You’d shoot yourself in the balls?
Only if I see myself shooting anyone, which means, barring an out-of-body experience, I’m probably good for the world’s last hour and a half.
Bush-bashing? An hysterical president goes on the air, makes a statement that makes no sense whatsoever(something that large is that close to hitting the Earth and no astronomers were able to find out months before?), then blows his own brains out? I’d want verification, too. Me, I’m in the “Wake up from a silly dream” camp-you couldn’t make this scenario any sillier if you threw in the Daleks and the USS Enterprise.
Wait for Will Smith to come and save the day, of course.
Apparently Michael Brown was reassigned to Head the National Science Council in this scenario.
Yup. Noww, I would take it upon myself to do something usefull. What if aliens vaporize the [del]meteor[/del] planet at the last minute? 
I don’t want Cheney to ber the prez., should the earth survive.
Thus, it would be a 90 minute Cheney hunt, and/or everyone else down the chain of succession, till we find someone I feel would be a good President. Postmaster general/President, anyone?
If something that big “suddenly” showed up without being seen long, long ago by astronomers, the only possible answer would be the event had to have been triggered by some sort of ultra-powerful aliens. So I’d hijack a TV station and desperately plead for planet’s continued survival.
Or just sit at home and drink every last bit of alcohol while cruising porn sites and charging so much the credit card starts to melt.
I just wanted to point out that the Bush scenario seems to be one that people would like to see happen. I suspect that he would be unapologetic and reinforce his stance as doing what is right and just for the country. Then he would look smugly at the camera with his condescending smirk and start to proselytize…for the next 60 minutes.
Me? I’d be listening to music and spending my last minutes with my family. Actually, there’s a good possiblilty I’d be cooking something (probably not a slow-cooked roast).
I’m screwed if I find out while I’m at work…there’s no way I’d get home in time. I guess I’d busy myself surfing across the 'net and giving updates to my wife. Actually, she’d probably load the kids in the car and try to get here.
If I happened to be in my home town of Toronto, I would find as many Torontonians as possible who hadn’t already heard the news and I would tell them this popular Toronto joke:
Scientists discover that a huge celestial body is going to destroy the earth in a few hours, and the Toronto daily newspapers publish the following headlines:
Toronto Star: Earth to End Today – Women and Children Unfairly Targeted
Toronto Sun: GOD TO EARTH – YOU’RE OUTA HERE!!
Globe & Mail/National Post: Earth to be Destroyed Today, Markets to Close Early.
Then I would wait around until they heard the news about the earth being doomed. I’d love to see the confused look on their faces as they wondered “Hey, what the fuck was up with Jibby Jabbish shitting me at a time like this?”
(Yes, yes, I know that joke is told in every city, so we can all pull the same stunt.)
While I’d much rather spend that time with my wife, if this happened during a work day, we’re too far apart to have any shot of meeting up. Therefore, I think I’d also vote for a little vigilante justice.
With no offense to SHAKES (I know the comment was in jest, I think :dubious: ), the idea of preventing someone else from spending their last moments however they choose is heinous to me, and I’d take great pleasure in giving those folks their just deserts.
Although I’d probably laugh at Bush’s signoff first.
Beat up Sephiroth and pray for Holy.
Duh.
Typical lawyer. You just assumed right off the bat you wouldn’t be at home to begin with. 
I plan to cover myself from head to toe in that material they use for black boxes on airplanes.
Also, at the last moment before impact, I’ll jump.
Good plan, but don’t forget the bubble wrap and tinfoil.
Every segment of the sky isn’t being watched regularly, so it might be more sudden than one might expect.
Meanwhile, the Republicans would all be blaming Clinton.
Yeah, but an object the size of Jupiter would be easily visible to the naked eye for a long time before it got close to Earth. Its gravitational influence on the other planets would be rather obvious as well.
We don’t watch every segment of the sky regularly, but what we’re worried about missing is an asteroid or comet in the 1-10 kilometer range in diameter, not something the size of Jupiter.
Well as there is no such thing as meteor the size of Jupiter, I assumed the OP was having Bush give into Hyperbole.
I would find all the Cub fans I could and laugh my ass off at them because the world’s going to end without them winning a frigging World Series!
Wow, in theory, would this meteor strike as the Cubs built up a large 4th inning lead in game 7 of the World Series. That would then make perfect sense.
