1. I don't think it will happen but if it does it will involve a Rush Limbaugh fart.

[Marie Marie]

41. Now that would be cataclysmic.

Noxious gas covering the planet - we are doomed.

[Jamastiene]

80. But, would a Rush Limbaugh fart really be that different

than the noxious hot air that comes out of his mouth on a daily basis? Sad to say, his farts are probably less unpleasant than his mouth.

[teddy51]

2. Where the hell is Planet X right now, anyway?

[sarisataka]

6. has a flying saucer landed in Tokyo?

[teddy51]

9. lol Have not heard of one landing.

However, I'm not sure about that.

31. As will I....the whole family will be together for Solstice dinner and gift opening. So we'll all

die together, full of ham, baked potatoes, and brownies!

[demwing]

35. so late in December, your family gives gifts and has a feaster

but it's not Christmas?

[Nay]

38. Nope--we're not Christian. For 39 years we've done Solstice. Just our preference.

[NightWatcher]

5. Other: World stops spinning and we all fly off into space as gravity fails

44. CDC Issues Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness Material

http://news.brevardtimes.com/2012/06/cdc-issues-zombie-apocalypse.html

The suspected bath salts drug cannibal zombie attack in Miami, Florida has grabbed the speculation of the U.S. public as to whether bath salts will create zombies who will cannibalize each other in more 2012 zombie attacks leading to a final flesh-eating cannibal zombie apocalypse.

In the event a zombie apocalypse does occur following a rash of zombie attacks in 2012, the U.S. Center for Disease Control has got you covered. ... In their graphic novel, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic," the CDC demonstrates the importance of being prepared ...

[FSogol]

57. Zombie Prolapse?

Ask your doctor if Zombast is right for you....

[Jamastiene]

81. Well, what about a zombie apocalypso?

It might be JUST the dance to unseat the Gangnam Style horse dance as the most popular dance of the year.

[russspeakeasy]

13. the world will end. mid 70's, slight easterly wind, partly cloudy.

[Iggo]

14. Didn't SkyNet become self-aware this year?

Rise of the machines, baby.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. The smart bet is "Nothing Happens" 'cause if it does we won't be here to point out who was wrong.

How about a Gama Burst option?






Edit To Add: Revelation, not Revelations

[DJ13]

16. Other

Obama and Boner reach a deal to screw over Americas elderly and disabled on that day.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. That seems the most likely.

[demwing]

49. Of COURSE you do!

Vote Green, that is.

[GreenPartyVoter]

50. Not for president, so I get the right to grouse if I don't like the way the guy I

_did_ vote for is doing or not doing his job.

[demwing]

71. Absolutely! Grouse if you don't like the job he is doing

but wait till he's actually doing the thing you grouse about before you begin grousing, right?

"Speculation" is just the flip side of "making stuff up"

[GreenPartyVoter]

72. Sure. As long as I add the modifier, "If he..." I guess I can say anything I want. Thanks for

playing "give the 3rd party voter a hard time for no reason." Feel free to put me on ignore if my existence bothers you so much.

Happy holidays!

[demwing]

87. Ahh!

you're free to be critical, but touchy when criticized, eh?

[GreenPartyVoter]

88. Not touchy, just observant. You didn't say anything to the person who

actually made the statement you disagree with, but you got all upset about me agreeing with that person's reply. This leads me to think that your problem is really less about criticism of the President (the one I voted for) than it is about my party affiliation.

Again, the ignore option is still available to you at any time. I would hate to see you get even more worked up over such a non-issue as my username.

[Bennyboy]

17. Everywhere we go, the music from the Dollar Store will be playing....

Rosanna!

[agent46]

19. 2012?

I think the 2012 apocalypse represents the most destructive aspect of a vast social engineering project. The new age movement, regardless of protestations that it isn't an apocalypse, but a spiritual ascension of the world for those who are keen enough to believe the dogma, is really nothing more than a different approach to pacifying a segment of the population to inaction. It is christian millennialism for those who believe they are too savvy and spiritually accomplished to be fundy christians.

[Coyotl]

27. Everyone having a separate reality make it difficult to organize, bu that won't matter after Friday.

[LongTomH]

20. The only thing that will happen on Dec 21 this year will be a lot of End Of The World Parties.....

.....followed by some truly, truly apocalyptic hangovers!!!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

It's called Party Like There's No To-Mayan. The party ends at 11:55 p.m.

