Somehow, standing in line for this just doesn’t do it for me.
So the world ends tomorrow, May 21st, so some people say. What will you do?
Will our east Asia and European readers please let us know how it’s going as the time marches across the face of the earth. Open thread –

I’ll check to see if this post is still here same time tomorrow.
I’m going to the Dayton International Festival. I hope God doesn’t take me away before I’ve seen all the booths and performances.
Crank up all the lights and drive 100mph just like we do on Erf Day?
I told those people I wasn’t convinced the world would end Saturday and they called me a rapture denier and accused me of being a shill for Big Atheism. It’s worse than we thought.
I am starting up my greenhouse. Better to risk wasting my last day alive working than to have no fresh veggies.
Have to mow the lawn tomorrow with my Hustler 42″ ZTR Fastrack machine. If the big quake hits I am merely going to ride into the sunset on my last day….
Having a beer, or four, writing a book review for “Climate Cover Up” by the Suzuki Foundation PR firm owner of DeSmogBlog.com who is financed by on online banking mogul recently convicted of gambling money laundering, now that I’ve completed making this info-graphic about James Hansen’s 1988 prophecy:

When the world does not end on midnight, how the members of $72 million dollar cult handle their version of climatology’s lack of continuing temperature rise should be amusing. Usually it’s a matter of dedication to the cause having magically resulted in a change in God’s plans. Or, they’ll start blowing stuff up, if it’s not cyanide to the rescue. I’m surprised they are calling the End a year early, unlike the debauched psychedelic movement’s 2012 prophecy that has to do with the end of the Mayan calendar. [snip]
I expect this to turn out about the same as previous “end of the world” parties so I’ll probably continue with plan A: Take my grandson to one of my grand nephew’s birthday party.
There’s always a slight chance that a dinosaur killer rock will sneak in and blast us, or it’ll turn out to jackpot day for one of the other long shot dooms, but I’m not betting my farm on it.
But what about the solar minimum? It’s just not fair to cut that short.
I’m engaging in amateur prophecy! I predict widespread cognitive dissonance amongst some true believers at the non-return of Jesus on 21-May-2011.
I will put odds that I do better than Harry Camping with my prophesying.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.—–Matthew 24:36
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.—- 1 Thessalonians 5:2
How ever it was calculated, it wasn’t by understanding the Bible.
Tomorrow I’m going to watch a neice ride her horse. Not exactly biblical, but I’ll be with family if the endtimes arrive. At least I won’t be working!
I bought a fresh lottery ticket, watered the grass in the yard, and didn’t bother to turn out the lights behind me today. Going to take an extra hot and long bath, and stay up late on line.
Oh, and beer. I plan to drink a lot of beer.
Us amateur prophets need inspiration.
I’m hiking in the White Mountains so I’ll be closer to heaven and beat the rush. If I don’t get picked, I’ll stop and loot all the way home.
First on the list – a power cord for my laptop. All I have here is battery power. Oops.
Half way though the 21st and still here in Aus
According to Camping Hisself, the official progressive Rapture begins at 6pm Friday, May 20, wherever that is first.
It’s 9pm where I am, PST, and by Camping’s measure, we’ve got 2 hours from right now!
It’s been nice knowing you guys, but I’m ready for my virgins…or raisins, depending on how you interpret that other book… Now, the big question::
WHO GETS VOTED OFF??
The only difference between these dopes and the Warmist charlatans is that they are just one step more stupid in naming the actual day.
The Warmists love to leave things nice and fuzzy – a decade or two in resolution, lest anyone remembers when the apocalypse was due. And it’s much easier to keep pushing it out to say, the 2050’s, or “by the end” of the century.
Anyway, I’m just heading to the beach, not as in “On the Beach”, but to photograph “my” bay as did my great-grandparents and marvel that the sea level is the same there as it was in the 1880’s.
Well, if I’m home I’m going to listen to Dodge City Marshal Allen Bailey streaming from High Plains Public Radio (10:00 til 1:00): http://www.hppr.org/
Unless there’s still thunderstorms about.
OK S.
Ha, procrastination does pay after all! I haven’t filed my tax return yet, so I guess I won’t worry about it now that the end is nigh . . .
Since I am a Christian (and not affiliated with Family Radio), I will do what I usually do:
1) Live my life as through I *could* meet my maker at any moment,
2) Continue working and planning for the future,
3) Spend time with family and friends, and
4) Try to enjoy every day without undue worry.
I’m losing track of apocalypse and doom scenarios. At last we have a definite one with a date.
I shall die in a massive tidal wave from the Thames Estuary
Its already may 21st in New Zealand, and I can confirm I am still alive at the world, well at least my part of it, is fine!
I’m putting a pair of shoes, socks, pants, undies, t-shirt, shirt onto the side walk in front of my place and videoing it. Lots of people walk by. So it’ll be fun to see their reactions. Muh ha ha! ];)]
I have figured out when the end of the world is. Its the day you die.
