Today is rapture day (see link)
There must be many who simply do not want to be taken up into the sky (like me), and so I will be donning my Anti-Rapture Hook Apparatus.
It's a simple arrangement, consisting of a sturdy harness from which hangs two stoutly constructed, but versatile hooks on the
end of retracting cables.
During the day I shall be certain to attach one hook to any convenient anchoring point and move around on its extendable lead. Before moving on, I will attach hook number two to the next suitable post, then release hook number one. In this way I shall avoid the extremes of the rapture.
This item is available for rapid dispatch! Time is running out!!
Rapture Day is Nigh

A high rapture casualty rate - maybe bungee jumping would be safest

+ from me. Although I have lead a blameless, productive and even, many have said, holy life, I too am not keen on beng rapturised just yet and have spent much time worrying about it. I need worry no longer. |
|
| |
Maybe we could invent Rapture Bungee Jumping. |
|
| |
I swear I read this as Hookah Apparatus.
That can't be a good sign. |
|
| |
Brilliant! Yea verily, thou shalt see another bun today... [+] |

Why not just put yourself on your dogs runny lead in
the back yard. Call off any appts. and enjoy your day
in the sun. Fully relaxed and confident that you will
just feel a mild tug upward when it happens, and
then a little plump down, when it's over. |
|
| |
Also, please have a sinner take photos, and send me
after. I would love to see you on a leash for the day. |
|
| |
I dare say, there are but a few on this website who need fear the day of rapture. |
|
| |
Frankly I'm going to have a picnic and watch the event
(not) happen. |
|
| |
Those who are suitable for Rapture
Have proven difficult to find
They aren't simply left behind
Perhaps they are avoiding capture |
|
| |
You could go Camping, [dentworth]. I imagine he's
coming unrapt, about now. |
|
| |
When I'm caught up by the rapture,
Grab the hook of my apparatus. |
|
| |
I want to send velociraptors up after the chosen. |
|
| |
I think it's important in the spirit of religious tolerance that, when confronted by a former doomsayer, not to note that they've gone and got the date wrong... rather to simply emphasize that apparently they weren't one of the chosen after all. |
|
| |
For sale! "Anti-Rapture Hook Apparatus" - only worn once, but never actually "used" due to lack of Godly intervention. |
|
| |
Instead of attaching it to an anchor point on Earth, perhaps you could use it in conjunction with a grappling hook to latch onto and skewer one of the guys going up. That way, if you yourself don't want to hitch a ride into eternal glory, you could force one of them to drag up a string of feral cats. |
|
| |
(heh... that will teach them for not picking you...) |
|
| |
Ask a music industry manager. They do that stuff all the time. |
|
| |
Isn't an anti-rapture apparatus simply NOT walking the old lady across the street, or stealing the candy from the baby. |
|
| |
I like that this is in [product:anti-theft] |
|
| |
[fried dwight] had it right. Or is that just for Boy
Scouts of America? |
|
| |
infidel: "You could go Camping" ... |
|
| |
Hah! sorry took me so long to catch that! |
|
| |
[xandram] that picture looks to me like it might have been photoshopped. |
|
| |
I think it has been photoshopped... they have their
clothes on. |
|
| |
I see a serious problem here with naked people rising into the sky.... actually I see several. (problems that is) |
|
| |
Hungry, pecking seagulls. That's the first one. Men need to be concerned about these aggressive birds, for obvious reasons. |
|
| |
The next problem I see is with regard to people revealing their nakedness to each other. Will this not cause temptations that lead to impure thoughts? Will entertaining such thoughts not cause the previously pure of heart to fall from the sky? |
|
| |
The next problem I see is what I describe as the "evil half of the Siamese twin dilemma". I think that one is self explanatory. |
|
| |
There are others, but most of these don't effect me. I'm sure I will be be experiencing the opposite of the rapture.... ie the one where people start being sucked under ground towards the black hole that lives in the centre of the earth (yikes).... once this is verified as a possibility, I shall start wearing my inflating waist apparatus, and fill my pockets with Higgs Bosons |
|
| |
//but most of these don't effect me// People with a poor command of grammar won't be raptured. |
|
| |
Nor will the unobservant //I'm sure I will be be experiencing// |
|
| |
//I want to send velociraptors up after the chosen//
Velocirapture? (There must be an idea in that, surely!) |
|
| |
And yes, [DrB], there almost certainly is, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul (if any). |
