YSaC, Vol. 219 redux

2011 May 22
by drmk

Okay, roll call! We need to figure out who was taken up in the Rapture yesterday, and who is still here. Please post if you haven’t been floated up to Heaven. (Both drmk and Dan are accounted for — no surprise there.)

And here’s an old post to amuse you if you’re still here on earth, you sinner.

    *waves at dan and drmk*

    The Rapture passed me by, too. And here I spent all yesterday polishing my halo.

    *sigh*

    Everything’s okey-dokey in the bunker.

    I’m somewhat disappointed the world didn’t end, ’cause now I have to do laundry.

      Yeah, and there’s work tomorrow. Of course, it’s possible only a very few people were taken up.

      I was on vacay, GC! Imagine my dismay at having to go to work tomorrow! Of course, I was also on a plane for large parts of yesterday. Perhaps I flew through the rapture and was accidentally missed. 8)

    Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?

    Still here, and not in the least surprised. The Doctor always saves the world.

    What do you mean, he’s not real?

    Unfortunately, so’s my sister.

    Also, this is going to be the best Friday ever*.

      I first posted at the redux, and didn’t even realize comments were open until people started commenting and they weren’t showing up under the headboards.

        I had that same experience, but noticed it before my comment became un-editable. So I fixed it 🙂 But I don’t think it really matters as merely posting in the other section proves you’re not raptured. I’m pretty sure God’s internet connection sucks.

    The rapture came knocking and asked if I’d found Jesus. I told it I had him hogtied in the closet. For some reason it left without me.

    I was much more focused on celebrating (U.S.) Armed Forces’ Day yesterday.

    So . . . there was something else supposed to happen?

    Wait, it was supposed to be about six, right?

    No wonder my steak and salmon were over-cooked about 60-65 seconds . . .
    (veggies were just fine, though)

    So, something about a Sunday, and standing guard so others may sit around; life watchful, ever-vigilant, goes on.

        It’s all right, Karmyn… our reactions to that is just more proof we’re all doomed to spend the End of Days in the boiling bowels of Down Stairs. But that’s okay… I hear they have a good retirement plan.

    Nope, no rapture here… Wait… was that supposed to be yesterday?!? Crap, I wasn’t at my appointed pickup place! I need a better way to keep track of stuff…

    Still here. I’m quite sure that no one in Congress or the state general assembly got raptured either.

    Hmmm, only 18 comments …. that means that a good number of our readers must have been Raptured!

      I haven’t chimed in for a while but I don’t want the YSaC community to get the wrong idea about my beliefs. I’m still here and I didn’t get the looting opportunity of the millennium either. I had a long list of items to acquire.

    Not raptured, just home from vacation. Or, I was, and NYC is heaven. If so, I’d expected a cleaner apartment, though still having the same cat is a nice continuity.

    I have not been raputred. I blame the lice.

    Mr. LRC is still here, as well. I blame his 35 year Grateful Dead addiction.

    In other news, we were also not eaten by velociraptors or taken up by BSG raptors.

    Ah, well. At least we are still together.

    Wow. So many people on the ysacl are still here. On the other hand, the other forum I frequent was empty. I won’t be able to fangasm with my fellow Harvey Danger fans anymore, but at least I’ll be able to lurk and read brilliant snarks over here.

    Also, I wish to share a little ditty that I posted on another friend’s facebook wall during a conversation regarding the Rapture. This version is longer than the original by a verse.

    Oooohhh…
    God’s making a list
    He’s checking it twice
    He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice…
    Jesus Christ is comin’ to town.

    With giant earthquakes that tremor on cue
    Elephant stampedes and looting cars, too
    Jesus Christ is comin’ to town.

    All the sinners left here on earth
    Will have a jubilee.
    They’re gonna steal and pillage
    All the mankind’s property

    Oh!

    You’d better not sin
    You’d better not lie
    You’d better not cheat
    I’m telling you why…
    Jesus Christ is comin’ to town!

    Jewish, so no expectation of rapture here. However, I’m in Baltimore, and the Preakness was run in my neighborhood yesterday, and last night/today is a Jewish holiday traditionally celebrated by having bonfires, so I have a feeling the local emergency responders may have felt like the world was ending and/or wished it would just end already.

      In my head, AR, I’m thinking the bonfires are to cook the horses who didn’t do so well in the race. I am sick and twisted some days.

    I wasn’t planning on being taken up. But I was planning on joining in on the post-rapture looting party. Now I’m bummed. Maybe next rapture.

    Yeah, so I’m a dedicated lurker…but de-lurking just for a moment to check-in. No Rapture for me! (unless you count playing the song)
