02/04/2004 Entry: "Build your fallout shelter."

Let's try out another poll. Either we're at war, toxic asteroids are falling, or some other great catastrophe is going on that causes you to head underground, alone, to a small fallout shelter you built for just such an occasion. It's a special fallout shelter -- no phones, but you took the time to add battery-operated TV/VCR combos so you can watch videos while the world explodes. What do you take down there -- movies, books or whatever else, to keep yourself occupied for the many weeks or possibly even months? What kind of fallout shelter are you running?

Wow, first comment.

This is one of those questions like the "who would you want to have dinner with, living or dead" and the safe conventional answer is Jesus or Ghandi or Shakespeare.

But your really thinking of inviting the 15 minute celebrity of the moment.

* A copy of "Big Trouble in Little China"; because it's 'all in the reflexes'.

*A copy of "The Lord of the rings"; the book, not the films

*The board game "Keys to the Kingdom"; because no one else knows about it or how to play it and I'll win every time.

*A chainsaw, so as to compete in any Thunderdome festivities.

*A universal remote, to conveniently tune out any invading beautiful blonde T-Xes.

*A pool table.

*A priority shipping package, in case Kevin Costner stops by to pick up my mail.

*A tire iron, with which to fong Kevin Costner in the skull for making "Waterworld".

*The "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" DVD

*Kegs, upon kegs, upon kegs of bootlegged Octo-cooler and MGD.

*A Rubix cube, when I feel like killing myself.

*My girlfriend, naturally

*And the assorted neccesities of life.

Hmmm... Ditto on the Sailormoon tapes, though I'd like the first season in japanese. All the old Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, so I can sing and dance in peace. The Wheel of Time books (which in the imaginary senario would already be finished) Lord of the Rings DVDs... yummy fellas. A few girly porn type romance books. Lots of yarn for crocheting (to keep my hands busy)
And some hot young thing to keep everything else busy.

My guitars - I've been neglecting Isabella Rosalita and Stinky.

My CDs - I need the inspiration to play my guitar.

Mad Libs - I would need a pencil, too. One with a crazy long eraser.

PS2, N64, Genesis, and NES + games - I have so many freaking RPGs and adventure games which I haven't finished due to new releases.

A shite load of good beer - Only PBR, High Life, Schlitz, and Schaefer need apply. Maybe some Jack Daniels for boilermakers.

Ganja - I think nuclear fallout would be a good time to pick up an old habit.

Uma Thurman - Hey, I will need someone to play Mad Libs with. Of course, she can bring whatever she likes, too... as long as it isn't competition. It's just her and I playing Mad Libs, baby.

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 02/04/2004 09:19 AM EST

i would bring the matrix trilogy and use the time to decifer what the hell is going on in that movie.

Chestnuts roasted by mikey @ 02/04/2004 09:20 AM EST

-books
-my laptop and my games: the sims, zoo tycoon, roller coaster tycoon and simcity
-my boyfriend (he's a computer tech so if anything goes wrong with my laptop and I can't play my games anymore he can fix it)

...and the usual stuff like food, water, a chef, maid, butler, personal assistant, massage therapist, therapist...

Chestnuts roasted by Jen @ 02/04/2004 09:27 AM EST

I'd definitely want to have some books down there -- particularly the complete works of Plato and collections of short stories by Kafka, Poe, Hawthorne, and Flannery O'Connor (to name a few). My dvd collection (along with the means to watch it) would also be nice to have.

And a number of legal pads and a large supply of pens, so I could continue to write my own fiction, god-and-creativity/inspiration-willing.

Other than that? I'd really want to have my toys down there, and my digital camera, and my computer, with a broadband connection, so I could continue to update SC with toy comics (and dvd reviews). I'm sure you'd do the same with X-E, Matt.

Oh, and I guess we'd all starve without food...so I'd also want my shelter to have a tunnel that led to an underground lake, on the shore of which lived a number of fishermen and Japanese sushi chefs who worked together and offered up the resultant wares for free.

And I guess mundane stuff like purple toothbrushes and baking soda toothpaste and comfortable toilet paper, etc., would be necessary too.

Interesting poll, Matt. :) You wouldn't happen to be so worried about the future that you're starting construction on one of these shelters, with this poll being a way for you to get suggestions, would you?

I wouldn't blame you.

Chestnuts roasted by Wes @ 02/04/2004 09:35 AM EST

-My Game Boy Advance and a slew of games

-All of the LotR movies & books

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 02/04/2004 09:42 AM EST

Hopefully there's a dvd player down there, too... I'd take my simpsons dvds b/c I could watch them over and over. I'd throw a few other movies in, too, like The House of Yes and whatever else I could run off with. I'd also take a few books, but not too many b/c I'm a slow reader. I'd go back and reread some of the Harry Potter books and take a few more I've been meaning to read but haven't.

