OT: END OF THE WOLRD THREAD

AM or PM?

I had a Great Lakes Blackout and a Dogfish Raison d' etre at the Jet Rock Cafe in PHL earlier.    Now I'm just listening to the rain hit the house.  I guess the world ends in a rainy whimper.  T.S. Eliot was right.

If you are ever in the Philly airport, the Jet Rock is just a little ways into Terminal B and has over 30 taps.  The food is hit or miss.  Overpriced, but what isn't at the airport.

Pretty busy day...

now if only the World would stay in tact, it's gonna be quite a fun decade for M Sports

So, the world is not ending?  Bring on the beer and liquor that I was already drinking a few hours ago!  Got to love the holidays!! WOO

That's all, folks. No refunds are available.

Promised me that I will survive, so if I will then I'm taking all of you with me and you're surviving too, so there!

Well.  Only four hours left.  It's been a pleasure gentlemen (and gentlewomen).

If the world does end, it'll end with an undefeated Michigan Basketball ranked #2 in the national.  So that's a plus.

Knowing that the world may end before I have been admitted to the University of Michigan, I will be drinking Tennessee Honey from the bottle tho evening. I only hope that we live until Festivus, so I can air my grievances to you all.

No seriously im drinking Brady
Hoke kool aid

 I always knew the world couldn't end on a MSU win streak

The world is ending, and I'm working a night shift in the E.R. Should be drinking something delicious right now.

I am in the GMT +8 time zone now. The night is already upon us. So far it's been a pretty mundane and uneventful day.

I just got up to take my last piss on this Earth. At least I'll go out sleeping on a nice comfy Tempur-Pedic bed.

and I feel fine.

The Mayans aren't that accurate. Their prediction was that evil mountain trolls would rise up from Appalachia to commit unspeakable horrors upon those who consider themselves enlightened and great. This happened in 2007. Trust me, I was there. It was HORRIFIC!

I just took a glorious piss after a long night of drinking. Wake me up when shit starts hitting the fan.

I cant wait for my 12 virgins in 1 hour.

Hey, before it all ends, I want Section1 to post a picture of himself. I always wonder what that bastard looks like.

The Mayans should have worried less about the end of the world happening in 2012 and more about white people.

28 minutes and counting, and for whatever reason, I'm doing laundry.



I love you all. Go Blue.

Before we go, al just please don't run Vincent smith up the middle again

....as I woke up about twenty minutes ago:

Last meal: Reheated leftover pizza

Oh, and coffee, just in case they are wrong.

Oh, god! I hear the wind blowing and I think a dog just barked. The animals always know first!

Well that was dumb.

Hello, hello, hello...  is there anybody out there?.... 

Is it over? I was hoping I could sleep through it, so I was wondering if I should go back to bed.

Man, that John Cusak's full of shit......

I guess we dodged that bullet.  Damn.  Now I have to go Christmas shopping.

Slight false alarm!  Everyone back to bed!

This the end, beautiful friend. Oh wait it's 6:51, my bad. I guess I have to work today now.

F*cking Mayans.

We survived!

WORST. MAYAN. CALENDAR. EVER.

I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD ALL MY POSSESSIONS EXCEPT MY INTERNET PROVIDING DEVICE WHICH IS HOW I'M COMMUNICATING THIS TO YOU

here's how it actually went

Mayan guy: Alright, now to put December 22 on the calen....OH NOES!!! THE SPANISH, WHICH I SOMEHOW KNOW ABOUT, ARE HERE WITH....SMALL POX OR SOMETHING!!!

and I didn't even get a snow day today from this so called Blizzard

Later in the day, where the Mayan head priest takes full responsibility?

No apocalypse? Don't be too disappointed: there will undoubtedly be another prediction of the end of the world within the next year. My guess, though, is that when the end comes, no one predicts it, but it comes like a thief in the night.

Did I miss it?  Man seems like  I miss everything.

You can head over to Amazon and get a year of ESPN Magazine/Insider for $5.  Link

I would suggest immediately cancelling auto-renewal by going to the Subscription Manager as there's no guarantee you will be able to renew for the same price in 1 year.

