What outfit/garb/costume will you wear this weekend?
I mean.... it's the end of the world this Saturday so a lot of thought should go into this.
I'm going to wear my Clan Gunn kilt and at precisely 6pm ... I will remove it and walk proudly down the lane as the Earth is destroyed.
But...just in case this guy is wrong.... I'll keep it in my hand so I can wrap it back around me when Tarrant County's finest deputy's take me into custody.
Someone please bail me out.... I didn't quit my job(s) so I'll be able to repay you.
If Tarrant County's finest come for you...you are not at Scarborough. :-*
I'm planning on wearing red and gold. I have no idea what his lordship is wearing.
I haven't seen anything on what time the world is supposed to end. Anyone know if I'll have time to get to Scarborough? ;)
I believe Friday is the last day - so if you make it to faire all is good :)

I heard 6pm the 21st is when it's happening, so plenty of time to get in one great last day of faire!

This ^
And Donna... I want Tarrant County to get me so they will drive me back home. I can't imagine spending the night in jail in Waxahachie.... KILTED!
You should be okay as long as you don't pick up the soap, son...
if what i'm understanding is corret you may or may not want to take off your kilt thats up to you.
if it happens then you might be able to walk around without your kilt without too much trouble
if it doesn't i wouldn't take it off if i were you
May 21 6pm pacific time (I guess its pacific since the guy making the prediction lives in CA home of the biggest nuts) which would make it 4pm here which means when Bear calls end of Scottish Court he will also be calling the end of the world. Oh and its not the left behind kind the entire physical world is going bye bye in a massive earthquake solar flare or at least that is what the beleivers are saying
Well, that's our anniversary, and I can promise you that if I don't take Nim out to dinner, it will signal the end of the world, at least for one of us.

Like!! :D
Wait! The world can't end on that date. I have tickets for Sterling! They are in our fireproof lock box under the bed, guarded by the cat so no one will steel them. Can we put off the end of the world until after July?

Aw man, and by the end of the holidays comes Sherwood and Scarby again.... Can't we just reschedule all this until we're all dead of old age? I know I'll definitely be free then...
Actually 6 PM Pacific is 8 PM Central. So we'll have time to have an evening Tailgate on Saturday!
I just sent the check for a 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal at Scarby for 5/26/2012, wheee! If the world ends, I won't miss the money. If it doesn't, prepare for a party next year! :)

Yeah...we've go RenDezvous to go to, and the big anniversary party at Scarby next April... Yes, we definitely must postpone. Whoever scheduled an apocalypse during the 2011-2012 period just
wasn't paying attention to the calendar!
yep, sure wasn't looking at the calendar lol! rendezvous, trf, holidays, sherwood, scarby... it's hard to get good soothsayers of doom these days...
Hey I have a trip to Hawaii booked, we gotta wait. But just in case I am bringing stuffed jalapeno's for the party. LMAO
Merlin, if Ellis County's finest show up, you may want to put yer kilt back on.

Bahahahaha... and I've had your stuffed japs...AWESOME !
Angus, if that boy of mine gets arrested, tell the PD not to call me....
From what I understand (and, no, I didn't try too hard to do that), Saturday at 6pm *wherever you are at the time is when the great earthquake is suppose catch up with you and signal the rapture and be the start (just the start) of the coming end. The actual end, final, kaput of the world and time is supposed to (finally) come sometime in October.
The closer we all (and, yes, it's ALL of us ... where in this together ... whether you believe or not!!!) have gotten to this Saturday, the more accurate the prediction (errr ... 'biblical calculation') has become. The massive and most destructive earthquake ever to have been unleashed upon the Earth will start at the International Dateline at 6 pm local (to the Dateline) time. So, New Zealand should feel the first effects and those believers will experience rapture. Then, the earthquake to end all earthquakes will progress (orderly enough) across the globe sychronized with the Earths' rotation. That means that the East Coast of the U.S. will be hit at its' 6 pm local time. Central time zone will happen at its' 6 pm local time and so on. What happens in parts of Indiana and other places around the globe that don't observe the timezone changes isn't clear. I suspect that the Great Earthquake won't make an exception for them and just go with whatever it feels.
So, really, we'll start to get reports in from New Zealand, Japan (as if they need any more problems), etc. sometime tomorrow, Friday. And, if things all go to the master plan, we'll have almost a whole day to pick out our clothes here in the USA.
Yeah, so ok, I did pay too much attention to the news story about it. <grin>
Does it make any difference if your watch is broken?
Great Earthquake will find you, Merlin. Count on it.
It's either Rapture or a drunken thrillride of a party until October. No other way out. You get to pick.
Where's the party in October? :D You bad...
Soooo...can Steam Punkers use their 'time machine' to back up and the Earth would still be here?

