OK. What are you going to be doing 21-DEC-12? Oooh...look at how ominous those 1's and 2's look when put in the date like that. Maybe that's telling us December 11, 2112 is the real end, eh?
All right guys, MB said something on his podcast about maybe having the chat board going. The "end of the world" is a Friday night, I'm game for that. Chips, salsa, a little egg nog (eewwww, what a mix) maybe some pumpkin pie, a Milky Way bar, whatever until our internet connection dies along with the world as we know it.

Dang Marshal, I posted this in the wrong thread. Would you be kind enough to move it where it belongs? Maybe under podcasts or the cafe?
-
I could not vote.
"Bring it on was", not an option , neither was,"It can't come soon enough".
-
With technological achievement from Latin countries being few and far between, I suspect the Mayans would be hard pressed to predict the next morning without hacking the heads off of a few of their neighbors! I seriously doubt they could predict the end of all things!
I'm planning on nothing at all besides the winter solstice and a cold beer on a Friday night!
-
Getting laid.
-
An interesting side note is that Dec. 20th or 21st, it varies, is the day of the year that women talk the least.
-
Going fishing and keeping a snook. Like old Far Side cartoon of the fisherman and the mushroom cloud. "No size restrictions and screw the limit"! ;D

Dare I ask? Why the silence then?
-
It's also Winter Solstice.........
Heck of a thing if "scientists" finally figure out after all these years that instead of a doomsday warning, it was just the last page of their version of the Farmer's Almanac.
;) :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oh, run for the hills....... run for the hills, I say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I don't know any Mayans, so it will just be business as usual around our house.
Ooooops, the 22nd is anniversary, and company (in-laws) invading on the 22nd, so I guess it will be "take the wife out night."

Yes, based on our own calendar the world ends Dec 31,
every year.
But one can hope.

Never underestimate .
I could not find a photo of the actual stone carving , admittedly I didn't spend long looking , but this has been recognized since at least the 60's.

You're saying I might actually have to make payments after the 21st??
Oh sh!t.

Every calander has an end date. I'm not worried about it.

My homeowners employs about 50 of them to do the landscaping. If they stop showing up to work, then I'll get nervous. ;D

Now that's scary.

I think the guy who carved the calender got to the end and said." Damn I should have picked a bigger stone"

Or, screw it, its Friday, I'm off for the weekend. However, I have noted that Southern Mexico and Guatemala are making a killing off this hosting hippy New Age tours. Good for them. ;D

I found some cartoons about it.

I told you so!!

I don’t believe in the Mayan calendar thing. However I do think it is possible for God to reset things, we have traveled so far off the path that I do think it is possible for it all to be scrapped and start over again.
If that would be the decision, I would tend to agree with him. The only way to prep for either event is to get on your knees.
-
If it were just the Mayan calendar the reaction would be a universal "They ran out of rock, duh.".
However, that is not the case, the date coincides with calculations based on the Pyramid dimensions which have matched other notable dates in history, as well as estimates based on the writings of Michel de Nostredame .
There have been other confirmations as well from more obscure sources such as the cryptologist who has been working on the "Bible code".
Oddly enough, he claims that the coded messages he finds are the same regardless of the language used.
-
So I should buy the AK AND a new upper, rather than investing in a case or two ammo? ;)
-
Get both.
Do it on the "No payment till January" plan. ;D
Gotterdammerung !
-
I'll likely either be asleep or in the bathroom..
-
Either having, recovering from an operation, :(
yayy for me

I'll get up and watch Fox Business while I drink my coffee just like most Friday mornings.

I do happen to know a Mayan. The wife and I just got back from Belize last week and the bartender at our hotel is Mayan. I was talking to him about it and he said exactly what PegLeg said.
-
With a 2,000 year edition they probably thought they would have time to hammer out a Volume II.
But, as I posted earlier, one can always hope.
I can see the future,and personally I don't want to be there.

The twelvers, like Ahmadinejad of Iran, believe 2012 is the year for total chaos on Earth (the Earth to them is not the sphere as we know it) prompting the reurn of the Mahdi who will punish all of us infidels to no end. Sorta coincides with the Mayan calendar? Of course, if they are wrong, then they can still be twelvers and just start thinking of 3012 instead. Now, if the Mayans are correct, think of the good side: Obama won't be re-inaugurated in January...unless HE is the Mahdi!

That's only if the "Revelations" version comes to pass with the 1,000 years of getting what they deserve.
I prefer the idea of the Wagnerian vision of one big spasm of blood , thunder, and destruction.
It's actually likely if Israel nukes Iran.

Why would I pay any attention to a culture that failed to predict its own demise?

Who says they failed ?
They may have just decided it wasn't important enough for the calender.
For that matter, there are an awful lot of Mayans still around.
That means the culture didn't die, it adapted to changed circumstances.

