Infamous con man who obtained 100m in assets from scamming anyone foolish enough to believe him by claiming the rapture was near.
Harold Camping: The world is going to end tomorrow on May 21st.
Guy: Just like you said it was gonna end in 1994?
Harold Camping: No, that was a miscalculation.
The next day...
Guy: What do you have to say now?
Harold Camping: It was a spiritual awakeness rapture the real one is in October.
Guy: You slimy bastard.

Old 89-yr old dumb cunt who predicted that the world was gonna end May 21st of 2011, who had gay ass followers who suck his old ancient cock and swallowed their disappointment of the world not ending

A grumpy old man who has a talk show on the radio. He has predicted the Rapture--Judgement Day--at least 3 times, most recently on May 21st, and each time has been quite a let-down. His most recent reason was "because of the gays".
His "rapture" predictions are often preceded by a large-scale campaign to advertise the date with posters that say things such as "Save the Date! Judgement Day, May 21st: The Bible Guarantees It!"
Reasonable Christians often ask in response to these predictions, "if God's word is not to be interpreted by humans, then aren't all these predictions rather blasphemic?"
Reasonable people who may or may not be Christian often ask "why would anyone even believe this in the first place? He just picked an arbitrary date, there's no scientific proof at all. I see no reason to freak out."
Some people freak out anyway, because they're either idiots or they're hipsters and they're doing it ironically.

Guy 1: Dude are you coming to my barbecue tomorrow?
Guy 2: Why are you having a barbecue?
Guy 1: To celebrate Harold Camping's most recent failure to predict the end of the world.
Guy 2: Oh yeah sure, i'll come. Will there be beer?
Guy 1: Of course man, otherwise it wouldn't be a not-the-end-of-the-world barbecue.

1. A false prophet who predicted that the Rapture would occur on May 21, 2011. 2. Someone who believes numerology can be used in mathematical proofs.
1. Harold Camping falsely predicted the date of the Rapture several other times, prior to the May 11th instance. 1994 is the most frequently cited example, but there are others. 2. Harold Camping's "evidence" consisted of two numerological ramblings, which he called mathematical demonstrations.

Harold Camping is when you are going camping, have everything planned and purchased, and your car gassed up. Only, you never actually go.
My parents told me we were going camping and I was so pumped. Too bad what they really meant was "Harold Camping!" We just sat in the car for a while and then went back inside. Lame!

To claim something is going to happen, then when it doesn't happen, just change the date and watch it not happen again. Named after the radio preacher who predicted the world would end on May 21, 2011 only to change it to October 21 later. Naturally nothing happened either time.
Guy 1: Okay I know I was wrong about zombies rising from their graves last night, so I went back to the rock where I first saw the prediction and realized it said May 16 not Mar. 16.
Guy 2: Dude just stop it. Do you know how badly you're Harold Camping right now?
