How funny: that’s my wife’s birthday, too.

Hey, WAITaminute…
Daniel
Personally, I’m Tiger Woods, so it’s all good.
This reminds me of a time when my parents – devout Mormons – came to visit me in Florida. I took them to a State Park which consists of an old plantation converted into gardens that people can walk around and check out. Near the entrance is a time-capsule, buried under the sidewalk, with the caption, “to be opened [some random date], 2007.” (Or whatever the year was – it’s to be opened a few years from now. Oh, and this was at least 3-4 years ago.)
My dad, normally a thinking, intelligent human being, stops dead in his tracks, reads the plaque and says, “Um. I’m pretty sure that the Second Coming is going to happen before that.” And off we go for our garden tour.
I nearly laughed out loud until I caught a glimpse of his face and realized – remembered – that he actually believes this claptrap! Out of respect for my dad, I stifled my derision, but if it had been anyone else making the remark, I’d still be harrassing them.
Anywho… Who wants some Rice Krispy Marshmallow Treats?
All these yummy Easter treats mentioned, and nobody thought to bring Cadbury Eggs??? I think that’s grounds to not be raptured right there!
Sports are supposed to stop being played, right? Or something to that effect?
Cuz I’m sitting here watching Reds-Cubs, seventh inning. Am I merely being deceived? Alternately, is there baseball in heaven, assuming I was raptured in my sleep?
[sub]Forget having my car, nobody would want it. It has enough trouble actually starting … though it is paid off.[/sub]
Two and a half hours left to go, here, and I’m still earthbound. Oh, well. I only said I was a practising Christian, I never said I was any good at it …
Oddly enough, I was out shopping this morning, and Borders did look a bit empty. HMV, though, was as full as usual. Make of that what you will.
Guess you just need more practice…
Darn it, and I already told my friends that should I ever disappear mysteriously, the Rapture is not the first conclusion they should come to.
How am I supposed to scare them into piety now? 
Amazing! The guy in the office across the hall has just disap
Well I’m just sittin’ around waiting for the Rapture, or the party (whichever comes last). In the meantime, I just wanted to mention that I read this post as

having something to do with The Virgin[sup]TM[/sup]. And you know, that just seems wrong, even for this atheist.
Sports haven’t stopped yet, but the Tigers did win 7-0 today.

Past midnight.
Still here.
Bollocks anyway.
Well see, that just means Hell’s frozen over. “It’ll be a cold day in Hell when the Tigers are good.” Nothing in there about rapture, though … I guess you could infer that the cold is due to a lack of bodies. And they have to go somewhere…
I dunno, sounds like a sign of the apocalypse to ME…
I just hope there’s enough people good enough to rapture that this will open up the job market.
You say that like it’s never happened before. 
Well, it’s April 6 already in the more populated half of the world, from the Greenwich Meridian eastward to the International Date Line.
Anybody missing yet over there?
Here in the USA, I’m wondering if God goes by standard or daylight time.
Shodan, you remember correctly. Hey, nobody’s ever seen any trace of Hoffa, so you never know.
I’m a born-again Christian who’s a skeptic about the Rapture. So does that mean I stay or I go?
Personally, I hope God’s designed the Rapture so that you get Raptured if and only if you believe in it. It’ll make for a much better party the day after!
you “humorous” people who don’t finish typing a word to make it look like you were raptured-forget it!
If you were , you wouldn’t have been hitting the submit key!
So there!
Ha! Well, vanilla, that’s why you haven’t seen any of my posts in this thread.
Oh Wait.
Damn.
I see you didn’t get the memo.
Rapture causes a “submit reply” signal to be generated on all “worthy” computers.
Now that I came all the way back here to educate you, I think I’ll just stick around for the party.
Did the Solid Chocolate Rapture Bunnies start their set yet?
