Hokie--learn the logistics of the whole situation and report back here. Your scenarios are screwed up.

Be nice...

You may need their help..

I think that Hokie was writing a satire of an earlier post. I would have to agree that those 55 gal barrels can be dangerous, but I think that being surrounded with AMORAL neighbors is much much more dangerous if we get into a situation where those barrels of fuel become very precious.

How do you expect to keep warm during a possible extended power outage if your neighbors send their kids over at night to steal from your woodpile?

It all will boil down to a showdown between the entitlement mentality versus the self-reliant mentality.

Can we have that in sarcasm, please, Hokie?

Would also like to know if you had any other waking visions that would take the surprise element out of a potentially horrific future?

Thanks.

Hmmm...I suppose that I should follow suit. I have, on occaision, thought bad things about our wonderful government and our dear and beloved president. I feel an almost overwhelming sense of guilt about this. I should turn myself in as well. Or perhaps I should just save them the bother and impale myself on the the antenna of my new shortwave radio...

I have a machine in my shed that spins around really fast, and a mysterious force comes shooting out of some wires I have hooked to it. It's really cool, but really scary, too. If you touch the wires, it can kill you.

You guys have really got me thinking now, and I'm not sure if i should wait for my big brother to come and save me from this deadly force, or if I should just confess and turn myself in. Hmmm, what to do, what to do...

People still love a good witch hunt.

Godspeed,

LOL Ludi.

Sorry for offending my anonymous critic and any others, I was tired and giddy, and the sarcasm was childish.

Hey,

is this a spoof or is the world even weirder than I always thought it was?

John Ludi, amused and confused.

John -

It's a brilliant spoof. That site took a heck of a lot of work, and my hats off to its developers. LOL!

For those of you who slept through Chem class, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is more commonly known as H20.
