How would you react??
« on: August 26, 2009, 05:33:40 AM »
May be not a good heading but I'm trying to get a bit of participation on this one.

I was driving into work the other day getting irate with the slowness of the traffic and the dumb things people do etc. And started thinking about the film "War of the Worlds" and several other "the end of the world is nigh" films. And a question popped up in my head; how would you react if you knew that the human race would be exterminated in, say, a month's time. Nothing apocalyptic, just pffft! and we're all dust. Would you;

1) go on a killing, robbing, raping rampage?
2) try everything you've always been too scared to try?
3) start smoking, drinking, taking drugs and end your days as spaced out as you possibly can?
4) would you go all religious?
5) or would you carry on regardless, holding on to civilisation and your integrity and dignity as long as you can?

Personally I find no. 3 attractive.

I know, I know, my wife too says I have a runaway imagination and that I live in a fantasy world.

So long and thanks for all the fish!


I would first punch my manager in the face and tell him he is a d!ck head.

Second I would go get my kid and take her to every theme park I could get my hands on.

Third I would find "the one that got away" just to see her again before I go.

The hour before we all turn to dust I would get on the fastest thing I could find with two wheels. Douse myself in gas and right before I crash into a giant propane tank I would set myself on fire. Go out with a bang so to speak.

The police in West Sussex are not like they are in Liverpool, they would take a dim view of going to work on bike #42. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well I'd have finish off my 1 & 3/4 bottles of Oban, take the 61/2 for an extended run around the country side, have a few more good meals, call up my oldest friends say, Hah there you bastards I know when your going to die, wrap my arm around my wife, watch a few more sunsets and cloud formations together, and shoot the first, secound and whatever that disturbs us.
