    Put on my sunglasses, get comfy in a chair with the wife and a mixed drink and open the window.

    Eat a bunch of mushrooms and watch peoples faces melt and go "cool"

    Then freak out when mine starts melting and run for a ditch drain to hide and peel it off while making Gremlin noises so I can do the zombie walk into some stores for some free stuff


    Seriously, Id be huddled in with the family, doing all I could to protect them while huffing air purifiers

    I'd find a suitable partner and we'd fuck our brains out.

    Failing that, eat a large linguica bomb sub and a side of onion rings from the sub shop in town, and wait for the sweet release of death.

    Loot a grocer, then the jewelry store, then a hardware store, then fill whatever containers I can find with gasoline, kidnap Jessica Alba and make for a cabin in the mountains.

    Conveniently I forgot to steal some clothes ;-)

    Try to be as close to the explosion as I can so I die quick.

    I've often wondered what I would do in the situation or the more probably collapse of society. I think the only ones capable of blanketing the world in nukes would be the united states.

    Anyhow, if either one would happen, I could find an area that hasn't been affected, grow my own food in the summer and prepare for winter. I in fact welcome the collapse because I know I can take care of myself: I know how to hunt, build shelter, and grow/can my own food. I feel sorry for people that can't do things for themselves, their $400,000 houses are useless when money doesn't mean anything and you are starving.

    A very very good book on the subject is "Alas, Babylon." It was written nearly 50 years ago, but very relavent of what would happen in a real nuclear war. One of the things that stuck in my head was that all the power plants were down where the bomb went off.... no electricity, no refrigeration.... no refrigeration, no way to keep your insulin so all the diabetics died.

    They also run out of salt in the book, which may not seem like a big deal but you need salt to live. Its not a big deal to us since so much of our food is laden with salt, but it became a problem in the book.

    Anyways, great its a great read if you get the chance.

    id get to my fiance as quick as possible and just hang out with her....but i live in the desert...so id probably be somewhat ok for awhile, just have to avoid all the crazies...then, once the dust had settled (assumiung i hadnt died somehow) id begin a treck up the the top of the mountain here, and live there....or, id head out further into the desert or north to colorado...after making pit stops at 1 or 2 friends houses to see if they were ok and wanted to head out with us...

    I am being realistic. I live in one of the cities that would get hit and I would not make it far enogh to escape the fall out. I would rather die quick than slow, but that is just me.

    Well, more then likely would take the puppy and I and go downstairs. Then hope that I die a quick death. Or try desperately to get to one of many cave systems in the area. Hubby would be safe since he works in the caves.

    Take my finger off the button, sit back and watch the world end.

    And maybe come here to ban Razorwire.

    Sigh and say "It's about time humanity wiped itself out." and then relax.

    Considering I live a mile from an Airforce base, I probably won't do much since I'll be radioactive dust in minutes.

    After being entertained by watching the destruction on the news, I would get my 30-06, get a ton of bullets, take my shot gun, and my pistol, with a ton of bullets too. Id take my machette, and my knives with me of course. Get the girl, and go into the middle of nowhere. No civilation for miles. We would build a little hut, and live off the land with her, killing lots of animals. I live in Wisconsin, so Im used to this kind of thing, living in the wilderness, hunting, all that good stuff, and Im used to the cold. Me and her would survive, until the earth is destroyed, and when it goes boom, we die.
