what if the world was gonna end in a year

[blackdragon6]

what would you do in that time frame?

[Grant]

what would you do in that time frame?

Eat nothing but Croissan'wiches every morning.

[Wesley Dodds]

Drop out of Uni and fuck that special girl.

[Solaris]

If we had absolute irrefutable proof that the world would end in a year... the world would erupt in chaos.

But, if it didn't erupt in chaos, we'd move to Ft. Lauderdale and divide our time between partying and enjoying our family. I think.

If it did go nuts, we'd probably head for the hills, just to get away from all the loonies and the ones who think the final year should be spent in raping and pillaging.

[hulahulk]

Spend time with family.

Get a one way ticket to Honolulu.

Encourage more public nudity and drunkenness from everyone I meet.:evilsmile

[estee]

The world would be in chaos for a while, but eventually the human race would become resigned to the end. After that everyone would make a list of what to do before the end...hey that was a plot of a nice little Canadian flick called "The Last Night".

Anyway my list...

Make sure I finish my novel.

Try every drug...ex, mesc, meth, coke, horse, and everything in between.

And of course sex with as many partners as possible.

A little cliche, but hey I only got a year.

[HomerJay]

#1 Quit my job
- Spend more time with my family & friends.
- Eat out (and charge) for every meal.
- Spoil the hell out of my daughter.

[JerrBear81]

I would tell Brian how I feel. He's not anyone from this forum, as far as I know.

He's a guy I met in college who I haven't been able to stop thinking about for the past 5 years. Everyday he pops in my mind. So I would get in contact with him, tell him, and hope to God he doesn't freak.

And be pleasently surprised if he actually was attracted to me, but I doubt he is.

[Grant]

Make sure I finish my novel. .

No offense but... who is going to read it?

You are wasting precious sex time.

Been meaning to rent Last Night. Big Don McKeller fan.

[GremlinClr]

Actually the world is supposed to end next month. The 5th to be exact. 8 (I think) planets plus the sun in perfect alignment is supposed to set off massive earthquakes and volcanos and things.

That's the theory anyway. So everyone quit your jobs and run amok! You only have 11 days left! ;)

Damn it now I'm going to miss the Season Finale of Lost. Maybe they will just tell us if the monster in the woods is a robot.

The monster in the jungle is Bea Arthur!

[Michael P]

I thought it was Frank Stallone.

Anyhow, I'd screw off work, have lots of sex, and write the history of the end of the human race.

[JerrBear81]

It's both really. They're mates and needed and island.

[tricksterpup]

I would not worry and live life normally.. Cause I know the truth..

They reveal that the Mayan calendar prophesies the end of our own "Age of the Jaguar", the fifth and final "sun" in 2012 AD. This, according to Cotterell's sun-spot theories, will be brought about by a sudden reversal in the earth's magnetic field.

So, its not gonna end in 2006 but in 2012, so I will still be able to see spiderman 3. :D

That brings up another point. There would be no wide spread chaos because 99% of the people would just think it's another crackpot theory and go about their lives normally. There would have to be concrete, government backed evidence for people to care.

[Alex]

Max out all my credit cards during a 2 week bender in vegas.
Save John Conner.

[Go Go]

Deny that the world was going to end, but get a lot of credit cards and spend spend spend. Also, I would encourage people who worked jobs like cashiers and baggers at grocery stores to quit their jobs. I forget who it was that pointed this out (some comedian I think), but in all those the-world-is-ending type movies, they always show rushes at the grocery store. And, surprisingly, the store is always well staffed in both cashiers and baggers. I just would hope that art would not immatate life.

[Tish-the-Scorpion]

lots and lots of sex (lets be real here *sigh* i'm such a hoe).....................steal a whole shit load of games,drugs and charge the rest to the game of life.and maybe have sex with underage hotties the ultimate forbidden fruit.











then go to church and repent around the final week of the year.

[Indy24LA]

I'd finish that rocket I've been working on and send my only son, Kal Elmer, to a primitive planet in another galaxy. That and drink more have sex more and go back and read Watchmen again.

[Dreadstar]

If the world was going to end in a year, and everyone believed it, you can kiss those credit cards goodbye. The companies would be bankrupt inside 2 months, easy. Insurance companies are going to fold next, so you best hope that you're first in line to cash in that policy before they declare a hold on out-go. If they ANY allow out-go AT ALL, in the first place. Credit dead, banks would get a run by the end of the month, so get in there and pull your cash and close your accounts, ASAP.

Oh and since the banks will go under, in oh say 3 - 4 months, that paper in your pocket will be worthless. Or hopelessly devalued. I'd probably try my damndest to get all my money out immediately, and spend it on a commodity, like gasoline. Forget about seeing the world on a cruise line, too. Cruise lines take a lot of people to run and well... the world's ending, haven't ya heard?

It'd be interesting to see what kind of an exchenge system evolves, what services are still available and what commodities aren't.

I figure I'd stay at work until the infrastructure fails and the paycheck becomes worthless, then I'd have to just get out and spend time with loved ones. And do all those things that my own (devalued as they are) mores prevent me from doing. I figure that by the 5 or 6 month (if that long, I'm being generous here), anarchy will reign. You'd have to find your own pocket away from the chaos and wait it out.

I can tell you one thing, though. I'd be sitting on top of a year's supply of weed and drugs and the best goddamned liquor and beer and wine the world has to offer, and an armory that's make Ted Kennedy's bodyguards blanche.

[phoenixrising]

I'd quit my job and move back home. If the world's gonna end, it isn't going to be when I'm alone in Milwaukee....

