Don't forget that only 200 million people are leaving us tomorrow, and that the rest of us sinners will have another 5 months of torment before the end end.

C'mon, let's not get too crazy....

Just be ready for that quake. It's going to be a doozy.

I'll be good & drunk, for sure, wishing I qualified for a new & perfect body. On the bright side, the kids are having a party to celebrate idiocy.

Disappointment.

Roll call: 22 May, 3:35 AM. London, England.

I'm OK. I just finished some iced buns.
Looked through the window .... no cyber punks in stripped down chassies with over-extended roll cages.
Still some hours to go before May 23rd. I'll have what might be my final cup of tea.

Some say he left us too soon; I say he left at just the right time.

if none of the 200 million people that were expecting to be beamed up didnt go, you all do realise that this can only mean that there's no true believers left in the world.

whelp, seems like I'm still alive.


for the love of god, when are we going to stop listening to these idiots? How many times can people be wrong about the world ending because of some religion-gone-wrong-soothsayer-bullshit? Why do people constantly cling to the idea that the world is going to go down in flames and some god being is going to finger us with flaming fists? when is the next one? next year, right? 2012? I think I'll cash out all my investments at the end of the year, burn my house down and run through the streets naked. what the hell, right, since we're all going to die when the Mayan calendar ends....or nostradamus claimed....or was it the flying spaghetti monster?

So, if 200 million people are "beamed up", leaving the earth, that will make the earth "lighter" by how many million pounds? Will we spin out of orbit...hmmm...what then...OH WELL..too much for my simple brain

dlish

errr... daka, the earth doesnt float. its spins. there would be little effect caused by the displacement of 200Million humans. Although, i can see your point. If matter can not be created or destroyed, that what is taking the place of the matter that was beamed up.

im assuming it a figurative beaming up, where the souls ascend the bodies stay on earth.

scotty has a lot to do in one day

The party was a lot more fun than I deserve, & we didn't even have to discuss what it was about. Sirens are going off now, though.

I spent the weekend and the Rapture getting, and staying, very drunk on a tropical beach. All I got was a little bit of a sunburn and no appreciable hangover.

You would have had the job of cleaning empty suits out of the pool's filter. I'd say it was a toss-up.

No Rapture?

Oh well, it's not the end of the world!

I dont know if I'm alone in this, but I really hate this sort of thing (same with the Large Collider thing, the Mayan prophecies, etc)

I dont BELIEVE in it, and I dont think there is any rational argument to believe in it, I dont change my life or anything like that... but I cant help but feel a tickle of fear whenever I read or hear stuff like this.

uncle phil

so, we survived?

I had a change of heart. As the wedding was at 4:00 and outdoors, it hardly seemed appropriate to wear formalwear. I wore my grey suit (the theme was grey and gold,) a good shirt, freshly shined shoes, and a classy tie that was my father's. The reception began at 6 and at each table and the bar, a beer was served that I, my brother, and the bride's brother had brewed. By 6:15, the bartenders were sending busboys to scavenge unopened bottles from the tables. I went above and beyond the call of duty and danced with bridesmaids, bride's friends, friends, and various individuals' mothers.

I was bought shots and beers, and given congratulations for my karaoke performance (this struck me as odd but I shrugged it off as either the Pennsylvanian adaptation of what we would typically southern hospitality) and did several shots with another wedding's bridesmaid and a pleasant, quick-witted fellow named ... well, I don't remember his name, but it's entirely his fault for buying me that many shots when I was already three sheets to the wind.
I am having a party for that and at midnight I will be opening a 3L bomber of Stone Double Bastard that has been aging since early this January. Bobby, if you and your wife are in the area and feel like putting up with us young whippersnappers (as I'm led to believe those of your generation refer to us,) you are invited as honored guests.
