Are you hoarding anything for 12/21/12?
You mean 12.21.12, right?
The OP is hoarding 9 days.
I’m not. I’m just trying to make it through the week.
I think she means 12.12.21.
Did hoard? What?
Or 21.12.12, following the non-US custom of day:month:year.
Not hoarding anything here, at any rate.
Why on earth would I hoard anything? If I believe in 12/21/12, that means I believe THE WORLD IS GOING TO END.:eek:
There’s no halfway here. Either the end of the Mayan calnedar means the world is going to end, in which case hoarding is pretty silly, or it means the calendar simply resets back to Day 1, in which case it makes no more sense to hoard than it does on December 31 or every year.
You’re failing to see shades of gray here.
The world will go on, but without Twinkies.
Kinda puts a whole new spin on hoarding, doesn’t it?
Depends. Are there fifty of them?
OP, assuming you’re talking about one of the many future apocalypse/armageddon/rapture dates, then, no. In fact, as my dept. is set to move offices soon, I’m doing the opposite, and trying to eat through the stash of food at my desk rather than having to pack it. (Mostly odds and ends: half a pack of crackers, part of a bag of peanut M&Ms, etc.)
I understand the words, but the concept is eluding me. It’s like ten years ago when my brother asked me about some “leftover lobster meat.” Um… Put it next to the unicorn and tooth faerie?
What time of day is that supposed to happen anyway? Like midnight Mayan time zone? Because I was thinking that there’s really no time of day that it’s the same day all over the world, so in some time zones the world will end on the day before or after. That hardly seems fair.
Maybe they think they will have their stuff in the afterlife, like the Egyptian pharaohs who were buried with all of those lavish riches, including many day-to-day items.
Apparently, it is supposed to happen at 11:11 UTC, or 5:11 am CST (which is the time zone in the Mayan regions), but perhaps that was some number picked out of the air (midnight CST would make more sense).
Of course, I don’t believe in any of this, so I’m not hoarding anything (beyond what I normally hoard, if you call it that).
Gawd it better not work that way. Sweet, sweet death is probably my only hope of escaping this house that is 5/3rds full of a lifetimes worth of borderline crap (certainly no damn Ming vases thats for sure).
Please please tell me this shit won’t haunt my afterlife as well.
I still have shit left from my Y2K hoarding.
Changed the OP and title at the request of the OP.
No hoarding here.
I don’t have enough storage space to hoard anything other than dust. I’ve got a lot of dust.
Bah, who needs to hoard?
If the Fallout series of games taught me anything, it’s that there will never be a shortage of anything after the apocalypse, decades of radiation and decay be damned!
Just waltz in any abandoned house or gas station and stock up on spam, Mac and cheese, bubblegum… Then you can wonder into local offices to look for spare ammunition and cartons of cigarettes to trade for whatever passes for currency.
See? Simple! 
Junk food and holiday cartoons on my DVR! My husband and our 5 year old both start their holiday break on Friday, so we’re not leaving the house.
I am not scared of the Mayan Apocolypse, but I’m terrified of the people who believe it’s going to happen.
You and me both. I don’t see any panicky behavior, yet.
I am not hoarding anything but I am stocked with drinking water, peanut butter, two charged cell phones, two vehicles with full gas tanks, a laptop computer with fully charged battery and a nice wad of cash.
Lame, I know, but maybe better than nothing, I guess–then again, maybe not. Any way you slice it, it’s not like I’m not going to be able to use the stuff if nothing crazy happens.
I don’t think it’s going to be any worse than the last few times the world ended.
