"Again and again, psychics and contactees have gathered their family and
friends together to sit on a hilltop and wait for the predicted end of the
world. This charade has been repeated many times in the past twenty-five
years with UFO contactees preparing for the wonderful space people to
descend in their flying saucers and evacuate a chosen few from our doomed
planet...First they convince us of their honesty, reliability, the accuracy
of their predictions and their well-meant intentions. Then they leave us
sitting on a hilltop waiting for the world to blow up."
-- John Keel "The Mothman Prophecies" (1976)

Okay, so Brushwood is rolling farmland and not very hill-like at all. But
otherwise, it's pretty close.

The guy you quoted, Rev. John Keel, is a SubGenius Minister since the
'80s.

Oh. That's so cool. I should have known from the "BoS" feel of "The Mothman
Prophecies" (the book, not the flick).

So *that's* why "Mothman Prophecies" is so chewy.
Movie worth seeing?

You mean the movie "Mothman Prophecies"?

I thought it was incredibly good.

I find that I get a meaningful response when I refer to christians as
"lion food".

I haven't heard that he's dead. When I met him he was making his living
largely by placing ads that say "EARN BIG MONEY AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE
TIME! $5 for INFO!" For the $5 you got a pretty funny thing telling you
how to place ads that say, "EARN BIG MONEY AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE TIME!
$5 for INFO!" He said it was not a bad gig.

Greetings,

John Keel is alive and well. I believe he was still writing fairly
frequently for FATE magazine and he is a regular speaker at the Fortean
Convention held every year in Washington DC.

Next time I see him, I'll give him a "Praise "Bob" and see if it gets a
rise.

Slack!
