The manager of the HEB (the big grocery store chain in texas) was standing out front yesterday, congratulating each customer for surviving the end of the world. I thought it was funny but a little, well, risky for texas.

Heb? Heb is the big food store there? How do you rponouce that?

H-E-B (you pronounce each letter). It is definitely one of the better big food stores I've been around. I give the nod to Wegman's in NJ/NY, but HEB isn't bad at all.

They're the initials of the guy who founded the store. He wanted to call it Butts Grocery, as that is the family surname, but his kids talked him out of it.

Good for the kids.

They just built one literally in my development - opened late last year.

That's good to hear. Figurative supermarkets tend to suffer from a utility deficiency.

Wegman's is my favorite store.

I buy my smoking meats at HEB as they have an incredible butcher section. they are the only grocery store in my area that sells all natural brisket, baby backs and boston butts.

I thought it stood for Here Everything's Better. I feel misled

We shopped at a brand new HEB the last year we were in Houston. Great store.

You could buy ostrich steaks imported from Utah.

I know that some of you will be disappointed but the apocalypse has been rescheduled for October...

So why is God waiting till October to blow us all up? Camping read out a letter from a supporter who believes that, for (incomprehensible) geophysical reasons, the earth would not last for five months following the great predicted earthquake. (This is not an official Family Radio theory, yet, but Camping assured his listeners it would be investigated.) The same supporter, in the same letter, indicated that God, in His infinite mercy, did not want everyone to suffer "Hell on earth" for five months. (This was up Camping's alley — he does not believe in "eternal hell" — and he expounded on it at length.)

Either way, you heard the guy: Mark your calendars for October 21. And be nice for the next five months! Because you're under judgment.

I'm going to be at Notre Dame that weekend. The game is on the 22. I don't want to die in South Bend, Indiana.

You don't die, dummy. You either float up in the air or sit around and obey the antichrist.

Oh.

Ok, well I don't mind sitting around obeying the anti-Christ in South Bend, Indiana.

How high do you float, just out of curiosity? If it is high enough I might just skip buying a ticket to the game.

I was enraptured Saturday.

You may want to pack a pair of binoculars.

Is it like Carousel in Logan's Run?
