And don't forget to duck and cover in case of a nuclear bomb explosion.

And in your car be sure to carry a plastic bag so you can cover your head in an emergency. Don't forget to wrap the duct tape around your neck to keep the gases out!
Stupid is as stupid does.

Apparently people in San Diego are tocking up. When I went to my local store to pick some up (general needs - not warning related) the were out. Over the weekend this same store had three racks full of it.

kinda reminds you of the "duck & cover" maneuvers kids were put through in school during the 50s. As if hiding under a desk or against a wall would protect you in the event a bomb was dropped...
Duct tape & plastic will be about as efficacious.

LOL! That's exactly what I thought! I thought to myself, "How in the HELL would putting plastic over your windows keep airborn viruses or radiation from a Dirty Bomb out?" You have to realize that air gets in through your house in many ways, not just the doors and windows. If it happens and its in the air around your home, you're dead!
So, this is just more Bullsh1t and lies by our government. Why lie to us? For the same reason that they used to put shark "repellant" in life boats. There is not such thing as shark repellant - it was just orange dye. It was meant to help keep people quiet as the end came to them.
I suppose those same people who went out to buy the duct tape and plastic and heavy-duty sissors are the same ones clammering for a small pox vaccine shot and an anthrax vaccine shot. Dummies, in other words.

I never knew just how important watching the Red Green show was. I always have a ton of duct tape around the house...and tarps. I can use them, can't I?
Amen,

why tape the room up and sufocate slowly? Put it right on your kid's face so it'll be quick at least.

don't be so pessimistic! Why not just gradually train yourself & your kids to hold your breaths for longer and longer periods of time?

We are (were) going shooting this Saturday. Here's pretty much verbatim the conversation this afternoon in WalMart, after we drove 30 miles to get there:
profe: "I need a case of 12guage field loads and two boxes of .223's"
ammoCounter-Bubba guy: "We're out"
profe: "of 12 guage?"
Bubba: "yup"
profe: "How about the 223's?"
Bubba: "them too"
profe: "all right, make it a case of 20 guage"
Bubba: "sorry"
profe: "16 guage?"
Bubba: "we don't carry 'em, nobody shoots 16's anymore"
profe: "the last time I saw this happen here was December 31st 1999, the un-millennium when everybody thought the world was going to end"
Bubba: "yup".

profe51,
Your comment sort of reminds me of a certain visit to a Metro Detroit Walmart.
In the 1940's many paople from the south come to the Detroit area for jobs in the auto (defense) plants. Many of them retained there strong southern accents.
Over the intercom came the older female voice with a strong southern drawl. "Would team leader Jimbo come to the service desk to assist a customer, repeating, would team leader Jimbo come to the service desk to assist a customer?"

In Akron where I grew up we had people from West Virginia come to work at the rubber plants. Thus all the ethnic jokes - such as would be Polish jokes in Detroit - were W.Va. jokes.
Did you hear the Governor of W. Va resigned?
No!
Yup - Got called back to Goodyear.
What's the only good thing came out of W. Va.?
No idea...
An empty Greyhound.
Many many moons ago I was fresh out of high school and got a second job nights working at a gas station. The other man was a fellow from up in the hills of West Virginia and had that completely fearless mountainer attitude. One night a huge black guy came in and whipped a BIG black pistol out and launching into a long winded instruction about how this was a hold up and what he expected us to do...The Kid from W. Va. just reached across and grabbed the pistol and twisted it out of the guys hand. The flustered robber ran back out and jumped in his car and burned out of the driveway. The kid stood at the door and put all six shots through the car taking the front and back windows out... Came back inside with a smile on his face and said ... "Got me a new pistol"

News from Washington Post about sealing a room with ducktape!
Allow Ten square feet of floor space per person to provide sufficient air to prevent carbon-dioxide buildup for up to five hours.
What next??? ...with a three day food supply and only five hours to breathe?
LOL!

With all our capital devoted to blowing up the rest of the world and spying on ordinary citizens, there's just not much left for internal collateral damage.
