Prepare for the End of the World

November 8th 2010

Dear Hank,

As you can see from this picture I’ve been preparing for the end of time. If you’ve been doing your liturgical reading be it Mayan, Christian, or other - you know that the end of the world is near; or, at least, a nuclear and or spam holocaust is close at hand. In preparation I’ve taken to wearing these glasses that will prevent my eyes from burning out from a sudden flash of atomic chain reaction converting matter into energy - also referred to as an atomic bomb. Naturally, if you don’t get them on in time you will become one of the children of the damned and your eyes will turn bright red. This will allow you, of course, to star in Carly Fiorino ad as sheep in wolf’s clothing (or was it the other way around?) It does appear that in the case of my young nephew Tyler that he didn’t get them whipped on in time.

Now some of you may be thinking that this is all bunk and that my young neph’ was caught in the camera’s flash and somebody forgot to set the red-eye flash thinking that while sitting in the movie theater waiting for MegaMind in 3D with IMAX to start and asked someone to take our picture like we were in one of those stock photos about the original 3D movies, but you would be wrong. (go to paragraph 1.) ...

Or continue reading here, yikes, the effects were great and the story was good with lots of neat little asides for the older generations (The good guy just happens to have a cape that looks like the ones Elvis used to wear in Las Vegas, etc.) But it ain’t cheap. The marque said tickets were $16.50 each for the four of us it was $60.00. How they did their math I don’t know. (“We need popcorn.” “No.” “We need a snack.” “NO.”)

And another thing any metal box that has a slot to put quarters in immediately demands that the kids run over to it while yelling, “Can I have a quarter?” It’s amazing.

Well, back to the preparations. Take care, I’ll be in the bunker while the Republicans and The Tea Party save the nation.
