Outside?

In Toronto?

In February?

With nothing on your feet?

Jebus, you’re lucky they didn’t fall off with frostbite.

Why is duct-tape always mentioned in articles about this kinda thing? What do people plan on using it for?

There is one big bridge to the South, so one well placed bomb wipes out that escape route. Everyone will be headed North, so I ain’t gonna go. I’m opposed to the North anyway because its all filled up with Yankees. I’ve got my duct tape and my bottled water. I’ve got plenty of food, a Coleman gas powered camp stove, a couple of Coleman lanterns, several flashlights, a ton of spare batteries, four or five radios and a machete. You know, all the usual camping gear. But I ain’t gonna panic and I ain’t gonna worry none a’tall cause I don’t believe no shits gonna happen. And I ain’t hanging no damn plastic around my doors and windows. I ain’t skeered of no damn terrists but GWB frightens the living hell out of me. \*\*

Ever thought about a “boat”? Say, an inflatable one? & maybe a cheap electric trawling motor?

**Bippy** , I have_always_ thought of you as a panicky, cowardly fuck with a perverse love of sheet plastic & duct tape.  
Years ago I said, " **Bosda** , isn’t **Bippy** a panicky, cowardly fuck with a perverse love of sheet plastic & duct tape?"

And I answered “Yes! **Bippy** is a panicky, cowardly fuck with a perverse love of sheet plastic & duct tape!”

Are you saying those of us who love sheet plastic and duct tape are perverts? Fuck off, you intolerant fascist! Those little guys have given me more love and affection than any human. Is that so wrong? To love the ones who love you? Who are you to judge me and my lifestyle?

An inflatable boat small enough to be powered by an electric trolling motor wouldn’t last a minute—the rich guys in their sport fishermen would run me down like I didn’t exist.
