Bob. I could be the best friend you never had in your quest for global hegemony in the lucrative prophecy business. With me as your spokesperson we could sign up the entire southern hemisphere in no time and the consequences of this for the cashflow of the business should not be underestimated. However you'll need to adopt a rather more respectful tone towards me or else I might join the manden camp instead. He's not quite as colourful as you but his message is just as interesting. Prophecy is a tough gig, and not one for the emotionally fickle, so I'm afraid you'll need to lift your game.

Q. What do you call a boomerang that won't come back?

A. A stick.

You're such an idiot, especially when you think you're being clever.

At one point I offered to test-play Bob's game... since clearly his salesmanship and reputability suck... but all he did was curse at me because he wanted me to pay for the game that I was going to use to do him a favor. He's clearly all about profit and recognition -- rather than being about any divine message or salvation, as he claims with his false, manic advertising aimed (apparently) at a primitive population that no longer exists. Just the thought of anyone looking to Bob's ridiculous charade (today or ever) for a divine message or salvation is laughable. (Bob... maybe another hobby would utilize your skills better. You seem to have run this one into the ground and turned it into a joke with your poor representation.)

Ah, carving runes on it?

But how can you tell which end that is on?

That's not funny at all, at least the other one was funny.

It wasn't supposed to be funny, and at least it's original, unlike Mr. Oblivious's stick joke (or more definitively, sick joke).

Well you've succeeded in that.

As always, just presenting the spiritual truth.

bobevenson wrote:Anybody who isn't an agnostic is a fool.

So is that an agnostic spiritual truth or an absolute fool of a spiritual truth bobby?

bobevenson wrote:Ever think of getting a life?

Would that be an agnostic life or an absolute fool of a life bobby. By the way which one are you, an agnostic or an absolute fool?
