What to do on May 22? (you know, the day after "the end of the world")

[Taverner]

[HopeHoops]

1. I'm going to spend the ENTIRE day having sex.

:evilgrin:

That's what I do after EVERY "judgment day".

[wtmusic]

2. Par-tay. nt

[Cleita]

3. Hmm. May 22nd is payday. I guess I will go shopping

the next day. Maybe I will get a mani-pedi since I will probably earn a little extra that month.

[sufrommich]

4. Hopefully, enjoying the stuff left behind by the believers.

:woohoo:

[randr]

5. I am going to gather all the possessions of everyone who was raptured

and have a huge yard sale.

[Taverner]

6. Oooh! Save me an iPod!

Wipe it, though

I'd rather not have Sandi Patti on it thank you very much...

[Paper Roses]

7. I'll be work on my veggie garden. No flowers this year.

I'll be planting veggies in those spots where I used to plant flowers. Might be strange to some people but I have a small yard.

Too early for some things but I can get my sprouting potatoes in. So much for the Petunia's and other pretty flowers.

I'll wave to the rapture folks as they fly by.

[Zephie]

8. I think I'll go out for tacos that day

Everyone likes a taco after surviving the apocalypse.

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. celebrate my daughter Melanies birthday

even the end of the world will not keep me from that!

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. I am making friends like mad with all my soon to be raptured neighbors

because I just heard they will be raptured up with NO clothes either.
So I will promise to take care of their houses, cars, clothes and pets for just a small one time fee of 100.00 per family.
In this area, I will be RICH!!!

Bwaaaaahaaahaa!

[dems_rightnow]

11. Is this a different end of the world?

It's not the one I've got on my calendar. Dammit.

[Taverner]

15. The "Family" Radio Station - which I find to be ironic

I mean Christianity is so "family" focused :eyes:

You are supposed to hate your parents and everyone around you (they call it "the world" as in "worldly woman" as an insult), but you're also supposed to love them so much you can't help but PREACH BATSHIT CRAZY SHIT AT THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!!!

No, I put channel blockers on all of the religious stations. I don't want MY kids watching that shit!

[zbdent]

12. well, for one thing ...

I doubt that I will be moving into any large mansions formerly occupied by the uber-wealthy ...

[dems_rightnow]

13. Buy it the week before.

For $1,000. They'll laugh at how they're screwing you.

[zbdent]

18. Nah, I'll just have them sign it over to me and have the transaction papers notarized

so that I take possession 5/22 ...

[Redford]

28. lol

that was funny!

[walldude]

14. Yeah on the 22nd we'll have to hear how their prayers

saved the world.... again.

For some odd reason they keep talking about this Judgement Day like they can't wait for it to get here yet when it doesn't come they brag about how their prayers stopped it. Seems kinda... hypocritical to me.

[Taverner]

16. Are they already building up that bullshit?

OMG talk of an invisible, non-detectible dragon (Carl Sagan's brilliant analogy) in-fucking-deed

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. December 20, 2012 is the end of the world according to 2012 survivalists

[Pisces]

21. I thought it was Dec. 21, 2012???

[cutlassmama]

31. @ 11:11 a.m. on that day

[Liberal_in_LA]

32. maybe.

[Taverner]

26. Becuse I am a realist - my opinon on the world's end is...

It will end, yes.

Do you mean the extinction of the homo sapiens species? Or just death of many Homo sapiens? I really hope I don't get to experience of either scenario - but we've been working on this self-extinction for quite a while.

Or you talking about the day the Sun turns into a Red Giant and incinerates Earth? If you want an idea on how that works go here ----->> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-qUrjdqQPA

Or are you talking about some bronze age manuscript that has talking donkeys, horrible things happening to his most devoted followers, virgin births, and a book about a guy who was the deity's son - and he still fucked him up by sticking him on a cross to slowly die a horrible death!

No, that's a work of fiction. And it never anywhere says May 22 because THERE WASN'T A FUCKING MAY BACK THEN!!!

