The Rapture

I failed to ascend to heaven on Saturday.


Alas! Evidently, I am not one of the chosen.


Anybody around here missing?

Yup I came back down today just to do Pedal Pittsburgh.

This IS Pgh, Mick. The world came to an end. Pgh raptures in 2018.

I thought the whole rapture thing was fake until I tried to find water during Pedal Pittsburgh.

Pseudacris, I want to "like" your note, but this isn't Facebook.

Pgh raptures in 2018.


I just KNEW there was some logical reason why I didn't float upwards toward heaven.

I was chowing down on ice cream cake at the stroke of 6. I *was* in heaven.

I just think it's funny that they calculated it all out, double and triple checked their math, and they assumed that since none of themselves got raptured up, that it didn't happen. How do we know that the righteous didn't get raptured up, and it just wasn't them? Maybe their math was right and their morals weren't?


6PM Saturday I was beside a camp fire eating marshmallows. What Stu said.

I was raptured Saturday at 6PM and surprisingly heaven looks just like Pittsburgh.

I figured as much.

Yeah. I got raptured up and sent back. Seems somebody upstairs screwed up. I didn't notice many others there, though. Just a few people with brown skin and one old white lady. Probably nobody anyone will miss. I did overhear a rumor that the armageddon thing has been postponed a bit; they're going to wait a while and try the rapture again. Y'know, see if they can score a few more souls next time.

For some reason, the title "Jurassic Park IV: VelociRapture" has been stuck in my mind all weekend.


As has an opening sequence from Six Feet Under from a few years back (Not Entirely Safe For Work)

I am not going to be missing it. And no weird bible comics in my son's candy bag either.

I can't believe Oprah's last show is tomorrow. It might as well be the end of days.

Those of us who will be left behind will have the most kickass Halloween party ever.

It's my theory that only the souls of the righteous got raptured. Left the soulless bodies behind.

oh lord... 10/21 is my birthday. hmmmmmmm

I actually thought the Rapture was on June 3 when Trek announces me the winner of that Shepard Fairey Madone.

Fairey? Feh... I'm waiting for Banksy to sell out.

10/21 will also be a business casual day

We missed the second rapture yesterday, I guess cyclist are staying here.

Maybe the 80s song came true, and we made heaven a place on earth. Does love come first?
