This past Saturday we threw my aunt a birthday party at my Mom and Dad's house. Some of our friends who also live in that neighborhood were at the party as well. Saturday being Harold Camping's proposed rapture day it was obviously the topic of a lot of our discussions. However the one discussion we had that I wanted to share was "Going Rapture on Your Neighbors".
In this idea what we would do is get the the whole neighborhood together, aside from one family that we would designate "it" and plan out our rapture. We decided a night rapture would be the easiest to pull off, that way we could set our props in the cover of night. On the designated "rapture night" we would set out clothing in a "someone-got-body-snatched" sort of pile here and there. Maybe park a truck up against a telephone pole and leave it running with the lights on and radio playing, making sure to fasten the lifeless clothes in with the seatbelt. Then really all that is left to do is sit inside and hide the rest of the day, don't answer your door or telephone, just sit and watch your neighbors start to freak out. There was some talk of blaring a fanfare of trumpets through some loudspeakers and renting some of those big light towers, the ones you see road crews using, to shine at the house to get the full effect, but that might be overkill... I would however suggest that if you were to try this that you video it. While the scenario is extremely mean and wrong on many levels, I almost guarantee YouTube success!
I'm not sure yet how we can fake the neighbors with Harold's new thesis of a giant fireball destroying earth. At least not without some serious collateral damage. Any ideas?
