Default Spend it FAST guys!

Why spend it now?

'Cause Harold Camping says the world is gonna end on Friday October 21st! [link=http://blog.beliefnet.com/news/2011/10/the-world-will-end-october-21-says-harold-camping-but-no-billboards-this-time.php#ixzz1aeLrBqNE]World to end on October 21st[/link]

Hey, you may not actually receive your purchased items unless you order " afterlife delivery ", but if this falls through, at least you can give the SO a semi-decent excuse... eh?

Me, I just think he's predicting the demise of his popularity, and they won't even bother with ANY more news articles. Only the boneheads that blog about crap like this will pay any attention (I have a Facebook acct, but I don't post. Too much chance of my past coming back to haunt me, or worse (and its already let one jackass find me)

As for the 2012 'prediction', I think thats a crock too. The Middle East isn't THAT messed up, North Korea/China ditto, so I really don't see a nuclear war ending it all (at least at ~this~ point). Admittedly, an asteroid might clip us, but hey, we've been under that thread for millenia, why worry about it now? It toasted the dinos, or so the theory goes, why should we be any different?

I just wanna enjoy my toys until its time for me to be charcoaled (no buried box for me, nope) and mebbe see if there is anything after you croak.

Nee-deep! (thats a pre-emptive croak, sillies!)

Considering that personal loan Camping took out with no verifiable means of paying back, he better pray that this time his prediction is on target!

Guys, guys...

If the SO's ~think~ we're under the impression that things are gonna end, they just might let us squeek out a few more purchases before the 21st. Use it, or loose it, right? Anyone gonna take the day off, and have a BBQ? Worth it not to waste that bottle, Tim!

As for expiry dates... I take those with a grain of salt. Soon as you open the bottle, that date is worthless, as contaminants can get into the bottle from the air. Thats the ~shelf~ life, not in-use life.

And Happy 18th Tetris.

The world won't end in 2011 (or 2012), Marty McFly has been to 2015. It's a well known internet fact.

It will take that long to choose which SLU for which tank. I can only afford one.

Be Well
