I forgot to put the date on the bathroom mirror. Anyone want to join me in an afternoon of fornification? (murder and theft aren’t my bag, baby)

Are there any other upcoming apocalypses I have to put in my diary?

If I’d known today was going to bring nuclear armageddon, I definitely would have skipped work and my appointment with the doctor. And I wouldn’t have paid my credit card bill last week, although I have a suspicion that an atomic holocaust would not stop them from trying to collect.

Take not lightly the words of Yahweh, for he is mighty and feasts on fear. Fear and asparagus. And as a result his urine has a unique fragrance. DO NOT PISS HIM OFF.

Oh the irony, when I was younger, I figured for a variety of reasons, I would not live to be 40. Well today is my 40th birthday. To think I am going to be wrong by only one day. It does not seem fair somehow.  
Perhaps I will have “time enough” after the Nuclear War. Thankfully I do not need reading glasses.

But it’s already September 13 in Australia.

I know, Australia’s always messing things up for these people. First there’s the problem of whether or not there were kangaroos on Noah’s Ark, and now this…

Y’all will just believe anything, won’t you?

Why would the Mayans bother making a calendar that goes all the way to 2012 if the world were going to end today?

Sheesh. You got 6 more years to fornicate. Make the best of it.

The rapture awaits with identical certainty. That one does not require clean underwear.

Icouldn’t help but notice that this End of the World Patent Pending is being promoted by The House of Yahweh. Is it similar to The House of Pancakes ?

So will the party be in heaven, hell, or the radioactive wasteland left here on Earth? I need to know what to _wear_!

It’s sort of a more religious version of Burger King. They bless the burgers, but otherwise you still get to have it Yahweh.

But it’s already 5766 by the Hebrew calendar, that of Yahweh’s Original People. Are they going to let a bunch of Peter-come-latelies dictate when _their_ god is going to do things?
