The day is so special that Christ has decided to shave for this. Oh the
rapture I forgot, what are we supposed to wear for this event? Is it
black tie, or casual

Hope she sticks around long enough to get her presents.
Don't worry. We won't be getting raptured.

How many years do we have to listen to this crap? How many of these fools think they know it's our final day on earth. I've been hearing that the end is coming ever since I was a child and you know - they are right. It's just happening one body at a time, one minute (or second) or whatever at a time. The earth will end if it ends and even if it's happening, we won't know if we are having an earthquake, a tornado or what hit the fan. First you tell your kids it's a bunch of bunk and then your grandkids after listening to your parents talk about how silly it is. Boring.

This end of the world nonsense is not limited to Christian fringe groups. I think a lot of people are disenchanted with life as it is and are hoping that god/aliens/asteroids or something will relieve them of their boredom.

Sigh.

It's the end of the world.

Again.
Tell me about it.

The real big one is coming up in 2012.

That's the one that has the majority of nutters all bent out of shape and maxing out the credit limits. I figure Christmas 2012 for me will be a good one. If the nutters start posting all that really neat gear in the 'Recycle Bin' on their respective forums. I'll be able to cash in for pennies on the dollar. Just in time for Christmas.

I'm saving up for 22 December 2012.

Yeah, I know.

It may be futile but I keep hoping to turn on the news one day to the lead story of an unbelieveable and inexplicable run on kool-aid in the stores. Until that day the eyes are getting a good work out what with all the rolling.

But kudos to you on your Christmas 2012 plans. That's like taking a frown and turning it upside down. :)

That happened in 2000 after the Millennium Bug thing was a no show. People started dumping all their solar panels, dehydrated food stashes, generators, and other survival gear. I know a lot of guys who built their off grid homes on the cheap around then.

BINGO!!!

That's my plan.

I do hate to profit from other peoples misfortune. But in this case I'm willing to set aside that principle, simply because they're nutters.

I hear that it will be by time zones and CNN will have live coverage in each time zone - until it reaches and passes that particular time zone. Causing a lot of job vacancies in the Live News department.

That is just plain silly. Who in their right mind would want to cover the end of the world? Personally, I want to be in the saddle of a gorgeous red head and go out with a bang.

Well you know those hard core journalists - Go to hell and back for a byline.
