       BRUNSWICK SHRINE
       
       In the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier there lives a bowling alley, and 
       within this very place, in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3125 
       (1959*), Eris revealed Herself to The Golden Apple Corps for the first 
       time.
       
           In honor of this Incredible Event, this Holy Place is revered as a 
       Shrine by all Erisians.  Once every five years, the Golden Apple Corps 
       plans a Pilgrimage to Brunswick Shrine as an act of Devotion, and 
       therein to partake of No Hot Dog Buns, and ruminate a bit about It 
       All.
       
           It is written that when The Corps returns to The Shrine for the 
       fifth time five times over, then shall the world come to an end:
       
                                  ...Impending doom
                                   has arrived...
       
                And Five Days Prior to This Occasion The Apostle The Elder 
           Malaclypse Shall Walk the Streets of Whittier Bearing a Sign for 
           All Literates to Read Thereof:  "DOOM," as a Warning of 
           Forthcoming Doom to All Men Impending.  And He Shall Signal This 
           Event by Seeking the Poor and Distributing to Them Precious MAO 
           BUTTONS and Whittier Shall be Known as The Region of Thud for 
           These Five Days.
       
       As a public service to all mankind and civilization in general, and to 
       us in particular, the Golden Apple Corps has concluded that planning 
       such a Pilgrimage is sufficient and that it is prudent to never get 
       around to actually going.                                        _
