I can understand that l123. You've never been censored before, and now you'll never get your chance. Sorry bro.

Uh-oh.

Well, we were wrong, the Apocalypse is here. Oops.

Quote:

Barricade your doors, forget your true self, and embrace your mutations: triple j's Max Lavergne shares his advice on surviving an eat-or-be-eaten post-apocalyptic world.

It's the end of the world!

It's funny how for months - YEARS - we all of us made a bunch of knowing jokes about the Mayan calendar and the approaching apocalypse but never really expected it to happen, and yet here we are, sitting at our computers on Friday, December 21, 2012, with our civilisation crumbling around us and demonic horrors destroying all we've ever known.

It's hard to not feel a little foolish, watching hordes of slender ghouls ushering crying thousands into the fire pit at the base of the Great Obsidian Obelisk and knowing that we could have been more prepared, but it's the boat that we're all in.

Luckily for you, your friends at The Drum have prepared a few handy hints to ease you into Oblivion. Let's discuss them before the generator fails and your computer goes dark forever!

I'm still hoping for the way wolf described it, as an "end of an age" major cultural shift. She once put forth the ideas that 1.) at the end of the previous age, the conquistadors arrived, and/or 2.) the Mayans worshipped corn, and one could fairly say we do as well, with the way we put it into every consumable good.

I'm open to the societal rejection of HFCS, or alien conquistadors, whichever. But I'll be pretty busy with regular life today, so I'll just keep checking back in this thread for news, okay? You guys be my eyes on the ground.

Such nonsense. Everyone knows the world will end on a Friday; but, common sense should tell you that it will be on a Friday the 13th.

Maybe we've all died and just don't know it, in which case I am disappoint. Driving through snowstorms should not be part of the afterlife.
