So, as we've been told by repeated articles and blathering over the past few weeks, apparently today could well be....The End of the World. I'm wondering how ya'll are gonna spend this Last Day? Planning anything special? Any going away parties? Barbecues? I'm just sitting here working as usual - well...somewhat...and wondering if I'll have to pay rent next week, or if I really should get that hotel room for the Memorial Day weekend.

I want clean underwear for the rapture.
I don't think you really need it. My understanding is that when you're "raptured" it's kind of like instant dry-cleaning. Your sins and any unsightly coffee or other stains are wiped away.

If it truly was the end of the world, in a nuclear sense, I'd be stealing morphine and gunning down a few people. If a big flying Jesus came back and took the faithful, I'd be looting their houses and cars. As it is, I'm at my lousy job, trying to smile at people as I buy their damaged crap.

Indrid, there's nothing like planning ahead. Although if you go on your killing spree on the Last Day, I'm afraid you won't got that champagne and prawn dinner special that's been going around. But I guess the satisfaction of a job well done will be enough!

All I need is a "technical", one of those pickups with a .50 cal mounted in the back like the Somalis use, some adrenochrome, and a case of Cold Duck.

Sounds good. Just don't take out Cheezus by accident. Or Gabriel.

At the moment, I'm finishing my lunch hour at work. This evening, I'll be celebrating my birthday at home. No end-of-the-worlds 'til after I've had my birthday, OK?

I'm not sure about the ice cream. Happy Birthday Enderby! (and many more)

Thank you both so kindly! I'm betting I'll get that ice cream, and some cake, too. I've had a lot of birthday practice -- this is my 52nd. And since I can't imagine either one of you being any older than 26, I'll just assume you are both 26. And that means that you-all have the same combined birthday experience that I have myself. So far, I have totally not noticed any world-ending going on. I think we'll just sli-i-i-i-ide right on past, this time. Maybe next year?

A blazing red sun is slipping behind the hills right now here in East Tennessee, and we are still here. I guess we all have to go to work tomorrow. :-(

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T JUST FUCKING POST THAT!!!! OMG!!! Tippy Turtle. Oh my freakin gawd! I thought I was the only guy who remembered that.
Welp, That's it. I'm done with predicting the future. Not that I was any good at it. I think I've finally reached my threshold for fearmongering by the government, and the media. If the end of the world comes, I really don't want to be prepared for it. I'll just react to it in the best way I know how, and not live my life in fear of a bunch of fags dressed in robes plotting the end of the world.

But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Hmmmm.....I wouldn't have thought of that, loddy. My Mom always insisted we put on fresh underwear in case we were in an accident or something and we had to go to the doctor! Will God give us shots?

You mean, no one told you to change your birthday to the 21st? That doesn't hardly seem fair........but are you sure you even want another birfday?
#32. To: orangedog (#28)
I went to the post office today to sign for a certified letter from the IRS. Actually two of them. Anyway, I got to thinking, if I mail enough helium baloons, my postal fees should add up to enough money to cover what the IRS thinks I owe. It's gonna take a lot of ballons but at least now I have a plan!

The robes I always thought were a little comical, but capes are another thing entirely. If there's one thing that the first Star Wars trilogy taught me is that it's never a good thing when grown men who like to wear capes take an unhealthy interest in your future.

And if you get bored in the mean time you can always go into a bank, take a withdraw slip, write "This is a stick up!" on the back, put it back on top of the stack and wait for the next fool to come along and use it.

Comedy Central played it as part of a best-of show once, but it was more than ten years ago. I haven't seen any Tippy cartoons in forever.

I'd like to have one of those nuclear-powered hand-held gatling guns, like what One-Eye had in "Snow Crash." There're a lot of people I'd give a headstart on the Rapture.
If it truly was the end of the world, in a nuclear sense, I'd be stealing morphine and gunning down a few people.
"Benjamin Franklin was shown the new American constitution, and he said, 'I don't like it, but I will vote for it because we need something right now. But this constitution in time will fail, as all such efforts do. And it will fail because of the corruption of the people, in a general sense.' And that is what it has come to now, exactly as Franklin predicted." -- Gore Vidal

We're on a roll now! Jingle: "Hey, Tippi Turtle, coming down the street Jingle: Hey, Tippi Turtle! Hee hee hee! This is gonna be great! [ jumps excitedly ] Postal Employee: [ grabs box from midair, places it down again ] I don't know.. [ box floats away again ] Jingle: "Hey, Tippi Turtle!" Anyway, I got to thinking, if I mail enough helium baloons, my postal fees should add up to enough money to cover what the IRS thinks I owe. It's gonna take a lot of ballons but at least now I have a plan!
Tippi Turtle 
Tell us what you're gonna do!"
Tippi Turtle: "First, I'm gonna bother everybody I meet
Then, I'll probably go home and get drunk."
Hey, hey, Tippi Turtle!"
[ Tippi Turtle walks down the street ]
Tippi Turtle: Hi, everybody! Well, enough small talk - we've got people to annoy! Today, we're gonna bother these guys - the hammerheads at the U.S. Post Office. Hee hee hee! Now, pay attention.
[ Tippi demonstrates in his home workshop ]
Get some real thin balsa wood, and glue it together like this. See? You make a little box! Then, you take a helium balloon and you put it inside like this. Then, wrap it up and address it! Take it downtown.
[ show Tippi Turtle standing in line at the Post Office ]
Postal Employee: Next.
Tippi Turtle: Yes. Good afternoon, Mr. United States Post Office Man. Now, you charge according to weight, is that correct?
Postal Employee: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just put it on the scale.
Tippi Turtle: Okee-dokee! [ places his box on the scale, but it floats upward ] Looks like you owe me some money, hammerhead!
Tippi Turtle: [ bangs counter ] Are you gonna pay up, or not? I want my money! Fair is fair! [ leans close to the camera to whisper to the audience ] Be real obnoxious. Keep demanding money. Bother as many people as you can! [ leans back into the cartoon ] I want my money! Fair is fair!
[ a fight ensues, Tippi casually walks away ]
Tippi Turtle: Hee hee hee! Now, that's entertainment! Goodbye, everybody! See you next time!
[ fade to black ]

This was a bit of a let down. I even updated my checklist: 1) lots of vodka on hand...check Oh well. The "good" news is that the week isn't over yet, so it might not be all for nothing.
Hmm just damn if I woulda realized it was the end.. what would I have planned?? Hmmm..
2) plenty of ammo...check
3) lots of smokes...check
4) ate red meat every day for the last month...check

Hope you had a great birthday! It was quite pleasant -- thank you! No end of the world, though. I had to go to work today and everything. "26 in dog years?" I think that would make you either 4 or 182 in people years, depending on whether you multiply or divide by seven. Either way, I'm confused. That's OK, though. I'm used to being confused.
