Should I Get a Bus and Go on Tour? (Best of the old Riddleblog # 6)

From the March 2011 Riddleblog, Harold Camping’s “Save the Date” Tour.

I've been thinking about going on tour to promote my own two books on eschatology (A Case for Amillennialism and The Man of Sin).

I could get a rig like this one, and use flashy graphics to announce that "No one knows the day or the hour” -- Matthew 24:36

And There Will Be Signs on the Earth -- Hal Lindsey's Mustache (Best of the Old Riddleblog # 3)

From The Old Riddleblog, February 12, 2007

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near . . . (Matthew 24:32).

One of the great eschatological questions of our age has to do with the color of Hal Lindsey's mustache. When most men hit middle age and they start getting a little gray, the mustache or the temple area is the first to go. That was the case for me. But not Hal Lindsey.

Notice that for Hal, the older he gets, the darker his mustache gets. Hmmm . . . In the first picture (left to right), taken in the early 80's, Hal's hair and mustache are dark.

But the pictures in sequence show the Hal we've come to know and love on World Net Daily, TBN, and from Christian Publishing has graying hair and a very dark mustache.

One of the Riddleblog readers sent this picture to me with the following caption:

"The man on the left, wearing a fabulous vintage chiffon-lined Dior gold lame gown over a silk Vera Wang empire waisted tulle cocktail dress, accessorized with a 3-foot beaded peaked House of Whoville hat, along with the ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz, is worried that The Da Vinci Code might make the Roman Catholic Church look foolish."

My favorite comments:

“There's no place like Rome, there's no place like Rome, there's no place like Rome...”

"To Rome, to Rome ... it's off to works we go..."

“Whoever wrote that know TOO MUCH about the fashion industry :-)”

"I suppose a scarecrow reference would be considered ad hominem. So I'll refrain. I thought that would be the strawman fallacy...”