The gamecube was a good idea, too. Definitely Mario Kart Double Dash and Wind Waker would go with me since I've been too lazy to actually finish it. Animal Crossing, too, since it's addictive and literally gives you something to do every day.

And my bomb shelter wouldn't be complete without a few He-Man toys scattered about. I'd have to take those to set up around the place.

MATT: by the way, thanks for helping us .org members out with the SAVE THIS MAN link on the main page. That's very cool of you. Hopefully the petition will either not be needed or it will help if the line is in trouble. All the support we can get is welcome! You rule.

Chestnuts roasted by hammington @ 02/04/2004 09:49 AM EST

I would take:

Nicole Kidman
Liv Tyler
Miranda Otto
Keira Knightley
Famke Janssen

and a copy of "How to Get Girls With Hypnosis". I wouldn't need anything else to keep me entertained... ;)

I'm glad malibupete and me are the only guys worried about our sex lives while being stuck in a hole for a week or a month.

and nachokhaki too, his is just a little more under the radar.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/04/2004 10:40 AM EST

I would bring nothing and take the opportunity to meditate and reflect on the rhythm of the beating heart of the Universal Soul Fire.

Bwa-ha-ha-haaa!

I'm just kidding: I'm a child of the massively consumerist '80s and a bookworm to boot. Of course I'd take shit with me!

Because I've been effectively trained out of bachelorettehood, I immediately asked my girlfriend (which takes care of the sex life problem) what we would take, and we came up with a list:

• Our five cats who are extrememly entertaining. Also, something to kill the smell of the litter.

• Nonperishables. Spongebob comestibles probably count.

• Various books that we haven't had time to read between work and school. For me, the literature I didn't get a chance to read when I was working on my English degree and a box or two of old horror/suspense/sci-fi-themed comic books. And other art books.

• Paper and inks and pencils for drawing.

• You know, Legos are a really great way to pass a lot of time. Of course, I'd probably have to learn the kitty Heimlich.

• Old-timey DVDs like her Lauren Bacall and my Vincent Price movies. Especially The Last Man on Earth. Hell, I like apocalyptic movies at the best of times.

• My Old Timey Radio CDs (The Shadow, X Minus 1, etc.) and whatever music I could grab on my way down.

Chestnuts roasted by Molten @ 02/04/2004 10:57 AM EST

-My Journal and a gross of pens

-My husband

-My sons

-LoTR books and movies

-Indiana Jones trilogy

-Crossword puzzle magazines

-All of Stephen Kings novels ("The Stand" alone should keep me busy for a while)

-Endless supply of Salsa Doritos

Good poll, Matt. You'll get a chance to see from this question how different your readers are.

Chestnuts roasted by Kookie @ 02/04/2004 11:11 AM EST

I would take 3 or 4 of my good friends with me, and then
-My GameBoy (I'm a Pokefanboy)
-Discman (mmmm The Clash)
-One nice comfy single bed
Then I'd see how long it would take my friends to get bored with talking about the same stuff we always do.
And how long it would take them to turn on me and eventually eat me because they are lacking entertainment.

Chestnuts roasted by Brrent @ 02/04/2004 11:18 AM EST

First I would bring my important books: Complete works of Shakespeare, Poe, Twain, Azimov, Heinlein, Steve Perry, Guy Gavriel Kay, Piers Anthony, Nietzsche Sagan, Hawking, all the Potter books (I can read them now that there won't be any more movies coming out) and many more.
More books would include: How to learn (insert language here) of every language I can find.
I would bring a guitar and a piano plus learning manuels.
I would also bring a huge TV and entertainment center with all of the consoles and a kickass computer which I will aquire during the pre-apocolyptic looting.
I will walk into my factory (I build catamrans www.endeavourcats.com) and walk out with several generators (diesel, solar, wind), a watermaker, all the radios I can fit.
I will bring the important DVD movies: Legend, Princess Bride, Goonies, Dark Crystal, True Romance, Starwars, LOtR, MTS3K collection, Indiana Jones, Six-String Samurai, any Peter Jackson, NeverEnding Story, Labyrinth, Willow, Crouching Tiger, Well ALL MOVIES!
I will bring various manuels and videos on Martail Arts to continue my training amd protect myself from the post-apocolyptic looters.
And, of course, a picture of my mom.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 02/04/2004 11:29 AM EST

Oh, and a monkey. Monkeys are cool.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 02/04/2004 11:34 AM EST

Each and every one of the X-E blog regulars, all with a significant portion of their various collections of cool old toys, DVDs, books, and video games. I figure between all of us, we should be able to keep ourselves entertained for a long, LONG time to come. Also, lots of TVs to cut down on the fighting. (Because I really don't want to be arguing with anyone about why my continuous Simpsons/Family Guy/Adult Swim marathon eliminates any hope of them watching Sailor Moon, well, ever, f'r instance.)

