OK, so tomorrow is the rapture.
I was watching local news this morning. People claiming to be Christian and believe in the second coming were calling these folks crazy.
Why?
You'll find out tomorrow heathen.

That ought to take care of our spending/tax problem.

Not necessarily considering after the rapture our entire legislature will be left behind.
Well it will take the folks that are ascending off the hook (tea partiers, mormons?).
It is so hard to know what is appropriate attire for Rapture. Do I wear something roomy and soft for angels to fly me to heaven or something lightweight and breathable for the hot temperatures here on Earth? Are nice sandals fine with either?
I am leaning toward something reversable or maybe layers, just to have options.

Yes RM, I hear Jesus is good with sandals.
I have Goodwill picking up a bunch of stuff in the morning, so I'm taking all of the cloths and arranging them out by the curb to look like the people wearing them just vanished in mid-stride.
Just to see how passers-by react.
Apparently it's supposed to start at around 6pm, so I'm going to squeeze in a round of golf if the weather is nice.

We should be at Mayfest/Blue Dome/Deco District about that time. Wondering if I should just leave my car unlocked with the keys in it
Is there an official Rapture beer? I think I need to pick something up.

That is the best thing I have heard all day! I beg you to follow through.
I'm working overtime tomorrow. My supervisor said he'd authorize double time for us if the world ended. So I have a positive financial stake in this, you know.
As I stated in another thread, I am going on a cruise this Sunday. This is what I anticipate happening (h/t from 2012 movie):

If my boss is one of them Christian people, should I go ahead and ask for a check early tomorrow?

Nah, if (s)he knows the end is near, there is probably no money in the account and the check will probably bounce anyway.
;D
I'll be most likely sitting in the hospital with my daughter who's appendix just burst. This means that she will likely be the only one leaving, and that will be my indication that it happened and it is time for me to take over the post rapture world.
Is she going to be OK, custosnox?

I hope she pulls through. The industrial strength antibiotics usually help.
On a lighter note, here's some advice for anyone who thinks they will indeed be subject to rapture:
I thought this was a thread about Mayfest.

Got a bit of an infiection that she has to work through, but beyond that she is doing fine. They anticipate she will be out of the hospital by tuesday, so I guess they didn't take into account that today will be the end
