I was a technology consultant for the end of times. Now I have to replay Doomsday all over again, except it&#8217;s not until 12\/21\/12. Notice all the 1&#8217;s and 2&#8217;s? Well, that&#8217;s the doom of your time. But I read today in USA Today, about all those that are prepping for this year&#8217;s Doomsday and how they have a reality show for it. Huh? If it really is Doomsday, doesn&#8217;t that mean end of times for everyone? So I am now preparing for Doomsday II too. Just buy all my products and self-help DIYDD books (Do It Yourself DoomsDay.) Snappy acronym isn&#8217;t it? You won&#8217;t need your money, you young preppies so you have no worries. I even have Doomsday for Dummies, Dumb Doomsday Zombies, and Vexed Doomsday Vampires &#8211; all sure to be best-sellers.<\/p>\n<p>But since the Mayans are no longer around, hasn&#8217;t doomsday already taken place? They left great resort cities behind so that we, the survivors, can enjoy fun in the sun and some relaxing Agave nectar. I bet those same Mayans also wrote best-selling books and products and laughed all the way to the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Even if doomsday is coming, can someone please just extend it, like a tax return? The Hobbit, Part I is set to release just prior to the end of the world. Can it be extended to, say, April 14th, 2014? That way I can see The Hobbit, Part II as well, enjoy three more New Year&#8217;s Eve parties AND avoid filing a tax return on April 15th. Then just let the extension end, or renew it; Congress knows this act.<\/p>\n<p>As for a reality show, maybe Comedy Central should pick up Season II &#8211; Surviving Doomsday. I only wish the Monty Python group was still young enough to take on this topic. I can just see John Cleese as a professor talking about the Mayan calendar on April 15th, 2012 and then comes in Eric Idle with an Inca calendar that ends on 4\/14\/14. Then, Michael Palin arrives with his Aztec calendar that ended on 12\/31\/99. All three of them will be arguing over the end of the world. Finally, they realize the Aztec calendar had already passed, and follow me now, Cleese sounds off:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re a fraud! If 12\/31\/99 was Doomsday you wouldn&#8217;t be standing here!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Palin retorts, &#8220;I got better! It was only a flesh wound!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh let&#8217;s not go to 2012 Doomsday, it is such a silly date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was part of the first Doomsday back on 12\/31\/99 with the snappy acronym of Y2K.
