And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In general, when an apocalyptic cult's deadline comes and goes without an apocalypse, the line changes from "we're getting raptured, hooray!" to "God/aliens/a comet saved us at the last minute, hoooray!" and the fervor only increases.

Very rarely does anyone step back and say "Boy did we get THAT wrong! Time to re-enter society!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So it's not quite the end of the world, May 21, just the Rapture? So if they're still here on May 22...? I find the whole thing very creepy. Please don't tell me they plan on taking matters into their own hands.

And to back up Jessica:

Camping himself, has had to do some recalculation. He first predicted the end would come Sept. 6, 1994. He now explains that he had not completed his biblical research.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, I forgot about this. I have dated three women with the same birthday (June 19), and one whose birthday was nearby (June 16). And my college roommate's birthday was June 19 also. Freaky!

My birthday is June 19! And my Aunt Dean's is June 16.

Compassionately intolerant

Please don't tell me they plan on taking matters into their own hands.

I'm fair certain, DIY Rapture: the home game will come into play. I just hope nobody of that ilk likes me enough to want to save me.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

My mom actually said "Again?" So if you ever wonder where I get it...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, the idiocy of this Trump quote is just mind-boggling:

TRUMP: Well, you know, when it comes to racism and racists, I am the least racist person there is. And I think most people who know me would tell you that. I am the least racist, I’ve had great relationships. In fact, Randal Pinkett won, as you know, on The Apprentice a little while ago, a couple of years ago. And Randall’s been outstanding in every way. So I am the least racist person.

Seth Meyers' line about that at the White House Correspondants Dinner was great:

Trump says he has a great relationship with the blacks. But unless the Blacks are a family of white people, I bet he's mistaken.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I really like the one with Zombie Charlemagne . At the very least, it should be a made-for-tv movie.
