Gasoline skyrockets to 100 dollars a gallon. The Apocalypse is here. Road warriors are everywhere. They only hope for America are the members of BFSSFG. Where would we meet? Chicago sounds like a pretty central location.

As long as I can mount some harpoon guns to my bike, I'll meet anywhere.

first we'll have to meet in more localized areas--think bfssfg northeast, bfssfg midwest, bfssfg deep south, bfssfg rockies, et cetera, et cetera.

then we can meet in more general locations

I think the last thing I would want to do in the apocalyptic times is meet up with other people from an internet chatroom...

Come on, it was only a matter of time till someone said it. :D

Sorry guys, I'm taking my tallbike to hook up with one of those bike punk gangs. They seem better equiped to handle an apocolypse. What would SSFG do without pink deep Vs and matching ourys?

Load up the tallbike with supplies and grab the shotgun.

dreadlocks are equally acceptable and require no product of any kind. If you just had to have the mohawk, aforementioned semen would work or you could just kill some horses to make your own glue.

12-12-07, 09:41 AM
Well, we all know there a plenty of dead horses being kicked around these forums. Grab some on your way out so you can start early on the DIY glue.

Screw you guys. If the apocalypse hits I'm on a 5,000 speed hardtail mountain bike with panniers and a shotgun saddle bag.

Get one with a fork that locks out so you can make it up a hill...

I'm moving into a WalMart when the times comes. Enough ammo and non-explicit CDs to last a lifetime.
Golf clubs and baseball bats too, if needed.

The Apocalypse is not coming due to gas/oil prices. It is coming because of Nundies (http://www.greendaily.com/2007/12/10/disposable-underwear-a-new-low/)!!!

As for me it is off to the beach house. I'd just have to figure out the best way to strap the fishing poles to the bike.

True, but you have to have a gun till everyone else runs out of ammo. You just also have to be ready when it's time to switch to maces and crossbows.

Can I ever!

I can also catch fish and deer with my bare hands...

So he showed you how to find the deer, not kill it, watch it for 4 weeks, get drunk, ride a scooter and then go back and kill it? Somehow I don't the ThrottleJock method works for anything other than... uh... somehow I don't think the TrottleJock method works for anything.

You forgot get laid anyways.

PS- told you there were plenty of dead horses around here. Hows the glue making going?

****, is the throttle jock method already a dead horse? The glue making is going ok, I'm focusing mainly on brakeless and helmet threads right now. I figure there's enough of those for 10 apocalypses even with the search function broken.

If you can tow a trebuchet with your bike, you're a much stronger rider than I am.

I will disappear into the northern wilderness of Quebec in an armored diesel suburban (run on pillaged bottles of veg oil) and not return stateside until years later.

I was thinking Montana. Depending on where you live, a border crossing may be nigh impossible.

Worse comes to worse I'd probably ride it out on a barstool in Baker City, OR. They probably wouldn't even notice that anything had happened.

our best hope is to hold together ad build a new society, a megacity to protect us from those who;'s minds and bodies have been corrupted by the muto-agent. We will build the megalopolis. Together.

Oh, and we would have to breed! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=F2h-3JdDLhE&feature=related) You know, to re-populate the earth! WE would be responsible for the continuation of the human race, think about that for a moment.

It's Fallout 3, that's true (however, it's the work of a group unrelated to the makers of F-3). The point remains, though.

Is the broken search function a dead horse, too, or can we kick that a few more times before it becomes proverbial?

Yes.
And make a bow & enough arrows.
And shoot them accurately.
And build shelter.
And skin & butcher animals. Mmmmm, animals.

My camp is going to be awesome. Just need to find somebody with a guitar...

Chicago because it is the largest city in the Midwest. If our main objective is to re-unite America, we are all going to have to meet somewhere. East and West must link up in the Midwest. It may be 10 years post-apocalypse before we gather enough supplies and organize a movement to Chicago, but it will be necessary eventually.

As much as I love Chicago, you would want to pick a location with a more forgiving climate. That is, presupposing an apocalypse would surely dismantle a lot of the luxuries most are use to.
