We won't know until Barfly calls in and asks what products the Hoagster uses.

Oh yeah. You know, I think an open lines night should be coming. I'll be interested to see if he identifies himself as "drunk naked man".

kill people, break stuff

Michael, you have the right to freedom of religion. But abruptly interrupting the conversations by posting the commandments of the satanic bible is disruptive. Please show respect for the other forum members.

Nuclear blasts. Would one mess up Hoagland's hair? Something tells me it wouldn't.

Not possible, Hoagland's hair is made from a mysterious substance only found 19.5 degrees from Pluto

I worked with two people who had to evacuate due to Chernobyl. They both found it unremarkable. One had to take iodine. One had to throw out the sweater she was wearing when the cloud was above. Completely unphased. They're US citizens now, though. Wouldn't ever think of returning to Kiev or Belarus.

I think our citizens overall would react differently.  I had friends who were from Bosnia during the war.  They shrugged off some horrible shit.  They too became citizens here.

A old school fridge would be better, the new ones are mostly plastic.
Personally i would run towards the bomb, i dont want to be the omega man

I used to be afraid of being trapped in a refrigerator due to that old Punky Brewster episode. That is the only episode I remember from that show. Well that one and the Challenger episode lol.

Okay.

FWIW, I'm with you, JamesMcDonald.

[ShayP]

I bet the only two people who survive a nuclear war will be Richard and Dave

Hoagie would exact his revenge and make Noory his bitch.....on a leash too.

Yes, mom.

Noory would still try to repopulate.  Because he's a dumbass.

now i want to puke

It's a difficult topic.  Everyone has an opinion.  No problem with that.

[Mild Bill]

I bet the only two people who survive a nuclear war will be Richard and Dave

...and Keith Richards.

[AppealPlay]

...and Keith Richards.

He's clearly immortal.

[DangerDog]

...and Keith Richards.

Oh, zombies count as survivors of a nuclear war? I didn't know that. I'm making a note for myself here for future reference... In my... "plans"...

Born In The USA: How America Created Iran's Nuclear Program

Good article but can't paste it here for some odd reason.

Nuclear blasts. Would one mess up Hoagland's hair? Something tells me it wouldn't.

If I survived a nuclear war and came across Hoagie's corpse, I would scalp him and wear his hair.  As I traveled the country people would see me as a god and the legend would grow.

[ShayP]

now i want to puke 

sorry

[maren]

Oh, I love me some doom porn but this guy is just boring.

I'm enjoying it (if "enjoy" is the right word).  He sounds knowledgeable, non-hair-on-fire, stuff I've not heard discussed in this way before. 

Kind of soft porn, I guess.

[Barfly]

Noory would still try to repopulate.  Because he's a dumbass.

Wait, but that wouldn't work..O the image in my head of Norry doing anal

lol I almost want Nuclear war to happen now for this to happen.

[Noorynoid]

They need to get down to more pressing questions regarding the nuclear issue. For example, if bigfoot was flying a UFO at 19.5 degrees during the launch, how many ICBMs would he be able to shoot down using the hyper-dimensional torsion field death ray his UFO is equipped with.

Still working on the numbers for you, have a seat if you will and my lovely assistant will make you a drink.

Late start for me tonight.   But I made it
Looks like Preppers & TNW.

Never saw Threads.  The Day After caused me a good deal of anxiety as a 13 year old. 

That movie sucked IMO. The first 5 minutes with the missile launch was the only good part. They hyped that flick for over a month before it aired. What a letdown. I'm about the same age as you Shay, & even at that time, I saw that movie as a propaganda flick.
#  Nothing Personal Shay    #
The movie they hyped for weeks that was kick-ass was "Damnation Alley" w/ George Peppard [A-Team] & Jan Michael Vincent[Airwolf]. Especially where he ditched the chick (manikin) off the back of the dirt bike to get away from the nuclear morphed giant scorpions. And that military RV they were cruising around in just plain beat all. Rotating dual Tri-tires  per axel. It was better than the cars on Mad-Max.  (Road Warrior hadn't been released yet)

Hoagland would rule the mad max radioactive world. The braapsters would maraud in our thunder vehicles looking for cans of cocktail wieners for our dark lord. You're driving, I'm throwing grenades, Sandra's up on the roof with the machine gun kicking ass because we know that Hoagland will be interviewing Keith Laney back at the compound that night.

[norland2424]

in all honestly i rather hear about this

[ShayP]

I used to be afraid of being trapped in a refrigerator due to that old Punky Brewster episode. That is the only episode I remember from that show. Well that one and the Challenger episode lol.

Even though my friends and i knew abandoned appliances were dangerous, we still would take turns getting in them and then throw rocks at it to cause torment and subsequent laughter by the rock throwers.  Boys will be boys.

[Barfly]

...and Keith Richards.

Keith Richards has been dead for years, he just hasn't accepted it yet.

[Noorynoid]

lol I almost want Nuclear war to happen now for this to happen.

Old college saying, "I can't wait for a nuclear war"

I like it.  However, Keith Laney wouldn't survive...unfortunately.

And you wonder why  we thought you had cooties.
