i am posting this from a nuclear fallout shelter that i have built at an undisclosed location, well below the surface of the earth. i have stockpiled 20 years of food and water, as well as guns and ammunition. i have also kidnapped three healthy females of breeding age, in the event that it becomes my responsibility to repopulate the earth. we all know what we are facing over the next couple of days, and i don't have to tell you that the prognosis is grim. it appears that we will be confronted with an environmental disaster, the scope of which hasn't been seen since an asteroid struck the earth millions of years ago and killed all the dinosaurs. imagine that times 1000. there will be temperatures possibly even below 30 degrees, and that we might very well see the eradication of every species on this planet. i come to you today, not as a longhorn, or a texan, or even as an american, but as a human being (i.e., representing everyone but people from oklahoma). i know that most of us won't live out the week. for those, if any, who do survive this disaster, i will contact you on a frequency that i designate on this website, so that we may make plans to rebuild our society. this is the people's elbow, coming to you in what may be my last communication, from severe weather disaster bunker x362-uk1, wishing you all good luck. hook 'em
I'm going to tough it out above ground with a stockpile of beer, canned fish, and a bunch of old Redbooks.
I've got leftover chili to last 'til Tuesday and enough wine for two fortnights. I'm a survivor I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it I will survive Keep on survivin'
Post of the day ... at least up until 0926. Good luck and godspeed, TPE. We'll see you on the other side.
I am currently holed up here in the 78759 with a dozen ( minus few) Krispy Kreme Donuts, A handle of Glenlevit and three movies that I picked up on Saturday. There's a little leftover chili, but supplies are dwindling. If this ends up being my final post, someone come recover the remaining scotch and put it to good use.
Excellent post... and it accurately represents the news coverage out here today. My favorite has been all the city council and mayor's office hype (all day news conferences) on the public access station. I have plenty of booze here... and am working from home today, and probably tomorrow as well, even though my office is only 3 miles from home... although for some reason I'll probably treat drinking the booze as my primary job.
I'm not as hearty as you, TPE. I just don't think I can live in the post-Apocalyptic world that will emerge tomorrow when the temperature gets above 32. So I have migrated to my office downtown to face my final hours with a quiet dignity--at my station to the very last, billing my clients (and likely continuing to bill them for at least twenty hours after my death) while the frigid 8 knot north wind wipes the last vestiges of human civilization off this God-foresaken prairiescape. God Speed, TPE, for I feel the mildly chilly grasp of death upon me . . . .
TPE, you should make a movie about your experience. I already thought up a title and drew up a poster for it. I'm assuming Michael Bay will be directing:
Power just went out for ~5 minutes here... I guess I'm on the same grid as KXAN b/c theres did too...