As for the whole supermodel thing... enh. I'd rather keep it to stuff I could actually lay my hands on without too much trouble (and chloroform). Besides, with all of us 20-somethings down there, you know that celibacy ain't really gonna be much of an issue. (Because I am NOT gonna be that one guy who can't get laid in a friggin' isolated bomb shelter...)

Chestnuts roasted by The Lucky One @ 02/04/2004 11:37 AM EST

I'd bring my PS2 and 2 of the longest games i have ever played Xenogears and Dragon Warrior VII.

On DVD I'd bring the 3 simpsons box sets released so far, my transformers season one box set, my martian sucessro nadesico box set, and martain sucessor nadesico the movie, and finally my Slayers box set.

On Book i'd bring my complete works of shakespeare, my colelction of H.P. Lovecraft Short stories, The Silmarillion, hobit, and LOTR, The Jedi Academey Trilogy.

Comic books i'd bring Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller Vol 2, The Essential X-men vol 1-4, The essential Iron Man, All 10 volumes of the Sandman, Marvel Masterworks Avengers, and Essential Fantastic Four vol 1-3

Finally I'd bring a computer with dsl or cable connection and the games Ragnarok Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and Final Fantasy XI.

Chestnuts roasted by Bright Noah @ 02/04/2004 11:46 AM EST

well if it was my shelter, I'd definatly bring my complete series of freakazoid,

every mst3k ever made, including the movie.

all of my philosopy books, and my two orweillian books, 1984, and animal farm

a sword, just cuz it'd be nice to learn how to use one, any kind.

my drumset, there'll be plenty of guitarists in the new world order, I'll have my pick for my new ska band.....

my entire cd collection, gotta have something to practice drums w/.

my ps2 w/ my 2 fav games, Devil May Cry, and Disgaea, Hour of Darkness

instructions for masage (eastern and western), acupuncture, Ki Gong, Kung Foo...etc

somebody to practice on. preferably somebody hot, and of the oposite sex.

an archive of every article, and post ever appearing, or even mentioned on x-e.

my talking yoda (he answers basically "yes," "no," or "squeeze to hard you have." along with all my other office toys that are ok at passing time.

and on a seperate note I think Disgaea is most likely longer than the two mentioned by bright noah. seeing as I've been playing for over 80 hours and my highest level character is 29 of a possible 9999. every equipable item, as well as the usable ones have an item world with anywhere between 30, and 100 levels of their own. also has the best feature ever in rpg games...new game +.

also last night I was watching Lost in Translation w/ my wife, (odd movie) durring a scene where they were singing karaoke on the movie my wife turned to me and said. "at least they have karaoke in Japan." I don't know what she meant to say, but that's damn funny.

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 02/04/2004 12:39 PM EST

Hmmmmm...
1. I'd bring books, first and foremost.
2. Before I brought books, I'd take a few friends. They can carry more things than I can (however they have no choice in what things are chosen). Friends must be willing to "experiment" and "follow orders."
3. As much rice snacks as we can carry.
4. More books.
5. A gun (gotta keep the friends in line).
6. Ramen noodles, ramen noodles, ramen noodles.
7. My movie library, and my friends', and whatever we could grab from Movie Gallery in the riotous chaos.
8. Pencil, paper, and more guns.
9. Alcohol and possibly something equitably potent.

brandon. I watched lost in translation in the theaters, I won a free ticket to the premier. i didn't know what to expect because I never heard of it, and I love bill murray. I thought the movie was well acted, and pretty good. FAR from funny. and FAR from worthy of all the awards it's been getting. Too me, there really wasn't much comedy or plot. Bill Murray is awesome though, and I think he made the movie worth watching regardless.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/04/2004 12:59 PM EST

My sister, the one who died once already, is in the reserves and is right now getting ready with her unit to go to Iraq. She could hook me up with M(eals) R(ejected by) E(thiopia)s and those spooky sandwiches that stay fresh for five years. Theres a few caves round these parts for shelter, but a well-stocked hole would be located under my dream home (a smallish castle out in the country, with RV hookups in the courtyard for friends, if I ever win a few million dollars, everyones invited to a housewarming at Castle TimeLost) and have full collections of Isaac Asimov, Harlan Ellison, Arthur C. Clarke, E. E. "Doc" Smith, Stephen "Hey, is that a van?" King, First and Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, All the Ring books, Collections of Greek, Norse, Japanese, Irish, Russian, and of course my own tribal Myths and Legends (and many other ethnic groups I may have forgotten to mention), pretty much entire sections of libraries and bookstores. Various volumes of how-to manuals, some to use, some to trade. Too many videos to count. A lot of art supplies. All my old video games. All my TansFormers. A computer with at least a decent word processing setup. Hallowe'en decorations. Giant flyswatter (I have one somewhere). Bible, of course. My Rubik's Cube. A ton of my diabetic supplies. My copies of "Duende Meadow" and "Alas, Babylon." Risk 2120, Dungeon, OuiJa board, cards (Playing and Tarot). Whoopie cushion. And a girl of high intelligance, great sense of humor, who'll fight by my side as we battle hordes of zombies who want my issues of Amalgam Comics.

