Yeah, we'll just have to muddle through with all the beer, hookers and 50lb. stripers while you are gone! 
So what time does the mothership come to pick you all up?
Remember that anyone that "claims" to be a chosen one, ISN"T one, so we'll all have lots of company around the brimstone fire pit! |

Interesting anectdote I was told a week or so ago by a guy who's an ordained minister (not a born-again, but a fairly liberal Protestant denomination). Apparently, back in the 1850s, there was one of these doomsday cults in the midwest--Iowa, or Kansas, one of those farm-belt states. They had worked this out to the exact minute, apparently, and they had catapaults built so at the precise moment of the rapture, they could launch themselves into the air, where the angels would catch them.
Apparently, the angels played the rapture the same way that Manny Ramirez used to play a lot of fly balls, because a few of them had a less than rapturous entry into the hereafter, and the rest probably wished they had been killed.

Now that's funny
