If the World does end on Saturday

Buy instead of rent

i think they are reading the wrong book. according to what i am reading, and believe me if it it written in this book it must be the truth, the world is not supposed to end until monday. so we still have the weekend.

amazing what people spend their time and money on.

Juiceman and ekartash : LOL!!! I knew this would be fun.

>the world is not supposed to end until monday

Oh darn it, that means the line at shake shack is going to be extra Extra long this sunday.

Truth, are you in the boroughs too?

Creedmore is in Queens.

Luke's lobster roll followed by a nice stroll in Riverside Park.

Do Luke's lobster rolls have much lobster in them, or are they mostly mayonnaise, as with too many lobster rolls?

streeteasy will go on!

Ok, I'll bite.

The world is ending. The world where every economic effort was based on endless growth (and endless consumption) is coming to end out of necessity, because we are running out of natural resources to exploit.

The oceans are full of filth and most of the fish are gone. The skies are full of CO2 and other pollutants which is causing the weather to go bonkers.

The forests are mostly cut down or burned down by big agri-biz.

All North American songbirds are endangered -- many are near extinction. Whales, dolphins, polar bears, wolves, big cats of all varieties, elephants in the wild -- they are all nearly gone.

Most of the world's insects are gone, killed off by agribusiness's massive of pesticides. The lack of insects -- including bees -- means there are hardly any crop pollinators left, and far less food for small mammals and winged creatures.

This world -- the world in which nature is exploited as if it could go on forever -- is going to end very soon.

But it will, hopefully, be replaced by a world in which humans have come to their senses, and begun to create systems for responsible stewardship of natural resources.

This new world is the one I am looking foward to.

Geez, Graffiti, I was just going to say that I was going to Whole Foods to get some of their chocolate angel food cake, but now . . .

Ketel One martini...shaken not stirred. And another and another...lol

GraffitiGrammarian,

Nicely put!

What if the world ends before the financial crisis is cured? LMAO, we would all have been incorrect!

We've seen those billboards being towed all over Manhattan (are they in the boros,too?)

What's the last thing you would do in N.Y.C. before the end

Well what ever you do put it on the credit card and not the debit card....

It can't end - I have about $25k in receivables that I want to get paid for before The End.

I'll kill myself on Friday nite if it means I don't have to see another idjiot drinking ketal one.... Give me a colt 45.

So far, all great comments (except for alanhart who will continue to make a fool of himself down to the last second 11:59pm on Saturday, so just ignore him).

well, then. truth approves (except for AH). don't you all feel a warm glow of acceptance?

mutombo, some correct, some not correct, some dead wrong, so to speak.

w67th, next you'll be touting boone's farm. i worry about you, indeed i do.

Will be opening up a mag of 1996 Krug Clos de Mensil...

AR,

You are correct!

LMAO @ boone's farm.

Mesnil...

Who cares about aboutready and her drunken comments? She's a piece of garbage alkie, frustrated housewife. Not being "approved" by that pig is the best thing that could happen to anyone, anywhere.

Mutombonyc: That pig would drink cough syrup, if she ran out of booze.

Alan--they're extremely lobster-rich. Absolutely perfect balance between lobster meat and a perfectly-toasted hot dog bun. You can get 'em with or without mayo.

bramstar, sounds great!

Truth, repent, serpent.

Get bent, ah. You are dried-up. Can't get any action. Even from a serpent.

Rent stabilizer.

Do you approve of your girl friends behavior?

I hear that cc is on here, writing about "Rent stabilizer".
Who is he talking about?

Your bf, stupid.

Who did you hear this from?

cc can't keep track of the comments he just posted.

Meds?

>i worry about you, indeed i do.

A real person writes or speaks like this?

huntersburg: She's a pig, not a person.

Pig as in "oink oink "?

Truth, I will have you refer to New York's Finest in that vulgar barnyard language of yours. And who told you AR is a police officer anyway?

Yes, huntersburg.
If it looks like a pig, and sounds like a pig, and stinks like sh*t -- it's a pig.

*not" have

be respectful

I'm respectful of people who deserve respect by respecting others. That's not you, ah.

Whatever happened to that woman who was making fun of her daughter for learning a new language and trying to get ahead despite obviously being in an abusive familiy?

Who's that, huntersburg?

Not sure I remember the name. I do think she was about ready to make fun of her daughter again though.

Not surprised. Feel sorry for any kid with an alkie pig mother.

How are your kids truth?

How is the window in your shower columbiacounty?

ahhhh - nothing like vitriolic crap for our penultimate day on earth.

I personally have got it all planned - boozy brunch at The Park in my underpants, big tip for the waiter - stroll down the west side by the river - email all the douchebags in my life - then relax and let it happen......

stroll down the west side by the river ... then relax and let it happen......

Make sure you bring Vaseline.

got to try it i spose - although i think the only tranny ho's left are on exclusive contracts with the NYC Preservation Society...

i thought the world was ending in 2012. it got moved up to this saturday? i was not on that email.

well if thats the case, it will make for an awkward monday morning

The world ending with a BANG!

If the world is ending, will aboutready still be able to go on her four week vacation: (three countries, two villas, mediterranean beach, three major cities).

wow...trooshy dooshy a little on the acidic side in here...still stinky

Wbottom's bottom is stinky?

