From what I understand, enlightened people more knowledgable than me say the world will end Dec. 2012. It was nice meeting you, Grumpy. If we meet in hell, I'll buy the first beer. Assuming we can do that in hell.

I love movies about the total destruction of the world.  It makes my own life seem so much better by comparison. 

I'm a fellow skeptic.   If something can't been seen, felt, smelt, heard or tasted, I don't believe in it.  Foretelling events thousands of years in advance....blah!  

But a tidal wave of water coming over the Himalayas, that's something I want to see.

 by our calendar, this was August 11, 3114

8/11 changed everything.

So what happened on the first day according to the Mayans?   I'm just dying to know.

So anyways their calendar is merely ending, nothing more nothing less.

We don't need to sweat it; we won't be making it to 2012.  I just checked my kitchen calendar and *IT* doesn't even go to January, 2010.

So what happened on the first day according to the Mayans?   I'm just dying to know.

Judging from the first day of *OUR* calendars, probably hangovers and football. 

Well that makes it official.  The world ends December 2009.   The good news is,  I won't have to pay off all of that loan I just took out. 

No Adam?  No Eve?  No Lilith?

The problem is that the Mayan calendar is cyclical.  That particular cycle on which the Mayan calendar is based ends in Dec. 2012.  They could have done another one if they wanted to, but those cycles are looooooong.

Ask and ye shall receive, Audrey.  Here's the Mud Men story:

So the world isn't going to end in 2012?   What a relief!

DAMN

Finally a creation story I can get behind

The great spirit Quatz created woman, whom he left alone in the dark forest. The woman lamented day and night, until Quatz took pity and appeared to her in a canoe of copper, in which many handsome young men were rowing. One of the rowers told her it was the great spirit who was supplying her with the companionship she craved. At these words she cried the more, and as the tears trickled down, they fell to the ground. Quatz commanded her to look, and she saw with amazement a tiny child, a boy, entirely formed. Her firstborn son became the ancestor of the taises(?), while from her other sons the common people are descended.

Funny how all of these creators  felt the need to be worshipped.

 They could have done another one if they wanted to, but those cycles are looooooong.

That's what I always tell my students! Ever since that Nick Cage movie came out, they keep asking me about 2012. I tell them, sheesh, they planned their calendar out for a few thousand years. Isn't that enough? Mine ends in 5 months.

The world won't end in 2012.  Just Sarah Palin's political career.  (That one's for Nancy. :)

Joe the Plumber seems to be emerging as the best hope for the Republicans in 2012.   He gets more air time than any one else on the right, including Palin.

Palin's star continues to rise. You better start wearing shades. And buy some tissues.

Witbee

A conservative dream team

Sarah Palin/Joe the Plumber.  Joe will run for the presidency, natually, since he's the smartest.

I'll need that tissue to wipe about the tears of laughter.

Palin's star continues to rise.

Oh, I so hope you're right.  I'm counting on her to hand us the White House again in October, 2012 (of course, the term will only run for a month or so...)

It is SAD when all you've got to pin your hopes to is Sarah Palin. 

I know, but we've already lost Ensign and Sanford in the past two weeks.  Who's left?  Rudie?  Of course, we've got to pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that Fred Thompson doesn't wake up during the primary season.

BTW, Karl Malden just died...

Karl Malden?  That's 6

Good lord what's going on.

Oh they have beer in hell Catpaw. It's just that you have to drink it European style.

The trailer I saw for 2012 was pretty cool. It was a little eerie seeing the ocean come up over the top of the Himalayas.

But since the trailer was extrememly short, I get the feeling that the movie won't be that good.

2012---The end of the world---Could this be a good thing considering????

"Lucky escape for Arsenal if it did..."

I don't know anything about this "Joe the Plumber" guy, but I do know Palin has you running scared. That is a start. I don't know about pinning hopes, but I like her.

Feel free to keep her in the public eye. The more "slutty prositute" jokes the Left makes, the more the soccer/hockey moms will rally behind her. I mean, really, you people are virtually handing her the apolitical female sympathy vote.

I wouldn't worry about her handing you guys the White House. The damage President Obama is doing to us (and plans to do)will easily hand it back to us in 2012. 

