Rapture coming up Saturday
« on: May 19, 2011, 09:18:33 am »
On Saturday, take unwanted clothes and shoes and leave sets of them arranged [on sidewalks around town]
It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.

Yeah, but some of us weren't alive when the Mayans made their calendars or the Bible was written.
Don't think twice, it's alright.

I could be mistaken, but I have not heard any instances of these people duping anyone out of anything.  Kind of a tough sell...the world is ending, give us your money!!!  Most people would really question why they would want money if the world is ending...

They took out an amusing full page ad in yesterday's USA Today "explaining" this and other questions about them, including why they incorrectly picked and missed another date a few years ago.  In essence, last time we said "maybe" but this time we're serious!

Oh, and they've also covered their bases with "the world wont end on Saturday, just start to end.  So, there you go.  Your Race For The Lid pick is not yet in jeopardy.

Right.  Rapture is Saturday but complete destruction of the Earth isn't until October 21.  Presumably that starts at Yankee Stadium and works it way from there.

So at least we get one more chance to beat OU.  I don't anticipate the Sooners losing many players to the Rapture, though.

That's a lotta quacamole.  But, if they really wanted to perpetuate the scam, why be so adimant about Saturday being the end of the world?  Why not claim Rapture in 2021 so you can get funds to spread the word for the next 10 years?  I am pretty sure most of these people really think the gig is up Saturday...

It could be the Rapture is there for the ones receiving the money. They will disappear Saturday.

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!

I can't believe you clowns.  Not a single one of you has said "I feel fine."
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Did anything happen?  I live in Montrose, so I assume all my neighbors wouldn't have been raptured anyway.

The transsexual prostitute vomiting in the street wasn't taken.  Poor Scott.  She hoped and prayed and prayed again.

Again? Did you hold her hair back again? Maybe you should talk her into rehab.

Anyway, yeah, heaven's pretty cool. They have internet and everything. My gmail account doesn't work, though. Turns out that Don't be evil bit was a sham.

How many virgins did you get?  Are they in burqas?  Or in western dress?

I got 70.  So far.

I got my allotment of 70, too, but incredibly it turns out that Alkie was right about that after all.

Speaking of not funny....Photoshop rarely is.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

What I couldn't figure out about the rapture is that everyone leaves their clothes behind.  So...everyone is naked in Heaven?  That sounds fun but, ignoring the expanse of exposed sausage, I'm not sure I want to see a bunch of Camping's disciples naked, with their unkempt body hair and pasty white skin.

I think I'd rather stay down here and party like it's 1994, May 2011, October 2011.

Circa 1985 the definition of a geologist was the "the guy who works the night shift at the 7-11".
