If I lived in Abilene TX, I would stay in a bunker too. Plus the gas masks probably help with the feedlot stink.

:dubious: There are no feedlots in Abilene. It smells fine.

Sorry about that.

Boy, I don’t know what the problem was everywhere else. Around here the world ended like nobody’s business. Rivers of blood, plagues, meteors, flying monkeys, zombies in the streets, eternal judgment of sinners, the return of the Great Old Ones; the works. We’re still cleaning up. You guys missed out, big time.

Boy, you guys have _all_ the fun. All we’ve gotten around here today is a bunch of severe thunderstorm warnings. I mean, it’s the day after June 12th, and… and… it’s… June 13th… uh…

Lemme get back to you…
