Perhaps cyclists should volunteer!

[KnottedYet]

I'm sure the Post-Apocalyptic Pony Express could use cyclists as well as ponies!

Oh, this made my day.

[OakLeaf]

That reminded me I hadn't looked at Betty Bowers (http://www.bettybowers.com/) in a while.

Are we allowed to post this stuff here? :o

[lauraelmore1033]

Oh my, Betty Bower is so close to a coupla people I know, it's almost hard to tell it's over the top raging satire...

[marni]

betty bowers is alive and well right here next door to me in Katy Texas, which is why I always do on bike training sessions in the garage with the garage door oen so I can wave as she goes by.

I can't even look at that stuff as satire. I mean, it's funny, but after a million times of being told I was going to go to hell when I was a 15 year old who had just moved to Florida, I learned really fast that not everyone has the same ideas about life.
Marni, you must be kinder than me.

Apparently it is 6pm Saturday... in every time zone... in order.... starting with California. (oooh, those *naughty* Californians!)

[bmccasland]

So where to the rest of us meet to party at 6:30 pm? :rolleyes: Or should we wait until after the various pets left behind are taken care of first?

My wonderful nextdoor neighbor, who is a devout Christian, had this response: But I have a play the next two weekends! (and his play has a Christian satire theme, and is hosted in a church).

Someone started an event on Facebook: "Post rapture looting." It's up to over 250,000 attendees. :cool:

[sundial]

You can be sure it won't happen on the date set by Camping. ;)

In the event that I go poof, someone will have a hey day with all my bikes. :D

[sgtiger]

If any of my immediate neighbors go poof, I'm annexing their homes. I will be using one as additional bike storage and workshop. The others I'm thinking of razing for a community garden and mini goat farm, but I'm willing to see what other ideas anyone else in the neighborhood has. Just sayin' :rolleyes::p:D

If you ride a 47 cm I will take very good care of them :p

You're in luck! My Pistola is a 47 and she's steel.

[Trek420]

I can take Paypal! And if you sign up for this service and don't go ::::: poof ::::: the money raised goes to Trips for Kids and or my sister's pledge goal for the Chron's and Colitis Foundation half-marathon. :cool: :D

I read over on Reddit that a flashmob is planning to leave out crumpled sets of clothing (shoes, pants, shirts) to look as though people were raptured here and there on Saturday.

Imagine thinking you'd been left behind on May 21, when you were SURE you'd be raptured.... "OMG, here's some clothes left by an ascended woman! I'm left behind! I'm one of the cursed heathen! HORROR!!!"

That information made my day. Wish I hadn't just dropped off a Salvation Army bag.

[OakLeaf]

I read something about people planning to leave their old shoes out ... with lumps of dry ice in them, so they'd still be smoking from the "rapture." :D

[Crankin]

I hope it happens after my graduation.

[sundial]

Imagine the look on someone's face when they discover my prosthetic knee. :D

[Trek420]

It's 6:40 Pacific time, I'm still here. Check in anybody? ;)

[bmccasland]

yup, still here. Just another day in Paradise. :cool:

[marni]

oh fie, I slept through it. My bad.

[Eden]

OMG - I'm still here - those drivers that have been telling me for years that I'm evil MUST HAVE BEEN RIGHT!!!

[OakLeaf]

We went to hear a couple of bands play tonight. One of the guitarists had "LEFT BEHIND" Sharpie'd on his guitar body. :D

[sundial]

Not gone poof yet. ;)

[PamNY]

Well, finally we're getting some answers.

The end of the world has been rescheduled (http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/05/23/us/AP-US-Apocalypse-Saturday.html?hp).

[jobob]

Eh, guess I need to throw my 52nd birthday party a day early. No biggie.

[malkin]

I wonder if they'll keep the billboards up but just change the month.

How convenient. I thought the rapture was to happen last saturday, those of us left behind would suffer all summer, then the world would end in Oct. So now it all happens in one day? Someone remember to drag this thread back to life on Oct 22nd :D

Well, I guess we'll just have to celebrate my birthday a day early. Unless the whole thing is rather anti-climactic, in which case we can resurrect this thread and have cake at the same time!

Your BD is 10/23 as well? Cool - birthday ride ;)

[OakLeaf]

resurrect this thread

<snort> Maybe that'll be taken care of for us. :p

22nd, actually. But birthday ride all the same. I actually still owe myself a 23-miler from last year.

Oak, pun unintended!

I don't intend to go Camping then either.

[Eden]

Rescheduled again........

This is guess number 3, does he get he have to give up his firstborn if he gets it wrong again?
