Sam: It's hard to pack for an apocalypse, Z. I just don't know what's appropriate. Zonker: When's this bad boy supposed to happen? Sam: After midnight tonight. Zonker: Hmm... two hours before my shift ends. So odd... Sam: What's odd? Zonker: I never saw myself dying in a bow tie and apron. Sam: Hey, what would happen to your tips?

" After midnight in what time zone? GMT? Central standard time in Canada/USA? Or one of the time zones that are offset by 30 minutes".Mayan Standard Time. Besides she said After Midnight which is still kind of vague. Perhaps some Clapton is especially appropriate.

Nantucket19, yesterday – that is what they want you to think. I would rather have a nuclear war than something from Fort Detrick get lose.

Donald Trump thinks he will live forever. This is delusion number 1503 in “Trump’s Big Book of Delusions.”

Yeah, that has a lot to do with a Mayan doomsday. The Mayan gods are sneaky.

Heck, this is almost as good as Y2K.
(Which actually wasn’t a hoax; there were very legitimate concerns. However, it was wildly overblown.)

“… the REAL story of the cover up [was Hillary Clinton’s fake] headache ….”
Scared witless of another Clinton dynasty Presidency, eh? Heh heh heh.

" the wanna be POTUS [Hillary Clinton] with the headache. She was too incapacitated for many days to attend a hearing but not so ill as to go to a hospital …."
She had the stomach flu too, Dr.Trav.

Do we know if the Maya actually had a concept of “midnight”? Non-technological societies, lacking clocks, wouldn’t know what we consider 12AM. That’s why the Jewish day begins at sunset, which is readily observed. And, in Exodus, God says to Moses, “I will come in the middle of the night”, and Moses tells the Egyptians, “God will come around the middle of the night”, since he knew they might miscalculate and call God a liar (God forbid).

So the three people forced to resign aren’t being held accountable?

“Whitewater” and “Travelgate” were both investigated to hell and back, and neither one turned out to have any substance whatever to the charges. Somebody who’s still hopping up and down over those nothingburgers is likely deluded..Oh, but here’s a scandal: 3000 dead Americans! Wanna follow up on that, or is that ancient history?
