Seven Cities of Gold

PeaceCrusader, put away your draft guards; strip away the duct tape, and come join us in the real world.

In less than two days, the Olympic Opening Ceremonies will begin; some sports are already underway with exhibitions. If we put aside the usual Olympic dramas of dubious scoring, cheating, traffic snafus, and what-not, you can experience some of the finest aspects of mankind: thousands of athletes from all around this gorgeous globe, engaging in vigorous, peaceful competition--truly exemplifying the beauty of the human body and spirit.

Please don't miss this due to your disappointment over the failure of a futile and frankly morbid prophecy.
 
Deux mille douze, juillet
Le lion s'échappe les pinces du crabe
Pas de paix pour Aristeo
Jeudi viendra, et la déesse achètera la bière La Fin du Monde.

Michel de Notre Dame, eat yer heart out. Mwahahaha!

This is the sort of understatement, that, when read again upon reflection, is a tiny bit elegant.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was going for.

(Prediction: we will nonetheless see more such news articles posted by PC over the next couple of days, as if trying hard to discern whether or not WWIII took place and we all missed it.)

ETA: The House of Yahweh believer I mentioned earlier in the thread (tried defending a predicted apocalypse to take place Sept. 11, 2006) tried to obfuscate on the meaning of "begin" or "began". As in, the Global Nuclear War actually "began" with some minor dispute that took place somewhere in the world today. And that was aside from the first big re-packaging of the prophecy by stating that the words used were that that was the date the "nuclear baby" would begin which actually meant the baby was "conceived" on that date and would be born 9 months later. . . .

I hope P.C. doesn't try that nonsense anyway.

8 o'clock and all's well.

I've just been out for a couple of hours - did I miss a massive nuclear exchange anywhere?
 
one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock rock!

It can be difficult:



ETA: Definitely should've made this in response to Carlitos' last.

The only useful thing about this thread is blue sock monkey's comics. And to think my squirrels and I had some small part in inspiring a few of them. I feel all glowy inside. OH HOLY **** RADIATION POISONING!! No, wait, that's just rampant egotism.

I couldn't have done any of those comics without your nuclear singing draft guard squirrels--they rulz! And please blame all defects in my artistic technique on Horatius, who taught me everything I know.

Today is the day to celebrate! The foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlords!
 
After saying all my goodbyes to friends, family and workmates, it all turned out to be much adieux about nothing.

Pi is never free.

My prediction: the prophecy will now be retconned into having said only that not all of the Olympic games would happen, rather than that none of them would. Because, you know, if even a single match fails to happen, then the Olympic games as scheduled in their entirety will have failed to happen. Thus I predict that we can look forward to a couple weeks of posts desperately linking to stories of even the slightest procedural glitches in the games. An event postponed due to weather? An athlete gets injured and can no longer compete? Then the Olympics that were supposed to happen didn't happen, and the nuclear war bit just meant the beginning of the events that would lead to war, and the prophecy was right! Eat it, skeptics!
