FYI

the_more_you_know.jpg

Just thought I’d let you folks know about an important upcoming date so you can make the appropriate arrangements. There’s still a few months left, but if there’s anything any of you need to wrap up before Judgement Day, now’s the time to do it. If you keep putting off “The Wire” or “Friday Night Lights,” you’d probably best hop to it. The good news here is that most of this year’s season finales will have wrapped up. The better news is that “American Idol’s” season finale will not have yet aired. The bad news? Next summer looked like one hell of a great blockbuster season. We’ll at least get to see Thor. Sadly, the last blockbuster movie we’ll be treated to before end times will be Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I hope Johnny Depp gives one hell of a performance.

I wouldn’t worry about flossing anymore, either.

Funny, because I don't turn 30 until 2012, and in August.

Guess I don't need to buy my mom a birthday present next year. Her birthday is 5/22.

Yes, everyone remember to visit http://www.wecanknow.com/ on May 22nd, 2011 to see their explanation.

Who'd a thunk Jesus was a Star Wars fan? Coming back on the anniversary of its release and all. FOX should do a tie in.

And as they say in that sacred text; "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

I hope he brings pizza.

Favorite all-time bumper sticker:

Jesus is coming. Look busy.

Big smiles, like you mean it.

May 21st? Damn. Sorry Jesus. I got...a thing...that day.

The website says that Jesus is going to save the faithful on that date and then he's going to destroy the world exactly 5 months later.

Five month long series finale party, people! Whoooooo! I'll start scoping kegs to loot.

Posted by: Paultera at December 2, 2010 10:17 AM

Ooooo, what's he gonna do, bite me and turn me into a zombie?
Wouldn't be much of a change in my life.
Besides, I'll probably have fallen off the wagon and drank myself to death before then...

Posted by: Rykker at December 2, 2010 10:18 AM

Jesus! Save me from your followers!

(Then like, we can totally party.)

Aside from the fact that it says in the bible that no one can know when the end of the world will be, I think it's totally déclassé that God's using billboards for his Save the Date. Couldn't he have sprung for some hand-addressed card stock invites or something? Maybe an infomercial?

Quick, it's 3am and your suffering from channel surfing induced insomnia and you see Jesus on the screen talking about the end of the world and shilling what?

My guess would be toaster ovens. Nothing cooks like Christ! Mmmm delicious sacrilege. See! We Christians can have a sense of humor? If it wasn't for the laughter how would we get through the awkward ice cream socials? Well, besides the booze.

Posted by: Kayanne at December 2, 2010 10:38 AM

This is retarded. I've been back since '73. I haven't really done much since the rapture (all anyone seems to remember is that Bruce Lee died that year -- fucking dick). Things are pretty good for me these days. I've just been trying to put together the money to open my roller-skating rink "Holy Rollers". It's gonna be epic! We're gonna have Charo at the opening ceremony! AYAYAYAY!

If you want to invest, I've got a paypal button on my website sitdownyourerockingmyassoff.com. Donations of over $50 get a free t-shirt with a picture of me fighting a dinosaur. It's totally rad-ass (big surprise there).

You save money on me too: 5/23. That will be the time to say, "Damn, and THIS is the year I was gonna buy you that yacht ..."

Also, while you're here, Jesus, just for shits and giggles, you should take in a sermon at the Westboro Baptist Church. I'm sure you'll be impressed with its followers' commitment to your principles.

I've lived through so many "end of the world" dates that I feel pretty invincible now.

I'd like to interview all the believers on May 22nd, 2011, just for fun; and then ask them what they're doing on Dec. 21st, 2012.

Posted by: BWeaves at December 2, 2010 11:01 AM

Jesus, Jesus, don't go hatin' on Bruce for dyin' during your come-back tour.
That'll get you strung up to dry in the sun again, right quick.
You best talk to daddy if you got a beef with the timing. It was he who called him home when he did.

Posted by: Rykker at December 2, 2010 11:05 AM

Dude, Bruce Lee was a Buddhist. He's in hell.

Posted by: Jesus at December 2, 2010 11:09 AM

Ha! Y'all are still on the hook for my birthday present - just squeaked in at 5/13. I get to see what 32 looks like before Jeebus saves us.

Billboard on my way from Toronto, ON to Holland, MI:
"I miss hearing you say Merry Christmas"
-Jesus.

Kinda pushy for a guy who isn't arriving until five months after Christmas.

Posted by: Pea at December 2, 2010 11:18 AM

Haha, awesome. The son of God returns on my birthday. Can't think of a better b-day gift than salvation!

Posted by: Pendelton at December 2, 2010 11:21 AM

No joke, seriously I'm not kidding... promise... My birthday is the 21st of May. Does that mean I get presents? Or is JESUS my present? The irony.

Posted by: The Gay at December 2, 2010 11:21 AM

Dammit! I already have my 30th birthday breakdown planned. I'll certainly miss that given it's in August.

Posted by: Melody at December 2, 2010 11:21 AM

JESUS!

Quit playing on the internet and clean your Me-damned room!

Oh, and that billboard? You better believe the money for that is coming out of your allowance.

Posted by: God at December 2, 2010 11:23 AM

Dude, Bruce Lee was a Buddhist. He's in hell.

Called him home, struck him down as a false idol...

You say Toe-MAY-toe...

