According to the Mayan calendar, the end of the world will occur on December 21st. In preparation for such a traumatic event, Ghoti, RW and I are going trout fishing in Arkansas. Are any of you other folks making preparations for Armageddon?

That sounds like more fun than what I'll be doing. I'll be at work when the end of the world happens, again . I believe it will happen this time though. I was doing some research online about all the solid facts on why the world will end the 21st. Here are all the reasons I found:

......

Ive heard a couple different things. Theres supposed to be some sort of polar shift which will make the Earth's gravity reverse and also cause earthquakes, tidal waves, ect. Ive also heard that theres a sizeable asteroid thats supposed to pass close enough to us that it could enter into Earths gravitaional pull. Not sure what to think really. At least theres some science behind the apocolypse this time. Not like Y2K where nukes were supposed to launch themselves and planes were going to fall out of the sky and the banks and stock market were going to go to hell. Either way, Ill be at work. Whether hurricane, blizzard, or mayan apocalypse, people still want their pizza delivered. I dunno. Maybe Ill take the day off to be with my family just in case.

If 12/21/12 is our last I day, I'll be with my wife.

Thats pretty interesting. I never even thought of that.

I have another one but it has a swear word in it so I cant post it but it says this edited.....

Maybe if the Spanish hadn't wiped them all out, the Mayans would have finished there fricken calender .

Or maybe the guy making the calender died and they figured he made it far enough so nobody else needed to pick up where he left off for awhile.

This is my favorite take on it.

My wife and I are going to a play at Hanover Tavern on December 21st.

If anyone out there believes the world will come to an end please send me all of your bass fishing equipment and tackle and I will dispose of it in a professional and careing way.

My brother-in-law has the basement stockpiled with food, water, guns, and ammo. They recently finished the Y2K stash. Me, I'll continue waiting around for my shoulder to heal and the ice to melt. If in fact it truly is the end, It's been a slice and I'll see you on the other side.

Hell, I guess I'll just go fishing. Seems like a good excuse!

Dang, my fishing license has three months left on it.

Just so you know,in addition to the requisite fishing tackle,food and adult beverages, I'll be bringing my portable cold-fusion powered chrono-synchlastic infundibulum generator. If by chance the world goes all apocalyptic on us, I'll fire that bad boy up and step through a worm hole into the parallel dimension of my choice.

You're welcome to join me, but if you go to Arkansas while Kent and I are fishing in Missouri, I doubt you'll have time to get there.

Well after your bragging post I thought maybe you pi--ed her off and she told you that's the end of your world.

Ozzy said the world isnt ending. So I figure if the Prince of Darkness, says it, it must be true. Me I will be fishing with my son. Then taking him to my mums house. And my wife and are going to dinner and then doing something else until the blessed occasion arrives.

Oh, when the world ends

We'll be burning one

The White River is solely in Arkansas!

You're almost right. The White River has its origin in Arkansas, but then flows Northward to Lake Tanneycomo and then into Table Rock lake; Both in Missouri. Table Rock then flows back South to Arkansas's Bull Shoals lake. We will be fishing Tanneycomo. I was incorrect in my OP.

Ahh. You meant the entire river system. I got ya

I wonder how many "believers" have quit work and stopped paying their bills/mortgage

Im wondering what the population difference will be the next day.

I think I need to convinvce the wife to celebrate Xmas on the 20th this year...just in case. I'd hate to think I wasted my money on gifts that won't ever get unwrapped.

I will be on Facebook to see who posts their death first.

The family and I will be in Disney on the 21st for the Christmas parade. The fireworks show is pretty spectacular.