Deal lasts until the 25th.  Thought I would post it, especially since it's from Amazon and not some questionable online magazine site.

dammit all, i was really counting on those mayans to come through for me... should've studied for my test last night

When I was a student, I used to think that if the world ended, it should happen just before I started studying for finals, not a day or two afterwards.

I'm going to be very disappointed if the world ends at 4:01pm. That means I will have spent the last hours of my life working. I was hoping it would take place while I was asleep. Who doesn't want to go out in there warm bed?

Stupid Mayans!

The Mayans never predicted the end of the world today.  Today is just the end of their 144,000 day calendar cycle.  Another one would've started tomorrow.  Today is essentially Mega New Years Eve to a Mayan, so if they were still around, they'd be celebrating, not panicking.

How many a-holes do you think did/said something really stupid because they actually believed this foolishness?

The Mayans were the original rick roll. 

But since it is the solstice, I have had my yuzu bath.  Maybe some whiskey (suntori time!) later.

We're having a party tonight (not related to the end-of-world).  So this is what I'm serving:

Beer -- Shiner Bock, Sierra Nevada Celebration, Stella Artois, Fat Tire, Pilsner Urquell, Miller Lite

Wine -- Root 1 Sauvignon Blanc, Caymus Conundrum, Educatated Guess Cabernet, Llai Pinot Noir

Liquor - Gentleman Jack, Crown Royal Reserve, Grey Goose

Misc -- Mike's Hard Pink Lemonade

I also bought a bottle of Absinthe out of curiosity and will play it by ear on that one. 

Should be a heck of an evening!

It just so happens the Mayan's version of April Fools happens only once and today is the day. They are all laughing in their pyramid graves.

Don't you get it? This is the end, and all the righteous are gone but we're left behind. It's just hard to notice because there weren't that many righteous people. I'll check my grandmas condo. If all I find is an afghan in her empty chair, we'll know.

I don't think they knew about Leap Year - the end is nigh!

Did the world end yet up in Michigan.  Down here in Ohio it looks like it has already begun!

Oh wait....

Nevermind - that's the way it always looks around here.  My bad.

The end of the world is never off topic. C'mon.

it will have the appearance of a gigantic buckeye nut.

I think a lot of lawyers assumed the world was ending this morning.  I only had 20 new emails in my inbox when I opened Outlook.  (I'm sure its not because of the holidays - those a--holes never take vacation days.)

6 pm before I absolutely have to go Christmas shopping. Very well

Looking forward to spending Christmas with the family and seeing The Hobbit. Also, can't wait to see Zero Dark Thirty.

In Key West and its only 69 degrees right now, so maybe there is something to this? I'm going to drink like it's ending, anyway.

20 seconds to impact.

Ten... nine...

eight... seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two...

one... Impact.

This is Crystal Palace. Are you still on?

This is Crystal Palace. Are you still on? Anyone there?

That's affirmative, sir.

Yeah! We're here!

- Jesus H Christ! We're still here! - Our boards are showing impact.

No, sir. No impact. We're alive and well.

Did it seem like this apocalypse prediction got a ton of more pub that the previous 12 that were predicted this past decade? 

Growing up, I was always told the world would end in the year 2000 (Y2K).  Then June 6, 2006 (6-6-6) was supposed to be death day.  And we had several in between that made the news.  But those Mayans ended up getting the most press: articles, news segments, school closings, survival gear advertisements. 

Sorry, world.  No excuse to blow off your Christmas shopping now. 

Damn and I really wanted to try lizard sex. I heard the girls with forked tongues are masters.

Le sigh...

Shit: I missed it.  Are we now in some alternate reality where the world didn't end?

I see two people have downvoted this thread.  Must be bitter Mayans.

Suck it Mayans. This is why there is no Mayan flag on the Moon.

= end of the world.  I have spoken.

but we got a little scare last night @ 6 11 pm our power went out for about five to ten mln. Not the end of the world but very interesting. I am not sure what caused this but we did have high winds last night. Was anyone else besides my entire niegborhood without power around 6 pm last night?