-My big ol' collection of MST3K tapes.
-My boyfriend and his big ol' collection of Superman TV shows.
-Several metric tonnes of macaroni 'n' cheese (maybe even the Spongebob kind!)
-My elderly Windows 98 laptop with the broken LCD monitor (it may be suffering from the beginnings of Computer Alzheimer's, but at least I can burn CDs with my fun new external drive!)
-My M*A*S*H collection: the movie, the TV shows, the book, and the script for the very-cleaned-up play.
-My kitten, for entertainment purposes. He's still at the stage where he is physically able to jump 4 feet in the air for no reason.
-Any books by Douglas Adams, Dave Barry, Fran Lebowitz, Art Buchwald, or Garrison Keillor.
-My clarinet, lest I forget my band geek upbringing.
-All 4 seasons (series? seriesesesessess?) of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
-A rather large collection of CDs, including 80s music, show tunes, Josh Groban, BNL, Billy Joel, Genesis, Elton John, and Barry White.
-A hamster, just because I've always wanted a hamster.

Things I would take:

1) a radio (it would be nice to know if the world is actually totally destroyed)

2)more books than you can shake a fist at, primarily romantic poets and English novels, with some Hawthorne, Melville, and Poe to shake things up.

3)complete works of Nietzsche.

4)The Bible, and Book of Common Prayer

5)some other people (namely loved ones)

6)a Towell. Always carry one.

7)DVDs, NES games, etc.

Hey, Brandon,

Ain't the Disgaea game the best game ever? That is one I will definitely be spending a lot of my time in the shelter working on. I'm on hour 76, and my highest character is 31. I've already transmigrated Laharl twice, though. Just taking my time, enjoying the item world mostly.

Uma Thurman told me she just LOVES strategy RPGs. I'm so in like Flint.

- weights so when I finally step out the bomb shelter I don't collapse in a heap because my legs are all weak
- the holy books of every major world religion, just in case Jesus/Allah/Buddha/Yahweh/Satan stops by
- TV shows: every season of Night Court, Newsradio, Bugs Bunny & Tweety, Family Guy, Simpsons seasons 2-8, SCTV, and any show with an appearance by Dave Chapelle
- Movies: Shawshank Redemption, The Ref, 12 Monkeys, Dazed and Confused, every Alfred Hitchcock movie made, and Jackass: The Movie (those last two because I haven't seen em yet)
- Games: Super Mario Bros. 2; Madden 2004 and NHL 2004 for X-Box
- People: as many friends as can fit comfortably, with a corresponding amount of members of the fairer sex...as another poster said, we're in our mid-20s so no encouragement is needed. If Ash from Army of Darkness happens by with his boomstick, someone will be voted off the island to make room.

Chestnuts roasted by Hecubus @ 02/04/2004 03:30 PM EST

Well, first off, I’d pick out five different jigsaw puzzles, dump all of the pieces in a bag and throw away the boxes. I figure doing them would keep me busy until I went insane and didn’t care about the boredom anymore.

In case I still had any sanity left, I’d bring a huge stack of notebooks and sharpened pencils (and a pencil sharpener, so I don’t end up like that shipwrecked artist on Spongebob Squarepants episode #424. It all comes back around, baby). All of those story ideas that have been rolling around in my head could finally be written down, but since you can’t start a new story in an old notebook, I’d need new a notebook for every single idea.

I’d also have to bring the GC and a Luigi’s Mansion. I never tire of hearing Luigi call for Mario. “Mario? MAAAR-io!”

All of my Stephen King books.

All of my Ann Rule books.

The Grapes of Wrath.

All of my books on Billy the Kid.

My Freaks and Geeks DVDs (if they arrive before the apocalypse).

Stand By Me, The Breakfast Club, Fight Club, Man in the Moon, and all of my taped Carnivale episodes.

Cinnamon candies and Special Dark candy bars.

An engine block and all appropriate tools so I could take it apart and then put it back together (yes, I’m weird).

I guess I’d bring my husband and kids, although there’s no way I’m listing all of the crap I’d have to bring along for them.

Hey, Stilewalker, great DVD picks! Haven’t you always wanted a monkey?

