New feature for Spooktacular?

[lcummins]

Stumbled across a new RSS feed by accident, called "Criswell Predicts"... looks like it might be something leading up to Spooktacular, but right now, both entries have the same video from Comic-Con...

Do you actually spend time trying to "stumble" onto this stuff?

 

[RoboDad]

I can't see anything at either of those links. I just get a "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria" error.

I could see it before, but its gone now.

No... I was just updating my RSS reader and found the new feed.

That usually indicates we found something before we were supposed to!

I found it to, very interesting indeed.
Have you read any of Criswell's predictions. Fascinating, bizarre and some
that just make you laugh. https://www.criswellpredicts.com/criswell_predicted.htm

Maybe they're replacing the Mistress of the Web with Criswell.

The End of the World

The end of the world, it is written in Criswell Predicts, will take place Wednesday, Aug. 18, 1999. That day, every point on earth will be covered by a black rainbow—not just any black rainbow, mind you, but "a jet-black rainbow; an ebony rainbow; a black rainbow which will signify the coming suffocation of our world. This black rainbow will seemingly bring about, through some mysterious force beyond our comprehension, a lack of oxygen. It will draw the oxygen from our atmosphere, as a huge snake encircling the world and feeding upon the oxygen which we need to exist. Hour after hour, it will grow worse. And we will grow weaker. It is through this that we will be so weakened that when the final end arrives, we will go silently, we will go gasping for breath, and then there will be only silence on the earth."

i don't know if this is true but on another board, a guy said that spooktacular's contests last year sucked because a few people won several contests. he felt it unfair and that one person should only be able to win one contest. true?

True! Kurgans win everything!

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah that was pretty good.

Sideshow contests used to be wide open and you could win as many as you could enter, but then, some people won a lot of stuff during Comic Con and Spooktacular (I'm sorry... really!) and apparently people complained, and Sideshow changed it to "only win once", but that usually means "per day" and I don't think they have enforced the "once per event" rule yet. If you enter every contest they run during something like Spooktacular and Comic Con and Toy Fair, and hang out in the Official Chat 24/7, you are bound to win at least once if not more! There are also contests held on the Freaks board every once in a while, so there are plenty of chances to win. I don't see why people complain about someone winning more than once if the winners are truly picked at random by the computer; otherwise, what happens is people stop entering contests waiting for one with a big prize or something...

When the earth is destroyed on August 18, 1999, these space colonists will be the only Earth-humans left in the Universe.

8/18/1999? Huh.....missed the whole thing

 

[The Mike]

I predict that our own United States will in the future be swept by the popular clouds of an aphrodisiacal fragrance. ... This aroma will fill every man and woman who inhales it with uncontrolled passion. It will be sold at first "underground" like LSD or STP today. But it will soon become easily available. ...

I predict that the sex urge will advance rapidly and many men will flagrantly expose themselves in public. Grandfathers will be accused of seducing their granddaughters and uncles will be jailed under similar crimes. Women will begin to think more of their appearance and they will have new hair styles, more attractive clothing and will use more cosmetics than ever before. [T]he driving sex urge will eventually cause orgies even greater than those of decadent Rome during the reign of the unmentionable Caesars. ... In Los Angeles, California, particularly Hollywood, sex acts will be performed openly, unashamedly on the streets. I predict that this will be difficult to control, for even the members of the law enforcement agencies will be dominated by the powerful cloud of aphrodisiac. Many cases of incest will be reported.

I predict a wealthy San Francisco attorney will announce his marriage to his mother and a Hollywood producer will openly declare his daughter is going to bear his child, and a young man in Arkansas will ask to be legally wed to his pet cat. ...

Date of the aphrodisiacal era: May 1, 1988, to March 30, 1989

Missed this too...

I predict that scientists from all over the world will be called upon to help but no one will be able to offer relief for they will not be able to conquer this terrible force, this mysterious force from outer space. Gradually, as conditions ease survivors will be evacuated but this will become a dead city and will never again be reborn. I predict this unfortunate community will be a victim of elements beyond our control and will always be remembered until the end of time. I predict the name of the city will be Denver, Colorado. The date: June 9, 1989

Thought I had read something about this.....

I predict the assassination of Fidel Castro by a woman, on August 9, 1970.

Someone forgot to tell him.

Las Vegas, Nevada, March 10, 1990: The very first Interplanetary Convention will be held in the new Convention Center on the famed Strip with colony citizens of Mars, Venus, Neptune and the Moon in full representation; Governor Sawyer will make the opening welcome address.

Ah....the MVNs....I got it.

Meteor Destroys London: 1988 (p. 79)
London, England, will be the target of this heartless killer from outer space. The meteor will strike in a heavily populated sector of London and will hit with unprecedented force, rocking the earth for hundreds of miles and slightly shifting the position of the earth. Shocks will be felt as far away as Paris, Lisbon, Denmark, Australia, India, China, South Africa, South America, and Washington, D.C. I predict that the once proud city of London will be a tomb of death. Entire slum areas will be completely wiped out. Date: October 18, 1988.

So that is what happened to London

I predict that Kansas will become the most important state in the United States, due to the moving of the Federal capital from Washington, D.C., to Wichita. The broad plains and prairies will be a roof above multi-story government buildings, constructed wholly underground. The largest airports in the world will be constructed in Kansas to serve the needs of the new capital of the United States

Go Kansas!

I predict that South Dakota will become the first state to legalize prostitution and the sale of marijuana. I predict that a group of ruthless men will control the state government of South Dakota in the late 1970s and their open traffic in prostitution and drugs will cause repercussions throughout the country

Moving to South Dakota....



This looks like with all of these outlandish predictions that SSC is really gonna have some fun this Spooktacular
