I'll be spending the 21st the same way I do every December 21st.

Sobbing hysterically and soiling myself. Not because of any doom, but due to the Christmas spending we'll be doing.

Also, SLAYER is having a party that day. BYOB and hotpockets. He'll have fondue and little bits of stuff on toast for snacks.

There's a really good reason nobody within 500 miles of Chicago invites me anywhere.
It's not at all because I almost live on ATS and am a well known social leper besides.
Most of my now absent friends would attest to my culinary skill set. I found a big can
of pre-Fukishima albacore in the cupboard that didn't explode from degassing !
You know what that means: I'm duty bound to make one last batch of secret formula
dualie cheese (heavily-hyphenated-remind-you-of-a-high-school-cafeteria-emptier-replica
-yellow-puck) Doctor Dillweed dip with triple prefab bacon chips;
so I can watch Domo levitate without supercooling his fur brittle.
It's also absolutely guaranteed for acid content to liquify a 9mm carrot stick in five seconds.
Gotta put it down fast or it'll plop off the veggie and burn right through the hull.
/digression/
At this point you can assume my school district made some pretty covert,
ballistically impervious tunaburgers. And they didn't change at all in appearance or
taste even after 36 hours under the heat lamps. Chip your incisors on this,
McSpud nazis. Tasty is a very subjective adjective in Illinois: and I AM what I ate.
/end digression/
But it tastes pretty good if you blow your buds away with a fat swig of Dolph's
favorite popskull quality vodka beforehand. Found a wholesaler.
Suit: "Where's THAT S#t from?"
D: "Sweden.. like the quarter of me that had a liver until thirty years ago"
I simply love concocting dip that decomposes into its own dishwashing detergent.
Not only is cleanup a snap with a quick hose-down, but the foam can put out
that Raptor that superheated on the apron waiting for t/o clearance.
Note to self: gotta get that mini milling machine out of the kitchen-- I'm concerned
now that the flycutter is causing the hot hi-chrome chips to make toxic gas from
the polyester curtains melting. Use me in a well ventilated area, everyone else does.
That's got to be the reason: I'm a BYOD, or-- Bring Your Own Doom kinda guy!
ps the tuna is gonna de-gas when he aromatic hydrocarbons mix it up, trust me.

Just imagin ' you get up late on the 22 nd and think hmmm I'm alive the world didn't end as I knew it wouldn't. Lazily jump on to ATS to read the 100s of threads you are expecting. The "told you so threads". Strangely after an ats search nothing pops up. Anyway you MUST make a told you we'd be here thread. Then no one replies..... :O. Que the weird sinister music.

Ok ok, I know it's not going to happen, but fun to think. Maybe it would be a great joke to play on our first ats thread of 22nd

Oh...Why must you ruin it......

Probably what I'm going to do.

I just want to know?

What was your first clue?

Maybe nothing catastrophic will happen but I will definitely be keeping my eye on world news as it may be the beginning of the end. To be continued....

Anyone opening presents on the 20th?

I personally believe planet earth will not have much to do with our demise. It is it's inhabitants. Like I said, keep an close eyes on what's going on in the world at the exact moments we are brushing our teeth before our morning shift to go to work and while we're picking our kids up from daycare or feeding them dinner. What really goes on is never fully exposed on eye news but we may get some idea of what's to come. Like I said, this this saga will be continued

On a more serious note, I hope more can reach out and assure others that it's not the end. There is no evidence of it.

For the religious faithful, the end can come ANYTIME, even the next minute if God by His mercy wishes it so to end all suffering, or the end may be a millions years, but the end will come at a time when NO being will know, except God.

For the non religious, NASA and various agencies had debunked every claim that the end is nigh, even the mayan descendants themselves. Even the galaxial alignment, parade of planets on the 21st poses no threat as explained in full by science. Solar storm, earth storms, earthquakes are the new normal nowadays anyway.

I was shocked to realise that there are a few whom still believe that 21st is the end day, and are thinking of doing insane stuffs because they think there is no tomorrow.

When tomorrow comes, it will hit them hard, and if they survive whatever insane stuff they wanna do on the 21st, they may not want to live with the consequences.

Thus, my plea to all, to help someone you know whom may be fearful of the 21st, not by belittling them, demean or bully them, but to use facts, logic and reason. Their fears are genuine but fully unwarranted and unnecessary. If the end truly comes, it will be quick and NONE will survive anyway, so there's nothing to worry about, except to continue living responsibly, treasuring and cherishing every moment of life that we had been given.

For some, the end of the world as they knew it, had already came, such as those whose lives were cut by disasters. Thus, value life, and not waste it.

Where life is, death must be also. One cannot exist without the other. "Armageddon" however shall not come to pass for along time yet, so I do not fear it. To quote spock - live long and prosper.

I think your justin Bieber mention is how it will end. On the 21st of december 2012 he will come out as a woman, all the screaming little girls will kill themselves ritualistically. Then the fathers will off themselves, then the 20 something female followers will go, then the 40+ males that only live to look at 20 something females will off themselves, then it's just one big chain reaction ending with those that believed he was a boy offing themselves and those that are ashamed he is a woman offing themselves. Perfect ploy. From the moment that fairy haired tween # entered the music scene I knew we were all damned. We are either in hell, or on the way. 12/21/2012 is just the day the door closes behind us.

We all went to hell on our own accord, we even had time to look back and we just kept on going. Now Millennia a later the door finally shuts with all of us trapped in side. Many of us won't notice for a millennia to come.
