OK, OK, so “Annie” can’t be resurrected, but at least all the episodes that Bob wrote could be continued in a slot here. I see my comments were edited out by whoever edits GoCo - I don’t mind because I see that all the spam has disappeared too. Well done!
arye, you are whining. You are whining so much, people are flagging your posts because you’re spamming us. We get it, you miss Annie. To the point of obsession. Try transferring that obsession to another strip you can be happy with and give us some peace.
sayhowURfeelingB4URgone – No one can prove this in any way that you would accept…but I have this feeling that, somewhere, God is reading your post, and chuckling to Himself about which of you two will have the last word.
Lighten up, bud. You sound angry and bitter, and that’s not at all a good way to go through life, regardless of whether you’re right or wrong about God.
“What do you mean, you’re retiring? You’re the calendar guy!”
“Look, I’ve been carving that stupid calendar since I was barely old enough to move out of Mom’s house. I’ve got it carved all the way out to 2012, and surely SOMEONE else can take over and continue it before then!”
sayhowURfeelingB4URgone while the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 doesn’t have to mean the world will end at that time, you have to recognize that it might well do so. what can we do about it, either way? just live our lives, i guess. and i must say that my new favourite phrase is, “something armageddonish.” thanks Wiley
The Mayan Calendar’s Dec. 2012 ending is simply a reset, like Y2K was to supposed to be for computers (and you remember the angst and trauma THAT caused).
When I was at Uni a friend of mine who was a rabid born again Christian was one day yammering on to me about a great website all about “a-mega-don”. I thought it was some paleontology site until I looked over her shoulder at the computer and exclaimed, “You mean ARMAGEDDON”!
Of course, I should’ve realised that a holier than thou attitude and being judgemental of those around her was all she needed to be born again. Vishnu forbid that she should actually EDUCATE herself about the religion that was running her life.
Oh, and she was a friend as, apart from her misguided preaching about Jayzuz, she was a nice person… just a bit dumb.
@Hoomi: you’ve hit the nail on the head my friend.
gmchaney: Human minds are extraordinarily good at finding patterns, whether they really exist or not. We are practically compelled to find in order in a chaotic nature by creating gods and myths. and stories in general. This may have evolved as human language evolved and stories evolved as guides to learn skills such as how to hunt and bring down prey or how to find food and shelter.
Am I the only one who noticed that “sayhow” placed the end of the world date to be December of 1212? In that case, the world is over. You may now continue living your lives.
Though I’m generally conservative, if Sarah Palin is elected President in 2013, I may have to move to Australia, or perhaps a nice tropical South American nation.
Sayhow, I did notice that you corrected that, but in the big scheme of things it sort of made your point when the date was wrong. There have been many prophesies of “armageddon” and the end of the world. As yet, they have all turned out to be incorrect. While there have been localized events which back in the days before Christ and Mohammed, might have seemed like world ending events to those in the midst of them (Pompei comes to mind), the speed and ease with which information is transmitted globally these days lets us know that they are indeed localized events. They are no less tragic for that fact, but they don’t cause a de-evolution of society.

Sayhow are you sure that the Mayan calendar isn’t ending in November 6, 2012 allowing for leap years and all? Wouldn’t that be a pip?

If the world does end in December 2012 I’ll bet we are discussing it for the next month in this forum. Hahahah

^^The reason the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is the fact that their civilization ended before they could add 2013.

Question: Why do people make up myths and fables? Animals don’t, as far as we can tell. What makes humans different in this regard?

Besides, the best advice on preparing for armageddon hasn’t changed:
Act in a way you won’t be ashamed, and it doesn’t matter when the world ends.