IF THE WORLD DOES END ON SATURDAY....i'll finally get the sleep i deserve. Judgment Day, take me away.

Alan owes me a dinner date.

ehh, I thought it ended last Thursday

Truth -- I would think you would spend your last day with Keith, seeing as how you're such close buds.

if the world ends, maybe prices will finally come down and I can buy my alcove studio.

No, julia, it's the world that's ending, not Manhattan.

Manhattan is different.

If the world does end, I vote that Long Island City go first.

short the market big time

I'm a good person, but I'm Jewish so I don't think I get to go. But if I do go, does my dog get to come along, because I'd be wrecked if he were left behind and I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the Rapture. Do any of you know for sure you are getting left behind? If so, can you feed my dog if I go and he stays? Is there a website with FAQs about this end of the world? How are you supposed to plan properly?

kw, very good points. it might be a wee bit more useful if there was a guidebook, no? i'm fairly certain there have been some pamphlets, and i guess in some areas some billboards, but those seem woefully short of real instruction.

correct, woefully short

the preditor of doom was interviewed on npr yesterday. when asked at what time the world would end, he said 6pm. when asked how things would play out between time zones, he indicated that the end would occur at 6pm as defined by each time zone. I have booked a fast jet for tomorrow noon and i'm headed west. we'll see what happens. i hope to outrun doom.

Yeah, nice try ... they never had much life out west anyway. And if you make it all the way to Cali, keep in mind that it's cold and it's damp.

KW: "but I'm Jewish" no

Unfortunately for Samoa, they've recently voted to move to the other side (ahead) of the date line.

I thought Samoa's were girl scout cookies rebranded Coconut Delights!

ANSWER for pets:

Why is AlanFart, always in the midst, of drama?

KW: Great post about the pets. As per your post, all of us EST types have till Sat noon to get our paypal payments in. But you missed the ad that is so relevant for those who mock and scoff. Up your dromedary hump you vile non-believers. http://theatheistcamelchronicles.blogspot.com/

>all of us EST types have till Sat noon

Except we are in Eastern Daylight Time. That type of sloppiness can cost you dearly, like going in the wrong door: http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/25684-w-67s-prediction-come-to-pass-thru-the-backdoor

Saturday,10:10 am and all is well.

I saw that interview too and we have until 6pm.
Meanwhile it's a beautiful sunny deep blue sky day.
Unless it's going on at noon. Good thing we got an early start today, huntersburg.

Thanks to all who contribute to this thread. Funny comments.
Except for the gang-members.

Is it 6 pm eastern time? It will be an earthquake, so I must ready my seatbelts.

Shouldn't we check in with Australia or something? Didn't they already have 6pm?

Or are they gone already?

Remember there are something like 300 earthquakes every day on this planet, most are undetectable by humans. But I'll lay money that it's "proof" for somebody.

Sodom and/or Gonorrhea are going first, I understand.

I say "Good Riddance" to Gonorrhea.

crap - I have a dinner date at 6.

On my way to Luke's. Just in case, ya know. Want to make sure I get a final lobster roll + Maine micro brew.

If there's one silver lining to the end of the world, it's that in 12 minutes
the stock market wont be affected any longer by Eurozone financial problems,
and that Bernanke can finally have a week-end off without work.

Bernanke "works"?

Venlafaxine extended-release (long-acting) capsules are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; excessive worrying that is difficult to control), social anxiety disorder (extreme fear of interacting with others or performing in front of others that interferes with normal life), and panic disorder (sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry about these attacks).

Works well for plain old out-the-window depression, too.

OF COURSE Bernake works! He's busy mimeographing money.

So is this end of the world thing supposed to happen on eastern or pacific time? I wanna know if I should bother DVRing River Monsters...

bramstar: Luke's is the best!
River Monsters is good too.
Bring a l.r. home and enjoy both..just in case it's going on at 6pm, you still have 1/2 an hour. It's 5:30pm, N.Y.C. time.

A volcano is erupting in Iceland, the end has started.

needsadvice: Ever see the movie "On The Beach", or read the book?.
Australia was supposed to be the last place to take the hit.

Oh, well; HIT THE NEAREST BEACH: Have a roll in the surf-break!

Truth--I've already had my Luke's lobster roll for the day--it was inspired, as always... Now on to cocktails! Chocolate martini, anyone?

And yes, "On The Beach" is a scary and depressing book.

Chocolate marty?! Where? Let's go!!!

it is safe to buy green bananas again

Stop spreading false rumors: it is NEVER safe to buy green bananas.

(@STEVE LOL!)

Apparently it doesn't matter if the guy was right or not, per this:

"As Saturday drew nearer, followers reported that donations grew, allowing Family Radio to spend millions on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the doomsday message. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities."

He's a freakin' genius.

I say the world will end 11/11/11.

Send me money.

Do it NOW, you won't be needing it anyway . . .

>>Chocolate marty?! Where? Let's go!!!<<

Still here, raptureless, and heading out for dinner and a couple o' choco marties at that bastion of martinidom, Shun Lee.

Enjoy, bramstar.
