    Celebrating the apocalypse

    So, in case you haven't heard.... Tomorrow the world is ending. Or at least so says a small group of umm... "scholars" who have calculated the date of the apocalypse to be May 21, 2011.

    Unfortunately, it must have been a slow news day somewhere, and this got into the international news media, and all of a sudden a few cracked pots who normally wouldn't even be given the time of day, are now front page headlines.

    Oh well... I figured, if you can't beat 'em.... Join 'em. So to celebrate the looming doomsday, I designed an "I survived" T-shirt that I can start wearing from May 22nd (if all goes well) .... Anyway, in case anyone wants to see the design... I thought I'd share with the rabble. :-) (Maybe I should have put this into "humour" instead)...

    Well, that's sweet!! I do want one, but I'm saving my money. I'm having an end-of-the-world party with the pirate crew of the Ill Repute. We're going camping, in full garb, on Saturday. That's my way of greeting the Rapture!

    I so wish I'd had more notice! I would love to have one of these. Now I'll probably not go to the Rapture because I have nothing to wear

    Actually, someone had a good idea for a prank... On Saturday, arrange some of your clothes on the sidewalk near your house. (Would even be funnier if it were an "I survived" shirt)... lol. Too bad I cant get it shipped to me in time. I'd so take pictures and post them! :-)

    That's just too good, CDNSushi.

    And I think I'll have to get a shirt like that.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    The other day a lady from down the street asked me what my plans were for the "Rapture." I'm pretty sure she not only believes it's going to happen, but truly hopes for it. I told her simply "I came into the world fat, bald-headed, naked, screaming and covered in goo. Dammit, that's how I'm going out too." Hopefully she never speaks to me again.

    Hope you don't mind someone else using this one; because I am most certainly stealing it. I have a group of apartments down the road that has several folks that seem to go on a tour once a month to talk to everyone about their plans for rapture. Now I feel I have a truly proper response.

    Skippys list item #39. Not allowed to ask for the day off due to religious purposes, on the basis that the world is going to end, more than once.
    That said, if I see anyone just spontaneously vaporize, I'll buy a six pack.

    That's a good one.

    Don't forget the artificial hips, knees, etc, they don't rapture. Organ transplants... Depends who it came from...

    All that stuff is going to be out on the sidewalk along with the clothes and jewelry (referring to CDNSushi's post on prank).
