Chick strikes again! What do I do now?

[Henry]

So, I gather this chick guy is some kind of serial killer, right? If not, this thread has set me way off.

For a better description of Jack T. Chick, visit www.chick.com . He is a religious evangelist who preaches his message through cartoon tract books. I don't want this thread to descend yet again down the road of "Chick's an expletive deleted," so the only thing I will say is reading his site will give you a pretty good picture of why most gamers can't stand him.

Hey, I find him very funny. Reading his works always gives me giggles. I mean no human can be that dumb right? He has got to be putting on an act for us. I can't wait for his world comedy tour to start.

I used to have a good collection of Jack Chick Tracts going. Great fun.

I find Chick to be a fascinating character. There's an article on him somewhere out on the net, I'll see if I can find it. He doesn't do his own art or at least he didn't for awhile. Its not like there's one guy in a closet producing this stuff.

Anyway, in regards to D&D, I always get a kick about how Jack Chick claims to have written some of it back in the early days before he found his version of God. But he found God in the late 40s after he served in World War Two (he's kind of old). Gary Gygax would have been about 10 years old. I mean, its incredibly false. This isn't even a question of perspectives, the dates don't match up.

Weird.

Hehe, you could always send it to me. I could use a good laugh now and then.

No, send it to me!!! I will fight any enworlder to the death for yummy chick-y goodness... oh wait, I already have The Beast, carry on....

best thing on him is the copy of The Imp done up as a giant chick tract. wonderful analysis of him work and the great theory that its basically pornography but with a spiritual rather than sexual payoff....

So I picked up the mail today, meaning Monday, and I get this letter with my name and address written on it with a black marker. Mysteriously there is no return address and the postmark is nothing but a bunch of black lines, conveniently hiding the city of origin.

So I opened it up and what did I find inside but The Beast, by J.T.C. Yes, folks Jack Chick has found me! What do I do? I figure I have to move at the very least, maybe change my name. Is entering the witness protection program going to far?

So what do I need to do and what should I do? My life depends on it.

Heck with a suspicious looking package like that I probably would have called Homeland Security

My wife used to have that problem. She would check out her boards at work. One of them even had a link at the top of the page that said PANIC and clicking on it would bring up a screenshot from Excel. Very cool.

<announcer> Oh, The judges have just over-ruled the Game Show host, so here now comes the stage manager will to shove a hungry, hyper-caffinated wolverine down his pants. That's got to smart! While our host tries to out run security, let's take a break and hear from our sponsors at ENworld!

Quickly our host pulls out his ancient Marvel Noprize he got as teenage and waves at the wolverine who fades into a four color ink spot on the stage manager hand.
