Oh, I get it. You are assisted by hermaphroditic dinosaurs. That explain so much!

Think so? I thought it was pretty well written. I liked the rapid fire puns and nonsense associations. The breathless over-dramatic style was well suited to the complete stupidity of the plot.
I also thought it had a second, deeper level of humor (if you want to call it "deep," I guess), in that the story has a bit of fun with Biblical language. The language of Biblical prophecy (especially Revelation) is always heavily symbolic and things are never what they say they are. I mean, it talks about Jesus killing people with a sword that shoots out of His mouth while he rides a horse out of the sky. It sounds totally tripped-out... if you take it as a literal description. If you take it as symbols describing something that
cannot be described literally, it makes sense. Soo... This "prophet" has a vision of God calling forth Disco and Punk to cause a catastrophe that ends with a new order being established by the Last Man Standing... Lots of stuff that makes no literal sense... I'm left whimsically musing "What is the
real meaning of the sharpened keytar? Who is the Disco Warrior and how will we recognize him when he appears?"
Meh, that angle's probably only fun if you're me, but I thought it was fun to hear a faux prophecy written in faux prophetic language. That hits a couple of different buttons.
