POLL--------Do you own a bomb shelter?

[dogday]

All this talk about nukes made me think.. How many out there have a bomb shelter or somewhere to go if it came to it....

On edit: This is my first poll so be gentle with me

[cynatnite]

1. I have a basement and the movie 'The Day After'

:)

[dogday]

2. That was a great movie, it really

shows you what hell is....

[NoPasaran]

5. I have a lawnchair and a pair of sunglasses

Also "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" on DVD

[jody]

3. You mentioned nukes, do you mean a nuclear fall out shelter? If so I doubt

many people today own one although there were some in the fifties.

[dogday]

6. I guess anything that you think would protect

you from fallout... I know there are some that have places built underground.. I saw a piece on it a few years ago...

[jody]

10. Understand but such a shelter would need supplies to protect

for some period of time. I'll bet the group best prepared to handle such an emergency are members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints aka Mormons.

[FrenchieCat]

4. No, I don't.....? Maybe a better question

would have been....how many thinks it's becoming time to buy a Bomb shelter?

8. Lewis Black explains it all...

You know what they would do?

They would come to my elementary school with films to show me how to protect myself from a nuclear-fuck-holocaust.

They would show this giant nuclear-fucking-bomb just blowing the shit out of everything.

Goats and monkeys flying everywhere!!

The windows of the elementary school blown out, the teacher banged up against the fucking blackboard.

But there were the children... hiding safely under their desks.

15. That was a great skit. Lewis rocks. (n/t)

[dogday]

16. That picture brings back memories...

I grew up on a SAC base and we drilled constantly as they felt the enemy would try to take out the SAC bases first... We had a house with a huge closet, it was the hurricane closet and the bomb closet and we had to go in there at times to drill, as well as the under-the-desk drills I did at school...

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. Yeah, It's in the basement of the whitehouse. n/t

[dogday]

9. Nice to know at least one of us will survive

I don't even have a basement, I am screwed!!!!!

[FrenchieCat]

13. Isn't the new "thing", the "Panic Room".....

[redwitch]

11. I don't have one

But a house for sale in Glens Falls ,New York last month advertised a bomb shelter as a selling point. I was tempted ( just because it is a piece of history). I want to go with everybody else when they drop the big one!

[Ron Green]

12. I remember going to the State Fair as a teenager in 1960, 1961 . . .

and seeing the bomb shelters for sale. There were many different models, some with complex ventilation systems and storage for months of supplies. Lots of people were buying them then, and today they serve as tornado shelters and root cellars. Maybe they'll come in handy soon.

14. I live

in a place unlikely to be near a nuke target and have Wim Wender's "Until the end of the world".

[electropop]

17. I live at ground zero: a few hundred yards from the Pentagon.

I am so screwed.

I should go get "Blast From the Past" - my favorite bomb shelter movie.

[Sinti]

18. I have a bull's eye painted on the roof of my home, does that count?

[DainBramaged]

19. Savin a bottle of Jack, will sit on my porch and wait for the blast

Cyas, been real. Oh, if I ever come back in the next thousand years, leave me a note as to what happened.:hide:

[sutz12]

20. I'm screwed.....big time....

I figure about 20 minutes after we nuke Iran N Korea will launch one at Seattle. I won't be logging on after that one. :hide: :cry:

[DoYouEverWonder]

21. Believe it or not

there is one on my property.

I didn't even know about it until I had a yard sale one day and someone came by who knew about it.

The original owners had installed this 10 x 10 box that you could buy and bury in the ground, so you could have your own shelter in the event of a nuke attack. It had little vents that stick up out of the ground. Lot of good they would have done.

Anyway, the last owner's wife was deathly afraid of snakes and other animals, so she had the thing filled up with rocks. I guess I could always dig it out if it came down to it?

[niyad]

22. got my duct tape and plastic wrap right here--and the door with the

sawhorses, and the dirt. does that count?

[hopeisaplace]

23. No, but could they be selling on Ebay now?

:think:

lol :)

[pitohui]

24. foster you're d ead by philip k dick

[Squatch]

25. I'll be going into "Red Dawn" mode

Wolverines!!!
