Just watched one of the science channels and the prediction of the end of the world will be 12/21/12, makes me wonder if I should buy more batteries for my flash and camera, insomuch I will not be able to charge them. And if it does occur, just want you to know its been nice chatting with all of you, (or most of you), and see you in that big camera in the sky. :lol: :thumbup:

Gee, wonder where I would be able to publish my pictures of the end of the world. Any suggestions?

I presume that you actually meant "Apocalyptic", although "Apoplectic" is strangely appropriate on this forum.

Would that make it an "Apoplectic Apocalypse"?
Say that ten times after eating a couple crackers.....;)

Costco is advertising 1 year supplies of freeze dried meals for around $1,100. They are supposed to be gourmet in quality, but you have to mix with water and heat most of them. I think I will check into Army K Rations. Now they were really excellent. Beans and wieners, ham and beans, beef and gravy and all you need is a GI can opener. On second thought I think I will just croak quickly. What the hell, I have seen the best of it anyway.

I was in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. We frequently had C rations that were canned during or before WWII. The oldest ones I ate were ham and eggs canned in 1938.

PrairieSeasons...I am impressed with your observation. No sir it was not a typo, I purposefully spelled it the way I did to see if anyone would catch the near spelling and simular angar,rage, tremination, end of times definition. With so much being said about the apocalypse, I wondered if the association of the two words would be noticed, and not construed or confused. Incidentally, can someone help me find my Polish friend Larry? I gave him some polish remover and have not seen him since. :roll:

If the Mayans predicted the end of the world on 12/21... Why did they bail out so early?

I once saw an expiration date on a container of salt. It's a mineral for Pete's sake. Just because you mine it out of the ground and put it in a cardboard container it goes bad??
Only in America!
(Better check the dates on those bags of clay cat litter)

I wonder if those big boxes of crackers are still in those abandoned CD shelters from the Cold War?

It could be Hostess Twinkies. I think their half-life is measured in millennia.

Funny you should mention them. I was in a convenience store yesterday and the Hostess rack, (still had the Hostess logo all over the back board), was loaded with wanna be Twinkies, Sno Balls and Cupcakes. All with a different name of course. They sure looked the same.

I can remember seeing dates of 1945 on C rats when I was there in'71 and my wifw thinks that the can goods in our pantry are no good just because there a couple of months beyond the date on the can!