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 02/04/2004 03:37 PM EST

My computer. As long as I have music and freecell I'm ok.
And for when the screen starts making my eyes hurt, my Grisham, Tolkien, Karl May, and Harry Potter books books.

Oh and the first LotR movie ,Shrek, and my old PSX with Vagrant Story and Metal Gear Solid.

Chestnuts roasted by David @ 02/04/2004 04:00 PM EST

Food. Seriously. Lots and lots of food... nothing else is more entertaining or fulfilling. My fallout shelter would be a veritable gingerbread house.

Chestnuts roasted by Samila @ 02/04/2004 04:04 PM EST

What I like most of all is that almost everyone has listed their various significant others basically as afterthoughts on the list. "Let's see, I'll need my Transformers and He-Mans, my Simpsons and Sailor Moon DVDs, definitely all my REM CDs, hmmm, maybe some Raymond Chandler books, last week's Toyfare, my comic book collection, the complete works of Shakespeare, a back scratcher, some chewing gum, that marble I found under the couch yesterday... I think that's everything. Oh wait, I guess we can probably fit the girlfriend in there too. You know, if she's cool with the idea of sharing me and all." Clearly monogamy is all it's cracked up to be. *wink*

Chestnuts roasted by The Lucky One @ 02/04/2004 04:05 PM EST

my lego collection would keep me more than busy enough...

but i'd have my cat and hamster with me too.

a radio / tv / computer would be nice if they were still broadcasting/online.

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 02/04/2004 04:34 PM EST

I would kidnap Matt, the entire Something Awful crew (including Leonard J. Crabs) and Terry Pratchett and lock them in my shelter at gunpoint, where they'll be forced to write things that may or may not be funny until such time that they cannot write anymore, for example because they've starved to death or because the cats I've brought accidentally shot them. Also, I'd get old male G.I. Joe action figures and make short stop-motion animated movies with them, set in the Blue Oyster bar from Police Academy, for my own amusement.

Chestnuts roasted by JC @ 02/04/2004 04:35 PM EST

Yeah, I'd have to bring my cat. And a super futuristic litterbox that would get rid of the cat poo somehow. And all the boring 'necessary to survive' crap. More importantly, I'd bring like every book and DVD I own, even the crappy ones because who knows what I'll want to watch, and a computer obviously, and PS2 and both FFX and FFX2, who knows maybe I will actually finish them. Oh, and I would have the Sims on my computer because you can play that game for like 10 hours without getting bored. I guess I would bring some of my friends too, but not many since I need my alone time or I get twitchy. Oh, and I will bring lots of ice cream, because if I'm stuck in a fallout shelter I won't need to be in bikini shape so my ass can get as fat as it wants. But I'd bring a kicking bag and some free weights too, because once the apocalypse was over my Tang Soo Do instructor would expect me back in class, in tip top shape.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 02/04/2004 05:10 PM EST

I'd have to bring my computer so that I could watch my massive Divx collection of every episode of Carnivale, Invader Zim, Family Guy, Boy Meets World, Kids in the Hall, The Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos (the world's not ending until after the new season, right?) and play my 14,000 ROMS and eighty gajillion MP3s. Of course I'd bring my MST collection.
Books: As far as favorites go, I'd bring Harry Potter, the Ramona Books, the Star Wars "Tales" books, my Johnny the Homocidal Maniac and Squee! comic books, 100 Years of Solitude and anything else by Gabriel Garcia Marquez I could get my hands on, and Gone With the Wind. I'd also bring LOTR so I'd have something new to read.
Since Matt did specify *alone* I won't mention how I'd also be bringing along Johnny Depp and lots and lots of rum.

-All my manga

Chestnuts roasted by Hyper dingo @ 02/04/2004 05:27 PM EST

First, the essentials.

-Food. Lots of nonparishables. And a can opener and a small cooking stove so I don't have to live on cold ravioli.

-Water. Tons of water, since I'll get thirsty, of course. Also some "junk water," not for drinking but for bathing.

-Vitamin supplements, so I can be sure to flesh out my diet with all the essential minerals. Gotta stay fit, you know, iof I'm going to re-build the world after the Apocalypse!

-My bow and arrows, so if necessary, I can hunt for food. Or just practice shooting at the wall in my spare time. :P

-A whole bleepin' lotta batteries. Double A, Triple A, D, those tiny watch batteries...

-Extension cord. You know, in care the electricity still works...

-My bed, my pillows, and plenty of blankets.

-Toilet paper and tissues.

-OK, this is really childish to say, but my favorite stuffed animals. Will, Spot, and Tiny, who are all stuffed orcas in one way or another; Wally, who is a stuffed watermelon with a face; Cozy Heart, who is a purple penguin and a Care Bear Cousin; Infinice, a blue Kacheek from Neopets; Lionel, who is a large red and yellow dragon; Blaze who is a smaller yellow and blue dragon; and finally Stitches, who is a blue and pink dragon.

