    Talking My Emergency Procedure

    I would sit outside and watch for it. If it came my way I would assume the "position". I would bend over, put my head between my legs and kiss my a$$ goodbye.

    Well, if the world was going to end I'd be one of the guys looting and pillaging. Figure I'd do the stuff I'd never think of doing normally. Maybe rattle a baby or two,

    I've given this a bit of thought, actually. Not that I'm mucho concerned about it but it happens all the time (in the earth's time line, anyway) so it's inevitable that it will happen again someday.

    If it's a world ender I'd start smoking again. About the time the heat wave hit me, I'd guess.

    If it's the size of, oh say, my father's 1953 Diamond Reo with the T 921 diesel (now that was a hunk of metal!) AND I had a little advance notice I'd try to go underground. Whip up a little bunker, I guess, just to get past the shock and awe. Then come crawlin' out with the cock roaches and the rodents. The up side, if I didn't make it through Armageddon, no one would have to dig a grave, I'd already be buried.

    Dawg, you are so considerate. Yeah, if I knew a "world-ender" was heading my way, I guess I'd probably make popcorn and grab a lawn chair. If it's going to absolutely, no doubt about it take out everything....I'd try to find out where ground zero is and go sit there, then when I see the flash of it entering our atmosphere I'd jump up and give it the finger...cock up my fists and yell "C'mon you sonuvab**ch! Come and get it!" Why not?

    Of course, I'd want to make sure I got in a little luvvin' just before that because...well, hell...like I said...why not?

    If it's a world ender for sure, I would like to try to time a free fall from 15,000 feet, so I'd be flying when the wave hits. What a view I would have watching it come.... And what a free feeling not having a parachute strapped on!

    Timing would be everything.

    It would be just my luck the big flash would be followed by an announcement, "This has only been a test. Had an actually emergency existed you would have been instructed to tune...."

    I'd be standin' next to Trax and when the fireworks start I'd be sayin' something like: "OOOOHHH! Cool! Far-Out, dude! Look at all the pretty.....AAGGHH!!!

    Well, .. I would 'feel' kind of like the fish in your avatar Smok. I would think that all the knowledge of survival that I have amassed is all for nothing and then take a nap.

    If you're going to ground zero, would you mind taking a catcher's mitt? I might still be digging on my bunker. Just in case I don't get the chance afterwards, thanks!
