Judgement Day is apparently right around the corner – this weekend to be exact.
According to the billboard near the South Bay Mall heading into Southie, “Cry Mightily Unto God! Judgment Day is Coming on May 21! The Bible Guarantees It!”
We must have missed the prior memos because it came to us as quite a shock. 89 year old Harold Camping a Christian radio broadcaster and president of Family Radio – a California-based religious broadcasting network – and his followers believe that the Rapture will go down on May 21st, 2011 and that God will then completely destroy the Earth and the universe 5 months later on October 21st. So in other words, Jesus Christ is coming back and he is not too please with us sinners to say the least.
But we are wondering, is it too late to repent? Or is the damage done? In that case, if the end of the world is indeed going to happen, we say live it up!
Here are a list of things we here at Caught in Southie want to do in Southie before May 21st:
- have a drink at every bar in Southie – including the scary ones and the even scarier ones
- make it around the Island twice when running
- eat at Ethel and Andy’s for the first time ever
- play one more game of Relievio with the old gang
- make-out with cute guy that lives around the corner
- Enjoy another Southie Day down at Farragut Park

- eat one more cake from Argus’ Bakery (gold cake w/ chocolate frosting and jimmies)
