Put outfits together that would be suitable to various famous people, or people you know. Throw them on the floor as if they had disappeared. Whoever can identify the most missing people wins (no picking up the clothes to inspect!).

Get some stamp-making stuff at Michael’s, and everyone who comes in gets a barcode stamped on their hand or head.

Rack of 7-eyed-lamb.

You could rent one of those cheesy “Left Behind” movies with Kirk Cameron and MST3K it. Myself and a bunch of nerd friends did this with _Twister_ once.

Elect an Antichrist. Have nominations, then have speeches and/or a debate for the nominees to make their case for why they can best carry out the responsibilities of the Beast. After the election, maybe draw some sixes on their forehead.

Thank you. It was inspired by my daughter, who actually does leave discarded clothes in random spots. We often pick them up and say “Oh no, she’s been Raptured!”

Lots of [blowup dolls & a tank of Helium](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LXuNpF6NVg)?

Well, if you’re left behind then it’s because you wed bad right? As people arrive at the party they have to pick out a sin from a hat full of random sins.

_a moooslim_
