Hey dRoss, I just finished eating up the brussels sprouts... why don't you pass this way? Say within about a hundred miles even... it's Xmas tradition: celebrating the 'passing' of Jack the 'Ripper.' Hope you have a great one. Don't just lay still too long like King Druss last Xmas.. he fell down, lay there with his legs in the air... next thing he knew someone was pouting gravy all over him, and saying 'that's the pope's nose?.. sheeit..'

dRoss, I heard you've been busy but this is a bit... like yourself God Fails to Appear as Promised by Texas Sect of TBirdists By Anonymous HOWDYLAND, Texas (Rooters) - The flying saucer spiritualists turned on and tuned in, but God didn't show up. A 150-member TBird spiritual sect which recently moved to the Dallas suburb of Howdyland had predicted God would appear on television immediately after midnight on Wednesday morning (0600 GMT) to announce that he would descend to earth next week. But there was no sign of the heavenly television broadcast that the sect's leader, Won Hung-Low, had predicted would be visible on Channel 18 on any television set in the United States. A contrite Low quickly emerged from his suburban home in Howdyland to tell scores of reporters that he had been wrong and that they could now discount his prediction that God would show up here at 10 a.m. (1600 GMT) on March 31. "Since God's appearance on television has not been realized, you can take what we have preached as nonsense," Low said through an interpreter. "I would rather you don't believe what I say any more." But he said he continued to communicate with God and that he still believed God would descend to earth to save hundreds of millions of people from a nuclear holocaust in 1999 by taking them to another planet in flying saucers. Low, known to his followers as dRoss, suggested that God decided not to make the broadcast on Wednesday in order to test his loyalty further. "God has communicated to me that if I want to take the responsibility of preaching his gospel, I have to have the courage to face the scoffing and laughter of people," he said. Believing Low's predictions that God would appear in human form at home at 2001 Buttfarm Drive in Howdyland, the sect members moved en masse to this quiet, middle-class suburb late last year and bought up more than two dozen shacks. Mostly from King Dross, president of Boiler Room Discount Brokerage. Low, or dRoss, said early on Wednesday that his followers were free and could return to reality if they chose, but he said he would continue his studies in Texas and that others would probably remain with him. There had been fears that Low and his followers might commit suicide if God did not show up on March 31, much like the Heaven's Gate cult members who committed mass suicide in San Diego last year to ride to heaven on a spacecraft they believed was hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet. But Low said suicide was not an option for group members, as he needed to collect overdue fees, especially those not paid to him by God. While it was not immediately clear what the cultists would do next, some said their faith in God -- and Teacher Low -- was as firm as ever. "I know God will show his great power very soon. I have been following Teacher Low for four years and I know many things he has said will be proved and we will have the answer," said one follower, Lee the Hick. He was trailed closely behind by another follower who gave his identity only as M.B., exhorting people to 'Wake up and smell the cabbage.' He said he would stay in Howdyland a while longer and he still expected God to appear, either on March 31 or soon thereafter. "In a few days, or one or two weeks, we will have the answer from God," Lee said. Teacher Low preaches that the earth has been corrupted by evil and will suffer a "Great Tribulation" of economic crisis and devastating floods in Asia next year and finally a nuclear war that will leave Earth uninhabitable. He says God will, however, take anyone who is prepared to repent their sins on flying saucers to a planet in another galaxy, where they will live forever in the Kingdom of God. Teacher dRoss is also a great imbiber of TBird, the "spiritual wine."
