   Now there must be something more cryptic to this that some of us are in the dark over. Is it a movie that’s due to be released soon? Does it have anything to do with a Steely Dan song? The song Ninieteen about the Vietname War by Paul Hardcastle? Are you referring to the new Studio One 19 PC by Dell? Are we waxing lyrically about prime numbers, perhaps specifically about the seventh Mersenne prime exponent or the smallest Higgs prime for squares and cubes that has an index among Higgs primes that is less than its index among primes overall (because 17 is not a Higgs prime)?

   Are we discussig the number of Angels that guard Hell according to the Qur’an or is there something dark and sinister about Indiana, the 19th state of the union?

   Now I know you’re not a sports fan so we can’t be thinking about the numbers retired by the Detroit Red Wings, New York Islanders or Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.

   You just have to be more specific than throwing out some meaningless statement Midnight because some of us have absolutely no idea what the frack you’re talking about.

   I may not be talking about any frackin’ thing in particular (though I probably am), but I’m curious to find out what goes through your mind when you see the statement, “Day 19 is coming soon”.

   Is it a good thing? A bad thing? A thing at all?

   If you saw it on a hand-drawn poster, walking down a street, what would you think? Or would it just come across as mindless mental static?

   I thnk Zombie Holocaust actually. That was what crossed my mind. I was thinking, yeah right, Day 3 you start showing signs of skin dying, Day 11 you can’t be in the light, Day 13 your body starts to shut down, Day 18 you die, Day 19, it’s undead Zombie Holocaust!!!

   “Is there something dark and sinister about Indiana, the 19th state of the union?”

   And the answer is ‘Hell Yeah’…for staters the pops are known as ‘Hoosiers’…how evil is that? There is also a town there called ‘Speedway’ which shows very little imagination as I believe that there is some sort of racetrack there.

   And M@M, as for Day 19 even through direct questioning I still have no idea what the frack you are talking about…

   I got it…I finally got it…it’s taken years for me to realise that M2M is a Baha’is. And as we all know the Badi Faith is within the period known as the 19 day fast which ends on 20 March (which is a Friday). This all makes sense. M2M is going to quit smoking on the weekend but at the moment he is smoking to surpress his apetite during his fast. 21 March is new years day on the Badi calender and M2M must be quitting as his new years resolution.

   Stark Raving, did the you know there is a place here in Oregon called Wanker’s Corner. I kid you not.

   Apparently they used to sell t-shirts with a kangaroo extracting peanuts from his pouch with the phrase – Grab Your Nuts at Wanker’s Corner….true story.

   I will be prepared once I’ve packed my spare socks, undies and wooden stakes….oh that’s right – only good for Vampires not so much for freakin zombies… I have visions that Day 19 is the day that they release the inhabitants from the Telstra call centres and they flood shopping centre food halls around the country crying out “foooooood”

   ….and then come to screeching halt as young Jensen at the Aporta counter requests their order ticket…. much groaning and mumbling and fumbling for the ticket that does not exist.

   Okay, I guess I should round this post out. Just to explain — while I was driving to work one day I ended up following a car with a license plate that said “DAY19″. This got me thinking about what “Day 19 is coming” might mean, probably along the same lines as Dave “Fear The Impending Zombie Apocalypse” Creature there, though I imagined a lot of other scenarios as well.

   I liked Stark Raving’s suggestion that I might have been referring to my Father’s birthday, 19th March, but I was actually just curious to know what the Voodoonista would make of it.

   Please feel free to keep the conversation going if any other cool ideas pop up.
