Disasters.

[Mr. Blonde]

Do any of you ever wish a giant disaster would affect your given geographic region? I do, all the time. I was in my room last night and my roommate was watching TV, and I heard the emergency broadcast come on, and I rushed out only to fine out it was a test . Am I wrong in this? Does anyone else want to take the chance of hundreds or thousands dying just so they can get a chance for some excitement? I just want a random tornado, or an earthquake...maybe a terrorist attack, or best case scenarios, zombie infestation or alien invasion. That would be awesome.

[Repugnant Abomination]

You're a bad person.

[Ugly Bastard]

I can relate to this some. I remember being excited when I heard Ike was coming straight at Houston. But the experience pretty humbling. After going through it, I don't want to do it again.

Don't do a google image search for uranium poisoning.

[vaga1220 *]

Not uranium poisoning but I'm sure you wish you hadn't seen it.

ps. WTF is she smiling at?

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

I can relate to an extent. I love storms and floods. I absolutely love seeing rivers overflow and floating with tons of debris. Don't get to see that too often out here in the desert unfortunately.

I want to go storm chasing sometime and finally see a big tornado destroying shit in person.

[f3lix]

I used to think this, but after all the regulation that occurs as a result, I want nothing bad to happen.

[Mr. Mistoffelees]

I think it would be awesome to have everything crumble down and heroically wondering around looking for safety. Maybe start a band of freedom fighters and ambush enemies with homemade weapons and devices.

It would be cool for a bit until I got hungry.

[Pliedes]

I've been waiting for the apocalypse for a long time now...

Zombies running rampant? Dwindling food supply? Dinosaur meteor en route?

I'm ready. Seriously. My brother and I used to write "contingency plans" just for fun. In another thread Repug talks about how "the few control the many" and how "that shit is wack". I agree, that shit is wack. But you know what about be awesome???- if some apocalyptic event leveled the playing field.

Think about it for a second. Who cares if you have $200,000 in IRA's- I can grow my own food. Who cares if you graduated from Harvard- I've got a gun.

Rich and poor disappear. We're back to capacity for change and ability to survive. I like my chances, how about you?

I'm still getting over the last natural disaster to hit england.
It's epicenter was like 3 miles from me, and memories of that night still haunt me.

Look at that pile of bricks.
In case you didn't notice that is a wrecked pile of bricks.

[Mr. Mistoffelees]

youll be looking at animals and thinking their acting weird for the rest of you life

[Cocktooth]

I love disasters. From natural to man made, the pretty much excite me. Terrorism isn't what I'm looking for, but a Cat 5 Hurricane over New Orleans, give me plenty of excitement. BDH and I have been exchanging calls and text for super cells in this area. We ended up with ZERO supercells in light this year. Once we get a bow echo around our parts, BDH and myself will be storm chasing. Disasters are great, as long as I'm not in the middle! That's why I will stay here!

I am all for a zombie apocalypse. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to roam the back roads of Indiana killing stray zombies and pillaging old farm houses for loot to take back to my zombie-proofed headquarters.

You seem to be on the same page as me! I'm all for this shit, let it come.

The most important part of surviving any apocalyptic scenario is based on one simple function- reaction time x intensity. (faux-equation...let me explain). Meaning those who react with intensity near the beginning, will be in a much better situation than those who wait to act appropriately. If you wait until the middle of the disaster to get desperate-- well you're gonna be stuck begging to those who were smart enough to take charge. If you try to "maintain your sense of humanity" then you will exit the ranks of humanity- chopped down by some fucker who knew what he had to do.

It plays out like this.

Rumor of zombies are spreading across the east coast. This is day one- rumor. Day two is disbelief. Day three is confusion. Finally by day four people finally start to panic and go crazy. All the while, starting on day one, DD and I were out systematically robbing gun shops, emptying walmarts, hijacking semi's and fuel trucks, and assembling a caravan of soldiers and supplies for the great migration northward.

By day three when the simians are finally starting to stampede, we'll be halfway to Canada, picking up hot bitches along the way who'll put out for food. We'll use our massive stockpiles to last out the winter while the zombies kill everyone else. By springtime the zombies will have died off, and we return triumphant, with our own army and a blank slate to start from.

I have a bug-out bag for such a scenario, I just need to buy a shotgun.

Agreed! A new triumvirate.

Now we'll need a giant Golden Sexbear for the people to worship....

Don't act like Chicago is yours for the taking. I like to think up zombie contingency plans of what I would do if shit went down when I was at my house, at work, or wherever. If you like that sort of thing, check out World War Z. It was written by the Max Brooks who also wrote the Zombie Survival Guide. The wikipedia article for World War Z says, "It has been praised by critics and the audiobook version, complete with an all-star cast, won the 2007 Audie Award."

[Ironic Mustache]

I have the most guns but I can't very well shoot them all the same time. If the shit goes down zombie style, I'll need volunteers to help me secure California. Who's in?

(For the record, I have about fitty guns, and I love all of them the same.)

[Mr. Blonde]

If it goes down, i'm going to California to meet up with IM and we are going to head up the coast, fortifying our vehicle/abandoning the one we have for better ones and stocking up the entire way up. God, I would love for a zombie apocalypse so much.
