Everybody has an end of the world prediction but us
I've based my whole financial plan on the Mayan calendar. I'm buying presents for everyone on credit in November 2012. Please tell me what you want. Now there is some May 2012 prediction. Why don't we develop an end of the world prediction to gain some notoriety for Chiff & Fipple?

Re: Everybody has an end of the world prediction but us
As far as I understand, the apocalypse begins on 21 October 2011, when all the righteous will be whisked away in the rapture. The rest of us will have to endure all the usual trials & tribulations associated with endtimes, until it all finally comes to a screeching halt on 12 May 2012. I may have got the dates slightly wrong. Therefore I'd like my present NOW. Just in case.

If we're quick not to come up with date than we'll have more time to think about it.

Re: Everybody has an end of the world prediction but us
There's some group around here (the San Fernando Valley) claiming that the world is going to end THIS MONTH. Feel free to send me a low D whistle right away so I can learn the piper's grip and enjoy playing it before my world disintegrates.
EDIT: My bad. I checked their website and they say that judgement day is coming this month but the world won't end until October. You can still send that whistle my way now in case something happens to me on judgement day.

Niether of these two end of the world predictions guarantee that I won't have to make credit card payments.
I like dwest's idea to ensure plenty of time. There is no reason to give a specific date. A sign that could need to be interpreted could help us there. I like the word "smite", let's try to fit that into the prediction somewhere.

The thing to remember about the San Fernando Valley is the San Fernando fault zone, the end could come any second and one day somebody's going to get it right.kokopelli wrote:There's some group around here (the San Fernando Valley) claiming that the world is going to end THIS MONTH.

I especially like those prophets/sites/texts which advise laying in a six-month supply of food and water in preparation for the end of the world!
With best regards to everybody.

Re: Everybody has an end of the world prediction but us
Since this whole forum community is based around whistles I think that should be part of the sign that the end is near. Perhaps a whistle that will play itself?mutepointe wrote:I like dwest's idea to ensure plenty of time. There is no reason to give a specific date.

Before we throw the word "smite" around we must figure out what will do the smiting.

Smite means to injure with bovine power so I think it will be an unhappy cow from Cowafornia.kokopelli wrote:

Re: Everybody has an end of the world prediction but us
Don't worry, folks. We have more than a year to get prepared. I have it on the best of knowledge that the world isn't going to end (pardon my nationalcentricity) until Donald Trump becomes president of the USA.
