When I’m walking around on the street I’ll take practically whatever flyer anyone is handing out. Unless it’s for a mani/pedi thing or something. I dunno. I feel like if someone’s job is being on the street handing stuff out– the least I can do is take whatever they gotta get rid of — and throw it in the garbage for them.

Around Times Square the flyers are the best. Strip club things. Crazy deals (buy ONE suit get NINE free). $99 iPadz and iFones etc. But the best stuff is the religious stuff. It almost never fails to be interesting-ish– and often is like full-on entertainment.

Anyway, the other day a chinese woman (who was wearing a sandwich board letting me know the End of Days is fast approaching) handed me a flyer. When I took it– she blurted in an accent, ‘End of days thank you…‘.

I read this flyer on the subway just totally fascinated…. (Maybe I’m the crazy one?)

…but seeing this spirography brand of organized nuttiness makes me wonder where it all comes from. Like, is there one crazy guy sitting in a room somewhere with an old Xerox machine cranking these out? Then slapping sandwich boards on random people to spread the word? Or is this part of a bigger movement?

And if the leader of this particular movement is so taken with the threat of “technology”– why isn’t this flyer up to date? If he or she (but let’s face it… most likely ‘he‘) is SO obsessed with technology– this info really should be more cutting edge. C’mon dude! Like more Wifi or iPhone oriented, right? And shouldn’t the capacity of the ‘meg chip’ be beyond for 4MB? I mean in terms of technological obsession this thing is sooo 2002!

And why does the devil need to go through the hassle of all this anyway? He needs gadgets to work his evil? Like I imagine the devil in like a Best Buy trying to negotiate the best price on a bulk purchase of ‘vein readers’. Demanding to know why his 20% Off online coupon doesn’t work in the Brick and Mortar stores. Insisting to see the manager while asking if the clerk ‘Knows who he is!?’

Of course yadda, there’s always the slight (super slight) glimmer of… ‘What if they’re right? What if end of days will be ushered in by some massive geekout order? What if the devil is just a organizational neat freak who doesn’t want to bring souls down to hell all willy nilly but wants some demon bouncer with a barcode scanner rudely turning away people who don’t have the right capacity of ‘meg’ storage or embarrassingly sporting a dated RFID chip in their neck.

I dunno. Maybe I shouldn’t help this sort of thing along by participating on any level. And motivate by taking one of these things and participating in the possibility of recruitment. And maybe I’m crazy for even reading it… but it’s better than reading stuff I’ll instantly forget.

ok bye!