Secondly, the company!

-My best friend Glenn. And his foil(fencing sword), because even though it's not really a SHARP sword it works well in self-defence and he could probably fend off the nuclear mutants created in the wake of all the bombing.

-My online friends: Fairi, Alezia, Geebs, Dead, and whatever of their real-life friends they could squeeze in.

-My little sister Sarah, because even if she is a nusaince sometimes, the world wouldn't be the same without her.

-All the members of my anime club, and my friend Erin. After all, Jesus did say, "The geek will inherit the earth." Or was it the MEEK...? Oh well. One letter. No big diffrence.

-Cartoonists Bill Amend and Bill Watterson, because these two write(or use to to write, anyway) the funniest stuff this side of the Pacific.

-Matt.

-And, if I could manage it, the band Smashmouth and the singer Phil Collins. ^^

Finally, the entertainment!

-My computer. Duh.

-All of my video games, for GB, GBA, and N64. Also the respective systems, and extra controllers and link cables for multiplayer fun.

-All my favorite CD's, and a stereo. No a CD player. CD players tend to break in my hands, but the stero is fairly stable.

-My entire DVD and VHS collection.

-The TV.

-My violin, wooden flute, and three synthesizers, to make my own music.

-My Prismacolor pencils, Micron pen, and my million unused and half-used sketchbooks.

-Scanner and printer. Makes sense.

Oh, and I totally forgot! All of my books. I must have all my books! *hugs them to her*

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/04/2004 05:52 PM EST

A few classic movies and a few porn movies, along with a movie-editing machine.

Can I make a porn version of casablanca with a coherant story? Time will tell.

I'd sure wish the world was still there to see my wonderful end result.

Chestnuts roasted by Frog @ 02/04/2004 06:02 PM EST

I read a story once where the main character had some kind of VR deck that he used to change movies around and he would post them on the 'net. Moby Dick with Bogart as Ahab and a Pink Floyd soundtrack. Had a hard time using Eastwood, "There was a woodeness I couldn't quite shake."

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/04/2004 06:09 PM EST

I'll be set with my anime and videogame collections. I'd also need some good movies: The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Terminator 2, The Exorcist, Aliens, Fiddler on the Roof, Killer Klowns From Outer Space...

Chestnuts roasted by God Animagnus @ 02/04/2004 06:15 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by spiderbites @ 02/04/2004 07:11 PM EST

I'd take my Van Halen and KISS CD's down there with me for sure, my Star Wars trilogy, may bring the Special Editions but very well may let them be destroyed with the rest of the world. Indiana Jones trilogy, acoustic guitar since my electric would probably be useless. I'd try to lug my big boxes full of comics down there, there's enough reading in those box's for a lifetime or two. Would attempt to take my X-Box with me, but would probably find out I couldn't use the thing so I would settle for the GBA with a few games to keep me occupied. As for food... hmm... now that's where I'm stumped. This reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the guy loves books, the world comes to an end and he's left in the rubble of a library with a bunch of books lying around, but he stumbles and falls and breaks his glasses so he can't read em.

Chestnuts roasted by Justus Cade @ 02/04/2004 07:44 PM EST

Good choice for a poll Matt.... Lets see, obviously I'd take food, a lot of food, my Xbox and Ps2, every CD and DVD I own, my 15 tapes of nothing but episodes of The Simpsons. A lot of books, but I dont know what... Probably about 500 blank note books to collect my thoughts to help keep me sane. Some musical instrument, maybe a guitar, violin, something I could learn to play. Maybe the complete works of Shakespear, expand my mind a bit while Im there.

Chestnuts roasted by The Dude @ 02/04/2004 08:51 PM EST

I'd print off the Photog/Bitner story and keep it close by.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike @ 02/04/2004 08:56 PM EST

Definately I'd bring Nathan Bitner so he could entertain me with his life story

Chestnuts roasted by Spiffy McKracken @ 02/04/2004 08:59 PM EST

BOOKS:

MOVIES:

OTHERS:

An NES system, a handful of Mario and Zelda games, My Far Side collection, a bunch of old Mountain Dew bottles for decorationg, and a TiVo. Don't have to have a TV, I just want to boast that I have one.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 02/04/2004 09:32 PM EST

You haven't seen Transformers the movie? I thought that was required viewing for regulars to the site

Chestnuts roasted by Spiffy McKracken @ 02/04/2004 09:33 PM EST

Starwenn nearly falls over laughing at all the hilarious responses, from significant others and English poetry to Uma Thurman and whores. This was a GREAT question, Matt!

