25 April 2011

Again?

Glad I'll get in my Bay to Breakers race before then.

And after that, can point and laugh at the silly embarrassed Family Radio people.

To quote HHGG:

"Lucky escape for Arsenal if it did."

I thought that was next year. Oh well. Nice knowing all of you.

Yeah, it's a total bummer, one day before my birthday.

Mine too, Senyar. Good thing I have no plans.

It's a week before my birthday. Now I won't have to deal with turning 50!

Well, I can look forward to one or more cult groups self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool, right?

Dude! The other day I was driving around my town and I saw this exact message on an enormous poster being carried in the back of a pickup truck. What gives?

Another question: who wants to take a bunch of video cameras and go hang outside their offices on May 22?
posted by Miko 25 April | 17:24
That truck must have been part of this.

I kind of think the whole thing is engineered to be an ad for that radio network.
posted by Miko 25 April | 17:27
Well, I might as well quit my job and stop trying to give up my social smoking.

My question is: where's the meet-up going to be?
posted by Specklet 25 April | 17:29
Yes, we've seen the big ad on at least one vehicle here in Seattle area too. After which my Bear and I engaged in the kind of heartless mocking of these confident end of world predictors which guarantees we won't be part of the Rapture deal-y.
posted by bearwife 25 April | 18:04
Have they given any kind of justification, Biblical or otherwise, for this date in particular?

I wonder how they're getting around Matthew 25:13: "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes."

Can I have their stuff?

That's my birthday exactly. PARTY AT MY PAD!

Maybe I'm just too frugal by nature, but if the world's about to end, I'm sure as hell going to spend my money on something more interesting than a van painted so's to announce the fact that the world's going to end.

"Gay Pride, Sign of the End." No, good people, I am not downloading your .pdf with that title.

(There are a couple billboards here in Eugene, from these folks.)
posted by danf 25 April | 18:44
They have signs in the Metro, and on the buses here. I guess if they pay for it they're entitled to ad space, but riding the Metro is awful enough without contemplating the end of the world.
posted by JoanArkham 25 April | 18:54
My property tax is due a week before that. Should I bother to pay it?

At least if all those people are suctioned off the earth, we wont have to deal with them anymore.

What do you suppose they will they be saying on the morning of the 22nd?
posted by DarkForest 25 April | 20:28
Excellent! I play the end of the world drinking game. Every time the world is supposed to end, I take a drink. And then keep drinking until the world ends.

"Gay Pride, Sign of the End"
Yeah, for YOU.

If The Rapture happens in my lifetime, which it won't, it'll either cleanse the world of some of its most annoying people, or if there were a truly just God, which is unlikely, it would leave a lot of self-assumed 'chosen people' to be totally humiliated. Both ways, more fun for me, who would rather, in the words of William Joel, "laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints*"

*even if you're referring to to the New Orleans NFL team

This concludes my minute of sacrilege.

Day before my birthday too....like it fucking matters.

PANIC! *kermit flails*
posted by gc 26 April | 12:35
Yeah, we're having an end of the world party to celebrate. The billboards have been up for months. Haven't seen the vans, tho. Looks kind of like a parody.

apparently today is World Penguin Day || subcultures
