    Obviously, the Mayans were technologically superior. They figured out how to redesign society itself, so they would only have to pay their taxes once every few thousand years.

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

    People think those sacrifices they did were to honour the gods. That was merely a cover story to remove the Mayan IRS.

      The calendar I use runs out once a year, and yet I still have to pay my taxes four months later. What's up with that?

      The Mayan calendar begins and ends when the plane of the ecliptic intersects with the center of our galaxy. According to doomsayers, some earth ending event is supposed to happen when this alignment occurs. Of course, logic dictates that the same earth-ending event could happen when my anal pore lines up with the toilet on any given day, or that the resulting deficant deposit could somehow shift the poles, turn light into dark, and cause Obama to be elected to a 2nd term.

              Surely we hope you win your struggle and Obama will be elected to a 2nd term. Memory alignment may be this tricky as well as your daily toilet ?

                Where in my message did I even hint that I would want Obama elected to a 2nd term? I merely used that as a metaphor that reflected the impossiblity of it happening.

                    So if Obama gets elected to a 2nd term the chances of the planet being destroyed are increased? Isn't there a election in 2012?

                          I'm not a republican (in fact, I'm not "affiliated" at all), and since my pistols are always cocked and locked, the only sound you'd hear is a bang.

                                The Mayan calendar begins and ends when the plane of the ecliptic intersects with the center of our galaxy. According to doomsayers, some earth ending event is supposed to happen when this alignment occurs. Of course, logic dictates that the same earth-ending event could happen when my anal pore lines up with the toilet on any given day, or that the resulting deficant deposit could somehow shift the poles, turn light into dark, and cause Obama to be elected to a 2nd term.

                                Now you're just talking crap.

                                Two heads are better than one.

                                  And yelling "target practice" I'm sure :)

                                  I would be remiss to neglect the opportunity for target practice. :)

                                    It doesn't take long for a thread here to go down the toilet. A lot of comments don't pass the smell test, and just lay there, like a turd. Some folks just blurt shit out, leaving a floater in the lounge for all to see. Sometimes I just want to flush the hole damn thing, but then someone startsto get anal about one thing or another, and we have to pore fluid on it to dilute the verbal diarhea.

                                      The Mayan calendar begins and ends when the plane of the ecliptic intersects with the center of our galaxy. According to doomsayers, some earth ending event is supposed to happen when this alignment occurs. Of course, logic dictates that the same earth-ending event could happen when my anal pore lines up with the toilet on any given day, or that the resulting deficant deposit could somehow shift the poles, turn light into dark, and cause Obama to be elected to a 2nd term.

                                      Felt like it did a bit yesterday... You need to lay off the hot sauce.

                                        Are you trying to say that what's Mayan is Mayan, and what's yours is yours?

                                          That leaves a nasty stink, I bet the brown eye is quiverring with all this potty talk.

                                          Two heads are better than one.
