Nah, we’ve got plans to run out on the front porch on December 22nd, and yell out, “NEENER! NEENER! NEENER!” ~VOW ---

I’m not hoarding anything, and nothing that I have stocked in my house is due to any sort of “apocalypse” or “impending collapse of civilization” or any of those wingnut ideas. I do have extra food and water supplies, maybe 2 weeks’ worth, in the event of some kind of disaster (see: Katrina, Sandy, etc.), but nothing specific. The hoopla over the 21st is caused by idiots who can’t comprehend that maybe after mapping out their calendar 5000 years into the future, maybe a guy (from a civilization that neither figured out the wheel nor predicted the arrival of the Spanish) might get tired of carving. ---

I’ve got far too much useless crap stored in my spare bedroom, but none of it’s for the 21st. It’s my brother’s birthday, but I already gave him his present. ---

I was hoarding maple syrup. But I got caught. ---

My partner will be out of town then, so I’ll be hoarding my semen (unless I get bored). ---

Can I just use all the stuff I was hoarding for 1/1/2000? ETA: Oops, looks like **panache45** already suggested that. ---

Looking at my closet it appears that I’m hoarding shoes and handbags. ---

I’m hoarding smug and gloatatiousness, but only because I have several teabaggers in my family tree. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hoarding-for-12-21-12/644318.md?page=1)
