i mean the word i've just made up for myself to classify a certain type ephemera i find that is linked to my nervous fascination with the End Times...

Outsider architect photo gallery of Thunder MountainTinselman posted about a bizarre survivalist compound in Imlay, Nevada dubbed Thunder Mountain.
LinkFrank Van Zant's vision was sparked when he heard the prophecy of a medicine woman: "In the final days there shall rise up a place called Thunder Mountain." She also told him that only those who lived at Thunder Mountain would survive the coming apocalypse. Van Zant wasted no time; he changed his name to Chief Rolling Thunder Mountain, moved his family to the desert in Imlay, Nevada, and began to build his monument.
At age 69 Van Zant committed suicide because he had finally completed his masterpiece.
OH- and AM 1150 listeners in Los Angeles: Those anti-drug PSA's they are playing, where one kid asks another kid "wanna get high?" or "wanna light up?" or " wanna spark up a dube?" or "wanna blow a fatty?" or somesuch?
Totally makes me want to. Everytime.
