Are you ready, or what?
All signs point to the apocalypse tomorrow. Have you heard?
Fuck: what if they’re right? (They’re not, but who would get the last laugh?)
What are you doing in preparation and/or celebration?
Tags: apocalypse, may 21
as i said on facebook, i’m planning on jerking off & listening to Britney Spears’s “DANCE UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS” on repeat
I want to spend the rapture at an ugly dog show.
Worst in Show is playing on the 21st. It’s a documentary about the world’s ugliest dog competition. And there’s an ugly dog show afterward.
two excellent options! Mike: you’re going to listen to that song on repeat all day? Jesus. (I do like the part when the song sounds muted.) Cameron: ugly dogs are so much cuter than pretty dogs. Why is that?
The lack of chaotic news today proves not only are these folks gullible and unimaginative about the end of the world, they’re truly uninspired in how they’re choosing to spend the last day of the human race.
trying to figure out why the idea of armageddon tomorrow is silly, but armageddon in the future isn’t.
Worst billboards ever. Although very likely put together in a hurry because–well, you know.
Who said it isn’t?
To be fair, armageddon qualified simply as the end of our world is a pretty foregone conclusion, scientifically we can see the registers of it all around us, in every iota of what we know (and don’t know) about the cosmos clearly letting us know that in a span of time that is contextually no more than a blink of time, our planet will quite certainly be eaten up by a hungry and dying star.
But the theological armageddon is silly on any timescale…
I agree with Ryan (below (?)); it’s not the timing, or even the explicit vs. open-ended frame.
It’s shunting ‘the end of the world that sustains us’ into God’s hands – and out of our own – that’s “silly”. It’s salvation from ‘the world’s end’ – on the grounds of obedience to a supernatural whatever – that’s “silly”.
Supernatural commitments don’t stem from too much ‘imagination’; they stem from not enough ‘imagination’ to leave personal temporal finitude unbelieved.
I made a craigslist posting looking for a date. I wanted to get drunk and go sing karaoke somewhere. But apparently EVERYONE already has plans for Apocalypse Eve.
I hate to say it but the old tried-and-true “World’s
About to End” signs work just fine. Once you put a
definite date on the big A, you’ve lost me. So I’m certainly
not going to tune into FamilyRadio.com or
WeCanKnow.com.
If they hadn’t given a date and I saw the sign, I might have visited the site and listened to what they had to say. But now there’s no point. It’s too late. Alert successfully spoiled.

“YOU’RE GOING TO DIE THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever thought about a Metlife retirement annuity?

Going to comment on lit blogs.
Crappy formatting is the 8th sign.
Uh, dude? Maybe you didn’t hear about Macho Man Randy Savage yet?
You can, for some hours yet, join in the ‘countdown to backpedaling’: http://www.wecantknow.com/ . I’ve heard/read that Family Radio is ‘valued’ at ~$120 million, and that Camping himself is ‘worth’ ~$70 million – which is quite a hedge against, eh, “miscalculation”.
wrote a blog abt it: http://bit.ly/lJo6dd
Tried to get off work tonight to celebrate, but unfortunately a lot of people plan on eating pizza for apocalypse eve and are going to be too lazy to pick it up themselves.
I’m going to finally start reading Infinite Jest.
Well, then. Whilst most believers of his adverts will be figuring out a way to get on the Spaceship, I’d advise Camping to spend the next 26 hours exchanging his seventy million greenbacks for gold bullions and try to get left back. Deal with the fallout on Sunday.
Save the Date.
Chris McCann of eBible Fellowship, one of the groups helping to
spread the message, said it had been publicised in almost every country.
“The only countries I don’t feel too good about are the
“stans” – you know, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, those countries in Central
Asia,” he said.
I guess just get really drunk. I mean, what else are you supposed to do on a big public occasion? As with New Years for a decade now, I plan to be vomiting up a curry, gazing blearily from my one, half open eye at the four horsemen racing across the sky towards me.

According to this piece of actual journalism: http://motherjones.com/media/2011/05/rapture-harold-camping-family-radio , it’s the “non-profit” (?!) Family Radio which was (’09) ‘worth’ $72 million. Those other #s sound like . . . stories. Still plenty of bullion. The credulous millions of followers are – plainly – , um, prepared to believe whatever explanation they get spoon-fed (miscalculation; trial period; the ‘world’ as it was known did end; etc.) — I don’t think Camping, Inc. will have to budge an inch.

I think they miscalculated. We’re only halfway through the book of revelations.

i’m going to spend it bitching about tired jokes on the internet
Listening to Saves the Day now. Maybe I’ll listen to Shelter next!
I proselytized w/ this li’l video & a superbad launch party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPmVyigGn0
My take? You have to get naked to be clothed in the Lord. Lawdy lawd lawd…