Of course! The Doctor will come and save the Earth ;)
Now ya'll have me thoroughly confused.
A. The big earthquake will cause the world to break in pieces on May 21 (6PM Pacific or possibly 6PM Eastern)
B. The final end of the world doesn't happen until October.
C. The world ends on December 21, 2012.
Are those my choices?
I'm planning on hanging around and gathering up everybody's stuff that they leave behind.
Merlin I get the Rum, being all heathen and such. LMAO
It's a deal, Angus, as long as you keep out of my Jack Daniels ;D

LOL Xantrawler, plus don't forget the renewal of your vows this year at sterling so the world can't end yet !
Plus you owe me and Irish a hug and a drink. :)
Hmm..you said your tickets are in your fireproof safe huh.....
( me knows what area Xantrawler lives in .. back cat..back...here kitty,kitty ..finds safe
OOO..look what I found 2 tickets to faire ! ;D ;D )
Yes, i agree now is not a good time for the world to end. Call me in about ummmm... a hundred years from now ! ;D

LOL, love your thinking. :)
I remember reading about a couple of companies that help distribute (ha!) your belongings to your...umm... un-raptured family members....and even ones that will take care of your pets. These are indeed interesting times that we live in..... :)
Anyone tries to rapture my fat tush will have to get by Abbe, my Akita. My Malamute will probably go willingly. He's way too friendly.
Just leave the rum, Merlin the Elder the Omega Mage. LMAO

And the garb. ;) In fact, I think all ye who shall be raptured tomorrow should immediately send all relevant banking information and garb via overnight Fed-Ex to me. I'll...uh... see that it is properly...distributed. ;D

Angus...you're such a card! ;D
Heaven doesn't want me...
And Hades is afraid I will take over...
I figure I am pretty safe. ;D
*Makes note to add a santa sack to his road gear in case of fallen Ren goodies to scavenge*
All I ask is that, in the event we're raptured, someone come to mine & Al-Nimers house & make sure our garb & weapons have good homes. I don't want some stupid looter who can't even spell Claymore to get our stuff. :D
Seriously though, I can't wait to hear the spin tomorrow when nothing happens.
Since you never know when Z-day will come, better get out the katana (and other sharp weapons), load the rifle and position each of them in strategic places about the house...at least until we leave for Faire Sunday ;)
It's actually almost 7:30pm on Christmas Island and no reports of anyone being raptured from there. Maybe they are all bad people. The USGS is also not reporting the start of any earthquake yet. Small one of the coast of the Solomon Islands and a smaller one in Hawaii.
I just figure at least a few of those tree hugger types will be taken, right? So that means I can finally get my hands on one of those sweet Hybrids I've been coveting! ;)
Bye! Im off see you in the after life..... oh wait Im still here.? shine, I thought I was one of the chosen few! After all I am and Ordained Minister .
Anyone needing to get married? Ill do it for FREE
Lady Amy, just one word of cation. the cat's name is Rohan and she picked it. Plus one of those tickets she bought for her mommy and daddy. lol. Of course I will give you hugs, and Captain Amy will get her rum...Unless Oz gets it all first.
Now the Harold says the end of the world is October 21st. That is really going to mess up Texas Renaissance Festival's season. Maybe they should think about an Apocalypse themed weekend that weekend.
Sooooo...anyways... I took off the kilt and ran through the faire at 6pm... and ummm... Ya know... jail food is pretty good actually.
Well, from what the cops told me, there was too little evidence to charge you with anything serious....
So my spell worked perfectly...... awesome !
** cough! ** that's not really what I was saying, boy! "too little evidence..." ... from your mother's side of the family, I should say...
SORRY for the double post... Nim and I were about to crash for the night when it struck me: The Rapture Took Place on Schedule!! Yes, my dear friends, the Rapture occurred on May 21, at 6 pm, just as had been predicted. God took all the worthy faithful into Heaven. We didn't notice because, well frankly, God didn't find anyone worthy, consequently everyone is still here. Reality indeed sucks.
It's kinda like the government...just can't count on anything...Ya'll have a nice day, ya'heah?
