"The tenth wonder of the world"
Out of interest, what are the eighth and ninth?
As a public service I thought I'd transcribe God's words on the side of the car, because you have to put the computer right up to your eyes to see them and that's inconvenient.
HOLY GHOST ENTER COME LIKE A BODY
PERFECT SIZE
Above this:
I SEE 1000'S OF VISIONS A DAY REAL SILK WITH GOD IN ME
GOD MEATS MY BODY UP LIKE ON FIRE [insert space invader] SHOOTS GUM DESEASE [you'd think God would know how to spell disease] ITS MY FACE LAUGHS IN VISIONS
I can only assume the gorilla teddy in the passenger seat is an evolution/creationism reference.
@heleninedinburgh
Some corrections:
Instead of "REAL SILK" it says "HEAL SIK".
And instead of "ITS MY FACE" it says "RIPS MY FACE".
Plus you missed "ON INTERNET" on the rear bumper.
I thought we don't make fun of the mentally ill?
That's what I got:
I see 1000's of visions a day, heal sik, with God in me.
God heats my body up like on fire, A shoots in gum desease - rips my face, laughs in visions.
Holy Ghost enters eome like a body
on internet. perfect size
@TRJ: Good point. Without wishing to play down its importance, I have to say that this fellow seems no worse than D of D with her demons everywhere. It's a thin line sometimes. If we've now found ourselves on the wrong side of it, I apologise.
That said, I still want to know what he thinks the eighth and ninth wonders of the world are.
@The Reptilian Jew
I thought we don't make fun of the mentally ill?
Is there any quotees here who aren't´?
@Pharaoh Bastethotep
Well, for one I'm pretty sure that Ken Ham, Vox Day and the like are not mentally ill, just colossally arrogant assholes.
If God existed, and decided to drive up and down the streets of Indianapolis for whatever reason, somehow I wouldn't imagine that a minivan would be his vehicle of choice. You know, like maybe he'd enter into the body of someone who drove a Ferrari or something...
Oh, great! We see this guy's vehicle from another angle.
And what's with the cute, giant Gorilla plushie? Now the car is creepier!
He should add, "I really need to see a good Psychiatric Practitioner ASAP!"
So Bob is a Holy Size Queen. Good to know.
Somehow I doubt that jeebus or Dog would choose to enter the body of a clearly mentally ill old man who creeps around Indianapolis in a dented minivan with insane scrawls all over it. It just seems to me that the Alpha & Omega would have better taste or higher standards than that.
The plush gorilla in the window is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe.
@Pink Jackboots: That's not much of a statement, if you'll recall the novel. (I have no idea if this digression was in the radio play.) Humans are naturally resistant to Vogon poetry because, in fact, the very worst poetry in existence was native to Earth.
Inexplicably it was not this van.
Pretty sure that O is a D giving you
HOLY GHOST ENTERED ME LIKE A BODY
Now it all makes perfect sense
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
