Speaking of rapture, time for some Bioshock 2

Continue preparing for the zombie apocalypse that's going to occur in the future, because the world isn't going to end today.

Lawn chair on roof of house + cooler full of beers and then just observe the mayhem.

Don't tell me that Woot believes this whole May 21st end of the world thing too.....

If it's good enough for our baked goods, it's good enough for us.

Drink.

Find my towel, head to the closest bar and drink. Then try and learn Vogon really, really quick.

One hour? Have wild, loud, freaky sex with the wife on the roof of the house, then bring the kids up and spend the other 59 minutes following Eddie1987's plan.

Although I'd bring a rifle just in case it looks like it's going to be an agonizing end. Or if the neighbor I hate happens to walk outside.

I think a couple of other posters have it almost right, but I would go with the lawn chair, cooler of beer on the roof with my rifle and take random potshots at cars. Then when the world doesn't end, I get to spend some time in the rubber room.

I'd ignore it unless every does die, then, if i'm the last one alive, do some mayhem. I figure, if i'm alone, i'm going to purgatory anyway, so why be contrite? If i'm dead, it doesn't really matter now, does it?

Get naked, and pour a large glass of the best single malt scotch I have on hand, and smoke my Cuban Cohiba 2003 limited edition cigar.

I expect from the comments here so far that there may be a lot of naked people in line at the "pearly gates." Didn't know there was a "clothing optional" part of heaven, maybe even arrow signs near the entrance pointing in opposiate directions that read "prudes" and "crudes."

Spend the time contemplating why gullible people believe in fairy tales. Then get up the next day and go to work.

May as well go out the same way I came in - naked and screaming.

Release a bunch of blow up dolls filled with helium and watch the madness ensue.

Sounds like my typical weekend!

Everybody knows that the world can't end tomorrow, because it's already tomorrow in Australia.

Ohhhh good point! I didn't even think about that....But then again the same guys saying the world is going to end tomorrow said it would end in 1994 as well. hmm good thing I'm Jewish...

Obviously you haven't been paying attention. The goober said it's going to end at 6PM on Saturday. That's a rolling time zone time, too (don't ask me!). So the world won't end until 6PM on 5/21/2011 in your current time zone. So, since it's only ~6AM in Australia, they're all fine for now.

Man, it's so hard to keep a straight face while writing that!

an hour? well with the recent weather changes here I wouldn't get very far, traffic has been starting early... so friday traffic is in full effect already.

an hour? I'd probably climb to the top of the building at work (I have roof access <3) and just watch it happen.

Also if "end of the world" meant zombies, i'd be safe in my work building on the roof :D

Clever! I'd pay to watch that.

Not so much "clever" as "stolen from a television show."

Learn. To. Read. The question is hypothetical, as in "IF the world were going to end, what would you do?" Not "REPENT, SINNERS! THE WORLD WILL END! NOW WHAT?!"

1. Send the Son to pick up the Daughter and grandbabies...
2. Have wild monkey sex with the hubby till they get back...
3. Pop open a beer and play whatever games make the g-babies laugh the most.

I'm really interested to see how he relegitimizes himself to his followers after being so sure about it- this time. SO SURE

This article may be of interest to you.

If the Forum Police don't mind, I'll copy here what I posted a couple of weeks ago, when Woot told the story of the unfortunate guy who gets to man the final shift at FamilyRadio.com:

The Dallas area is absolutely plastered with billboards proclaiming the precise date of Judgement Day, complete with a straight-from-the-used-car-lot gold starburst with the words "The Bible Guarantees It". But I can read my Bible too, and the "Family Radio" crowd completely fail to provide their interpretation of how they calculate their Biblical "guarantee".

In fact, the few verses they do cite are very, very badly misinterpreted. One cornerstone is where they claim that Christ's statement that "no one will know the date of His return" *doesn't apply* to those who enjoy His favor. And apparently, the guy behind the May 21 movement is uniquely blessed to divine God's plan.

In the end, it's a massive "emperor has no clothes" pyramid. The founder (who previously guessed 1994 as The End, but with less certainty) claims Biblical authority for his new prognostication. His followers aren't privy to the calculations -- even though they have the same Bible that he (and you and me) have. But they don't dare to disagree, because of the leader's perceived authority on the subject.

Fortunately, millenial prognostications are by their definition self-limiting. In three weeks (Make that, "less than 12 hours"), we'll either be witnessing the start of a five-month global destruction cycle, or wishing Monday were over in a more traditional sense.

My hope, as a devout Christian believer myself, is that the spiritual awakening that has drawn some people to this false message will not be wasted. I pray that on Sunday, May 22, we have a lot of folks in morning service asking "I looked for Jesus because of a crazy man's billboards, but he didn't appear... do you know where can I find Him?" To which we can answer, "Yes, I do." Armageddon not required.

At 6pm on May 21, we'll be having friends over for a barbecue, and as such well-positioned to raise a toast to life and lunacy with some fine beer.

I'd do 2 chicks

I'd get stinking drunk.

Man, it's so hard to keep a straight face while writing that!

Actually, I believe it is stated by Mr. Camper that the world shall end at 1800 Pacific Daylight Saving Time. That translates to something like a week from now in Austrailia and the second Thursday of next week in Singapor....

Personally, IF the world were going to end in an hour, I'd be at the Playboy Mansion surrounded by silicon in all its glory, and I am not talking chips!

My hope is that the religious nut-jobs will stop pushing their BS down our throats, but the rapture coming tomorrow is more likely.

order everything you want on Woot on expedited shipping...don't worry about the bill

Go talk some goofball that believes it out of his video camera, so that I can record their faces the next day when nothing happened!

And I get a free camera.

:-)

It would be more dramatic if you were duct taped to the lawn chair like Steve Buscemi in Armageddon. You can keep your drinkin' and reachin' into the cooler arm untaped.

I've been checking in with my friends in Oz. Nothing out of the ordinary happening there. But that doesn't mean we can't party like it's the end of the world here! Rock on wooters!

Go over and slap my neighbor who has been torturing me with a rooster for over a year! Then relax, drink some wine, eat lobster and plan a tropical vacation!

Really? They had that on TV? Did they have a woman spotting the blow up dolls and crashing too?
