The world is ending! ... Again?
Backwoods Home Magazine ^ | John Silveira

People love to talk about scary stuff. Especially when it’s end-of-the-world scary, such as the big asteroid recently in the news that was supposed to hit Earth and destroy all life, including human life. The big media morons went right along with this far-fetched prediction for the sake of a few more viewers and readers, but as usual the truth came out: Oops! Our calculations were off. The asteroid won’t hit Earth after all.

It’s not the first time an on-again, off-again asteroid was headed for Planet Earth, and it’s only one of many “doom and gloom” scenarios the news media likes to pass on to all us ever so gullible humans. Remember Y2K? Everyone went nuts, spending billions to plan for an imaginary monster. BHM, I’m proud to say, was one of the few honest media outlets who insisted from start to finish that Y2K was just a lot of hooey.

But now, today, as we open 2004, I’d like to tell you about a real possible doomsday scenario that is sitting under our very feet. It’s a volcano. Not just any old volcano like another Mt. St. Helens. That thing was just a firecracker. I’m talking about one that could end the world as we know it—a supervolcano. And it’s inevitable.

'So, what can we do to stop it? Absolutely nothing.'

That's right. If something of this magnitude were to occur in our lifetimes, then here's your survival agenda:

1) Get right with God. Quick, if you have to.

2) Pray that you live to see the next sunrise.

3) Bend over and give your keister a pre-emptive kiss goodbye.

A man has got to prioritize his existence.

My son would like a trip through the Bunny Ranch if the end of the world is coming. He'll sort it out with God.

Happy Thankgiving to you too.

I got to motivate and get KV up from his nap and up into his wheelchair so I can go flame up the BBQ and cook a Prime Rib before we lose daylight.

Perhaps a little Mondavi will start my engines.

God Bless you and yours.

Mrs. Slim just pulled the pie from the oven, and the turkey breast is going in.

God Bless you and your son too.

Then what are we waiting for? I say let's do it.
