I just talked to a friend of mine, who said that since the September 11th attacks she’s been stocking up on canned goods and learning as much as she can about hunting, fishing and camping. She’s all prepared for the next attack. I haven’t done anything. So, is she simply being paranoid or am I not taking this seriously enoough ?
I seem to recall people going positively apeshit on December 31, 1999. Candles, non-perishibles flying off the shelves.
Me? I filled my gas tank. shrug It was running low anyway.
Kind of sounds like Y2K all over again. People were pretty paranoid about that and did similiar things. People cope in different ways. If she wants to stock up on shit and study different things, let her. I, personally, don’t think she’s going to actually have to use her newly acquired skills but that’s just me. I’m not the paranoid panicky type.
You haven’t even started work on a bomb shelter yet? C’mon, get with the program! You also need to: learn how to use old sweat socks as lethal weapons, figure out how to disable a nuclear bomb, you should be saving ALL belly button lint (even other people’s) in case we run out of fabric and you need to knit a sweater or something. It would also be a good idea to learn how to navigate by the stars and you should learn the names of all the capitals of the fifty states (so you can prove you ain’t a commie). And of course most importantly you should go and watch every single episode of Mcguyver, in order, in slow mo, so you can learn important things like how to stop a reactor leak with candy bars. That Mcguyver, he’s a crafty one.
Tell your friend to get a grip.
MY GOD MAN! How man times do you change your name!?!?!?! I’m begining to think you have a disorder 
I’m not paranoid and if I were I still wouldn’t do anything. My laziness WAY outweighs any other emotion I may feel.
I just picked up a souped-up dune buggy and some spiked football pads. You can’t have a good apocalypse without either. And some flaming barrels, going to need some of those too. Then I plan on cruising the desert looking for fuel, which will enable me to continue cruising the desert looking for fuel. It’s a vicious circle, really.
Thanks for the tip!
Heh, this was by popular request. At dopetoberfest, I got ragged about it non-stop. And, in my appreciation thread, there was even a campaign started to get me to switch back.
I’m gonna stay with this one forever.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress.

No. It’s only you and your friend that are paranoid. And the rest of us are always laughing behind your back about it.
