Saturday, May 21 Rapture party ideas

[SpeedRacer 1]

So this group out in California has scheduled the Rapture/Judgement Day for this coming Saturday. Supposedly at 6 PM in each time zone sequentially.

We need some party ideas. Such as this one illustrated here, involving helium-filled blow-up dolls:

I have to work. I may well cross from central to eastern at 5:30 (central time). Does that mean I'll miss it?

I won't be in either one at the specified hour.

In That Other Forum we were talking about what might happen if you were under canopy just as the Rapture occurred, and got wooshed up to heaven in the updraft along with all the true believers.

I guess if you haven't been saved, you'd better do a jump on Saturday and pull just before 6 PM.

I'll be at a boogie at the Farm probably making sure that there is absolutely no way I could be considered one of the "innocents" to be saved in the rapture

6pm is that GMT or PST
It's important, here in OZ everything id ahead of you lot, i dont want to sleep through it.

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

[SpeedRacer 1]

Last I heard it was 6 PM in every time zone. The Rapture and earthquakes will roll through all the time zones from east to west. Very convenient.

Wait a minute. Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time.

So... we're actually an hour behind the rest of our time zone. So when it's 6PM in the rest of the Mountain time zone it'll only be 5PM here.

So, for us in Tucson, should we expect the Rapture at 5PM when the rest of the time zone gets hit, or at 6PM our time, at the same time the Pacific time zone takes the plunge?

I mean, hey: if we're gonna get it right, let's get it right, no?

hmmm, yeah, they probably didn't predict Daylight Savings Time when they wrote the Bible. Maybe Daylight Savings was a plot from Satan to confuse us. His other name is Lucifer, right? Doesn't Lucifer mean light bearer??

I think I'm onto something here...

In any case, we should all start drinking before 5 PM just to be on the safe side.

I wonder how they worked that out since any concept of time zone didn't come into being until the railroads.

Even the idea of a 24 hour clock wasn't widely accepted. Some still used 10 hour sundials (with dawn and dusk being 2 "extra" hours) and for the vast majority of the world there was pretty much only sunrise, noon and sunset. Not only that, since it's May 21, 6pm in some parts of the world would actually be counted as a different day entirely since, according to the way days used to be counted, sunset would have already occurred and therefore be a different day altogether.

Meh . . . the guy's a nut.

Personally I won't be partying. I'm going to lay off the booze on Saturday, because it'll be tough enough dealing with the Tribulation without a raging hangover.

Yeah, time zones. 'Cos that is the reason why the rapture is a stoopid idea...

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

[normiss 858]

I'm sure "He" knew that.

This is what you might see happening on Saturday:

I haven't really been tracking this but I heard it was 6pm EST.

Either way, I'm sure maybe half crazed zealots will off themselves making the end game a reality...for them.
I'll have a beer to celebrate the dropping of the chlorine tablet into the gene pool.

If you live next to a true believer, fire up the party just before 6 - loud music and everything. When the cops show up ask them, "I'm sorry, who did you say complained?"

You don't have to outrun the bear.

[SpeedRacer 1]

Any food & drink ideas? I'm making deviled eggs. Maybe bloody marys, but I need a good recipe for that.

I'll be jumping. It'll be beer out of the fridge and maybe Burger King on the way home.

[Bertt 0]

Deviled eggs, Devil's food cupcakes, and definitely the Four Horsemen (requires lots of shot glasses):
1 shot each of Scotch whiskey (Johnnie Walker), Irish whiskey (Jameson), Tennessee whiskey (Jack Daniels), and Bourbon (Jim Beam). Set 'em up and slam 'em. You may now enter the party.
Be sure to play Charlie Daniel's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".

You don't have to outrun the bear.

I'm making 1-up cupckes (cupcakes that look like the 1-up mushrooms in super mario brothers) to save my friends and I. Gotta go find those mushrooms!

some sort of crazy liquor cheeseburger party

If one would want to hedge their bet they should get to the eastern edge of a time zone, watch what is happening on the other side. If you see people disappearing, grab your bible.