But seriously, folks, I would bring everything that's currently in my apartment - food, popcorn maker, popcorn, TV, VCR, books (lots of mysteries), comics, computer, radio, old-time radio shows, CDs, toys, "Star Wars" collectables, cassettes, the Sega Genesis and its games, pens, pencils, disks, journal, videos, cookbooks, and my stove, since I'm a bake-a-holic. (Betty Crocker must love me.) I would also bring my brother, my friend, and her nephew, my online friend (if I could get her down here) and their respective collections - I'll have someone to talk to and the boys will have a chance to grow up.

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 02/04/2004 09:43 PM EST

Wait a minute...

In the event of one of the aforementioned tragedies, X-E will continue to be updated. Right? Right? Sure it will. I have faith. ;)

-Tobasco sauce because there is no better way to eat kentucky fried nuclear mutant.
-Bib with a cute logo of a human-headed lobster on it for eating said muntants.
-A monkey, so when the apes take over I can say "I'm with him".

Chestnuts roasted by chris @ 02/04/2004 10:20 PM EST

food, water, computer (would the internet work?), books and one book on "how to survive nuclear war/asteroids", my teddy bear ;o), my cats & cat food, kitty litter tray, a bed, mobile phone, all of my brothers videos and dvds (he has, like, over 120 videos alone), radio, cd player- cds, magazines, photos and that is all i can think of.

the type of fallout shelter i am running is one for my own pleasure and comfort- and my cats comfort ;o)

Chestnuts roasted by Rachel Cakes @ 02/04/2004 10:40 PM EST

Oh and Red Dwarf.. Definatly every single episode of Red Dwarf..

Chestnuts roasted by Cya- Lister @ 02/04/2004 11:24 PM EST

The list of things I could probably never do without [in no particular order]...

1) A copy of every Hammer film [that's the horror movie people, not M.C. Hammer... that movie he was in with rowdy roddy piper makes me gag, it's even worse than "Hell comes to frogtown"].

2) The DVD release of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for, the VHS copy would never last.

3) A copy of "The Goonies"

4) "Scarface"

5) Every John Hughes movie, except the ones which really suck... no, wait... those too.

6) A deck of poker cards to play solitaire with.

7) Atleast seven people who I invite to come live with me, so that I can eat them when I grow tired of beanie weenies.

8) Assorted chef boyardee canned foods, mac-n-cheese, ramen noodles, etc. for food.

9) probably the xbox, and morrowind.

10) My NES and mutherforking Ninja Gaiden!

11) Contra and Super C

12) All the wisdom tree Biblical NES games [hell, during armageddon, may as well play crappy bible games].

13) a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 owner's manual [pr0n].

Hopefully... my DeLorean arrives by tues... I'm tired of waiting... but with my luck, the end of the world will be tomorrow, and I'll never see that shiny stainless beauty.

Chestnuts roasted by gesis @ 02/05/2004 12:16 AM EST

a stack of anal and scat videos

vaseline

a large dog or goat of some sort

a case of "big red" cola

Chestnuts roasted by Brown Hole @ 02/05/2004 12:30 AM EST

My guitar... my notebook that I write in (mostly rambling, melodramatic, pseudo-intellectual bullshit)... my batman action figure and some drugs. Yes, I think that will do.

Chestnuts roasted by Kristen @ 02/05/2004 01:01 AM EST

Yes definately Morrowind... and Knights of the Old Republic. GTA Double Pack, those games right there could last me for awhile.

Chestnuts roasted by Justus Cade @ 02/05/2004 02:16 AM EST

Assuming I had infinite resources such as food and electricity, I'd take...
-All 248 of my videogames, and their respective platforms.
-My PC
-Weapons to fend off mutants

And if time permitted:
-Any books and DVDs I could grab
-Pencils and paper for drawing stuff or recording my mad ramblings
-My box of ninja figurines and Jenga set
-Some favorite action figures for atmosphere.

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 02/05/2004 03:17 AM EST

Something else i forgot:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail Special Edition DVD

and the factory service manual for my car...1500 or so pages of repairs and diagrams...pass some time i guess XD

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 02/05/2004 04:55 AM EST

Um, probably some.. like... stuff?

I dunno. Probably pick up a few DVD boxed sets. Probably get, like, every single book about Middle Earth ever, just so I could be a huge nerd and know absoloutely everything when I got out....

Ummm... Music? That's good. Take some of that. Maybe a book on Norse mythology. Always meant to get into that.

*shrugs*

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 02/05/2004 04:58 AM EST

3 napkins, 1 packet of lime jello, and a shoehorn.

Chestnuts roasted by Solarmanite @ 02/05/2004 07:29 AM EST

Gah! Almost forgot... a box of cotton swabs. They're critical to making the jello "less hostile".