43. WHEW! Space Weather Good Ahead Of December 21 Mayan Apocalypse

Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Space Weather Good Ahead Of December 21 Mayan Apocalypse

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- Many apocalyptic predictions call for doomsday ... According to the joint U.S. Air Force and NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast issued on December 17, 2012, the space weather forecast looks good ahead of the so-called Mayan calendar apocalyptic doomsday of December 21, 2012. The forecast calls for a less than 1 percent chance of a powerful Class X solar flare or major solar geomagnetic storm ... solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for M-class flares ... the geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 532 km/s ...

[slackmaster]

46. I expect potato.

47. Instantaneous Climate Change

Within 24 hours the planet will freeze., same as last time...10,000 years from now future humanity will discover frozen cattle with mouthfuls of grass and wonder wtf happened.

51. Plague of toads has always seemed an amusing sign of the Apocalypse.

62. Hey, did you feel something

[In_The_Wind]

64. Yes, I did.

[img][/img]

My bedroom shook a little.
I thought it was my chocolate lab laying down.

[kydo]

53. I voted no but

if for some reason I am wrong, I have 3 days supply of water and food. My generator died this summer so that might ensure doomsday. See I am in FL and we have hurricane supplies. And since I bought my generator 7 years ago my area in FL as not been hit hard. Of course as soon as I don't have a working generator doomsday happens. So if the world ends on friday, its my fault, my generator is broken and I just bought macs for my kids for christmas (shh they don't know - its big surprise), so no money for a generator until spring.

But honestly I think we all be here chatting about guns and the fiscal cliff on saturday dec 22, 2012. Unless Yellowstone erupts.

[Buns_of_Fire]

54. Well, I still have a box of Hornady "Zombie Max" shotgun shells...

Unfortunately, I sold my shotgun several years ago, so I'll be the one standing in the street throwing the shells at the undead little suckers as they advance...

P.S. Yes, they DO sell "Zombie Max" shotgun shells. And Mossberg sells a Model 500-ZMB Zombie Shotgun, too.

[Flabbergasted]

78. Chuckle. Nt

[union_maid]

55. I'm assuming zombie apocalypse

There's been so much buzz about it lately. Coincidence? Some people don't believe in coincidence. But just in case, I did my Xmas shopping, because you really can't count on anything these days. Question is, should I go ahead and pay the January cable bill?

[hatrack]

56. If it doesn't involve Honey Boo-Boo, it is insufficiently apocalyptic

[Buns_of_Fire]

59. A zombie Honey Boo Boo?

Mull THAT one over for a while...

[hobbit709]

58. I'm going to go up to all of the Doomsday believers tomorrow

and ask them to sign over all their assets to me.

[Renew Deal]

60. I did that during the May 21 madness next year

I asked some lady for the address to her house. She asked why. I said that I wanted to pick up her stuff after she was gone. She said no, because her kids are there. I said that they wouldn't be there after the rapture she was predicting. She never gave me that address.

This apocalypse seems to be more about "the end of the world" than the rapture, so there are less religious nuts spouting off than last time.

[grahamhgreen]

61. Other: killer bees from Brazil!

Remember that big scare?

[ellie]

63. We do not get to know our expiration date

That was in the bible or something.

It's obviously the Zombies.

SNIP...

That’s why we’re encouraging Dudeists around the world to celebrate The Now Is Here Day this Friday, December 21. While the gloom-and-doomers are running around like a bunch of fucking amateur eschatologists (Google it), let’s show the world what it means to abide.

Throw a solstice party, organize a Dudeitation flash mob, do random acts of kindness for others, fire up a jay in public in Washington State and Colorado now that the legislatures there don’t mind, have some beers, some burgers, a few laughs…anything that says with a casual rebel shrug: “Just take it easy, mankind.”

MORE...

[winetourdriver]

76. The end?

No, not this month. The end will come with the nine degree average temp rise expected by the end of this century. Agriculture as we know it will be over, and billions of people will starve to death.

[louis-t]

77. We will all be sent to Facebook prison?

I am definitely NOT quitting smoking until the 22nd.

[Jamastiene]

79. No, but if anything at all happens, it will be because some gullible,

paranoid person caused it, but it will not be some "end of the world" scenario.

[zabet]

82. Zomg!

It will end just like it did on Y2K!!!!!

84. Other. Bats or more probably republicans.
