumphal entry parade were sorely disappointed when it turned out to be a young Hispanic man coming to visit his Aunt Rosa.<br /><br />The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were thought to have been spotted just to the north east of the city, but that turned out to be some cowboys who had gotten hammered at a local Biker bar, and things had gotten a bit out of hand.<br /><br />And the last I heard, the Great Whore of Babylon was directing traffic with three other "ladies" of uncertain gender assignment near 11th and Harvard. I don't think that will turn out as reported, either...<br /><br /><br />All this silliness is to say that Christ Himself said that no one, no one of us failable, broken humans will know the day that He will call us to Him. No one is promised one more breath. That being said, I am happy you included me as one of your Lunatics, and will end the day with prayers in front of Our Lady's icon, and sip a wee glass of Chimay Ale made by my Trappist Brothers.<br /><br />Good nite, and God bless.Monk-in-Traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373661525025912462noreply@blogger.com
