That scene was freaky SICK!! AND Awesome!!! | ||
| Whatever |
I know I hate creepy shit, but Hannibal is my favorite freak... I own Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, gotta go find Red Dragon. I think the first time I saw that it made my skin crawl... now it is just so cool... especially considering what a prick the detective was that Liotta played... ok now back to our regular programming...  | ||

Dozens of "after the fall" stories have been written. "The Last Centurions" by John Ringo has a 2012 or so plague and climate shift apocalypse, "Farnhams Freehold" by R.A. Heinlein is prototypical 50's Nuclear Apocalypse, "Dies the Fire" by S.M.Stirling.. Fantasy, but well written. Magic apocalypse. A bunch of "Twilight Zones" on that theme, plus 3D Insect Fear Films, etc. War, plague, hurricane, flood, tornado, volcano, Fire, Frost, or asteroid strike, all of which are certain as the sunrise, somewhere, sometime. Disaster happens. So in the event of a Disaster have a few weeks water, a camp stove and food. You usually just have to hold out a while. Figure on America still being here. Things may get screwed up. A lot. FEMA may take weeks to respond, if transport is out because of EMP pulse, Winter, or Volcano, bird flu decimates the population. etc.etc. BUT. civilization should continue. So rational precautions are wise. Now if civilization falls, you get another range of choices. Most of them sucky. Now a Zombie Apocalypse is nice, no moral ambiguities, good or evil, or problems with taxes or Speeding tickets. | ||

I think we are due for a good old fashioned "dark ages". | ||

I used to work at Bristol Rennisance Fair, ..........when it used to be King Richards Fair. Do I get experience points if we DO have a "dark ages"? Can I bring my old aluminum battle axe?!  How bout the tights?................."mmmmmm, Ill go green and red striped tights today..................HONEY, where's by battle axe?" On a serious note. For me, it would be like fancy camping, except ya gotta get your own food. That adds to the fun. "Thine rifle and thine bows and arraws be very near me this day. Prairee vahmint aneewan?"

I would have to deal with it as it plays out but I did some work to a truck dock at a local warehouse owned by the Morman Church once. If the situation was one of starvation, they have mucho food there. I would respectfully ask them for some food first. | ||

You know what is totally cool about this scenario? NO MORE LITE BEER!! Society wins! | ||

You can make a fermenting tank out of your neighbor's swimming pool filter tank. Because YOU have guns, he gives it up. You start brewing and in a couple months, invite their whole family over for an open pit BBQ and a few brewskis. PRESTO - the universe is in balance and NO LITE BEER. All is good. | ||

I read Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as a kid. I did not mean to imply that Char would be the main course. Only that I agreed with the cannibalism. If however/Whatever passed away at dinner one could reasonably surmise the main course at the next meal. The only problem with the first meals would be the excessive salt in the meat. Once we go down this slippery slope, how long will it be before someone wants fresh meat? I do see the need for a good compound bow and extra arrows in my collection. I have started looking and there is some fascinating stuff out there now days. I want to go somewhere that has wild boars and collard greens. | ||

Bows, guns, fishing poles, spear guns, snares, crops, etc. They are all tools that would be necessary when stuff is flying off the fan. It's good to be familiar with a variety of tools. It's like the mechanic that only knows how to use a hammer. I really don't want him working on my stuff. Oddly most of the crisis scenarios that I've ever envisioned have us getting away from the big cities ASAP and getting to our place in the country. It's just hard to imagine a crisis where I would want to be near the masses in the city. | ||
| Daves |
Ourdee, I can help with that  | ||
| Milt |
If you're into cannibalism, Ourdee, why not hunt wild boors? They are readily available and not too smart. | ||
| Whatever |
I would eat the Mormons first... with some mayo and ketchup... yummm yummm...  The pedophiles would be next, then I might move on to dogs and cats... | ||
| Sifo |
I'd eat liberals! They are abundant, unarmed and known to breed rapidly so they can be a sustainable food source. | ||
| Whatever |
Good for you... maybe start with the friggn hippies or the Rainbow people... I hate G#damn patchouli... they also would not put up much of a fight... | ||
| Sifo |
I was thinking Michale Moore. He has been spotted in the area of my emergency location and would feed our family for months. He offered to give my nephew an autograph once out on the street. My nephew refused it. Damn funny story to hear the whole thing. | ||
| Whatever |
I don't think human blubber would be all that tasty...  Time to go! LIFE is calling me today... | ||
| Cityxslicker |
Well at least 'reality' TV would be off the air. | ||
| Sifo |
Just like bacon and there are many uses for the extra lard.  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I don't think human blubber would be all that tasty... People Rinds! Never underestimate the ability for a southern person to make the inedible edible through deep fat frying. | ||
| Cityxslicker |
and for the cannibal strain undercurrent in the thread | ||

All I need is a baseball bat, a sharp knife, some Dale's sauce, and a food dehydrator. Pets first. Vegetarians next. | ||

Where will you go when the lights go out? Back home, all I would ever need is there. |
