My first thought was a Support our Troops effort:
http://redshirtfridays.org/ And it kind of fits, but that's every Friday. We wear a red shirt at work on Fridays on a pretty regular basis. |

I don't know how much of this one is still functional, but it was a huge and well researched site back in 1998/9 when Nosti and Y2K were at their hype, I mean height.

All the best with the pub talk. John Hodgman was new to me. Thanks for the link! Out of curiosity, have any Rapturetm fans claimed a piece of the 21 12 2012 turf? ETA: Ask and ye shall be given http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com.es...g-rapture.html |

I think my group of friends may be having a "It's not the end of the World" party that night. We'll probably watch bad Kung Fu movies and trade stories about silly prophecies until we're all too tired to keep going.

It seems almost everybody is posting end of the world videos. Here's another one. (Yes, I'm old.)

The pulled him from the station that aired C2C in D-FW since the early 90s after a format change. I was hoping someone else would pick up the show here, but no one has. George is having a special woo-a-polluza show that night and I'd love to listen.
Speaking of woo, Answers in Genesis has weighed in with it's usual insipidness. |

They are totally discounting any possibility that Dec 21 will bring the end of the world. And they have been for some time. This is why I think there will be no major fear or panic from anyone like there was for y2k. With y2k you had people on coast to coast right up to the last minute talking about disasters. But for years now the coast to coast crowd has almost universally discounted any possibility of a disaster of any kind. It will be a change of consciousness, an awakening, etc. So basically something so subtle that they can say it is in the process of still happening for years to come.

I wish to find someone who really believes this. Then, I want to put a decal of a planet on their bedroom window in the middle of the night. I bet it will be very amusing when they wake up.
