In an interview with the Associated Press, Mr. Oestreicher expressed his disappointment in the size of the banner in comparative size to the rest of the building. “When I spoke in Budapest, they wrapped the entire Mattias Church, including all of the tiny spires, in a plastic rendition of my book Youth Ministry 3.0. While I appreciate the effort the people of Bulgaria went to with the banner. They could have at least covered all of the columns.”
(made me think of the stonehenge scene in spinal tap…)

Rick Perry’s third government agency…
Is there a reason this is a banner and not a permanent sign?
#42 in Signs Marko is taking this Cartel metaphor a little too far.
polo.. must win.
” Looks great guys, but why is the Q upside down?”
When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong–let the reader understand–then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. :)
Tim, I’m thinkIng that’s probably hilarious if I had a clue what it meant.
World domination 1.0
The Year is 2020. “The Youth Cartel” officially changes its name to “The Marko Regime” and immediately invades YS and Group Publishing.
Well, at least its better than the way a dog marks his territory.

@Tim and Marko. Yay! Someone else told a joke no one understands! I’m off the hook.
The Youth Cartel confirms Mark Oestreicher as the actual prince of Bulgaria and announces his new book “The Balkan Youth Ministry.”

MARKO in town . . . girls go wild!!!
Aw man, I hate it when I’m the only one who finds my own jokes funny. Makes me feel too much like my dad…
Anyway, Marko, there are plenty of great ones already for you to choose from! Just doing my part to make the good ones stand out!
tim, standing out has won many of these things! but, dude, help me understand! i take it it’s a scriptural reference???
I thought Micah 5:4 was talking about Jesus?!

Marko attempted to keep up with Apple by opening retail stores in weird places, but all the sold was thick rimmed glasses and pictures of squirrels…
Hey Marko, yeah, it’s a direct quote from Matthew (Jesus speaking) when He’s talking about the last days. He is quoting from either Daniel or Ezekiel about the “abomination of desolation,” saying that it will be displayed in the temple, and when that happens, watch out! The end is near! As far as I know, most people don’t really know what Jesus or Daniel/Ezekiel is really referring to, but those end-times-chart-people say it’s the arrival of the infamous anti-christ setting up shop in the temple.
Now don’t kill me for spelling it out so plainly! :)
