OK, so today is June 6th. Or, 6/6.
My question is... will all the religious fundies be freaking out next year on this date? Because we all know that they're always looking for the next big thing to make a huge deal out of...
So folks, make your predictions here. What's gonna happen?
Me? I think that they'll all take the day off from work to stay home with their windows closed and their doors locked. Well, until it's time to go to church. And the churches will be packed.
As for what I'll be doing on this date next year? Well, it'll be Tuesday, so I'll probably just watch
Scrubs.

I predict that they'll change the Scrubs night from Tuesday to Thursday.

Wow! That crossed my mind today too - I wonder what they'll do on July 7th 2007?

I think that if all the religious nuts take the day off to hide out, the rest of us should take the day off to have a good strong drink and relax...and watch Scrubs.

I'd expect to see a lot of talking about the rapture in the days before it. I guess the government would have to hurry up with their mark-o-the-beast plans in order to make it in time to spur the proper Revelations-story happenings.
07/07/07 should be spent in Las Vegas playing slots, natch.
From what I understand, the number 8 is a highly lucky number in several of th Asia-Pacific countries, so I'm sure 08/08/08 will be a huge deal in regard to celebrations.
etc...

Well, actually nobody will do anything. Recently, they discovered that 666 isn't the number of the beast after all. In fact it's
616. So everyone can now freak out on June 16th... every year! Or we will have to wait until the year 2016 and see what happens then. Unless the Mayan prophecy holds true in 2012, then there will be no one here to give a shit.

Well next year on 06/06/06 I'll be turning 30! I was born 6/6/76 at 6:00 am and weighed 6 lbs 6 oz. But I'm a Gemini so I'm a devil AND an angel.

Hmm.
Why didn't you post about this last month on the 5th, when it was 5/5/05? I think that'd be a neat day to have a baby - wouldn't that be a cool birthday to have? A friend of mine had a baby on 9/9/99 and I always thought that was cool.

burning garlic in the corners...hauling out the statues and crucifixes and basically slaughtering lambs in effigy

Maybe the little freaks will burst into flames, and finally get off of my back about being queer.

In my ideal world, religious extremists will go all Heaven's Gate. That will solve all our problems...or at least many of them.
Of course, Biblical scholars recently discovered that '616' is the number of evil, not '666'. But that would mean religious extremists would have to believe the research and make an effort to read up on current events. We all know they don't do either.

Shhh!

Can you imagine all the pregnant fundies who will go into labor that day? Talk about mark of the beast and whatnot. We'll see a million pregnant chicks all trying to hold 'em in until after midnight.

Well, since it was Alistair Crowley's lucky number, perhaps he will make an appearance somewhere as an apparition?

Depends upon the interpretation they are using. I've seen some interpretation of the Armenian version of the Bible that said the number was 616. All the movies are going with the Greek interpretation that uses 666. While I consider myself religious, I think anyone who takes one single number and tries to make an apocalyptic statement about that number is simply wacko. Like God and/or Satan have a schedule to keep? Right.... Schedules are only for us mortals because we some day WILL run out of time.
