Hey, isn't the world supposed to end tomorrow?

[EstimatedProphet]

How's that working out? Anybody know?

[Debau2005]

1. I am looking forward to an easier

commute into work tomorrow!

[kurth]

2. Minor delay - mechanical problems

[Mandate My Ass]

3. Again?

I'm surely not rapture-worthy myself but I was looking forward to the disappearance of the most obnoxious repukes a few weeks ago and nothing happened...

Jesus is coming, quick look busy.

[charlie]

15. This one isn't a rapture thing

Conservative scholars and pundits, including Bernard Lewis, are anticipating a possible Iranian strike (maybe even nuclear) against Israel. Tomorrow being the date of Mohammed's ascension to heaven and their own tea-leaf reading of current events has convinced them something big is coming. I'm sure they're as giddy as the Rapturists about it.

[EstimatedProphet]

25. I agree - that is serious

Somehow I got the impression that the religious schizophrenics were wrapped up in it though, which reduces the credibility for me.

[Mandate My Ass]

35. Yikes

I didn't know that, thanks for the update. The pseudo-religious, psychotic Armageddonists are at the controls in some of the most dangerous places in the world and they all have itchy trigger fingers. Blowing things up to prove their god has the bigger penis seems to be what they live (and die) for. Anything is possible.

[charlie]

39. Seriously, though

I don't know how much weight you can put on a conjunction of a high holy day and some overwrought rhetoric that the Iranians have been making since forever, no matter the pedigree of the bobbleheads who divined it. Conservadroids are getting a bit frantic with their Iranian doom-mongering, since the window of public acquiescence to another one of Bush's patented preemptive wars may be closing.

[EstimatedProphet]

4. I need to know...

because I don't know whether to buy lobster or gas...

[damntexdem]

30. It all depends:

what does your car run on? And what do you like for supper?

[Kutjara]

5. It better.

I've taken out huge bank loans, remortgaged my house and pawned the family silver so that I can blow all the cash on a final night of legendary debauchery.

If the world doesn't end tomorrow, I'm in serious trouble.

[Avalux]

6. It was supposed to be tomorrow.

But world events didn't quite fit their expectations, so I'm sure they'll just change the date rather than face the fact that they're nuts.

[acmejack]

7. It can't end tomorrow!

I've got a Doctor's appointment Wednesday at the VA, do you know how hard it is to get one of those? They'll just have to wait until Thursday to end the World.

[Debau2005]

10. Wouldn't it make it easier to get in?

[Ezlivin]

20. It's easier to prove Bigfoot exists than it is to get a good VA appt time

"I'd like to make an appointment," I say.

"How's Thursday sound?"

"Great!" I say with amazement.

"Okay. That's in the third week of November." Then a beat. "In 2007."

It's not really that bad, but I'm not far off.

[karlrschneider]

8. They're still working out the "carry-on" baggage rules...

[EFerrari]

9. I guess that means I have to do laundry today.

[merci_me]

26. Why? I forgot about tomorrow and just did 5 loads......

so here I sit, with all the clean towels and bedding....for what? Well, I sure as hell am not going to dust and vac before Wednesday. I may even get crazy and wait til Thursday to clean the house. Now I'm going to call and make dinner reservations for tonight, at a restaurant I only go to every few years, because of the cost and the outrageously high cholesterol menu.

[longship]

11. Tomorrow's Headlines Today

World's Homeless and Street People Mysteriously Disappear

[mcscajun]

12. Well if it does, I hope Iran nukes us early.

I'm supposed to go to work at noon.

[patrice]

13. Some of us in another thread agreed the other day that, if this IS

the Rapture, we're looking forward to all of the "Righteous" going elsewhere and leaving us alone.

[damntexdem]

32. Good riddance!

Don't let the clouds hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!

[Tanuki]

38. Hahaha!

I really did LOL at that one!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Cool! Where's the party tonight?

This is one going away party I don't want to miss!

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Good. I won't have to contend with all the students being on campus.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. I'll wear my best underwear.

Without the holes in them...

[Ezlivin]

21. End of the world? I'll wear my wife's underwear

She won't be needing them.

[Hubert Flottz]

24. You'll get in Twouble!

Jerry and Pat will piss and moan!

Edit...BTW...It looks like JHC already hauled arse! Check this out!

18. Thanks for the warning about the rupture. The Weight is the hardest part.

[IChing]

19. The world ended yesterday the reality you see now

is just a nightmare in my continued dream state which was caused by a bad dinner of
prawns and pate.

[meisje]

22. I'm going on vacation on the 1st, it better not end until the 10th!

[onethatcares]

23. awwww, shitttt

it's gonna end on my birthday??? I got no luck at all, guess I'll start drinking now.

[stop the bleeding]

27. good

less assholes around

[Pharaoh]

28. Great!

I've got tommorow off so I can watch it on CNN

[shain from kane]

34. In the event of Rapture, this camera will have no cameraman.

[damntexdem]

29. What? Not again!

I'm getting tired of the world ending time after time!

When will it all end?

[KansDem]

36. It's like that sign you see in bars, "Free Beer Tomorrow..."

You think, "yeah, right...that's cute" but then you find it annoying. That's the way I feel about all this rapture-ready divel...



Rap-ture Reddy!

Get set, get ready, here come Rap-ture Reddy.
Their talk is steady, always Rap-ture Reddy.

They think the world is full of rats,
They drive the rest of us all bats,
They're in our face like rabid gnats,
With Bush, they're Rap-ture Reddy.

[lpbk2713]

31. We need to check with Phil, the weird neighbor.

He ought to have the latest skinny.

[spanone]

33. Be sure and wear clean undies...

[northzax]

37. it don't matter

let's be honest, if all of a sudden people around me start floating to heaven, I'm gonna shit my pants anyway, you know?
