I apologize for laughing at the insanity/absurdity of that.

:D

Kate Curtis: They just got back. God you sound like a crazy person, the Governor says we’re fine now.

Jackson Curtis: That guy is an actor, he’s reading a script! When they tell you not to panic, that’s when you run!

The joke was on the teachers. They walked up and down the halls where the roof would land.

Being newly weds at the time she was irritated. She learned a lot over the last 47 years. If you’re near the blast. It’s BOHICA. If you’re in a big city the same. If you’re country folks, you hunker down and try to manage. I live next to Yellowstone. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

I could freak you out with tales [tails?] of parts I’ve grown back, to the mystification of doctors, after bad injuries, including, but not limited to, a completely sheared off ankle bone and the top of my right hand denuded, down to the bones.

Despite them all, and never having had a stitch in my life, I have no scars, anywhere.

Moments ago, I sliced my finger open on a shard of sharp metal and it’s already closed.

By tomorrow afternoon, it will be healed.

yeah, I know.
creepy

;)

In W.MD, there are places that are not generally known about and I happen to be sitting in the very shadow of two of them.

One is not even a half mile away, as the fallout flies.

I won’t even see the flash.

I haven’t seen that yet.

Zombieland is my favorite zombie flick of all time.

Right on cue Trump is going to get us nuked if “climate change” doesn’t get us later because of Trump.

Ah, the halcyon days of enforced ignorance in the face of imminent annihilation.

I miss them so.

Yellowstone worries me more.

That is a mass extinction event.

LOL. She sounds like a good sport.

I’d say the chicken came first. ( Biblical POV)

Im on the outskirts of Albuquerque so who knows? I’ll hit the ground and see what happens.

I think you’ll like it. They used another Metallica song in the opening scenes. It fit the movie.

Ah I remember it well. Never forget approaching DC by car and noticing all the defence contractors passing by and thinking if the balloon goes up I was passing a lot of ground zeroes.

Yep.

Years ago, my dad tried to build a “fallout shelter” from one of those big fiberglass gas storage tanks people have a horde of around here.

It was 25 feet long and he spent a week digging a hole for it.

He said I’d be glad when the time came and I asked if I could bring my dogs.

He said “No!” and I replied “See you on the other side, then.”

Couple weeks later, after constantly telling me that I would change my mind [to my more constant “Nope”] he relented and said I could bring them.

I watched this thing going on up on the mountain for a month, knowing full well a fiberglass tank buried in dirt was useless without lead, concrete and the like.

So he decided to listen and bought cement.

When he went to cover the tank the weight of the dirt crushed it and that was that.

He figured I’d be upset but I reminded him of The Place right beside us and how everything would be radioactive for a hundred years.

No way I’d want to hunker down with all that crap outside, knowing the second I went outside, I was one of the walking dead.

Better to just go out in a flash and be done with it.

But the Zombie Apocalypse, I am ready for.

For *years* everyone he knew was eating his stockpile of Dinty Moore beef stew.

I think there’s still a dozen cans in my downstairs closet.

:D
