Porky Pig, announcing the end.

— Boomsday is the unofficial end of summer. Doomsday is the official end of the world. Both have their advantages. Well, not really. Boomsday is always a fun party. Doomsday will not be so much fun. Anyway, enjoy.

SIGNS IT'S HERE

Booms: Loud noises, fireworks and mayhem.

Dooms: The same as "Boomsday" except add zombies ... and your mama (Oh, no, we didn't!)

HOW MANY WILL ATTEND?

Booms: Hundreds of thousands

Dooms: 6 billion plus

WHAT CAN WE WEAR?

Booms: Cut off jeans and daisy dukes. The ladies can wear those, too.

Dooms: Pretty sure fashion won't be an issue here.

WHAT CAN WE EAT?

Booms: Hot dogs, chips, sodas and cotton candy: the typical East Tennessee diet.

Dooms: Better store up on the eats. I have a feeling Food City will be closed that day.

LAST WEEK: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Our pick: Scott Pilgrim. We aren't a team player.

Your pick: The world wins! The world wins! But with only 75 percent of your vote. (Thanks for voting, Scott.)
