The Last Pope?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

The Last Pope: Examining Nostradamus and Malachy (No. 288)

I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about old prophecies since Pope John Paul II’s death about him being the last Pope and Christianity fizzling out by the end of the 20th Century. Actually according to this book, and this conspiracy site, he is the next-to-last Pope. The link above interests me more, as Nostradamus predicts there would be five Popes after the controversial Pius XII. (JP2 was the fourth Pope after him)

Move over Woody and Buzz…

Is this a gift only a creepy uncle type would buy a kid, or what?
Talking Jesus, Mary and Moses dolls due to go on sale in May

WHOAH! When did Jesus and Moses become Black belts?

More important than that… is it safe to remove their sashes without the fear of them chasing you all around the apartment?

Year of the Phoenix: Rebirth

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Fire of PrometheusSpring is here, the Poconos is less flooded, and you can see the flowers and trees begin to bloom through the muddy water.

And so it’s time for a new look to go with my new attitude. A lot of phenomenal changes on the inside of me all winter long, and now it’s time to let it show.

As always, all my anger, rage and bitterness remains the driving force in my creativity.

Like the fire Prometheus gave to man, it can be used to create or consume everything in its path… it all depends on your mastery of it.

Bowling for Karma™

Posted on by Eric Brooks

On the Pocono Forums, I introduced a new game called “Bowling for Karma™“. On that board, people are awarded positive or negative “Karma Points” for their posts. People covet these points, and it also encourages them to keep the quality of discussion high.

I submitted three sites of local candidates running for judge positions in the Poconos. I designed one of them.

  • Jon Mark For Judge (www.jonmarkforjudge.com)
  • Brian Germano For Judge (www.germano4judge.com)
  • Art Zulick For Judge (www.artzulick.com)

Whoever picks the site I designed is rewarded a Karma Point at the forum (also for giving my ego a boost). I really have nothing to offer on this site, but just for kicks & giggles, since you guys probably know my design style much better….

Which site do you think I designed?

A curse on Sara Freder

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Ok…. it’s official, psycho-charlatan extraordinaire Sara Freder has crossed the line. She has inadvertently cursed me. I went to her site a month ago for kicks, and she has been spamming me non-stop with lousy predictions ever since…. this was the one for today:

“For me now, there is no doubt: an abnormal event took place at a precise moment in your life. It subsequently thwarted your capabilities and still spoils your real chances of success today.”

“I can even tell you precisely that this dramatic event took place during your adolescence, when you were about 13, I think it is difficult for you to remember anything precise. That event happened in autumn; the weather was bad and you were surrounded by many people, probably during a family gathering. At that precise moment, a person took advantage of these circumstances to put a curse on somebody.”

There’s a secret to fortune telling and psychic readings. They butter you up by making poignant observations about you, which opens your subconscious to some vague generalized bullshit which you will later interpret as their prediction coming true. As a general rule, I find myself going for a psychic reading because I think paying five bucks to sit at a table and having a pretty woman hold my hand and gaze in my eyes is much cheaper than buying them dinner. (I’m a romantic that way.) 🙂

Many of you reading this, I make a prediction: Good fortune will come to you on the 15th.
How do I know this? Many of you are paid bi-weekly. Odds are the 15th will be a payday for you. Or… something fortunate will happen… because something fortunate happens every day, but now you will be SPECIFICALLY looking for it on the 15th, and will be amazed at my psychic ability!

No really, come back to this post on the 15th, and regale me with what wonderful things happened on the 15th for you.

Boob-O-Vision

Posted on by Eric Brooks

(I’m reprinting this from a discussion board because I’m too lazy to write a new post)

Another fascinating revelation (well for me, anyway), I’m currently reading “The Devil’s Notebook” and stumbled across an interesting factoid: Anton LaVey hated television.

I miss him already.

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Rest in Peace, your Eminence.I was quite taken back with Reverend Mykeru’s writeup on Pope John Paul II’s passing.

I’ve been mainly of the Protestant brand of Christianity, so the Pope always represented the “wrong” kind of Christianity, though I never took a hatred to Catholicism like Jack Chick did.

Actually, I really liked this Pope. Sure he was “a funny little guy with the beanie” and the butt of a lot of my jokes sometimes, but all in all he was a good man who had the task of holding together a dying and archaic institution, wracked with scandals and falling apart at the seams.

Children of Loki… REJOICE!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Yes… to many, April 1th has all the magic and power as Christmas. For the Eternal Prankster it is one of the High Holy Days on the calendar.

If you recall last year, this entire site was in mirror reverse. Two years before that, I was reveling in a classic gag where I became a woman and seduced some asshole and put out all his letters online for his wife and business associates to see (and I did it LONG before that Libertarian “Girl” did.)….

There’s one prank ready to spring in the office as we speak. I will let you know how it goes.

Pulling pranks are easy. You just have to have a great sense of humor and be a vicious prick at the same time.

You know who’s NOT good at it? The Pope.
I mean come on… immediately after Terri Schiavo, you’re gonna pull this “Grave Condition” stunt on April Fools day no less, and expect me to fall for it???

Nice try, but timing is everything, your Eminence.

UPDATE – 2:45PM: Pope John Paul II has passed away.
UPDATE II – 2:53PM: OOPS! False alarm. A Cardinal stepped on the EKG Monitor plug by accident. HE LIVES!