It actually talks about either a (1) massive death by fire or (2) Nero is coming for us (Jerusalem.) Quick! Hide!

Being a believer that even a member of bronze age cult had a plan for self-preservation, I choose the latter.

But I do think we need to make up for lost time on our self-extinction trend.

Edited for formatting. I hate that I have to add these to each of my edited posts - but trolls will be trolls...

[JoePhilly]

19. I'm going to start RaptureBay.com, a web site dedicated to selling off the possesions

of those Jesus selected for the express trip to Heaven.

I mean they won't need that stuff any more.

[JoePhilly]

20. This sucks ... my Anniversary is May 19th, so I STILL have to buy an expensive present.

And then we die.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. charge it

[JoePhilly]

33. Wow ... now that's an awesome idea ... I buy her like a HUGE DIAMOND ...

We spend the 20th "naked"

And then the world ends, and we go out with a BANG!!!

I now have a plan.

[Duer 157099]

23. Since it will be the day *after* Judgement Day (tm)...

I'll party hard to start that rap sheet up again.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. I thought the end of the world was NEXT year.

As a heathen, I'm going with the Mayans on this one.

[stevedeshazer]

25. There's gonna be a bunch of nice Buicks out there with about 2000 miles on them.

Take advantage, boomer.

[Taverner]

29. I do love the Buick Lucerne

Honestly - if I had money and I didn't care about my carbon footprint, I'd get one of these.

I would love to see an electric Buick Lucerne. That car is DA BOMB!

[Motown_Johnny]

27. Maybe watch the movie: Judgement Day (Terminator 2)

maybe not

[Scuba]

30. Work in the garden, maybe go fishing.

[SheilaT]

34. What have I missed this time around?

When did May 21 become the end of the world?

[Taverner]

36. The Family Radio Show

They've been buying up billboards all over America. Strangely enough, these folks (who descended from the Pentecostals) are in Oakland, CA. So much for "Liberal California."

But they claim, just like Miller did, that they have DECODED THE SECRET MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE and just know that May 21 is the second coming of Christ, etc...

Several here pointed out that when it doesn't happen (because, you know, IT CAN'T!) they will most likely say they "prayed the end of times away." It's been a while since a Gen-U-Wine miracle happened. And brotha, the Spirit works in mysterious ways...

As I pointed out earlier - yes the world will end. 100+ Billion years from now. The human race might become extinct, but thank the Right Wing for that - they aren't going to be alive when it happens, so who cares.

But I hope behavior is changed, and we do not get close enough to kill off the species.

[we can do it]

35. OMG Of Course That's An Akron, Ohio Station. I Am SO Embarrassed To Live Here

[Taverner]

38. Oakland, Ca - home of Mills College, Oaksterdam and commuters going to Berkeley...

And this nutcase's World HQ is here...

[Motown_Johnny]

39. there is a sign like that within 1/2 a mile from my house

on Detroit's east side

different radio station of course, still.....

no reason for you to be embarrassed, these people are everywhere

[Terra Alta]

37. I'll be in church on May 22nd.

One that doesn't believe in a rapture of any kind, thank you. I will be celebrating life, while the raptureists only celebrate death and destruction.

[Taverner]

40. Sounds good to me

Bring wine for dinner - make it a celebration of life...

[Sheepshank]

41. We have several celebrations that converge close to that date.

So we decided to include a post Raputure as part of it all and make it on the 22nd. Waiting with baited breath to see who shows :) I'm bringing the cake. Apparently I'm planning on being there ;)

[Motown_Johnny]

42. Do you think they somehow deferred payment on all those billboards,

since they figured they won't be around long enough for anyone to be able to collect?


This might be fun



I guess on May 22nd I will come to DU and try to find some information on these people. I hope they don't go all "Heaven's Gate" on us.

[brooklynite]

43. HAs nobody hear considered the likely result?

Jesus returns to the Middle East (where he came from) and ends up wandering in the Desert for 40 days, so nobody knows he's back until July...

[deacon]

44. Call in "dead" to work. n/t
