So, how will you be spending World War III?
Never too soon, apparently, to start making plans.

1. I don't know; but I know how I'll be spending World War IV:
Huddled around a campfire, cold, shivering, starving, lost and in despair.

2. I'll let my mom plan that one; she's already bummed that Y2K
was such a let-down.
I bet she still has a lot of rice in her basement.

3. Depends... Is somebody else attacking us, or did WE start it?
In either case, I might become a nomad.

4. I'm going to stock up on gasoline, keep my car in garage
and make a killing in the assisted suicide market that's sure to pop.

9. No pun intended eh?
;-) Did you see or read Children of Men? I suspect that I would take that way out. I can't picture myself as a soldier and I'm not cut out to be a survivalist. Possibly my asthma would make the assistance not necessary but I do know that I want to go on my own terms and not live in that kind of a world.

5. I have a lot of canned food, and land in the country.
The old movie On the Beach is coming to mind.

6. I've already started dabbling in brewing
so I'd probably go a step further and make a still... see if I can get strong enough alcohal to continue to run engines. :) Could be a valuable commodity once we've been blown back into the stone age.

I'd also try to get ahold of magnets and wire and whatnot so I could try to make my own generators.

12. Better stock up early
I'm sure the liquor aisles will empty faster than the bread ones.

11. yeah hearing about Syria and Israel sparring - not good.
Let's hope and pray it doesn't come to that.

Tom Lehrer songs and Talking Head's Life During Wartime running through my head, now, Proles. :spank: :hi:

No huddling in a bunker waiting for radiation sickness to take me...I want to be vaporized instantly!

15. I've got a nice fat bud put away for a special occaision
and if i don't get croaked right off, then I'll start getting my seeds planted. Then if nobody robs my crop I figure i can barter my way into some form of existance.
