Rapture fakeout.; Tonight my daughter and her friends are placing clothes and shoes 'round town.

[elehhhhna]

My daughter belongs to a group of teens who are in recovery and have sober Friday Night Girl's Night at various homes weekly. We're hosting. I just suggested that tonight's prank might be fake rapture. They're totally in. I'll report back later -- they won't be here 'til 10ish, after their 12Step meeting.

Rapture joke provokes heart attack

AUSTIN — Herbert Washington, whom co-workers at Significant Plastics Inc. say was unduly concerned with the rapture and the second coming of Christ, suffered a serious heart attack when co-workers pretended they'd been caught away without him.

Last Tuesday, they lay work outfits on their chairs and hid in a supply room, and when Herbert came back from the restroom, he thought the rapture had occurred. The janitor, an outspoken Muslim, pretended to have witnessed everyone disappear and ran around the office feigning panic. Herbert fell to the ground clutching his heart and screaming, "I knew you'd forget me, Jesus! What did I do wrong?" He was taken to a local hospital. The employees emerged, sobered, from the supply room and gathered up their extra clothes.

"We didn't mean to scare him to death," said one woman. "He's just always talking about it, so today we decided to turn the tables on him."

Washington underwent bypass surgery and is recovering well and "digging into the Bible like never before," says his wife.

8. omigod.

The worst I did was buy an extra bag of dog food and a couple extra jars of peanut butter just in case people start panicking if it does/doesn't happen.

[Brickbat]

10. Fake.

[Gabi Hayes]

13. I was thinking that....but, hey.

I'm tired of all the other crap that's sending us a slo-mo rapture

REALLY depressed about the dems in power (at all levels...see my own state of IL reps with the teacher situation) turning right into the right we fight

this quiz is FUN!

[The Doctor.]

14. "I knew you'd forget me, Jesus!"

Yeah... such 'faith' these dipshits have.

I'd bet the farm there'd be millions of these assholes cursing Jesus if they really thought the Rapture happened without them.

This wouldn't surprise me if it really happened.

[tammywammy]

20. a la Six Feet Under

[zinnisking]

21. LMFAO

Never heard of this show. Are they all as funny as this?

[tammywammy]

22. OMG!

It was the best show ever! It was on HBO, every show had a death. My personal favorite was the lady that stood up out the sunroof of a limo and smacked into a cherry picker. There's all kinds of different deaths on the show. But of course, overall the show was just fan-freaking-tastic! All the character were developed so well, and the overall story is just great. You should definitely watch it.

[progressoid]

24. Just make sure you have a box of Kleenex for the last episode..

:cry:

I love Six Feet Under.

[tammywammy]

25. Oh yes!

By far one of the best series endings ever. If I need a good cry I watch the last 10 minutes of the last show. But really, the whole series is just great. I was so caught up in the Fisher Family.

[zinnisking]

27. Oh I will!

I assume they're out on DVD.

I will be thinking of this clip all night at work. Thanks for the laugh!

[tammywammy]

29. Yes, it's all on DVD, the show ended in 2005.

It's really one of the best tv shows I've ever watched.

[progressoid]

26. Yes.

Funny, and poignant, uncomfortable, sweet, sad, hilarious, etc. Well worth watching.

[zinnisking]

31. Perfect.

I enjoy melancholic flicks and I love to laugh.

[BoWanZi]

18. that is awesome! Great idea!

[Martin Eden]

19. I'm unclear about one thing:

Do the rapturists who believe they will be spirited up to heaven think they will all be standing butt nekkid without clothes before The Lord?

[Luminous Animal]

23. I'm doing this, too!

[onager]

28. Don't forget the dentures, crutches and walkers...

:rofl:

Good luck!

Oh, and no baby/toddler clothes, because all little kids are innocent and get sky-hooked up to Jebus immediately upon Rapture. (That writer would have changed his tune if he had known me as a little kid.)

I know all this because I once killed a few remaining brain cells by watching the Left Behind movies. It was worth it for the (unintentional) comedy.

But if you really want a hot movie for Rapture Night, check out Megiddo: Omega Code 3. The producers spent all their money on cracked actors - Michael Biehn, Diane Venora, Michael York, Udo Kier and...uh...R. Lee Ermey as the President of the USA.

They didn't have much $$$ left for special effects. At the big battle of Armageddon, the same tank drives past the camera about 25 times, in different markings for the US, China, Israel, etc. etc. And Satan goes up in a blaze of cheap CGI that looks like it was compiled by a 7-yr-old using Windows Movie Maker.
