It will be close enough to my Birthday for the pre-birthday party, so that's where I'll be - at my house, & at MY party!

There is a reason for this. And trust me, when a bunch of harry potter geeks think your fucking retarded, you know there is something wrong.

I fully expect this date to produce results which are just as Earth-shaking as the Harmonic Convergence back in the 1980's.
What, you don't remember that?
I'll go out on a limb, and say that a New-Age misinterpretation of work done by a DMT-hoovering hippie geek with an overlay of bad archaeology and some leftover millennial loopiness is really unlikely to denote any sort of cosmical event.
If a large number of New-Age weenies would do me the favor of departing Spaceship Earth in the hours before their Immanent Doom arrives, I would be grateful, though, as I live in the Bay Area, and might then be able to find a parking spot. I was actually on a mountain top in colorado with the guy that came up with that date when it happened. He was a family friend of ours for years. There, now if your clever you have all the information needed to find out who I am  I was only eight years old at the time and more interested in poking a cactus plant with a stick but anyway, he insisted until his dying day his date was right and that the end of the mayan calendar was never supposed to be a bad thing. He always thought that the guy that purposed the 2012 date as not only wrong but a sensationalist. |

I would be more impressed if he had come up with the date before it happened, like so many amateur astrologers and astronomers did.  |

TEOTWAWKI Took me a minute or two to realise what this meant. It sounds like an ancient Hawaiian deity..some sort of God of Destruction..! "Behold!! Teotwawki has come! The end it nigh!" It would be pushing it a bit far if the presiding deity of 'The end of the world as we know it' had a name that was just a mnemonic for 'The end of the world as we know it'. I mean, that would imply that the folks who come up with this stuff consider their target audience to be a bunch of credulous, gullible fools. Everyone knows that the actual name of the God involved is:- SYHBYKAKYAG |

Okay, that one took me a few seconds to figure out, but I like it.
TEOTWAWKI is easier to pronounce, though.

I'm not certain that, under the circumstances, this would be the most important consideration. |

But one is a verb while the other is a noun. |

Dear Ladies and gentlemen:
I regret to inform you I will not be able to attend the "end of the world party," on account I will be 14 million parsecs away from Earth. I will be, however, watching the end of the universe while drinking a glass of absinthe.
Cheers,
J. Wilhelm
Now is the important question: HOW will you be having your Absinthe, sir? |

I'm staying at home for the end of the world. Probably reading a book and consuming my body weight in loose leaf tea.
I might come by towards the end to see how it went. To see if it was a success or if it was a failure.
What is the dress code?

Several modern detectives now claim that “Jack the Ripper” was actually named Carl.
“Carl the Ripper” just doesn’t have the same ring.
