Venturans live in a non-stop daydream. It’s like the town of Stepford — or maybe that they are all on tranquilizers.

I’m not saying Venturans are as dumb as a box of rocks, but...

(Ventura FReepers excluded, of course)

Anyway, check out the peppy song that starts at the 60 second mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NId2BHU6_b0

A Soviet era magazine called Krokodil fielded the same question.

Q: What should we do in case of a nuclear attack?
A: Wrap yourself in a shroud, and walk slowly to the cemetery.
Q: Why slowly?
A: To avoid a panic.

We lived near the largest reserve of helium in the world, placing our town #10 on the Soviet targeting list. Climbing under the desk was laughable.

Hasn’t North Korea already said they would go for an EMP attack? In which case the most important thing for folks in California to have is water... lots and lots of water.

If only those bigots had those signs printed in Korean instead of white privileged English.

My daughter and grandkids live there. My grandson is getting an education on being a good little Marxist at school, but hey, they’ve got the beach.

It also never snows, and any and every kind of plant that you plant there will grow and thrive.

Yes, if you’re going to live in SoCal it’s ok there. I’m originally from NorCal so I like it better up there. I live in Texas now, so I enjoy visiting my daughter in Ventura for awhile to escape the 100+° summer here.

"Does it have anything to do with putting your head between your legs and puckering?"

Yes, it involves doing an old yoga pose (very quickly), called "BOKYAG" (Bend Over, Kiss Your...), as shown here:

       

Or, alternatively, you can instantaneously do a revision of the old "Stop, Drop, and Roll" routine, known as "Flash!, Glow!, and Poof! (disappear)".

I was on a Marine Corps airbase in the south east, it gave the duck and cover drills an extra sense of urgency during the Cuban Missile Crisis...

I was at the Norfolk NOB. I don’t recall any drills, but it seemed like every ship was out of its berth, even ones who’d been there so long they were moored on coffee grounds.

We normally had a Marine guard at the entrance to the Commsta, but during the crisis we had Marines inside the station, too.

We handled the classified traffic between JCS and the picket commander, so knew what was going down in real time. It was exciting.
