And nobody really seems to have noticed. I remember years ago reading about all the “December 21 2012” hooey and imagining that, when we actually got to 2012, there would be a steady increase in craziness as we headed towards the end of the year, with all sorts of nuts, fruits and flakes coming out of the woodwork like some sort of evangelical muesli.
But no. Not a peep. Here we are on November 21 2012 and everybody seems to have forgotten all about it*. Which is good, obviously, but also slightly disappointing. Has anyone got any Mayan apocalypse goodies to share?
*I haven’t taken a close look at YouTube lately, so I could well be wrong, I suppose.
If a quick search of Google News is any indication, it is still very much alive and well (“About 1,800,000 results”; predictably, the first is from Fox News, titled “1 month til’ doom”, all other first-page results are from the last few days).
Illegal to own canned meat in Canada? I bought some Maple Leaf brand canned chicken just last week? Did I break the law? Am I going to be exiled to Devil’s Lake, Manitoba? Aaaaahhh!

Oh wait. I ate the evidence and recycled the can.
Never mind.
My husband’s uncle is seriously, seriously invested in the end of the earth. It’s to the point that the family is concerned about what will happen to him when it doesn’t end. He’s gone off the deep end for sure, but he’s always had mental health issues.
I wish I worked in the news business. Then I could put up an article, maybe on some Alex Jones BS, saying: “Will the world end on December 21? Some say it will. Click to find out the TRUTH”
NO!
Someone probably already has, ripping off of the Abe Vigoda website.