Frankly, if he turns the economy around without stealing from everyone to do it, I might consider a vote for him. But there are certainly other factors involved.

Karl Malden was still alive? He was great in Patton.

I never think about Sarah Palin until someone (usually a conservative) brings her up.  But you keep up the fantasy of how skeered all of us dems are of her if it makes you feel better.

BTW

I'm a female and she doesn't inspire sympathy from me.  More of a....... kind of a contempt.

Yeah, as a woman I use my little "feelings" to decide who to vote for. While men use their big brains.

Apolitical vote? The definition of the word says not so:

1. Having no interest in or association with politics.
2. Having no political relevance or importance: claimed that the President's upcoming trip was purely apolitical.

but I do know Palin has you running scared.

Oh, no, don't throw us in the Palin Patch!

.

Frankly, if he turns the economy around without stealing from everyone to do it, I might consider a vote for him.

Problem is, you'll just decide that returning to the Clinton-era tax rates constitutes "theft."

Palin is in a boat all by herself---all the other GOP hopefulls can't keep it in their trousers--male or female---it don't matter--they are getting caught--just like THEIR platform on family values--remember the Christians Leaders that was caught doing doing drugs AND men---or the hookers-----

Your party has a DEEP hole to climb out of===let me know when THEY can walk on water again-----

Sanford made the weepiest,  creepiest explanation for his infidelity that I've ever heard.

1.  He and his argentine squeeze are soulmates

2.  Their love story is a "tragic" one

3.  The moment they met on a disco floor he knew they were meant for each other.

What's sad is this dweeb has an awesome wife.  Who, incidentially has all the money and brains in their marriage.

Palin's star continues to rise.

And she keeps finding ways of crashing it back to earth.

 BTW, the heavily advertised on rightwing TV and radio fundraiser for Palin failed miserably. They only got a fraction of the money they set as their goal.

but I do know Palin has you running scared

She has us running to the bathroom from laughing so damned hard.

Sanford needs to go to Argentina to be with his soul mate.  He owes it to his wife to let her find someone better.

Sanford needs to go to Argentina to be with his soul mate

Which soulmate?

The Argentinian, or one of the many women he claimed to never "crossed the line" with?

The one with the nice view of Lake Titicaca.

Has anyone asked her if she still wants to be with him?

Or will he become a stalker?

Yeah, Sarah Palin is an acquired taste, I guess.  I saw a picture of her on my webrowser homepage where she was in a pink aerobics outfit standing next to a lake and exercising with her arms in the air and a big, huge smile on her face and I thought the picture HAD to be photoshopped.  NO WAY would a GOVERNOR of a state pose for a publicity photo in a pink leotard! 

Yes, yes she would!  LOL! 

There's also a picture from the same batch in Runner's World where she's desecrating the American flag.

My address is 2012.

We will be celebrating the Dawn of a New Age.

BYOB and be ready for the fire walk, drum circle, and rack of lamb barbecue.

I would say something that would stroak the fur the wrong way with some folks out here---but I won't---all I can say is that even my FIRST wife and I agreed that we we're rolling the dice as to having a healthy child at OUR ages--per advice from our doctor...

We wern't just thinking of ourselves---but the quality of life of the child....but it would have been a beautiful child--I could only see it in my dreams

LOL!  You gotta love her Debbie Reynolds-meets-Days Of Our Lives hairdos.  I mean seriously--what 40ish mother of five children wears her hair in PIGTAILS? 

Better yet, what Governor wears her hair in pigtails?

Better yet, what Presidential hopeful wears her hair in pigtails? 

Better yet, what female over the age of 10 wears pigtails anyway?  Besides Cindy Brady, I mean.

What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull?  Pigtails! 

Disclaimer:  I HAVE seen this look many, many times on Hef's girlfriends on "The Girls Next Door," and it's a look that works for them.

Sage:  Yeah, as a woman I use my little "feelings" to decide who to vote for. While men use their big brains.

EXACTLY, Sage. What a crock that hockey/soccer moms are going to vote for Sarah because the left picks on her. Poor widdle Sarah.

While men use their big brains.

It was the little brain which dictated much of Palin's male support. 

Spam Code LVEVL:  a way of life *AND* a palindrome.

Love the pose and the props, all the mommy parts are very well hidden.
