No problem for me.  I've got it all figured out.  When the Aztec Calendar expires in 2012, I'm switching to the Playboy Calendar.

Since it's suppose to happen just before Christmas, should I even bother writing a letter to Santa or leaving a copy of the list for my wife (never understood why she needs a copyConfused)?

Even more imporant: Will the IOC have it coordinated and choreographed with the extinguishing of the Oympic torch?

If you think about it, if the world explodes into micro-particles and we are floating in the vacuum of space, it might be a little difficult to glue an air horn on a GP7. I could be wrong. Some of you are pretty resourceful.

But zero gravity air horn application should be a different thread. In fact, the whole topic of zero gravity anaerobic model railroading opens up a lot of good discussion topics.

Of course, if the world were to explode it would be 10 years before Western Pennsylvania hears about it.  I have 12 years good left before I have to think about it.

Good luck to the rest of you.
