Yet again, some idiot is claiming that a 'hidden planet' called Nibiru is going to crash into Earth today, killing us all. Meh, we've seen these idiots claim that the world is going to end time-and-time again. Nibiru, my ass... if a friggin' planet were on a collision course with Earth, it would be visible to the naked eye by now.
At any rate, this is a shitty day for an apocalypse, because it's the day of the local street festival, and I plan on going on a twelve-hour bender. October is a hell of a month on the job, so I figured I'd binge on craic (this elicited a hearty laugh from a co-worker of mine) before going on a long slog. The festival is always fun, and I only need to crawl two blocks to get home.
The beauty of the neighborhood is that it has its own theme song by a bunch of great local guys, a song which perfectly captures the spirit of the community:
There's no need to worry about the end of the world when there is an endless supply of beer.
Just another episode of 'when you refuse to understand science, the universe is a scary place'....

Drawing on the same traditions as Hedningarda.
It doesn't much help when you *do* understand science, mikey, and you realise that not all the universe is a scary place, just the wee corner of it that's full of human beings.
