THIS WILL NOT INHIBIT MY QUEST FOR CRAMSTIPATED END-OF-THE-WORLD HAND-WRINGING HYSTERIA

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm curious about how the end of the world is going to impact the 2012 holiday shopping season.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

We should start a business selling Mayan Apocalypse Readiness Kits.

THIS.

THIS. 

You know, between people who bought it as a joke and people who bought it for serious, I bet that could be a tidy moneymaker.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It would have to have a crystal in it.

It would have to have a crystal in it.

And mayan pictographs.

I just realized, this is what Hubbard must have been thinking when he invented Scientology.

Well shit, what are we waiting for?

[Triple Zero]

brotep, who's waiting??



anyway, so we got a crystal, mayan pictographs. needs something against solar flares, perhaps one of those special eclipse viewing glasses (don't think about it too much and that makes perfect sense).

and a countdown clock? can you order those? I should think so, just a simple LED alarm clock counting down programmed to a specific date. with a bunch of mayan symbols on it.

it should also have a bullshit booklet.

In January 2001 I bought a bunch of Y2K preparation material. It was on sale 90% off.

The best thing in the whole package was the Y2K prep VHS casette, which explained

1) what goods you will need after the world ends - canned food, bottled water, first aid kits, etc
2) how to pack your car
3) prepare calmly, before the riots start

I don't think it explained where you should go after civilization is over, but that is best answered by the zombie survival guide

You're gonna need interdimensional ducttape in 2012, canned goods and bottled water (unless it's infused with positive emotions) are gonna do you no good!
