Default Who's joining us for the apocalypse?
We're going to have an apocalypse next week. I've asked Bob if it could be on Thursday because I'm at RAF Cosford on Wednesday for a UBAS interview. He should text me back and I'll tell you the arrangements then.

So who's in?

Look, if there is going to be an apocolypse can we make it before next saturday so that I won't have to give the presentation a co-worker and I are preparing.

And if its really going to happen let me know because I have a lot of sick days I can use next week.

It's going to be on the Thursday.

There'll be video games about death, destruction, disease, famine, suffering and all those other good things.

And there'll be punch.

Uhm, the side effect of dieing is that you are no longer alive.

Come on!!!! That's not really fair. I voted no because I prefer an apocalypse without horses--one of them is sure to come up lame or colic and then the whole party is off!! How about the Four Beagles of the Apocalypse? Much more dependable animals.
Thursay's good for me, unless I'm the guest of honor, then I'd prefer to wait until Saturday.
