Good question. The song never says where those men actually come from.

Once raptured, can one be de-raptured? Or is that like regaining virginity?

Just for visial clarity, would the men be nekkid?

I hope so. It's like two teams: shirts and skins. Only it's heavenly robes and skins.

then will they be preselected? 'Cause that guy from Walmart -I'd rather be raptured than see his sweaty balls and wiggly worm followed by his marshmallow stackin-rings stomach hurtling towards me...

When the Weather Girls sang It's Raining Men I doubt those are the kinds of men they visualized.

But they exist, dammit!

Now I'm thinking the rapture isn't really going to be awesome at all. :(

IM - when I read that about the raining men vs. the rapturing folks - I LOL'd pretty loud. Like a loud, barky laugh. It's pretty fucking funny. :D

Inspiration: driving home listening to Fly 92.9 (they play ANYTHING) and they played Raining Men, and I started thinking about the rapture thread...etc.

:blush:

here's hoping that today's tropical fucking stew of steam and wet does indeed come down in hunky man-shapes.

Agreed, my sistah in humidity-hatin'

Do you think I have time to order his book?

I lawled

6PM local time? So it will spread from east to west. At least we'll have some warning.

I'm glad the micro brew/ local food tasting I bought tickets for is on the 20th, I'd hate to think I dropped $80 for nothing.

What if we legislated a leap-hour at that point?

Kind of like the 13th floor in some tall buildings. I like that.

4 more days. I'm so excited. This is going to be super excellent, I just know it. Much, much better than Y2K.

Rapture? I thought that was hand clapping music?

If rapture is the final solution on earth, then is overture where we go to get our 50 virgins?

Walmart?

No...wait.

The good news is that gas prices will drop significantly after May 21.

Not so. The anti Christ (who we don't know yet) will make a speech at the UN letting us all know that the people were whisked away by a strange energy field as a result of our dependency on fossil fuels.

It'll be a boring speech but the real fun happens in 3 1/2 years when he's assassinated and rises from the dead.

Mark my words. Heathens.

Best quote I've seen so far:

"Dear God

Saturday is bad for me. Raincheck?"

hahahahahhahahahaha

I am getting SO excited. If I could keep my friend from getting drunk too early I'd make her have a rapture party.

What time will the devastating earthquake make its way to Ohio?

You mean it hasn't already?

We're having a big, wet, messy spring snowstorm at the moment. Does that count? Also, are cats subject to the rapture? Are we going to have to live in a world without puddy-tats?

I don't WANT to be raped, I mean raptured, if my kitty can't come along. Eff that. We'll brave the end of the world together...puh, can't skeer US!

If you facebook, check out: Scare the Christians on "JUDGMENT DAY" and leave shoes with dry ice around!

that idea sounds Capitol!

Just two shopping days until The Rapture, folks ... make sure you have those loose ends tied up ...

I wish I would have known about this a little sooner:

Lucky the folks with a zombie-proof house - it appears that it will serve a duel purpose this weekend.

Btw, it is Zombie Awareness Month http://www.zombieresearch.org/awareness.html I'm ordering an awareness ribbon as I'm pretty sure I'll still be here come Sunday.

At first I didn't see how it was going to keep the undead at bay.
Very Bunkerish!

Hurry before its too late!

HAHAHHAHAHAA!

I'll be here to feed my cat. Gawd probably doesn't want me. *sniffle snort*

Infin Monkey - MY GODDESS! WHAT is that shiny, glowing celestial sphere?????

Is it a sign of the coming rapture????

Calm down dear, it's an onion.

I'm ready for the rapture.
I have no money left in my bank account.
I have finished my Moon Pies and Pork Skins.
I said goodbye to Tiger.
I've seen Basshunter's huge cock.

I won't be taken up of course, but intend to move into the vacant house of a good Christian family - preferably one with a pool, and drink myself to death. Then Diz can eat my face. Seems like a reasonable plan to me.

I'm really confused about some of the rapture logistics. It seems that the rapture really starts tonight? I'm so confused. How am I supposed to prepare for the rapture when I can't get over my direction and space/time continuum dyslexia? My plan was to drink and drug and rape and pillage until about an hour before, then repent my ASS off.

Now wtf am I supposed to do?

Will one of you smart people please help me understand when I can expect rapture activity in West Central Ohio?

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...onight/239177/

Um... 6 P.M.?

What about those areas that don't celebrate daylight savings time?

Bzzzzzzz.

No, I read that it was going to be a series of earthquakes, time zone by time zone.

Did you read the quote?

Puh, you're not allowed on my Rape and Pillage Bus Tour and Luncheon Excursion, buster.

Yeah, it's like doing the wave at a ball game stadium. See, it starts at 6 p.m. on the date line, which is like 2 a.m. for me, end then the rapture wave travels along the world and reaches me at 6 p.m. tomorrow. But I'll know about it when I wake up because all the dwellars in Oz, a former penal colony, will be left behind and will be posting about it here.

So I'll have all day to wail and gnash my teeth, or maybe go to my kids soccer games, and mow the lawn if it dries out enough. At least we know the end of the world won't be by fire. Too damp around here.

Ahhh.

What, no pillaging, at the very least? You can repant, I mean repent, right before.

I can't wait to wail, but I'll have to wear my night guard for teeth gnashing as I don't want to screw up my dental work.

Esp. since your dentist was 'pre-raptured'

Dude, you're on fire today.

Pre-raptured. HAGGIS.

I think I finally nailed down the proper dosage...

I plan to just keep setting my clock back and the wave will just go right around me.

pre-raptured. I like it. No, your honour, I didn't murder him, he was preraptured and I was just assisting. he said i could have his jewellery.

So, if it's like a big mexican wave all around the world, could you be in at the beginning and then fly backwards a bit and get re-raptured? Maybe you could even repent en route.....?

I've got 18 hours to find Matt Damon and a can of crisco!

will you get younger?

Question for the organizers: What about my Netflix disks? I have two at home that I haven't watched. Maybe I should switch to the streaming only option. Will that still be available?

The way I see it, we get 5 months until The End of Days© so I'd say watch them at your leisure.

Something I'm going to do post-rapture is to pronounce leisure "leasure." I'm converting to British after the rapture.

we don't pronounce it leasure. :mad: think French "Les jours"

Lay jurors?

You know, lezzzzzhure. Rhymes with pleasure.

Well, Robert Scorpio on General Hospital said it that way.

yeah, rhymes with pleasure. but leasure doesn't :lol:

I don't know how to do phonetics. I dropped that class in college. It was my last requirement for a minor in English but it was not only sooooooooooo boring it was on Thursday morning and as Wednesday was the big party night because mostly there weren't classes on Thursday morning (because of chapel) and I just couldn't make it.

So I wish I could explain how I say pleasure and leisure and how I'm going to speak differently after the rapture, but I can't.

I wonder how bad the roads will be? I might try to get to MI, say mid-June? I guess it won't even have to be a weekend, though there will probably still be students wanting their refund checks.

How do you pronounce rapture? With a long a, like ape?

Yes, and I pronounce ass with a long a.

Well if the predictions are accurate they may be a little torn up with earthquake fissures. However

1. They keep predicting fuck-off tornadoes that never happen. Bunch of bloody drama queens. What are the chances of them being any more accurate with this earthquake thing?
2. How would we tell the fucking difference? I have to count passengers everytime I hit a pothole, make sure I didn't lose any

Ummm... Who do you think will have best rapture coverage? Fox or CNN?
