Gay Pride Killed Portland Today And Now We Are All Dead

Violet and I moved all of her studio stuff out of the garage this weekend and in to her new fancy studio space in NW Portland. We rented us a U-Haul truck, packed it full of fabric, sewing machines, 14 immigrant workers, and spent all day Saturday unloading it to the 3rd floor of her building. The new studio / office / showroom is in this great building, just 15 blocks away from my work place. It's a whole new start for her blossoming children's clothing line business, and I'm really happy she has her own space to work. I'm sure being in the garage puts a bit of a damper on the creative spirit.

Anyway, this morning I was looking up some info on the Portland Gay Pride parade, which was scheduled on Sunday (today), to find out if it would effect our route to her building. We had a few more things to get moved today, so we packed up the truck with some furniture and more fabric to spend a few hours getting things a bit more set up for business. On the Internet, the Portland Mercury had some disturbing news. We're all going to die today. At least, according to some quack pastor at some kooky church in Salem, Oregon. Salem, most of you will remember, is formerly of The Catholic School Girls fame, and now is of Bill Niese Lawyer-Fu fame.

The actual proclamation is rather long-winded, but here's how the Portland Mercury broke it down:
1. In June 18, 2006, there will be a Gay Pride Parade in Portland, Oregon.
2. This Gay Pride Parade will bring the judgment of God to Portland.
3. At June 18, 2006, there will be a huge earthquake happen in Portland area, the earthquake will cause a collapse of Bonneville Dam. A wall of water will flood and destroy Portland.
4. There will be another earthquake happen in the West Coast, cause a Tsunami and the Tsunami will go to Portland from Columbia River. So Portland will be flooded also by the Tsunami. (Portland is about 50 miles away from the sea coast.)
5. There will be a team of terrorists, who will bring automatic weapons (machine guns) and kill as many survivors as they can after the disaster. They kill people before the National Guard will arrive there.
6. Portland and the nearby Willamette Valley will be destroyed.
7. God urge the Christians to leave that area.

By some miracle, we are still here and alive. Praise be to Jebus. His fatness is still on the table.

One last thing. A happy Father's Day to me and all the other father-types out there. My father's day was actually pretty cool. The girls let me sleep in, take a shower, they made me breakfast with coffee, and then I got to set my drums back up in the garage, which have been sorely needing some playage time for many, many months now. I got to swill a couple pints down at the Lucky Lab, while hanging with Mia & Cannon. We ate a bowl of peanuts, a cookie, and played silly dancing games for much of the afternoon. Good day to be a dad.
