End of the World - Saturday, May 21st

[EarlJam]

Okay, by now, everyone knows about this. My thought: What does almighty God do in the days leading up to the big judgement day? I mean, it's been a long time coming. What will said diety do after May 21st? New world? Be bored to tears?

Not knocking God here, rather, the moon bats that are proclaiming the end of the world.

Now, here's another thought: What if said "moon bats" really do have something up their own personal sleeves? I hope not. Just a thought.

In any case, be sure to party like it's May 20, 2011.

You know, we here in the varnish zone always said that hell would freeze over before the county opened its creaky wallet, letting out the bats trapped therein, and fork over more money to the impoverished working class.

So wouldn't you know we would get this yesterday morning....

Employees,

Benny Summerlin, County Administrator/General Manager, asked me to let you know that the County Board of Supervisors and the PSA Board of Directors approved a one-time 3% stipend to full-time employees. Part-time employees who have worked for at least 60 hours per month for the last six months will receive a flat $300 stipend. Employees will receive this stipend through direct deposit on Friday, May 20th. New employees in their six-month initial orientation period will not receive their stipend until they have successfully completed this initial orientation. Our employees are our most valuable asset, and while the County/PSA simply could not afford to give an employee pay raise, we wanted to recognize your hard work and dedication to the County/PSA.

Thank you for your commitment to a job well done!

A bonus, and no time to spend it. I think the county planned it this way, and has some plan to suck the money back out of our accounts on Monday.

Seriously, as a Christian, I am really irritated by this. Once again a small, vocal superminority of Christians will make us all look like ignorant nincompoops.

Agreed on all fronts. A buddy of mine said he was going to call the nincompoops (familyradio.org??) and offer a check for $100,000 as a donation. He said he would have to post-date it May 23rd and wanted to see if they'd still take the check. My hunch is, um, yes.

If the world ends on Saturday the 21st, I am going to be seriously fucking pissed off as that is my birthday!

Well, it looks as though I won't have a chance to go east this trip to see you, colchar, but at least:
1) If the world ends Saturday, at least I'll be here in Canada.
2) It had better take place AFTER Don Cherry's final comments after the game.

Happy Birthday tomorrow (I'll revisit this tomorrow).

See my comment in the Official Good Morning thread.

If "King Jesus" was a rock band, this would be a pretty cool T-Shirt...

"King Jesus" returns to Madison Square Garden, with special guests, "AC/DC!"

That is CLASSIC!!!

I will be at a Wedding and by 6pm, the Wedding Reception! So, good food and beverage and music. I will certainly, post something in the PM of Saturday night or Sunday am.

WHERE do these people come up with these dates? I heard on TV, by a math equation. But the first prediction was 1994. Thats been a few years, ago. And then to predict that only 2% will be in the immediate rapture. What about the remaining 98%? And the final day on Earth, will be 5 months later, Oct 21! Where do these percentages come from? And the final day of Earth and civilization as we know it?



Eat cake, eat ice cream, and party like its May 21 2011!

So you're already in heaven then! Granted you're in London Ontario and at Western but at least you're in Canada.

If I didn't have an exam Tuesday I'd jump in the car and pop over there to at least have a drink with you.

2) It had better take place AFTER Don Cherry's final comments after the game.

Nope, supposed to happen at 6pm which is before the game.

[Lavabe]

I thought it was an afternoon game.

I thought it was an afternoon game.

It is, I was thinking of tonight's Vancouver game when I posted that.

[lawgrad91]

Judgment Day is supposed to be a rolling event, beginning at 6pm in each time zone. One must wonder why those on the other side of the International Date Line are hated by God, and Hawaii is blessed.

Colchar, I hope you're celebrating your birthday tonight since you won't get to tomorrow night. To quote EJ: Party like it's May 20, 2011!

Still waiting..... Oh well, maybe next time. AW.

[colchar]

Danmit! Since neither this nor this happened I guess that means I will have to tomorrow. Oh well, I'll deal with that then. In the meantime I'm gonna grab my nice new and for a little while.

Here's to the fucker who made me think I would be able to avoid cutting that grass

[Very Duke Blue]

Today was a beautiful day. Very peaceful, the weather was terrific. We ate dinner on the deck.....well past 6:00 PM.

[lawgrad91]

We went to Blowing Rock today. We tried to time dinner so we could eat a nice meal and the rapture would occur before we would have to pay for it, but that didn't happen.

Lovely day in the mountains.
