#6 We're not sure if it will happen at the same time everywhere, because times are different. But it is supposed to happen simultaneously around the world,"

Tight time slot. When the clock strikes midnight in Hawaii it's almost Sunday on Fiji.

According to the Bible, only 200 million people will be saved" this time, Manny said.

Quite the cruel God. There should be more then 200 million babies and little children in this world. What did they do?

I'd like to get a morning fishing trip in, if possible.

#10 My Rice Krispies told me it'll be at about 11:34:18 AM.

But there is some disagreement between them and the corn flakes on which time zone - Eastern or Central.

#16 Darn , its my birthday then .. However *chuckle* I dont think God is an early riser, should be able to sneak in a cast or two before breakfast and death !

#17 What those prophets haven't disclosed is that immediately after this world ends on the 21st, a new one will spring into existence with the same cast of characters, memories & social arrangements as before. The creator is just rebooting the universe.

#18 And the rock cried out, no hiding place...

You know, my copy of the bible says 144,000, not 200 million...

And it says elsewhere "But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only", so these chowderheads are a bunch of heretics if you ask me.

Not that I'd be a fundamentalist, if I were an actual member of the faithful. The so-called rapture is a metaphor for death, and comes every day, every hour to some soul somewhere. If God saves, he saves retail, not wholesale.

Still and all, if they all go off in a flash tomorrow, I'll cheer for them. Damnation might be worth knowing there's a God in Israel after all.

#19 And the rock cried out, no hiding place.

Babylon Five. Near the end of the episode, a Protestant minister holds an enthusiastic interfaith religious service and invited human and alien alike; as the choir sings "No Hiding Place Down Here", the song coincides with images of Refa's capture and subsequent (beating to) death at the hands of the Narns.

One of my favorite episodes.

#21 As Solomon, the wisest man to have lived, said "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" so I think I'll go out for steak and beer tonight.

#23 I saw a suggestion that we should lay out a set of clothes in the front yard, such that they look like the person wearing them just suddenly disappeared, to freak-out any neighbors who might believe this stuff. Might just try that. ;)

#24 I'll be at the Smokey Mountain Scottish Games in Maryville, Tenn tomorrow. I'll be the one in the Kilt drinking Balvene and oogeling the Babes.

#25 Deacon: I think oogeling is eelegal in Tennessee. Texas is legalizing noodling, however.

And streudeling has been legal back since before I can 'amember.

#26 Deacon Blues, what's the difference between a kilt and a skirt?

Posted by tipper 2011-05-20 19:06|| 2011-05-20 19:06|| Front Page Top

#27 The same as between a robe and a dress.

#28 what's the difference between a kilt and a skirt?

At least a half-pound of facial hair?

I dunno, but having known men who wore kilts and men who were just cross-dressers, you certainly can tell. I rather think the difference between the men who wear kilts and the men who wear skirts is that the latter can tell you the difference between a kilt and a skirt... ^_^

#30 what's the difference between a kilt and a skirt?

Men wear kilts with furry wallet modestly in front and at least the idea of sharp blades tucked into knee sock tops. Women wear kilts with no furry wallet, having no need for that kind of modesty. Women also wear skirts, which can be fashionable or dowdy, but still don't have a furry wallet worn round the waist.

Hope that helps, tipper. :-)

#31 Good replies, however according to one one well attested view ( a Scotsman) if you wear underwear underneath, it's a skirt.

#32 A young lass dying of curiosity asked of a Scott what was worn under his kilt. He promptly hoisted the kilt and she responded "that's gruesome!". Well lassie if you give'em your hand he might grrrrruesome more.
