tell me about it. i think i'm getting a rash on my forehead now.

Hey coasting,

Is there a prepper movement in East Asia and/or U.K.? Or is it mostly an American phenomenon?

what the hell is that?

Obviously not.

oh i see. I think its an american thing. paranoia seems to surface periodically especially during bad economic times. remember the 70's and all the great disaster movies? towering inferno, poseidon adventure?

Not all countries in the world are paranoid.

There are a few in Australia, though.

surely in aus there must be. it's a frontier culture too.

People like the guy in the article I linked above, who stock up stores of food, guns, and what not, preparing for the coming doomsday.

curious. i see no link.

I often wonder what good the kittens will be. To ward off the zombies after the apocalypse? I mean, no-one above ground will be alive. Does it mean that the people who have bunkers will be fighting each other, killing off whatever other life remains?

<looks to the heavens> I just don't understand...

Nope, they don't make them like they used to.

Weird, paranoid peoples. 'Nuff said.



Exactly.

Living is overrated.

there are lots of movies about apocolpse. terminator, armageddon...

help me fill out the list

Read some good post-apocalyptic fiction. I was in that genre mood for a while. There's some good books out there.

i misread the Airport movie for Airplane. Both great movies.

Oh I see! I visit them in P&R.

Are there internet forums for preppers?

The Road.

i've been watching a 200 long playlist of seinfeld youtubes. that series was the best. nothing comes close.

Read this back in High School during the Cold War era... Alas Babylon by Pat Frank.

The book was much better than the movie, though the ending was an odd twist.

Anyone have their garmin speed/cadence sensor go bad? Put two different new batteries in it, checked the magnets on the wheel and crank for alignment, but my 500 won't pick it up. It gets my HR tho, so it must be the sensor?
