What, exactly, are we supposed to be "alert" for? All these morons,

[karlschneider]

governors, mayors, Bunnypants etc. want us to be on the lookout for possible 'terist' activities. I guess if I see a swarthy fellow driving a pickup with a big box in the back marked "dirty bomb" I should call somebody...?

:eyes:

1. I'm not worried cuz I have lots of duct tape

[karlschneider]

3. But how're you fixed for plastic sheeting??? Gotta have some of that too

But I can't remember the directions...do I wrap myself in it? And who will put the tape on. Oh, dear, so much to remember.
:evilgrin:

5. A word of advice on the plastic sheeting:

It goes ON TOP of your tinfoil hat. And don't forget to call the FBI if you see anything suspiscious, such as swarthy people in public places.

[frylock]

8. i prefer to double up..

tin-foil, plastic, tin-foil.

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. Swarthy person at large ------->

[Booberdawg]

14. I have plastic sheeting too, but not because that moron told me to go

buy some. I have some from painting the whole main level of my home last year.

You were supposed to seal off a whole room with duct tape and palstic sheeting so chemicals could not penetrate the room. Possibly the whole outside of the house too - or was that just one freeper moran on the news that did that?

Anyway, that will be good for one room, MAYBE, as long as long as the oxygen lasts in that sealed off room. Then lean over and kiss your ass goodbye :eyes:

If its a bomb, your handywork will be blown to fucking smitherines!

2. If only every American would take the time to make that one

extra phonecall to Homeland Security and share their suspicions with Tom Ridge, everyone could be incriminated and we'd no longer have to worry about who the terrorists are.

[camero]

4. I nominate Santa

What's with that big bag anyway? And that red light on the front?
Who the heck flies reindeer? Will they take it down if it goes in WH air space?

OK that's right, georgie ain't gettin any toys this year. :)

9. covering their asses

I was surprised and amused by a discussion on last night's "Scarborough Country." They were all talking about the announcement in "cya" terms, I don't think they realized how they sounded. They sounded somewhere near the truth, which is that the announcement is not really intended to reduce the chance of an attack, but more to be able to say "well, we warned you" afterwards.

[karlschneider]

10. Yeah, but will "we warned you" fly if they fail to prevent an attack?

I confess I have no clue...
:grr:

[LeahMira]

11. They will make it so.

Yeah, but will "we warned you" fly if they fail to prevent an attack?

In case you hadn't noticed, this administration takes the heat for nothing. If they fail, no doubt it will be because the American people weren't being alert.

On second thought, it will probably be just liberals who aren't alert enough. You know how alert conservatives are. They're always sniffing out sin!

[karlschneider]

12. Yeah, I've noticed. Just looking for a dime in a shitpile I guess...

:eyes:

[moondust]

13. Look behind more trees and under more trucks.

Park at the far corner of the parking lot away from the blast area. Drive the back streets away from the roadside bombs. Stop strangers on the street and frisk them. Check under your hood for explosives before you start your car. You get the idea.

[karlschneider]

15. You have given me an idea. A really, truly evil prank. I'm gonna do it.

but I ain't gonna say what just now.
:evilgrin:

[Nobody]

19. Tell us how it turns out n/t

[mandyky]

17. I've been feeling antsy for about a week -

I live near Bluegrass Army Deppot, where we have WMD stored (nerve agent so I'm told). I have been filling water jugs and such every chance I get. Fortunately, I won't have to go to the store until after the first of the year. The Orange alert just confirmed what my instincts have been telling me for a week.

[Nobody]

18. I'm wondering who cut the cheese

Since we're on Orange Alert and the Weapon of Ass Destruction has yet to be found.

If you don't want to aphyxiate people with your silent but deadly biological warfare gasses, soak your beans for 24 hours before you eat them.

[IndianaGreen]

20. I am more worried about who moved my cheese!
