Do you have one?....you know standing on a corner,sandwhich board or hand held sign proclaiming the end days....the guy who walks around here was gone for a long time....but he's back this morning and he has a new sign that say's “Your days of plenty are numbered”….I kind of like that.….he used to read from revelations but now he just mingles amongst the crowd crossing the street mumbling “repent,sinners” to no one in particular…..it’s interesting to watch people react……they get really upset.....I just think he add's color to the urban landscape.....like when you see Hare Crishna's on the march.....I want to see those 2 world's collide.....

I wonder if Rorschach will carry his "The end is near" sign in the upcoming Watchman movie. It's just one of the things that make it the best comic ever cause when you first see him, you don't know it's his secret id.

Bloom County:
Opus: I beg your pardon?
Hare Krishna: I asked if you would make an offering to a spiritual pilgrim.
Opus: Ah! You're a penguin, too?
HK: Pilgrim, my son.
Opus: Pilgrim.
HK: Yes! Of the Hare Krishnas.
Opus: Hairy Fishnuts.
HK: Hare Krishnas. You offering would go to our prayer temples.
Opus: Dimples?
HK: Prayer temples.
Opus: Pear dimples for Hairy Fishnuts!
HK: Just cough up some dough, Mac.

Did you know that when George Harrison was attacked in his home he repeatedly called on Krishnas name for deliverance,which only aggravated his delusional attacker, who would later in court claim Harrison was speaking in tongues.....:(
Remember the scene in Airplane when Robert Stack is takeing out all the beggars when he gets to the airport?......:D

we have a dude who goes round the town telling us bout the end of days. One time at the bus stop he cornered me and shouts "Is your SOUL clean!?" And before I could answer he continued "You have to make sure your SOUL is clean, because its Gods,and one day he'll want it back! Like when you rent a tux, it must be clean when it goes back!"
Slightly aghast I tried to retort but he continued, poking my arm and saying "this is just flesh" (which was just like what Yoda said haha) "its just a vessel for your SOUL which must be CLEAN!!!"
He's since been promoted to using a megaphone on the street's of our capital.

No, it wasn't really awesome at all. Hence "used to be".
