If the apocalypse started, I would get a gun, a portable stereo, and a Rush CD. Then I'd go on the roof and KICK SOME ASS FUCK YEAH!

By the way, Broose you are the first hit on google and google image search for Pilfering Gatorhead.

My friend made the picture, let me link you to his photobucket, bro.

Is your friend's last name Dali by any chance?

No. Any reason you are suddenly interested in my avatar?

[Ampersand]

I was comparing your friend's art to that of Salvador Dali.

But beyond that, the whole style of it seemed vaguely familiar. Like I'd seen it before or something.

Bumpin' Thread to remind those interested that the show airs tonight.

What shall we vote on?  Ratio of bullcrap characterization to semi-meaningful psychobabble?

[ToonyMan]

I hope there's zombies...or atleast flying nuns.

6:5.

There would still be loads of store clerks, bus drivers, airline pilots, state troopers, road workers, and unemployed drifters.  Especially in America, you'd have to nuke the crap out of everything to do more than dent the population, since we're so spread out over semi-small towns and exurbs.

I'm pretty sure that's why the show went with a virus as an explanation.  Pretty good chance of killing everybody, regardless of occupation or geography unless you're already hiding way out in the woods.  That said, I'll be very interested to see how well these guys do, because if such a hand picked crew of born improvisers can't hack it, we're all fucked.

A sword?  What, do you think the Humungus is going to roll up and shout "Stand And Deliver!"  And no, kevlar is not cut proof.  In fact, that's one of it's most commonly cited shortcomings as police armor.  Not that I would skin a deer with something as unwieldy as a sword either.

Wrong, their overconfidence and knowledge, they are more likely to attempt things that offer long term rewards. Surviving people that aren't special would survive day to day, eventually thinning to a very hardy part of society which would recreate.

How does any of these professions, except doctor, have to do with survival?

Like I said, there's a hell of a lot more to survival than farming.  All those mechanics and engineers would certainly come in handy for doing anything except regressing into the medieval ages.  However, the computer and martial arts people do seem rather superfluous, at least in an immediate sense.

Seriously, I would want two kinds of people - doctors who worked in africa or in a war and naturalist - person who can find running water and recognize herbs n such.

[Zironic]

oops DP

[Aqizzar]

"No no.  Well yell at them, not each other."

Is Aqizzar gonna havta slap a bitch?

Serious, that's what I was thinking at that part.  Yes, that survivalist dude was going crazy and being a jackass, but there is absolutely no room in Aq's new world for neo-parenting bullcrap.

And lemme tell ya, my night wasn't complete without sexagenarian man ass.  Dr. Cohn is officially awesome.

[Zai]

Well. I caught parts of it.

Michael Raines, the Inventor/"Solar Technology Tech", seemed pretty crazy. Very aggressive and controlling.

The most dwarfy guy (John Cohn, the guy with the beard) seemed to be pretty useful from what I saw, coming up with a form of socks that everybody else appeared to copy. At the end of the episode, they showed him taking a shower in the rain nude, which I imagine would be how a dwarf in DF will take showers when there isn't flowing water, once that's fully implemented.

[Rilder]

Yeah I saw the whole episode, apparently one of the engineers or something is a fisherman/hunter, so they might survive.

They should just eat that marine biologist though, probably tastes like whale.
