No kidding.
Yep, my city's just been nuked and darn, I've run out of toilet paper...that will certainly be at the forefront of people's worries. (end/sarcasm)
Here's to praying that it's all a figment of his imagination, but even if there is a small chance of a coordinated nuclear attack, the folks who haven't at least done the bare minimum for preparedness will be kicking themselves squarely in the ass.
Reminds me of all the hype before Y2K
Wanna buy some freeze-dried chili that's only slightly past the "best by" date? :)
I think i'll just be well armed and ready to meet my maker
In truth, a lot of hard work went into preventing problems with Y2K. It was the preparation ahead of time that reduced the event to a few small glitches in the system.
If they try anything like this, the US should immediately nuke Mecca, Medina, the West Bank, Gaza, Damascus, Tehran, and Quom (or however you spell that sh*thole).
Makes sense that the author is a former legislator. Politicians have no clue what a good policy is, they only know politics. Stockpiling food is not the way to deal with nuclear terror. The way to deal with nuclear terror is surveillance, border control, and detection.
He forgot to mention beer,Jim Beam and smokes...he doesn't know what he's talkin aboot.
He must have stock in Charmin.
I can see it now: the remake of the old Twilight Zone episode where all the neighbors are trying to break in to this guy's bomb shelter: "Can't you at least spare some TP?"
The towel heads are just too incompetent to pull it off. Getting a nuke, maintaining a nuke, smuggling and maintaing the nuke into the US, concealing the nuke and maintenancing the nuke in concealment, hiding the nuke from US NEST is too much for the IBM crew to deal with. It isn't going to happen, ever.
Agreed, I actually called my county water supplier and spoke to the engineer. They had spent a LOT of money upgrading their system for Y2K.
It's just that there was also a lot of hype as well.
*LOL*!!!!!!
I was considering saving the Sears web site to disc for multiple use...
Hump Day blues?
For those that are taking this B/S seriously, a tip. Learn which leaves and grasses are non-toxic to the rectum and forget about toilet paper.
It will be hard, if not impossible, to tote large boxes of toilet paper on your trek through the nuclear wilderness, and taking a dump will be the last concern on your mind.
If I told you in 1994 that terrorists would eventually bring down both Twin Towers, I can imagaine your response then as well.