Posted by: Rykker at December 2, 2010 11:26 AM

Goddamnit. I'd better get all my christforsaken affairs in order. Jesus Fucking Christ, you think you have all the time in the world and BAM! Jewed again! I'm freaking out like the Virgin Mary on her wedding night over here.

Holy Mary Mother of God, I better get to church! I wonder if heaven has room for an athiest faking it to trick the Big Man? Whatever. At least I'll get to experience one of those crucifyingly delicious pot luck dinners those churches always cook up!

In any case, if I must be struck down, please don't make it lightning. I'm scared of that shit.

Posted by: Kballs at December 2, 2010 11:30 AM

So, I've looked all over that site, and even though they keep saying "We CAN know" they never actually say how they know the end of the world is going to be precisely on May, 21, 2011. How am I supposed to belittle their reasoning and logic if they don't supply either? Jerks.

Posted by: RobP at December 2, 2010 11:39 AM

Agreed, Kballs. I'd much rather be hit by a bus, or eaten alive by a school of pirahna.

Posted by: RobP at December 2, 2010 11:40 AM

So... he's coming on a Saturday? Forgive me for mentioning this, but since he was a pretty darned orthodox Jew, I kind of doubt he'd be doing that sort of thing on the sabbath. I know it's bad form to bring this up, but Jesus can't be Christian. God may frown on the sort of hubris that has a guy worshiping himself, even if he is your amazingly talented kid.

And while we're at it, according to the Jewish calendar, the date this guy thinks is 21/5/2011 would actually be 17 lyyar 5771, in which case the party took place before Jesus was even born. Oops.

Posted by: Reba at December 2, 2010 11:40 AM

God, You are hilarious!

Posted by: Chickaboom at December 2, 2010 11:41 AM

I'd much rather be hit by a bus, or eaten alive by a school of pirahna.

I'd like to laugh myself to death. It should be easy because God created us in his image, so he'll probably come back as a naked fatty. You know, to soften the blow of Judgement Day and shit.

Posted by: Kballs at December 2, 2010 11:45 AM

Ah, fuck. That's a week before my birthday. I want my cake, dammit!

Posted by: FabMax at December 2, 2010 12:15 PM

My allowance? You mean the powers you gave me? Oh no, please don't take away my ability to turn one fish into many fish. Anything but that.

Cheap ass.

Posted by: TylerDFC at December 2, 2010 10:21 AM

No, he passes it off as a fundie lunacy. And, unfortunately, that's how he's got a huge number a folks the world over to jump from their churches to his radio station (see: cult).
Me and somewhat more "fundamental" (hate that they took that) Christians may not see eye to eye on some things (or almost anything), but I can at least see where they're coming from and, despite some harm, consider them misled, intentionally or otherwise.

Harold Camping is a liar, a thief, and a hateful persona and I know that this is all in fun but (*)@*#(&@#(*&$(&@$(&*@(#*)%&*)*!&#*$&*# THIS GUY GETS TO ME!

Damn my inability to change the station in my rage.

Posted by: coryo at December 2, 2010 12:23 PM

Oh shut up, you little whiny prick.

"Daaad, I don't like my powers."
"Daaad, I don't want this responsibility."
"Daaad, These thorns are messing up my hair."

I don't hear you bitching when you make your kitchen tap an endless wine supply. Ungrateful little..."

Diet time!

Gotta look good for those Judgement Day pics!

im gonna smock a crack rock, fuck a hooker, kill someone, and lie to everyone about everything

Posted by: SilverMan at December 2, 2010 1:09 PM

Reba-Uh, have you read any of the gospels? Jesus wasn't as uptight about the Sabbath as you think.

Posted by: grizzle at December 2, 2010 1:45 PM

That's 9 days before my birthday. Oh look, I remembered. Unlike last year.

Since I seriously thought about writing that at roughly the same time you did, I have no problem fixing it for you.

Posted by: , at December 2, 2010 2:32 PM

Grizzle - I'm guessing the flunkies..er, apostles sort of over-exaggerated in that regard, to make Jesus look even cooler. Also, I don't recall them mentioning him working on the sabbath, and you can't tell me that Judgment Day won't require a bit of heavy lifting. Then again, if he shows up on Sunday, he'll be deaf from all those football guys shouting his name in thanks for touchdowns, so maybe Saturday would work. You know what would be even better? If he showed up on a Friday during rush hour. The whole Judgment thing could take place over the weekend and those of us not raptured could still get to work on Monday morning (because what is hell but life in a cubicle?).

Posted by: Reba at December 2, 2010 2:41 PM

About fucking time!

Wait, is Jesus okay with the swearing? Shit, I'll never get my language cleaned up by then.

I would really, really, really love it if someone did a little documentary interviewing all the various people and cults who have (inaccurately) prophesized the End of the World or the Coming of the Savior. I want to hear their excuses for fucking up the math.

Posted by: DeadBessie at December 2, 2010 2:48 PM

JC.
May the 21st isn't looking good for me.
Can we try for the 28th instead?
Ta.

Damn. Let me schedule that vacation for April.

Posted by: greer at December 2, 2010 6:19 PM

This is complete bullshit. It's a proven fact that the apocalypse will occur in 2012, so there is no way Jesus can come to Earth to save us in 2011.

Posted by: NF at December 2, 2010 11:51 PM

Fuck them world the world can't end 2 days before I turn 21!
