May 21: What will you be doing?

I've always wondered what these fools think when they're wrong. Do they bow down and ask God's forgiveness for being so presumptuous?

 

Was wondering what the hell this was about.


There was a car painted with all kinds of end of the world, May 21, signage rolling around my neighborhood Sunday, playing odd sounding music from a loud speaker on top. Also, saw a couple with black T-shirts touting the same thing walking down my block.

Religious zealots are relatively rare for my neighborhood, Park Slope, Brooklyn, so they really stood out. Oh, we have zealots _ mostly involving baby strollers. Just not religious ones.

My 4-year-old daughter asked me why that car was playing it's music so loud. I said some people like to draw attention to themselves.
Figured that was better than, 'because the world is filled with freaks and lunatics and their ranks are growing exponentially every day.'

Then I went home and watched the 60 Minutes piece on Sovereign Citizens, which further affirmed my previous opinion.


God help us all!

 

Yes, and he learned defense from Pol Pot in Cambodia.

 

You haven't seen the ads on the subway? Also, last week I saw one of their buses drive by with something about May 21 and the end of the world on it and couldn't help from laughing.

 

I will celebrate not having to pay off student loans.

 

You know, now that you mention it, I have seen a subway ad. I think mistook it for an add for some bad sci-fi book.

I would have demanded cash payments from these crackpots when they were paying for the cars, ad space, shirts and whatnot.
"Hey buddy if you think the world is coming to an end next week, ain't no way I'm accepting your check."

 

I must be really sheltered living in the wilds of the North Woods, this is the first I've heard of this.

As far as May 21, I've got flower gardens to plant and serious cleaning for an upcoming open house. That's simply not a good day for the world to end for me.

Maybe they could consult the Mayan calendar which allegedly sets the world's end date in December 2012?

 

May 21? I'll be working, same as today and yesterday and the day before that.

The fact it happens to be my last day at my current job is pure coincidence. I will taking an extended nap on May 22.

 

I'll be working in the newsroom asking: "If the end of the world comes today won't that have to be A1 display for tomorrow? Hey, wait a minute ..."

 

And a lot less funny and interesting.

 

End of the World Arrives; Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.

 

My parents will be in from out of state and my son just got a birthday invitation for that day. I for one would welcome our world-ending overlords.
