CommunityBuzz! - The Last Do: December 21, 2012

So here I am, suffering with a cold, working from home while highly medicated on a witch's brew of Fexofenadine HCl, Pseudoephedrine HCl and cheap vodka, and I began daydreaming about throwing a party.

Not just any party, mind you, but a MEOTWP! That acronym, I hereby proclaim, shall be pronounced "MEE-oh-twip," which stands for Mayan End-Of-The-World Party, said extravaganza to be held on the day the world will end: Friday, December 21, 2012. And since this is FlyerTalk, we'll make it a Do! The last Do.

Now, some of you fools may scoff at the Mayans' (or is it Mayan's?) doomsday prediction, but anyone with a lick of sense (or a near-empty bottle of vodka) will assure you that those Native Americans are as trustworthy as the day is long on Ceres! Moreover, the Mayans had the forethought to schedule the world's demise conveniently after Hanukkah and before Christmas. Perfect time! Perfect end. All we need now is a perfect place.

My palatial estate here in the RNE Compound in tony West Akron would be a perfect venue for this last of all FlyerTalk Do's, but modesty forbids me to suggest it. Therefore I hereby open for discussion the perfect place to party like there's no tomorrow—since, of course, there won't be a tomorrow.

Where should the MEOTWP DO be held?

RNE, Grand Marshal

Given the whole Mayan thing, I'd suggest Cancun or somewhere else that is plausibly near the Ruta Maya.

That said my brother (who is Satan) has his birthday on Dec 21 & he has assured me the world is not ending as he intends to have many more birthdays.

Satan will be around; we won't be. ;)

Among the 40+ countries I have visited, Mexico and Belize are included, but not the Land Of Eternal Spring, as Guatemala is known. "Eternal" is so apropos for the world's ending, don't you think?

There are Tikal or Quirigua as possibilities. Hmmm?

Yes, Guatemala may be the ticket. And speaking of tickets, COdbaUA flies there from IAH and EWR. That's convenient. And, remember, you only have to afford a one-way ticket. ;)

It has to be Babylon doesn't it? They got burnt off the face of the earth and all.
