"Yea, verily, in the fullness of time these were the signs of the end of time where the earth and rulers were red.
"Forsooth, the great bear began eating quiche while war and luna gobbled the night before the ransoms were due.
"A vagabond's abandoned pouch shall raise alarms and loud sirens disrupting learning.
"The earth will surely tremble with the twisting sky as hope of spring turns to ice and despondent winter on every breath of a bitter north wind.
"Henceforth, let those who have eyes and ears heed the signs prophesied by the seer of sooths, Heebie Jeebies, and abide by the insight of my servant Okuspokus."
--First Heebie Jeebies, 5:1-5, (Okuspokus translation)
Yea verily and forsooth, I, Okuspokus, servant and scholar of the Great Sayer of Sooths, Heebie Jeebies, being in the spirit of the sooth, hereby reveal the sooth truth of the end of time for the place called Oklahoma (red dirt and rulers):
"The great bear eating quiche is Russia devouring Crimea and Ukraine, a clear sign of the coming wrath.
War is Mars being the closest to earth and luna is tonight's lunar eclipse, all happening before April 15, income tax deadline (ransoms).
A mysterious suitcase causes evacuation of a university building, swarms of police cars and flashing lights and vacant parking lots, amid fears of bombs.
Oklahoma's earth quakes every day, and yesterday's warm spring weather with threats of tornados brought hail and turned to snow.
Unbelievers will surely scoff, but Okuspokus knows all these events could not possibly be coincidence in any sane place.
Forsooth, there are only two interpretations of Heebie Jeebies' prophecy. Yea verily, the sayer of sooths poses a choice--It is the end of time for Oklahoma, or Oklahoma is not sane.

ReplyDeleteAll Hail Okuspokus!!
ReplyDeleteAccording to "radio rabbis," tetrads are not uncommon, but all tetrad events occurring on significant Jewish feast days is--only 3 times in 600 years. Those tetrads signified disaster followed by a world-changing event. 1492--dissipation of Jews in Europe/Columbus discovered America. 1947--aliyah bet (Exodus 1947)/Israel's declaration of independence. 1967--6-day war/Israeli reclamation of Jerusalem. Some rabbis believe the current tetrad portends another holocaust--Iran will nuke Israel. But that falls short of annihilating the Jews, so others take it a step further--Iran will nuke both Israel and America. In either event, the world would never be the same thereafter. (I pray they're wrong.)
