I just wanted to bid farewell to DU - it was nice knowing you all

[LynneSin]

I mean the world is ending tomorrow!!!

[Turbineguy]

1. Thanks.

see you on Saturday!

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. See you on the other side. (I suspect it looks a lot like this one). n/t

[WhoIsNumberNone]

3. I wouldn't worry too much about it

The world ends on a Thursday. Take that Mayans.

[Aristus]

5. This is Thursday? I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

And now the world is going to end. Can anybody help me hitch a ride to another planet?

[onehandle]

4. I wish the Mayan President would just tell us what's going to happen.

Oh, wait...

[Submariner]

27. It's my understanding it's gonna get warm tomorrow

[darkangel218]

6. I stuffed myself with ice cream and bananas just in case

That's all I had for breakfest and lunch. Also tonite I'm going to have pasta rigatoni and beer Bring it on Mayans!

[WCGreen]

7. Bummer!

[nolabear]

8. I picked a fine week to give up drinking.

Oh wait. I didn't. Here's to the End of the World as we Know it!

[pipi_k]

9. Holy shit...literally!!!!

Don't know why it didn't connect before, but I've had the Mayan Calendar in my bathroom for the past 7 years after we inherited some ceramic thingies done by my MIL when she died.

Every time we...or anyone else...took a poo, we were looking at our ends!

[LynneSin]

11. Can i have a show of hands of those who didn't want that much details

[Bucky]

36. That's an Aztec calendar. Their world doesn't end until 1513.

Ha ha. That was a conquistador-brings-them-small-pox joke.

[Aerows]

39. I believe they are the same with

the 52 sheafs of years as the designation of those little blocks. It's been a hell of a long time though since I read up on that, though, and I wasn't a particularly inspired student.

[siligut]

10. Isn't there a stipulation that involves a virgin to be sacrificed or something?

Who is in charge of this stuff anyway?

12. You know I never really thought of replacing my white cotton undies...

with a crustacean. That looks to be a painful substitution!

[siligut]

15. Asian art

[LynneSin]

16. Crustreans imply crabs

And there is nothing erotic about having crabs you know where

[AnneD]

17. She doesn't look too upset about having crabs....

but then again, when you are about to be sacrificed, that puts everything else in perspective.

[Aerows]

41. I don't know

If the choice were between bugs as underwear, I'd be the commando queen for life.

[AnneD]

44. Slap me silly....

and call me Rambo, I'm with you.

[Aerows]

40. I know

Eww. That was my first thought upon looking at that. Actually, I looks like a bug, like a hissing cockroach or something. Heebee-jeebees.

[TrogL]

21. ...and you're going to find one where??

When it was announced that Diana was going to marry Prince Charles, some fat, red-faced uncle of hers got on national TV to announce "the girl is a virgin", which totally creeped me out (how would he know??) and caused some announcer to quip "a virgin in England?? Who knew??"

[pokerfan]

24. A disaster of biblical proportions....

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes… the dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.

[Bucky]

35. I suspect the only virgins involved in your post are the artists of those masturpieces.

Oops, spelling error.

[Aerows]

42. LMAO

me too.

[leftyohiolib]

13. thought this was another goodbye cruel world letter, would have been today's 2nd

[hfojvt]

14. It is!!!!

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Hey, we might all end up on the other side together! Bye!

[BarackTheVote]

19. That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes and airplanes--

And I feel fine

[AnneD]

20. So if.....

the world does not end tomorrow, will it be because there are no virgins left for the sacrifice? And why, btw is it always female virgins being depicted?

[Raven]

22. What time? I've got things to do and

people to see tomorrow and I guess I should clean the house.

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

23. Not just what time, but what timezone???

Isn't it the 21st already in Japan and Australia?

Maybe the world already ended and we missed it. Strange, I expected it to be more like Meta...

[DFW]

25. Oh, that

Don't worry. That's a just an early Nabisco reject for the Oreo design on their cookies.

[trof]

26. Can I have your car?

If it's a decent car.

[LynneSin]

30. It's a Subaru Legacy

It's 10 years old but only 92k miles. That good enough for you?

[trof]

32. YEAH! Bet I can get $2500 on ebay.

THANKS!

[bluedigger]

28. Carpe Per Diem!

[trof]

33. Damn, I love that.

Thanks.

[sarge43]

29. Oh. Is that it?

I thought it would be something important like the Lounge Mud Spa was closed or we couldn't talk about Meta anymore.

[In_The_Wind]

31. So long. I'll miss you.

Rumor has it that things are [URL=http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/Freebird1/odds_and_ends/?action=view¤t=23.gif][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Bucky]

34. Another skeptic. You'll see. You'll ALL see!!!

[truegrit44]

37. What I'm wondering about

my husband just read that 20% of the Chinese believe this will happen and 12% of Americans also believe it to be true!
Now I would love to know what these believers are doing today or for the past year or so that they may have believed it?

What would you being doing if you really believed it?

[annabanana]

38. Not to Worry, guys.. lookee here:

[hlthe2b]

43. By happenstance I located my silver mayan calendar pendant after a recent move....

I hadn't seen it in more than twenty years, lost almost immediately after buying it on a trip to Mexico.

So, that ought to mean we have 20 years stored away, right? I mean it hasn't seen the light of day for probably 20 years and it had the tarnish to prove it.

All I know is there was probably enough silver in it that I could have gotten a few $$ for it... So if the world ends and I missed my chance, I'll be really pissed.

I think I'll wear it in the meantime... for good luck?

See ya'll on the other side.
