So, we still all here? Anyone have family or friends that were Raptured? Sadly, I can’t even think of anyone to check with - all my friends are going to hell. ---

Still here! But, you are no too late to get to one of the Rapture Parties! ['Rapture' apocalypse prediction sparks atheist reaction - BBC News](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13468131) ---

I would go looting, but those that have been raptured have nothing that I want. ---

I am quite sick of folks cornering me about the whole issue and will be happy when it all fades away. No doubt! It can’t be fun to have folks pestering you based on a nutter here. And I promise I just meant to be having a little fun - I wasn’t trying to be offensive. ---

Say, maybe only those who were Raptuerd see any difference. ---

I noticed my neighbors’ house was empty this morning. They are very religious people, so I assumed they were taken up. I entered their home and brought their new blue ray player back to my house. Then my gf explained that they left on vacation yesterday. I’m putting the player back. ☹ ---

Breaking in a second time would make you a burglar twice over. I’d leave well enough alone and just keep the Blu-ray. Probably God’s will anyway. ---

I’ve just been raptured. Some turbulence, but not too bad. Heaven has quite a spread, and you wouldn’t believe the wet bar. WiFi too. Not too shabby. All the white’s a liite obnoxious though. ---

Uh, people, it’s not till 6 PM Eastern time. I’m meeting a friend at a popular restaurant then – we don’t expect to have to wait for a table. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Uh, people, it’s not till 6 PM Eastern time. It’s at 6 PM _in evry time zone_; it was supposed to start on the International Date Line and go from there, hitting every place in the world at 6 PM. [As I wrote in my blog](http://rickthegreat.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/saturday-is-rapture-day/), apparently God’s plan is the same as Sir Alexander Fleming’s. As it’s already well past 6 PM in many parts of the world and the End of Days is not upon us, it appears I still have to pay my Visa bill. ---
