The Judgement Day thread

Word is, the end begins on May 21st. What is everyone's plans?

Showing up for work. Now if this thing turns out to be real, let me know and I'll instead go party on the beach… if the sun ever bothers to come out!

There's another date that some keep talking about. Think it's December 21st, 2012. I can't keep track of all these dates and how often the world is supposed to end. It's more like ending a month without slipping into another billing cycle.

So did the rapture happen or not? I need to call some of my relatives to see if they are still around.


We were out camping on judgment day. Had this conversation at the picnic table:

Three year (almost 4) old daughter: Mommy, where do flies sleep?
Mommy: In HELL.
Daughter: What's Hell?


Later we went on a 3.8 mile RT hike to a waterfall. Our dog stopped to take a dump off to the side. My daughter starts yelling "Three fucking shits!" at the top of her lungs and was so proud of herself that she repeated it another half dozen times. She did a 3.8 mile hike with quite a bit of elevation loss and gain. In three hours flat (The book said it takes 3 hours 40 minutes). Without getting carried once. She can say whatever the fuck she wants to.

Did you post that from work, because I don't think that would get past the censors?

When it comes to censoring language, my work appears to be more diligent in censoring email than the internet.

I'm in deep doo-doo..I went on a raping and pillaging rampage all day Saturday afternoon. Now my missus is well pissed off and I have some 'splain'n to do.

God decided he wasn't ready for the Rapture, so he had it aborted.

Yet another hysterical abortion joke! hahhaha

i fell into the same trap.  based on how high and mighty the missus acts and how much she talks down on everything i do, i totally assumed she would be front of the line for the rapture.  so i went nuts on saturday too, assuming i was off the hook… now i'm REALLY in the dog house.  biggest no-show in history!

actually it was rather funny - for those whom abortion isn't a sacred cow that can't even be referred to in jest.  YMMV.

It's a child, not a cow.

Whether you're pro-choice or pro-life I think most can agree that an abortion is an unfortunate event.

Resorting to a coathanger or a back alley when one is unable to have one performed in the safe confines of a doctor's office is more unfortunate.




P.S. Anything can be funny if given the proper context. Get the stick out of your ass (or the hanger out of your vagina).

Yeah that kind of abortion is even funnier. hahahaha

So you're one of those parents that prides themselves on unleashing an ill-mannered semi-feral brat upon the world?

Oh, look! We get to play this game again in October.  :D

My apologies for the unneccessary sarcasm.

I guess I would hope that you're not too blind to see that different people have different sensitivities. It doesn't mean that they "have a stick up their ass", it means their sensitivities are different than yours. If Person A made a joke that referenced rape, gaybashing, or the Holocaust "in the right context" and Person B stated they were offended, would that mean that Person B had a stick up their ass?

As for my own personal views, I'm pro-choice. I want abortions to be safe, legal, and increasingly rare. While the pro-lifers are hellbent on the unreastic notion of making abortion nonexistent, the other side isn't focused enough on the "increasingly rare" part of the equation.

Haha.  ;D Nobody was in sight. What is allowed around mommy and daddy is definitely not allowed around other people.

I'm one of those parents who pride themselves on having a healthy, athletic, creative, nature appreciating child not addicted to a corporate spoon-fed Disney/video games/high fructose/meat centered existence.

Rhett, I get where you're coming from and appreciate it. I've got a wild sense of humor, am pro-choice and a woman but I too thought that it was delivered a little heavy handed though only bothered enough to frown for a moment or two.

You know as well as I do that if you would have made the very same kind of joke about one of the very same jokesters' sensitive spots, the way they are around here, they would have relished tearing you a new one!

let's remember the statement/joke that started this lil' venture into pro-/anti-abortion:

Herr wrote:

there was no mention of a baby.  there was no judgement on the desirability/need for fewer abortions.  just the use of the verb "to abort" got james going.

do people get equally upset whenever a shuttle launch is aborted?  there's that word again, not allowed using it!  are there pro-lifers at cape canaveral, with "shuttle launches don't deserve to be aborted" signs? ;D

So this Irish gay black jew walks into a bar………oh, wait….never mind…

I wonder if James gets offended when they abort space shuttle launches?
