It was a special rapture
And, of course, it's the end of the world tomorrow according to the Mayans
Local News:
"Numerous missing persons reports are pouring in from throughout the city involving the sudden disappearance of dozens of Native American residents. Rumors that all trace their origins to Guatemala, Belize and the Yucatan region of Southern Mexico have not been confirmed.
Police report investigations ongoing and assure the public the situation is under control."

What Now?
OK, so we went through the Y2K thing with my hording of chocolate chips and cans of spam while selling (at least trying to sell) my $1500 pamphlet on "How to Survive Y2K", the upshot of which was to horde chocolate chips and cans of spam.
We went through the two Harold Camping "Raptures" with my selling (at least trying to sell) my $200 viles of Wholly Water (and no that is not a misspelling) and giving lectures on "How to be Raptured Without Having to Become a Demented Christian" the upshot of which was to "bapterize" yourself with a vile of Wholly Water while chanting a secret montra and making specific signs in the air all of which I would instruct you on for a mere $200 fee (not including the price of the Wholly Water).
Then we went through the Mayan Apocalypse with my selling (at least trying to sell) my $600 Mayan Apocalypse Protection Hat discounted to 10 cents and had 20 people in the building wearing them which reflected both the Galactic Gravitational Waves and the resulting Coronal Mass Ejaculations (yes, this was all on my signage) and thus saved the whole world from impending torturous doom.
Great fun.
So what is next?
Has the next Rapture been scheduled yet? Any more ancient disaster prophecies pending?
I know there was supposed to be an asteroid threat for March 2014 but recently the astrophysics folks downgraded 2003 QQ47 to a Torino 0. Spoil sports.
Any religious crazies got any kind of alien visitations going on?
There has got to be something we can hype and get all worked up about. Any excuse to act nutty while having a final party before the BIG IT happens.
Anyone got anything? Fiscal Cliff? Anything?

Re: What Now?
Now all of us need a new Mayan Calendar. I checked at the bank and they didn't even have the old ones.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Of course not. They're made out of stone, ya know jar! You gotta go to Home Depot or Lowes.

Re: What Now?
So what is next?
?
Next...?
The Mayans seem to have been correct in that the Fiscal Cliff is our doom which from 12,21,12 has clearly been portent of the end.
No one mentions that this impasse will raise interest rates dramatically and the true fiscal crisis the Fed has been hiding by printing money, buying its own bonds, and pretending to be lending money and support to all the Western financial collapses throughout Europe.
What will happen was illustrated by the French Revolution when the economy just stopped and the massive rabble had no other option but to search out food from house to house in gangs.
.
.
.
Rev. 17:10 And there are, (historically) seven (empires), kings (reigning over them): five are fallen, (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia/Mede, Greece), and one is, (Rome, in 90 AD, when the Revelation was written), and the other, (the 7th, i.e., Western Culture, ruled successively by the ten horns upon its head, one European nation after the next), is not yet come; and when he, (Western Christianized Europe), cometh (i.e.; in the form of the Renaissance and return to the ancient Rom/an and Greek culture, @ 1054AD), he must continue a short space
.
Rev. 17:11 And the beast, (a brazen and corrupt, sexually misdirected economic system: [Dan 3:1-5]), that was (until Rome), and is not (for a thousand years of Monasticism under Christ), even he is the eighth, (the Global Economy), and is of the seven, (Western Culture), and goeth into (Historical ignominy), perdition.

Re: What Now?
I thought about that but neither my Lowes or Home Depot had any.

Re: What Now?
So that's why the Mayan's ended their calendar! They ran out of stone!

Apparently today is "I'll love you forever" day in China because January 4th sounds like "I'll love you always" in Mandarin.
Which is rather better than the end of the bloody world day.

Some days at EvC it seems like everybody's been raptured but me.