[i_mmmchocolate]

In a year?

Drop out of school, tell all those guys I've secretly crushed on my feelings, travel somewhere I've always wanted to go, buy those books and CDs I've been saving up for, go on an expensive chocolate binge, adopt several greyhounds, throw out all the papers related to graduate school and jobs, etc...

[tricksterpup]

I'd quit my job and move back home. If the world's gonna end, it isn't going to be when I'm alone in Milwaukee....

Hey I would come and visit. :D

I think it would also be fun to slander all those people you disliked. :rolleyes:

[Sam A. Robrin]

Ah, yes . . . This song has a special message in it, just for you:

She's right. It would be chaos. You couldn't get your croissandwich because there'd be no one willing to make it or even drive the fixin's to McDonalds. It would be awful. Money would be worth nothing and even the farmers would refuse to make the food and the truckers would refuse to ship it.

The way this question should be asked is:

"What if you knew the world would end in a year, but only you, and you were unable to tell anyone else because of a hypnotic block. What would you do?"

What would I do? Just what I'm doing now. Taking little baby steps back into mental health. Rushing down to Lauderdale for to see a wet T-shirt contest wouldn't help me with my problems.

And I'd probably have a setback due the end of the world being nigh.

[fly on the wall]

Wait a minute!!!

I know what I'd do.

I'd grow a beard and put white robes on and walking around with a sign that says "The End is Nigh!". When people came near I'd say "Repent Sinner!" and "It's not too late, brother."

By using this dodge I would be able to communicate on some level to my fellow man that the Earth was doomed, in spite of the hypnotic block.

That made me chuckel out loud. it was beautiful.

[Wesley Dodds]

But don't you already do that crazy man? :p

[tricksterpup]

But don't you already do that crazy man? :p
crap, i forgot about that.. ok, it made me chuckle in that very special way that doesnt show people that I am crazy.

[darkkeeperjr]

go to a beach and be a beach bum.people always bring food to the beach.i'll be the yogi bear of the best beach in the world. :D

[Daniel Lewis]

First, get married to that girl I've been crushing on and find a nice secluded spot away from civilization.

When the time comes, hold her in my arms, Play Third Day's "Sky Falls Down" on my radio, stare at the sunset and watch the show. :D

[Alex]

I thought of a few more.
Id probably try every drug i haven't tried, while skydiving.
id wear a protective suit of some kind...some sort of airbag suit, and crash a car.
Id punch a protestor in the face, and then run. Im not sure what they would be protesting it being the end of the world, but im sure i can find some greenpeace or peta guy.

[Sanagi]

Write and perform as much music as possible. Hopefully record some of it and store it somewhere safe for future civilizations to discover.

I like his question better... only caveat being that maybe instead of being the only person, I'm one of the few in the know on something the govt. has declared Top Top Top Secret.

Which of course means that I'd got a decent shot at the govt. arranging to forgive all our debt, and set us up in a nice beachfront home in Ft. Lauderdale, and "hire" us on for a year (so hubby can quit his job, and we can do things together). Hee. (And I'd create some "insurance" so that they don't just park us in Levinworth, instead.) And I'd divide my time between family, fun, and being good to people.... because being good to people is fun, too. :)

[Sam A. Robrin]

Im not sure what they would be protesting it being the end of the world, but im sure i can find some greenpeace or peta guy.Haven't you heard the gag (I think it originated with Neal Boortz) about the world being about to end, and the New York Times headline reads: "WORLD TO END TOMORROW--WOMEN AND MINORITIES HARDEST HIT" ?

[Hecate]

Spend time with the family take pictures and write about everything that I can think of and then place them in a capsule with a beacon so any who are vaugely interested would find it and see who we were. After we'd all be dead I'd start shit with the devil who probably had a hand in it to begin with. Course I'd get beat up, but what is he going to do Kill me? :p

[Grant]

She's right. It would be chaos. You couldn't get your croissandwich because there'd be no one willing to make it or even drive the fixin's to McDonalds.

Well I'll probably have to steal a bunch from the freezer at the local Burger King HQ. Most of that stuff is preserved to last 5 years anyways. Nothing is going to stand in the way of my apocalyptic crossaindwich diet.

[CHEYENNE-BLACKBIRD]

make up lost time with my 2 kids

[Fabian]

Travel everywhere I've wanted to go that my funds would allow me to, live on the road and whatever money I make along the way and whatever freebies get thrown my way. And maybe, just maybe, get a partner

[Fabian]

Drop out of Uni and fuck that special girl.
That sounds like your going to the special olympics to pick up chicks

[Michael P]

That sounds like your going to the special olympics to pick up chicks
Hey, it's harder for 'em to run away.

[redlantern2051]

I'd finally start giving into the ultimate temptation to be a Sinatra Clone.

I would buy a fedora, an orange cashmere cardigan, snappy suits & cool black shoes, and go round saying "Ring-A-Ding-Ding...baby!"

I could easily do that for a year!

[blackdragon6]

on the last day im gonna have a fucking feast...................if i'm gonna die i'm gonna die one fat full mothafucka

[mgs]

1. quit job
2. ask every legal female i come in contact with, if they will have sex with me, and hope!
3. max out and use all money, credit cards, etc.
4. pray at church every sunday.
5. travel the country.

btw,
I'd quit my job and move back home. If the world's gonna end, it isn't going to be when I'm alone in Milwaukee....
sorry to cut into your personal life, pho, but, alone? what about your man? still with him? O.o
