If Spexx, Zen, Bri, and I hooked up...we would have the best post-apocalyptic party EVAH.

I actually said Teh intrawebz but changed it to pierogies. I'm expecting the munchies after hitting Zen's stash of recreationals.

Yeah, right. Like you're going to trick us into telling you where the supplies are. I certainly don't have any.

I've got food, water, drugs, & sanitation covered for 2+months in our emergency stores. I think we're doing okay. Everything but guns.


For the Pockylips, I'd stock up on cyanide pills. Who wants to survive that?

I'll probably die. I figure I'll have fun on the way out.

To clarify: is everyone dead, or are most people dead? Are the people remaining zombies that I need to shoot at or hide from? Are there buildings? Will there be snacks?

I really need more information as to the meaning of the "end of civilization as we know it" to come up with a more precise list of my needs.
OK well obviously no everyone is dead! You're alive aren't you???

Anyway, I was thinking of a society overrun by anarchy. Total breakdown of government and law. Every man for himself so to speak.

I don't think there'd be zombies, but there'd probably still be deadshits.

@ Dar, I totally get that. My first thought was: "Shit....no hydrous ointment, or Oilatum, or Ventolin."

I don't think I would want to continue in a world that didn't have well-balanced hydrating creams and ointments. I'd be most likely to end up with some hideous skin infection against which anti-biotics might have been fine but against which I would no longer have a defence. I wouldn't dare wash my face because without cream to put on afterwards the skin stiffens to a mask. I'd have no response to the itch, the pain or the debilitating effects. None.

That scares the shit out of me. Really it does. Probably my worst nightmare. Along with not having an inhaler to hand when asthma flares.

If my loved ones are still about after The Event, then I'd probably hope to have a decent supply of creams and emollients and ventolin.

If they weren't about, then there would be little point in continuing anyway and going through the hell of untreated/able eczema. So I'd just hope I had the guts to go through with killing myself ahead of that.

Cheery huh? You'd never guess I was basically an optimist :P

Geez Dana...it was half tongue in cheek this thread...mainly because I had my period and was thinking about what wonderful inventions tampons are and how it'd really suck if I didn't have them anymore.

I think most people might surprise themselves if the end of civilization did occur. I know I wouldn't be laying down in a heap on the ground regardless of what might happen, and yes, I know all about skin infections thanks to my skin disorders, but I figure there'll be chemist shops I can rip off if I need to. The druggies wont be stealing the stuff I need.

Like I say. My response would depend how many peeps I had left in the world. And dogs, obviously :P



A big pouch of smoke would be an essential I think.

Care to join the Zen/Spexx/Bri/Shaw faction? We've got all your aftermath supplies here at Apocalypse Emporium! I'll stock up. I will.
