Let's start a doomsday cult.
We can anticipate the end of the world due to genetically modified foods starting a violent uprising.

We can stand against lawn sprinklers and vampires. Especially reverse vampires.

We can stand for drinking before noon and indie rock music.

Anyone interested? I'm open to suggestions: this is, after all, a doomsday cult.

7. PSHAW! We don't need you!
We'll see who's laughing when genetically modified corn steps on your house.

12. you will have committed suicide from listening too
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 11:43 PM by BigMcLargehuge
out of tune jangly pop, shoe gazing "she won't love me so I'll drink this drano" music, and a smattering of crappy knockoffs of better songs done by guys who rarely wash and took two guitar lessons before abandoning it for a life of pot smoking and back and body hair cultivation.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

15. Actually, I hate Pavement.
We're all about indie rock with a melody in this doomsday cult.

16. really... tell me more
until now I was pretty sure Pavement was a sign of the end times. I'd also like to include Phish in my list of indie bands that should be put to the sword.

Hows that jive with you, or am I still destined for a life serving genetically modified, atomically mutated green peppers in a cobalt mine?

18. I'd rather get kicked in the scrotum
than listen to Phish.

There are tons of better jam bands out there, like Umphreys McGee or String Cheese.

Phish is absolutely unlistenable, in my opinion. And over-rated as fuck.

20. Hmmmm... your doomsday cult is getting more attractive with each response
can we also worship Manos the Hands of Fate and have women wrestle for us... Is there anyone in the group named Torgo?

21. I think accepting someone named Torgo might be a little too much.
As for women wrestling, that's the best idea I've heard all day, and not JUST because it's 12:50 AM.

2. antivampire and indie rock?
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 11:17 PM by LastKnight
hell sign me up... but we will need a bit more variety than just indie... moderation is good, even in cults remember that.

4. I already have one
You wouldn't believe how far one can get with a guitar, a bunch of teenage girls, some dune buggies, and a smattering of Scientology

never learn not to love...

9. As detailed below:
they are in league with the genetically modified foods. The foods plan on rising up when nobody's expecting it and crushing all of mankind, and humans will have a harder time fighting back with vampires in their midst.

14. We smoke genetically modified weed.
It's our organization's super-secret. Every doomsday cult needs a hypocritical super-secret.

26. Good point about the vampires...
guess I better lay in a supply of wooden-tipped "blanks". They're only good out to about 50 yards, but staking vampires at 50 yards is better than 3 feet.

BTW, for those preparing for the end of the world, a MUST HAVE technical manual is "The Zombie Survival Guide", by Max Brooks.

17. You suck!
JK! :P Vampires are awesome! They can fly, they are super fast, they have super strength, they don't die when a wooden stake is shoved into their hearts (myth!!!!!!), they have great vision, they can smell really well (the sense, not a physical smell), and they can hear even the slightest of sounds.

27. They're Goths, and as such, must perish with the rest of the Goths.

6. Count me in...but wait a sec:
Are the members of your cult the ones who survive or perish in the apocalypse? I kind of always had a fantasy about doing my part to help repopulate the earth, and blowing up giant, flesh-eathing, mutant cockroaches. Yeah, that would be awesome!

8. I think we'll survive. Otherwise, why start a doomsday cult?
I don't think genetically modified foods or their vampire helpers will be able to get us if we plan ahead. Do you?

22. And a doomsday mascot
What would a doomsday cult be without a doomsday mascot?

23. THERE'S NO TIME! THERE'S NO TIME!
however, if you're interested in a more efficient, effective, and really SERIOUS doomsday cult (i'm — er, we're really serious!) you can join my LONG-FACE cult. we will anticipate the end of the world as a result of general overstimulation. so, keeping in good form, we will always be severely understimulated. we shall die natural deaths of boredom, and pass the time participating in circle jerks and mysteeerious electrolysis rituals!

oh yes and NO EYEBROWS ALLOWED

25. I'm in....
Already got the bunker, filled with lots of serious weaponry (including Squad-automatic belt-fed air and water-cooled machineguns, a few submachineguns, a bunch of "Evil Assault weapons", and a couple of "silenced" sniper rifles, all owned legally), a couple of tons of assorted ammo, food, a generator, and a 400 yard to 1 mile killing radius around it. Iff'n y'all want to help, you can come by and help me dig the combination in-ground swimming pool/mortar pit. I got a buddy trying to sell me his 81mm mortar (again, LEGALLY), but good ammo's hard to find, and is expensive, but I'm considering it, so I gotta dig a mortar pit....

You can call it a "doomsday cult", I'll call it "being paranoid about my neighbors".

:evilgrin:

28. But lawn sprinklers...
...are very useful for fending off vampires when filled with holy water.

Apart from that I'm in.
