caddymanThus far, I feel bound to say, The Rapture, as announced by a gentleman named Harold Camping, has been a conspicuous bore and a thunderous disappointment.
That said, there has been some fun stuff across the intarwebs, where people have been making Rapture jokes as if there were no tomorrow. My favourites include the Post-Rapture Looting Party organised for everyone to attend over of Farcebørk. I may well attend, but only if the Police have been Raptured en masse. I also like the idea of leaving carefully arranged sets of clothes around town as if their owners had been snatched out of them.
Good value.
This cartoon, however, is my particular favourite, because this is how the world will end -

You may have better luck than I did, but it seems that Harold Camping's radio station, Family Radio, might be the only victim/beneficiary of the Rapture. the website seems to be down. Either too many people are accessing it, or it's the first victim of the apocalypse. Or maybe all the staff have ascended and I will look even more foolish than usual in a couple of hours' time.
In the meantime, because everybody else is doing it, here's Blondie:

Edited to add: I just discovered that Harold Camping's middle name is Egbert. Respect.
