A Dilemma

We've just heard that scientists have discovered a meteor heading towards Earth. They have calculated that it will strike the U.S.A. at around 2:00am tomorrow. It will completely wipe the U.S.A. from the face of the earth.

We in Britain are faced with a terrible dilemma: should we stay up and watch it live on TV, or record it and watch it after breakfast?

Any advice welcomed

Ian

We are hoping that our umbrellas will keep us dry and deflect any meteors . I refuse to enter into a battle of words re the relative merits of British and German food, because, as you know, the WURST jokes are about German Sausages !

..................................Now you lot are all ancient..so wont know the great song by REM called ..'Its the end of the world as I know it '...try it on You Tube...

Donr...an ' Apocalypse Now PMC Club Bash ' on your Hot Tin Roof has attracted some attention.

I have, for the first time, bought a First Class ticket to Atlanta...as a Brit Peasant..I have never 'turned left' at the top of the stairs...mmmmmm..luxury !

So....we are all on for the Party.....

Seems to me that some basic supplies for an End Of Civilization scenario might include...:

Very good Cristal champagne..( not the cheap stuff )...

A very good fillet steak..

A very good veggy stroganoff..

Fish and Chips from my local Pub....

A very good supply of real cask beer..

Very GOOD COMPANY.....

I rather think that ones sartorial sensibilities might have an opportunity for an outing....

For myself,...My best Dress Suit..always a Party Stopper,...given that the Jermyn Street jacket and waistcoat go ..SO ..well with the Versace , above the knee, Koala skin skirt.

Feel free to criticize my sense of style..

.........................IAN, the dilemma would have been even tougher last week as it would have clashed with the Winter Olympic 'Curling' events....................

laughs again

Thanks everyone. I always have said that laughter is the best medicine, and I really do enjoy your comments. Having said that, are we in Oz going to miss out on all the fun if the entire Northern Hemisphere is wiped out? We will have to learn to be more self sufficient without all of our imports. Maybe our car industry will have another chance!!

What are you thinking? What about chocolate??? If its the end if the world I could eat chocolate without feeling guilty about the calories....

Would anyone notice?

Kinda like wearing dark pants/trousers and wetting yourself. You get a nice warm feeling but no one really notices.

... were you not the ones drowning? I think, if I had to chose between nice and quick death by meteor versus drowning slowly in a country where your last meal will be some meat with peppermint sauce, I'd pick the meteor. Everything's fine here in good old Germany, so if you need a place to stay...

Hey Ian.....Look up!,

by Casper - 2014-02-25 02:02:47

I can seeeeeeee you!

It's me Casper, I'm in heaven and I slipped past St. Peter, he was off having his pacemaker adjusted!

The comment did hit Bethel, CT,

You better be behaving yourself, and that goes for you too Tattoo Man.

All is well up here.

Poor Ian - he just got hooked on...

by donr - 2014-02-25 09:02:16

...the horns of his Dilemma! (As Texan's would say "Hook 'em 'Horns!")

I'm still here & no asteroid in MY front garden (Yard, to you Yanks out there).

That's the problem w/ Dilemma hunting - just ask JerryG from South Africa. He stands backup behind amateur Dilemma hunters all the time, his trusty "Double" at the ready.

The worst part is that if the amateur he's guiding misses w/ his/her two shots, that charging, dodging, weaving, zig-zagging Dilemma will lower its head & drive one of those shiny, razor -sharp horns into a part of the male anatomy that is most tender & critical towards producing progeny. Needless to say, it hurts. After driving the horn home, it raises it's butt-ugly head & tosses the rag-doll remnants of the victim into the air, arms , legs, heads, & other appendages that may still be attached flailing helplessly in the wind as the willow-limp body appears in slow motion agony to reach an apogee then fall to earth, not silently, but doing a duet of its blood curdling screams of agony precisely in tune & rhythm w/ the undulating bellows of triumph issuing from the throat of the great Dilemma. Needless to say, the victim will be performing the soprano part of the duet.

Cheers, Ian - better luck next time w/ the reliability of your scientists.

A message to the late Don !

by IAN MC - 2014-02-25 12:02:12

You say " I'm still here " but how do I know that wasn't the last post you ever sent ? I will only believe that you're still alive after at least another 5 posts !

and you can take that colander off your head now !

Cheers

Ian ( flooded but meteor -free )

Could it be the ice and snow will melt, and cause rain in the UK????? All that water has got to go somewhere, to much to vaporize. Keep you umberellas at the ready!!!!

You know you're wired when...

You have rhythm.
