That’s great it starts with an earthquake
Or Is Lenny Bruce not afraid?
Have you noticed it’s kinda end of the worldy out there lately? Let’s sum up:
Supervolcanos might kill us all.
We have pirates.
I haven’t checked but there’s probably some object in space headed toward us with a one in some big number chance of hitting us (there always is, look it up).
A war in Israel.
A potential war between nuclear powers Pakistan and India. And much like giant space objects, there’s always a one in some big number chance of that happening.
The press reports that economically ZOMFG we’re all gonna die.
Big business in the toilet. Staples of our economy going tits up.
Bailouts in which our leaders think they can print money and get us out of it.
Some Russian is predicting the collapse of the USA from civil war. For the record, no way Tennessee is going with the European Union. We’re going with Texas or else there would be an intrastate civil war.
Out going president who, depending on who you talk to, is the savior of the free world or the anti-Christ.
Incoming president who, depending on who you talk to, is the savior of the free world or the anti-Christ.
I’m sure there’s more I’m leaving out. But the times, they are interesting. I mean, I don’t see like full fledged end of the world happening. But we’ve been on edge over less.
At least everyone seems pretty calm about all of it. Probably because everyone is buying guns.

Guns, we need BIGGER guns. . . .

“I mean, I don’t see like full fledged end of the world happening. But we’ve been on edge over less.”
Just wait till we get to 2012. 🙂

The end of the world is always just around the corner. Has been for centuries.
I’ve got several thousand rounds in 22 of assorted capabilities, and several hundred for the rest of the guns. Except the 30/30. I have it more for the nostalgia than anything else.
The whole problem IMHO with the survival crowd is how can you protect your pile when you are only 1 or a small family group?
I think that the immediate end won’t be a large threat and the really late stages should be manageable. It is the 30 – 90 day range that concerns me and I don’t think I can stay awake for 60 days.
I think a squad size unit of defenders might stand a chance, but that could be iffy as well.
Oh well, back to work.

Wake me when there is an eclipse no one predicted. Until then, it’s business as usual.

Hmmm…Sounds to me more like a Monday than a Wednesday.

The super volcano bit is great on dates. “I saw on the news we might all be dead tomorrow, the super volcano is going to blow up. We should spend the night together and make mad passionate love.” This is a variation of the atomic bomb close that was effective in the 80’s.

that one, at least, doesn’t signify anything new or dramatically different. the last i don’t know how many years, it’s been “there’s a war in israel.” / “oh, i guess the earth’s still in orbit around the sun then.”
if ever there was real peace in israel, i’d start worrying somebody had dropped acid in the water supply or something. but until then…

Dude, how the hell did you forget India and Pakistan? You know, the two nuclear states that have had a terrible relationship for decades, who have a running dispute over territory, and who have been positioning troops near their border over the last couple of weeks? And one of them is an Islamic nuclear-capable state, in danger of failing, and with a large al-Qaeda presence just itching to see that happens so they can swoop in and get the nukes?

P.S. Great title, by the way.
Also, you forgot about Keanu Reeves coming to wipe out mankind if we don’t change our environmentally insensitive ways.

I’ve noticed this as well. I’m guessing that by February 20th, the world will be looking a lot rosier, or at least the media coverage we receive will be more positive in scope.
It’s all about the narrative, and right now Hope and Change hasn’t taken office yet. After the inauguration things will start to look a lot better… or at least the news will be covered that way.

As far as asteroids, 2007vk184 is currently the highest rated object on the Torino impact scale at a 1. We’re good until at least 2048 though.

Given the long history of migration from Tennessee to Texas (hell, my family came from Eastern Tennessee to Texas in 1852) I see no reason why Texas wouldn’t welcome you into the Greater Texas Cooperative Sphere.
As for myself, I welcome the Second Republic of Texas.
Currently, Texas has the 9th largest GDP in the world, if compared as equals among nations.

The migration from Tennessee to Texas may need to be reversed since Tejas is slated to become part of Aztlan. That’s part of the agenda facilitated bu mass illegal immigration being aided and abetted by U.S. politicians like Jorge W. Boosh, Juan McCain and Barack Obama. It could be time for secession from the treasonous globalist union.

Feh.
We drove that uppity Mexican army out once. We can do it again. They just need to bring more Chebbies this time, homes.
On the other hand, we’d never be able to get decent tacos or quality lawn care ever again.
Besides, TN doesn’t have a coastline.

Me I’m waiting for the aliens to show up and give a ride.
That’s space aliens in case you where confused.

Ha. My reading comprehension sucks. You totally mentioned India/Pakistan, and I glossed right over it. Double dumb on me. 🙂
