"...a disaster of really Biblical proportions..."

[Ilsa]

VENKMAN (ignores him)
... or you can accept the fact that this
city is heading for a disaster of really
Biblical proportions.

MAYOR
What do you mean "Biblical?"

VENKMAN
Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. "Wrath of
God"-type stuff. The seas could boil, fire
and brimstone falling from the sky ...

STANTZ
(chimes in)
... forty years of darkness, earthquakes,
mass hysteria, human sacrifice, dogs and cats
living together...

MAYOR
Enough! I get the point.
(really torn)
But what if you're wrong?

VENKMAN
If I'm wrong then nothing happens and you
toss us in the can. But if I'm right, and
if we can stop this thing ... well, let's
just say that you could save the lives of a
lot of registered voters.

Just something I happened to think of to lighten the mood.

1. all this is already happening

... forty years of darkness, earthquakes,
mass hysteria, human sacrifice, dogs and cats
living together...

2. I do want that phrase left out of media coverage - we've got enough

God in our faces - don't need to bring the bible into this as well

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

6. I use that figure of speech myself, along with

saying spectacular car chases are "out of action movies". I see no problem in finding similarities between reality and fiction.

7. I understand ... I dislike using 'of Biblical proportions,' which we can't

document, or The Holocaust, which we can document, as overused descriptive qualifiers for modern day catastrophes. To me there's just no comparison.

3. Let's Give The Phelps Family A Holiday...

Let's Give Preacher Phelps and the rest of his Westboro Baptist flock a free holiday downstream from New Orleans tonight and Monday night! If he's going to be talking about the Old Testament, he can familiarize himself with what an O.T. event ought to look like.

:evilgrin:

5. Let's tie them to the sea wall or levy.

I love the way you think. :evilgrin:

[Vogon_Glory]

8. Actually, I'm Against The Tying Part...

Actually, I'm against the tying part. Let's let fools of that stripe reap the consequences of their own self-will run riot. I think the Phelps bunch would be out on the levy by their own volition trying to imitate the guy who stilled the waters--without that guy's success.

4. Good Movie

You could fill in their mayor with our *.
Would * listen to the warnings of his citizens?

[htuttle]

9. Yes, it's true

This man has no dick.

10. Damn! There goes my zinger!

But I was going to substitute "Bush" for "Man" :)
