We\u2019re into single digits \u2013 there are now only\u00a05 full days left \u2019til the end of the world.\u00a0 Today is a Monday, and if we’re lucky it’ll be the last damn Monday we have to face.\u00a0 Mind you, there’s a trade off; end of the world and all.\u00a0 I\u2019m continuing to highlight a different thing each day that I\u2019m NOT GONNA MISS come the Rapture, and I\u2019m counting on YOU to comment if you haven\u2019t yet with your own NGM thoughts as well \u2013 I\u2019m keeping the list, and I\u2019ll tally them up and see what we\u2019re all least likely to miss at the end of all things.<\/p>\n
Number 10:\u00a0 Donald Trump\u2019s Hair<\/a>. From Mother Shipton and Nostradamus to Al Gore and Harold Camping, they’ve let us down so many times.\u00a0 The world will end on Y2K.\u00a0 The world will end today, or tomorrow, or the next week, or Real Soon Now.\u00a0 Hurry hurry, the end is at hand, and we’re all about to buy it.\u00a0 They spin us up, get us ready, and then – whoosh, the date for The End\u00a0goes by\u00a0like a thousand other deadlines before it.\u00a0 So, just because I’m sure everyone needs a small ray of hope to cling to, here’s the Official Big Ugly Prediction you’ve been waiting for:<\/p>\n There, was that so hard?\u00a0 You’ve never heard a more accurate prediction than that, and you probably never will.\u00a0 I’m tired of these Chicken Little clowns getting people all spun up, getting everyone ready for the end, and getting it wrong.\u00a0 It didn’t end when they turned on the Large Hadron Collider, it didn’t end when all our clocks turned 00-00-00-00-00 etc., and it didn’t end when Michael Jackson died.\u00a0 The world seems pretty resilient.\u00a0 If this one is really the big one, so be it.\u00a0 If not, I’m going have to add Mr. Harold to the list of people I’m Not Gonna Miss next time.<\/p>\n And it’s probably not going to be, either.\u00a0 In discussing the upcoming Rapture with Number One Son, he expressed his disdain for the current prediction.\u00a0 I asked him why, and he explained:\u00a0 “Daddy, the 21st is a Saturday.\u00a0 Douglas Adams made it very <\/strong>clear that the Earth will be destroyed on a Thursday.”\u00a0<\/p>\n His point\u00a0is as valid as any I’ve heard.<\/p>\n So please Lord, because I’m Not Gonna Miss all the weenies trying to outguess You – call the Rapture on May 21st.\u00a0 Even if it is<\/strong> a Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Countdown to the Rapture: In discussing the upcoming Rapture with Number One Son, he expressed his disdain for the current prediction.
