**Chavardz** can we make it for some time in June? On a Saturday perhaps? See, by then the weather will be warm where I live and I can be lying in the pool on my big floaty chair with beer in hand to watch the apocalypse happen. Any date would be ok, as long as it’s not raining. If it happens to rain, I’d want a rain check. ---

I say we all view the apocalypse at the Restaurant at the end of the Universe. I hear they have drink specials. ---

What’s all this talk of rescheduling the apocalypse. Doomsday doesn’t answer to your timetables people. The horsemen are already saddling up, and literally billions of gallons of blood are being pumped into the oceans as we speak. If you’re gonna kvetch about this thing, you’ll ruin the experience for everyone else. We only get one apocalypse. P.S. There was talk of waiting for the Sox to make it to the promised land, but given the life expectancy of the universe at large it was deemed inexpedient. We’re not the only plantet on the chopping block and there just isn’t time to get every little thing right. ---
