Your house is burning down....

[Robb]

I've always enjoyed hearing people's answers to this one.

Your house is burning down, the family and pets are out OK -- but you get to take 2 things outta there before the whole place goes up.

What 2 things do you grab? :shrug:

[omshanti]

1. My passport and my antique Krishna statue

:)

[terrya]

2. Pictures...one of Doug and me. The other of my family. eom

[toddzilla]

4. my guitar..

nothing else is really worth the risk.. maybe my amp but it weighs 80 pounds.. lol

[UrbScotty]

3. My jacket and a good book.

Or, if it's warm, two good books.

[slackmaster]

5. Computer backup device and one camera

1955 vintage Rolleiflex F/2.8C

[geniph]

6. A robe, probably

since I sleep in the altogether...next would probably be my box of photos, if I could reach it, or my folder of insurance information if I couldn't get the photos.

[kayell]

7. My Cpu (damn, why don't I store backups offsite?)

and the family photo album with the pics that aren't in the 'puter yet.

[Blue-Jay]

8. I grab my saxes

Gotta pay the bills somehow.

[arwalden]

9. Photos and CPU

[Booberdawg]

10. My purse and the pets

[Intelsucks]

11. The stash and the... er... um... waterpipe.

:evilgrin:

[Rainbowreflect]

12. If my husband & dogs were safe I really cannot think of what I would take.

Maybe whatever bead project I'm in the middle of or my purse.

[VOX]

13. My Zuni lizard fetishes carved by Staley Natewa...

A *very* gifted carver who died suddenly this year at age 31 -- they are only about 3 1/4" in length; one is carved from apple coral, and the other from green ricolite.

They are irreplaceable.

[Loonman]

14. No Family or Pets

I just grab my balls and run.

[beyurslf]

15. Hmmm

CPU (all my pics are there)
My 3 Kings Asian statues.

[wysimdnwyg]

16. ALL of the pets are OK?

'Cause I don't know how in the hell I'm gonna get that 125 gallon fish tank out that fast.

I'd have to go with pictures and... and... hell, I don't know what else. Whatever's handy and easy to carry, I guess.

[TrogL]

17. Data and documentation

Computer files, photographs etc.

Passports, driver's licenses, wills etc.

[RebelOne]

18. My purse, makeup and electric curlers.

Oops, that makes three. Sorry I can't do without my curlers.

[damnraddem]

19. Is that why I smell smoke?

Oh, grab two things? First, my pants (with my wallet & keys inside), then my shoes. If it's cold, though, I'll also grab a coat.

Years ago (like 1/4 century ago), a fire started at work -- actually, next door, but the smoke came through the wall. I had just overseen the buying of a video monitor (no PCs then, just a dumb monitor and keyboard, with modem to connect by phone line to a mainframe), so I grabbed that and hurried into the alley. My boss noted that we had research documents on the shelves on the wall with the fire that had cost us many thousands of dollars to collect, and instead of trying to save them, I grabbed a monitor worth much less. I noted that at least I had grabbed something, rather than running out empty-handed, as most had done.

20. My August 8, 1974 El Paso Herald Post Extra edition

With the 216 pt. headline
NIXON TO RESIGN

Everything else could be replaced

[guitar man]

21. My guitar and my stash

[onebigbadwulf]

22. Computer and guitar

[MadHound]

23. A fire extinguisher and a long hose

Then I could safely go back in and get other stuff!
Those ex-firemen, aren't we tricky? :P
