When the Sirens Whistle and the Shrill Whistles Call, I Ask: What is In Your Shelter?

What Did You Bring Into the Shelter? What Do You Wish You Had Brought Inside for a Mole's Year?

What Did You Bring Into the Shelter?
Potassium iodide
Books, Milk Duds and Diet Coke.
RE: "Books, Milk Duds and Diet Coke."
One: Milk Duds Would Require My Dentist in the Shelter Because They Manage To Pull Out Every Filling.
Two: Name the Books. Books You Have Read and Want to Revisit, Or Books You Haven't Read and the Dice Now Roll?
I'll come back to that in the morning. The Long Ships is calling my name. And I have to put away the Milk Duds for tonight because so far they haven't pulled off my temporary crown and it wouldn't do to tempt fate.
Re: "Potassium iodide"
"My girlfriend's got Sodium Laureth --

Sodium Laureth Sulfate hair"
Water, sugar, flour, yeast, wine, lots of wine, A full Ipod, batteries, antibiotics, Neosporin, and Marlee Matlin
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Laureth made me do a double take. I'd never heard that before. It's a condensation of lauryl ethyl.
"yl" is a common chemical suffix and part time infix or interfix.
Most men 50 and older have pumped ethyl. Unless they're from a big city and don't drive.
Seriously, a wind-up radio with a USB port is a handy thing to have around in case the power goes out. Many waited in long lines in NYC to get a charge for their iPhones.
Here's the one I bought last year. It's available through Lem's Magic Portal.
Lol

Was drinking water--almost gave myself a reverse sinus rinse.
I guess that also would have to be my answer-
water.
Na--make that coconut water.

Can you get that?
Something I had on my Amazon widh list for water purification is no longer available because *some people* use it to make meth. Or something evil.
So the guy can't sell it (the water purifier) anymore.
The cartoon is guy stranded on desert island and a cat being dropped to him by rescuers.
Luckily, Twinkies are back on the shelves.
For the record, I only buy free range peppers.
I'd stock up with bottles and bottles of homeopathic water and new age incense just to cause shelter crashers like Crack to self-select to someone else's hole in the ground. Peace.

You sure?
I thought they were the perfect survival food for nucular winter.
Daryl's crossbow.
Not so much for the time in the shelter, but for when we venture out. Very useful to be able to re-use your ammo.

Where? I haven't seen them here. I don't much care about the Twinkies, but I'm missing those Funny Bones.
Look it up, ed.
I'm not sure what the quality of the new Hostess is going to be. I read one story where they were cutting costs as much as possible, using the nastiest ingredients possible. Not that the old Hostess was all that great.
Smoked Hungarian sausage, nice big ones.
AllenS is consistently succinctly funny. I love his sardonic ways.

Yeah, as Jay Leno said about the expiration date on Wonder bread, it says "Hey, pal, you should live so long."
I'm here to please, Nick.
The new Hostess Brands, which bought the rights and recipe to make Twinkies and other Hostess snacks out of bankruptcy court earlier this year, says that when Twinkies return they'll have a 45-day shelf life. That's significantly longer than the 26-day shelf life they previously had.

Okay, I checked the local Wal-Mart over lunch, and I see that they do have Twinkies, and the other Hostess branded stuff. However, they don't have the Drake's branded products, including Funny Bones.
The Drake's brands were bought by a different company, and are expected to be back on the shelves late summer/early fall.
So Armageddon will need to be postponed until after that date.

I'm half Hungarian, but I'm married, so my sausage is not available for smoking.
20 pounds of cheese,40 yards of wire, eight clothespins, 16 #10
envelopes, 2 rolls of duct tape and a gallon of gorilla glue.
Oh,I forgot, an extra pair of underwear and Philnat safety shoes.

Didn't she say 'nice big ones'?
meaning...nice ones, big ones and, since ones is plural, more than one.
Toilet paper and baby wipes for bartering. I'd have most of your stuff in less than two weeks.
And a corkscrew.

Bring a 12 gauge and lots of shells. You'll have their stuff a lot quicker.
