Is Ender a Mormon? If not will he burn forever more?
If so will a bunch of murders mean he is to burn forever more?

As the post above has become an object of religious pilgrimage, I have resolved to set up shop closest to it and offer cheap figurines, lockets, and velvet paintings commemorating your visit to this thread. For $9.95, for example, you can purchase a tasteful keychain depicting a stylized Ender twisted inside beaten copper "flames;" $14.95 gets you the version with the mother-of-pearl seagull, embossed with a single reverent question mark.

Rest assured that I hold this thread in the highest respect.

I can't say as I'm interested in anything that I see--it always seems to me that religion plus merchandizing equals Capitalist Cult. Having said that, Tom, can you validate my parking?

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

You people have NO RESPECT FOR SACRED THINGS. None.

May Ender have mercy upon your souls.

It looks like this thread needs a good cleansing.

**Trogdor the Burninator, ageless keeper of the Ender Burning thread, has kept silent vigil of this thread for close to 500 years. **

**Strangely, he hears sounds close to him. He cracks his stone encrusted eyes open to see those defiling the sacred shrine that is the Ender Burning thread.**

**Turning his head, he regards Tom Davidson, Caleb, Chade and other assorted peasants, buying trinkets and other merchandise at this holy site.**

**Soon, Trogdor's rage turned to white hot fury. **

And then, he laid them all to burnination.

So is it okay to post in this thread now?

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :

No.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Dang.

*Sees the high customer traffic to Tom's shop*

*Opens porn shop next door*

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

There goes the neighborhood. See, all it takes it one lousy religion moving in and the next thing you know, there is porn on the corner.

Oh, and Tom, every party has a pooper.

Posted by Chade Fallstar (Member # 5581) on :

There's porn now? That wasn't there before. I'll have to pick some up as a souvenir for my roommmate.

Posted by Caleb Varns (Member # 946) on :

Don't look at me. I'm just trying to get my parking validated so I can get out of here before the Spankmistress and her High Bumpers/Bumbperesses can sick the Burning Ender inquisition on me.

I am a little interested in that shop across the way, though... seems more like a religion that you could really get your hands on.

Posted by NoSaint (Member # 4087) on :

What are you people talking about?

Of course he's going to burn in hell for all eternity. He's not a Mormon. As any good Mormon knows full well, those who do not follow the Mormon faith are damned to hell forever. What I don't understand is, how can Card write so many books praising these fictional characters that he think would burn in hell, were they real? The only way he could think otherwise is if he weren't really a Mormon, but we all know he is.

What a dilemma! [Wall Bash]

::Opens up a Starbuck's across the street::

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :

No, he isn't.

But I've got Blondes, good and evil.

Pick up your copy today. Hustler gave it 3 used tissues in their review.

I'll take it!

virgin sacrifices help with the corn harvest.

Posted by Caleb Varns (Member # 946) on :

I suppose you're volunteering?

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

*opens Starbucks next to existing Starbucks*

these things are everywhere.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Yay! I found it. This goes along with Eriks "You have not been elected high bumper" thread that he bumped. [Wink]

It's not funny unless you read this, the companion thread.

[ROFL]

Ralphie said (in the thread that Tom linked to above):

This is a serious problem.
How do we keep it's beauty and virginity, and yet not lose it to the unfeeling void of Hatrack oblivion?

Who knew that she was such a poet?

I find it interesting none of the virgins worried about being sacrificed didn't take the quick way out.

It's been almost 6 months without a new starbucks!

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

This was during my hiatus, I missed it. [Big Grin]

Thanks for bumping.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

*opens a 7/11*

just as bad as Starbucks. One on every street corner.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

As requested by Narnia:

Bump.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

We have no 7/11s in Prescott.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Now all this thread needs is a Curves For Women. Since I started paying attention, I haven't been in a town with a population over 1,000 that didn't have one.

Posted by Shardok (Member # 6247) on :

*looks around. Opens a curves for Men stor*

We all need a little equality. :-)

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Ralphie would be so proud of us for keeping this piece of history on the front page, building no less than 4 Starbucks, a Curves for Women, a 7-11...

And a Carl's Junior. (Hey. You gotta have BURGERS!!)

I don't think we have one of those in Prescott either, but I'm really not in a position to know.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Is it okay to post here yet?

Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :

I've vowed never to post here.

Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :

Since I wasn't on hatrack back for this original post and have only the vaguest sense of what this is about, there's only one thing I can do. Declare the whole thing "retro" and try to cash in on the nostalgia of others.

I'll be hosting "I Love The Ender Burning??? Thread" on VH1 this weekend. Be sure to tune in.

--Enigmatic

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Yes!! [Smile]

We really do need our own VH1 show. It'll be called "When _______ ruled Hatrack."

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

How about a Behind the Scenes....I will do the one on K.A.M.A, the sex android...

Perhaps THAT one should be called "Under the Sheets" instead.. [Smile]

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

This is very......interesting......

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

*shows up and unionizes the Starbucks workers*

Posted by ShadowPuppet (Member # 8239) on :

wow...starbucks, porn, and a 7/11

*opens a head shop*

what else was I supposed to do?

Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :

After the VH1 special on "Ender Burning???" we'll start a thread for discussion of the VH1 special. Then I'll be back on VH1 next month with a retrospective on the hatrack thread about the VH1 special about the Ender Burning??? thread, co-hosted by whatever teen starlet or popsinger just barely stopped being popular at the time.

The good new is that Mormons don't believe in a burning hell. The bad news is that if you want to be left alone in hell, the Mormons will come and visit you anyway.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

So it really IS Hell.