12/20/2012 | N0D Doomsday The End of the World!
Dec 20-Dec 22, 0000Z-2359Z, N0D, Houston, TX. Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club. 28.400 21.400 14.200 7.150. QSL. KK5W, PO Box 2997, Sugar Land, TX 77487-29. The end is finally near. To celebrate this literally once in a lifetime event, Special Event Station N0D (Now Zero Days) will be activated on 10-80 meters and on several satellite passes for three days during and after(?) the end of the world. December 20; is a celebration of the end of the world. December 21, the day of destruction, we will be on the air as long as possible. December 22nd, that is a little iffy right now. Amateur radio stations around the crumbling globe are invited to contact N0D, who will be operating from a secret, undisclosed location. Our operating schedule may be a little erratic as destruction rains down upon us and as long as our antennas hold out. Those who may be looking skyward for the end of the world, N0D will be operating on several satellite passes. This will provide cosmic, maybe even intergalactic coverage for the end of the world as we know it. You can celebrate Doomsday by contacting N0D directly on the air. Amateurs can also become an official Doomsday station by registering on our website. You will be given a registration number and the authority to identify yourself as “Official Doomsday Station” followed by your Doomsday number. QSL with SASE to KK5W. If Doomsday actually does happen, we regret that a QSL will not be possible so hold on to your SASE until the 22nd at least. Check out our website for a preview of the N0D QSL card. Official Doomsday stations will receive the Doomsday Station Certificate. It is not entirely clear exactly how it will happen. Will it be a cataclysmic shift in the earth’s magnetic field, Global Warming on steroids, earthquakes, volcanoes floods, global thermonuclear war, meteor collision, the 10 plagues of Egypt UFO invasion who knows ? There are scientists, soothsayers and philosophers on both sides of the question. Either way it will be an event worth remembering...or maybe there will be no one left to remember it?

Hemorrhoids, He gets a new World and a new arse hole on the same day .

Awww, man...Sledge. Dang...I hate to hear that.
I know you've heard all of the crude jokes and horror stories.
Forget the jokes, they are harmless....it's the stories that should bother you.
You might want write a note on your tool or a tie ribbon with a note on your jewels just to make sure you have them after the operation....you know that's happened before....I'm just sayin'.....

OK...the specious Mayan end of days is nearly upon us. Surely you guys have firmed up your plans for the big day by now, right?
I'll be home packing for a trip the next day.
And after that I'll be looking forward to New Year price drops in storage foods and other prepper supplies that will lose part of their market after the Mayan end of days passes.

You can't say that until AFTER the 21st.
I figured I better get that said now.
If you're wrong we won't have the opportunity to take you to task for it after the fact. ;D

As you know it was designed to tweak! Not everyone will pick up on the word "specious".
I also hope to be using my callsign with my N0D (Now Zero Days) Doomsday Radio Station # 0856 over the ham airwaves.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt
No strength the ladder starts to clatter with the fear, fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games with a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of West and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low playing! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Dummy with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light,
Feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour.
Don't get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive.
Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
This means no fear - cavalier.
Renegade, steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
And I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide.
Mountains sit in a line
Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev, Lester Bangs and Lenny Bruce.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right?
Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine... fine...
(It's time I had some time alone,
It's time I had some time alone,
It's time I had some time alone
I feel fine...)

Ok....I have a plan for this.
I plan to drink a 5th of Rum this evening. Just think, if it is true, NO HANGOVER!!

Any body who put serious thought into it knew it was just a case of "They ran out of rock".
It fell exactly on a solstice .
Not having access to atomic clocks and such "primitive" societies went by lunar cycles, 13 months of 28 days with no leap anything.
Dec 21st is the last solstice of the year. It is unlikely that world apocalypse would fall on that particular day, just like it is unlikely to occur on Dec 31st.
But it was fun while it lasted and some of the idiots actually took it serious. ;D
-
We got a little snow for the solstice but not enough to shovel. We should get some more on Christmas.

The Mayan end-of-the-world has come true. We can't find a Mayan anywhere!

‘End Of The World’ Party In San Bernardino Turns Deadly
December 22, 2012 1:13 PM
SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA.com) — Authorities Saturday continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding a fight at an “End of the World” party in San Bernardino that turned deadly.
A statement by the San Bernardino Police Department says as many as 100 people had attended the party at a home on 7th Street on Friday evening.
At some point during the party, a 29-year-old man was stabbed and police were called to the scene to investigate.
Upon arriving on scene, authorities say a shooting occurred nearby.
The shooting victim, identified as 20-year-old Felipe Jason Moreno, suffered fatal injuries. His 22-year-old cousin was also wounded in the shooting, authorities said.
“The reason for the shooting appears to have stemmed from a fight that had occurred at the party location,” the statement said.
The man, who was stabbed, is expected to survive.
Anyone with more information about the incident is asked to contact Detective John Munoz at (909) 384-5630 or Sergeant Gary Robertson at (909) 841-5361
