barbie angell’s tips for the rapture….

rapture tip #1. do not drink any kool-aid if you did not prepare it yourself.

rapture tip #2. disregard any “rapture” churches which ask you to agree to yearly contributions or have pamphlets detailing summer events.

rapture tip #3. when spaceships begin to appear in the sky, do not flee to LA. tom cruise & will smith are actors & cannot help you.

rapture tip #4. if you feel inclined to give away your worldly possessions….please contact me, i can definitely help you with that.

rapture tip #5. do not approach zombies even if you know them. that is not your aunt edna & she doesn’t want a hug….she wants your brains.

rapture tip #6. protocol is to run screaming into the streets & get hit by cars. this is post-rapture population control for the rest of us.

rapture tip #7. post apocalyptic concert will be held @SazeracAVL : ) bouncers will be stopping zombies at the door. please bring your pulse.

rapture tip #8. concert is free, but you must know all lyrics to rem’s “end of the world”. just shouting leonard bernstein is not acceptable

rapture tip #9 Rosanne Cash will be headlining our concert. : ) all reports that elvis will be performing are false….at this time.

rapture tip #10. mark wahlberg may make an appearance with the “funky bunch” if we can ascertain that hell has indeed frozen by concert time.

rapture tip #11. once again….DO NOT DRINK ANY KOOL-AID YOU HAVE NOT PREPARED YOURSELF….& also avoid the brown acid. dude….seriously.

rapture tip #12. do not listen to any “preachers” who insist god is talking directly to them. god only talks to me….& Steve Martin.

rapture tip #13. to fully prepare yourself for life without power, gas or computers, please obtain a copy of “the amish guide to living”.

rapture tip #14. please note “the amish guide to living” is not available for the kindle or sony reader. it is only compatible with the nook.

rapture tip #15. it is not acceptable to enslave an amish person post-rapture, any more than it is acceptable to own a canadian.

rapture tip #16. u.s. currency & electronic devices will not be useful post-rapture. keep this in mind when writing out your “to-loot” list.

rapture tip #17. not everyone is aware u.s. currency will be worthless. keep this in mind when directing others to the “best looting places”.

rapture tip #18. please form orderly lines when setting riot bonfires. matches will be a rarity in a few months. let’s try to conserve them.

rapture tip #19. if you find yourself in a building during the apocalypse, exits will be located….pretty much everywhere.

rapture tip #20. now is the time to buy stock in kool-aid, just make sure you cash out & purchase livestock on may 20th or you’re screwed.

rapture tip 21. bunkers should not be made of biodegradable materials. people, this is not the time to go green.

rapture tip 33. the old adage is true….you don’t have to run fast, just faster than the guy who was ahead of you.

rapture tip 34. it is perfectly acceptable to scream like a little girl when approached by a gang of zombies. it isn’t helpful, but it is acceptable.

rapture tip 35. avoid all members of the westboro baptist church like the plague….actually, they will literally have the plague post-rapture.

rapture tip 36. sacrificing virgins is a pagan ritual, this particular god won’t be swayed by a screaming, bikini-clad co-ed.

rapture tip 37. watching the “thriller” video is not zombie research just as watching “e.t.” will not prepare you for dealing with our alien overloads.

rapture tip 42. if you are “taken” on saturday, it is considered uncouth to shout “i told you so” to those left behind.

rapture tip 43. the “left behind” movie series is not factually accurate. do not take orders from kirk cameron.

rapture tip 44. if you find yourself face to face with a group of zombies, do not yell “eat me”….they don’t understand sarcasm.

rapture tip 45. all our handbaskets are eco-friendly & will explode at the shores of the river styx. please exit quickly.

rapture tip 46. truism. that which does not kill you won’t really matter after saturday.

rapture tip 47. please keep hands & feet in the handbasket until we reach hell….oh, never mind.

rapture tip 48. please refrain from smoking while in the handbasket….unless you are on fire.

rapture tip 49. there is no food allowed in the handbaskets, so please do not share your basket with a zombie.

rapture tip 50. raid will not kill the swarms of locusts, although recent testing indicates that axe body spray will disintegrate them.

rapture tip 51. your best chance of survival is the buddy system. please, if you become a zombie, do not eat your buddy.

rapture tip 52. if you do not own firearms make sure to locate a god-fearing neighbor who does.

rapture tip 53. do not feed the stallions which are carrying the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. you don’t want to piss off death.

rapture tip 54. on oct 21st the world will explode. do not bend over & kiss your ass good-bye….it just looks stupid.

rapture tip 55. everybody, say it with me….DO NOT DRINK THE KOOL-AID! : )

rapture tip 57. with the dead inhabiting the earth, remember your ghostbusters lesson….”if someone asks you if you’re a god, you say ‘yes’.”

rapture tip 58. the number of the beast is 666.  668 is the next-door neighbor of the beast….he’s a quiet guy & keeps mostly to himself.

rapture tip #59. satan does not wear red pajamas.  he wears armani, has oddly-coiffed hair and talks about fire a lot….for example, “you’re fired.”

rapture tip #60. the rapture will be televised, but only on the fox news network.

rapture tip #61.  if you have questions about zombies, find an expert.  look for anyone in a marvel or dc comics t-shirt carrying a 1970s star wars collection.

rapture tip #62. if you’re unsure if you will be “left behind” keep paying your mortgage….i guarantee the people in charge aren’t going anywhere.

rapture tip #63. there are no plans to “occupy hell”….the 99% down there  is comprised of an entirely different class of people.

rapture tip #64. predictions that the end of the world is nigh are being corroborated by the fact that gas prices have started to go down.

rapture tip #66. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again….god does not want you to drink the kool-aid….and neither do i.

have a safe & happy rapture. : )
