For the party, of course.
Published on June 4, 2006 By Larry Kuperman In Current Events
Hell, Michigan is planning a 666 celebration, be sure to make your reservations. I mean, you wouldn't want the party in Hell to start without you...

If you think that no one has a worse sense of humor than me, well check this out:
********************************************************************
"Nobody is more fired up than John Colone, the town's self-styled mayor and owner of a souvenir shop.

"I've got `666' T-shirts and mugs. I'm only ordering 666 (of the items) so once they're gone, that's it," said Colone, also known as Odum Plenty. "Everyone who comes will get a letter of authenticity saying you've celebrated June 6, 2006, in Hell."

Most of Colone's wares will sell for $6.66, including deeds to one square inch of Hell."

Quotes from the CNN Article linked.

If you are in the Michigan area on Tuesday, you should stop by. After all, you can be the first on your block to go to Hell....and return.

i surely don't, dammit.   among my most pleasant memories of living in michigan are those involving expedtions to hell (usually from what was then an outpost campsite at crooked lake); the best of those were always in early june. 

where else can ya go to catch smallmouth outta a stream running right thru town and then take a short walk and check out a spooky mystery house where gravity's laws were routinely violated?

on  the other hand, hell may have gone to hell in a handbasket.  if there's a mcdonalds there, keep it from me please.

I saw the mayor of Hell on CNN. Daryn Kagan asked him, "What's a cold day in Hell like?" The mayor said, "Pretty cold, actually. We hold our elections when Hell freezes over."
