Did I miss the rapture?

[underpants]

I could have sworn that it was supposed to be today :think:

Anyone? or am I the only one still here :cry:

[mikita]

1. waiting too...

tap tap tap....

[underpants]

18. I hope I make that cool pneumatic tube noise

that would be so cool

[Wheezy]

2. *echo echo echo*

I thought sure at least one person in our house would go. *sniffle*

[Liberal Veteran]

3. My cats weren't raptured, so I had to stay behind.

I couldn't very well allow my cats to face the tribulation on their own.

[badgerpup]

19. What a lovely furry crew you have!

:loveya:

[notadmblnd]

4. c'mon god..... got places to go.. people to do....

[Crankie Avalon]

5. Can you hear me down there, underpants?

Or are you by now too busy burnin' in the Lake o' Fire? O8)

[underpants]

14. Hello?... Is.... Is that you Superman?

[sendero]

6. Looking at the situation we find ourselves in..

... I think god decided to skip the costly Rapture phase and go straight to tribulations.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

7. Raining frogs like crazy here...

[underpants]

24. Okay I'm confused

Should I take my umbrella to keep the frogs off of me or will the umbrella block out God's rapture rays?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

27. I went out to the garage and found my old...

...Dallas Cowboys football helmet I had as a kid---It's a bit snug on my melon head, but the frogs glance off it nicely. Go Cowboys!!!

[leeroysphitz]

8. I heard the blaring of horns and some gnashing of teeth earlier

but I was just stuck in traffic...

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. No, you've got your apocalypsies confused.

The rapture was a couple weeks ago.

Today, iran is supposed to start WWIII.

[mcscajun]

11. Exactly. Anyhow, that's what Bernard Lewis was speculating on...

What is the significance of Aug. 22? This year, Aug. 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to "the farthest mosque," usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1). This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind.

12. Oh

Who knew?

[Iwasthere]

44. Thats right

The rapture was supposed to be a while ago. After today they will say in two months or something...

[TwoHandedLayup]

10. No rapture here

Maybe someone should make a tasteless slide show about finding WMDs.....err the Rapture, and show it at a press dinner.

[charlie]

13. Yes

He came May 16, 2006 and the rapto-fundies were too busy watching for the Other Guy to notice.

[tavalon]

26. All hail the great FSM

May we each be touched by his noodly appendage!

[Iwasthere]

31. WHAT IS THAT PICTURE???

Chemtrails gone mad?

[SCantiGOP]

36. re: the picture

The first place I stop every morning when I log on is NASA's picture of the day. Go to the archives and find some amazing stuff.

[Iwasthere]

39. thx will take a look

I love that science stuff. In fact I think I will start watching only the NASA and discovery channels from now on.

[charlie]

38. Photographic proof

of divine intervention, what else?

Alright, if you want to listen to a bunch of tight-assed skeptics, they've got some cockamamie story about it being flares swirled in the wake of the cargo jet. But that's foolishness.

[Iwasthere]

45. I thought so

Bet it is bateria or some kind of evil creation spilling down over a big city to get peoples minds .... well you know

[snappyturtle]

15. The day isn't over yet!

I think most of us are still here....still hoping! :sarcasm:

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Did Joe LIEberman depart with the rest of the GOPers?

21. “I don’t think anybody anticipated the rapture of the levees.”

[ellie]

17. Whatever happened

with that DUer (I can't remember his name), whose co-worker who was going to quit his job because of the last rapture date? Did the co-worker quit? Did he offer any explanation as to why the rapture didn't happen that day? Does anyone call these people on their bullshit? It seems the rapture business attracts a lot of the mentally ill.

[bluerum]

20. i am just amazed that heaven looks so much like where I was!

[Liberal Veteran]

28. Damn! I was hoping the rapture would get that stain out of my carpet.

Bummer.

[xchrom]

22. i'm posting to you from heaven right now!

sylvester is here -- and my fav gay porn stars!

it's VERY gay here.
oh and rudolf nureyev just pirouetted by --

fabulous!

[Warpy]

23. I turned the idiot box on this morning

and everything seemed to be running smoothly, no key people absent.

Maybe I should prepare to delouse and tune into Pox News or CBN to see if they're missing any folks.

Ha.

25. MSNBC:Russian plane with 170 disappears from radar

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2468760

[notadmblnd]

32. Nobody told us he was going to use planes.....

it all makes so much sense now. That's why the terrorists use only planes to commit their acts... They kew god was taking the rapture people on planes.. It must be their of trying to keep the wackos out of heaven.

[davekriss]

29. Ya just don't get it, do you?

The rapture already happened and we are the left behind. What else could explain Bushboi's rise to power despite the a track record even a failed horse show exec could better?

[lectrobyte]

30. I think it's on netflix, but if you missed it, you should catch it.

34. The televangelists need time to make one more plea for donations.

"And since you won't be needing that money any more, just send it ALL in to me right here at the teevee station."

[Turbineguy]

35. Some of my money raptured

portfolio down today.

[Drum]

37. ...

<crickets> :eyes:

[bikebloke]

40. I was about to be raptured.

Then I thought of the type of folk who get raptured. Who wants to spend an eternity with them? So I said, Fuck off, lord. Fuck off! And I was left behind. Whew, that was close.

[C_U_L8R]

41. Dude... it's over

Welcome to the second renaissance...
where freeps and fundies are history
and peace prospers around the world

[EST]

42. Uhhh...it occured at precisely 5:05 A.M. CDST

It looked like a giant orgasm in the sky.
Nobody got sucked up, at least none that I knew.
Second shift was cancelled.

[alfredo]

43. Yes, I got myself a new Mini Cooper. The guy went right

through the open sunroof. I'm looking for a Prius for my wife, but I got a feeling a rapture ready person would not be that forward thinking.

[skypilot]

46. Well, I haven't seen my slacker supervisor all morning...

...but that's not unusual.

[walldude]

47. I think it happened already, God looked down

and said "fuck a bunch of that shit, if they want to get into my house they should clean up their own first..."

[Rosco T.]

48. Get these for your Rapture-Ready friends...

49. I guess I went to Hell, cause here I am at work again. n/t

[Straight Shooter]

50. No Rapture here in Eastern Oregon.

No eerie feeling in the atmosphere, nothing different. I didn't even realize today was "the day."

Say, do you suppose that's why bush told the truth about no Iraq/9-11 connection yesterday? Maybe he was convinced he wouldn't be here past today to deal with the consequences. :)
