It's now the 22nd and it didn't end
We don't care how you do it up north.
YAY! Our canary in the coalmine lives!
Now I can have a simple, modest dinner instead of going to the trouble of an elaborate final feast.
AFAIK, there were no Mayans on your island. The world will end appropriately in our time zone.
Man, people are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow.
If there were a god you would have been smited for that.
People may not laugh at everyone's jokes about the end of the world, but they certainly laugh at Mayan.
Whiterun Guard tetchy vs Whiterun Guard punning... what is worse in the morning?

Christ on a bike, not you too
Oh come now, you would expect nothing less from this crew, ne?

WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN RAPTURED YET?
SINNER!!!!!

I highly recommend Dead City Radio to anyone who likes Burroughs at all.
Bill sounds like a petty wise man to me dude. Wow.