Chestnuts roasted by Solarmanite @ 02/05/2004 07:36 AM EST

"-A monkey, so when the apes take over I can say "I'm with him"."

Hee!

Ok, so, a question about these mutants. Are they people already living, exposed to radiation and therefore mutantified? Or are they the spawn of the people who never made it underground? Cuz, damn, what if one of those mutants looked like Matt? Would you blow him away or invite him in?

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 02/05/2004 08:36 AM EST

trajeal - Shoot first. If all goes as planned and it is the true Matt and not some imposter, he can use his new mutant healing factor to heal the gunshot wounds.

Freezair was the smartest response in that toilet paper was remembered. I am deffinately adding that on my list. There will be lots of looting of Sams Club at the end.

Mac Guy Ver - A4 paper does not exist. It is a myth put out by crazy foreigners to bother Americans. I say this because I can't find the stuff anywhere!

see! chris understands why I want the monkey!

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 02/05/2004 09:21 AM EST

so am I going to be one of the mutants now, seeing as I'm not going into a shelter?
And I'm sorry to say this Stilewalker, but you're wrong. I've got some A4-paper right here next to me. Although I am a crazy foreigner so maybe that doesn't count.

Chestnuts roasted by Iivuli @ 02/05/2004 09:32 AM EST

Totally Funyuns. They'll never go bad as long as you keep them dry. 100 cockroaches can't be wrong.

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 02/05/2004 12:07 PM EST

hmm. what would i have? my PC of course. Hopefully others would have theirs with them. we could network and play battlefield 1942 until the apocalypse is over!

Chestnuts roasted by SHANE! @ 02/05/2004 12:13 PM EST

I'd have to bring those ridiculous Madballs cartoons I got on VHS from eBay. And, I think I would go the route of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, too. I can't get enough of the cartoon itself, and when you add in the live-action segments with Captin Lou, well, then you've got pure gold.

Chestnuts roasted by Brian Hammons @ 02/05/2004 01:23 PM EST

Print/Film versions of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas

All five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy.

In pentitence, I hereby relinquish my kit bag of felonies and Babel fish. I do not deserve them any longer.

I vote that we all meet up at a secret location and lock ourselves in a bomb shelter. It would be a kick ass party, agreed? Besides, with everybody bringing all of this shit I doubt I would ever need to leave anyway.

Actually, I just want somebody to tell their kids: "..And finally it got so out of hand that the 80s generation was locked beneath the earth."

Chestnuts roasted by Matt (#2?) @ 02/05/2004 05:23 PM EST

Maybe we can find and stash Tiger Tails and Chocodiles as well?

Chestnuts roasted by Justus Cade @ 02/05/2004 05:43 PM EST

Well I'd take a battery operated microwave and some bacon for food substance.

As for entertainment. I'd take my copy of Dumb and Dumber, Se7en, Fight Club, MeteorMan, Leonard Part 6, the Indy triology, Amelie, Spaceballs, and someothers.

As for reading I'd take every single one of my comic books to read again as well as my copies of Naked Lunch and Hilary Clintons biography(ha yeah right).

Besides that through in some paper and paints to write and draw and I'd be set for life.

Chestnuts roasted by Don't, Touch Willy @ 02/05/2004 05:44 PM EST

...And thus, it was decreed, that many pop culture mavens were to be sealed away, and promptly forgotten. Until such a time as foretold by the donkey's corpse by the wall at the end of the world, they shall be released and fed with the sacred supply of Hostess product. And hosed down, by the way, because by that time, the funk should be enough to cause amnesia or cause Liberace to rise from his grave, I mean.... ahem, heh, uummm, And upon emerging, bring about a New Age upon the ravaged Earth. Free from predjudice, ignorance, lawlessness, and Dave Coulier. Providing they don't get beat down by worshippers of Homestar Runner, or Farkers, or those goth/furry people, in which case, I'm hiding out at Castle TimeLost, with my Wurlitzer jukebox and pong machine, obtained through looting, and making grilled cheese sandwiches until the shouting dies down. Hand me my running shoes, Rawhide is on in five minutes, and the snail is threatening to banjo!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/05/2004 05:56 PM EST

Not that I'm sure any of you care all that much. But I've changed my mind. What can I say I was yound and stupid when I wrote that old list. Now I'm older and wiser.

Lets see...I'd still take the mircowave and bacon. I'd trade all the DVD's for for every episode of The Simpsons.

And I'd take Scarlett Johansson. Jena Malone(Donnie Darko) for when I'm feeling a little bit spicier.

There we go. Much better. After all I'll need someone to share all that bacon with.

Chestnuts roasted by Don't, Touch Willy @ 02/05/2004 06:11 PM EST

Great Topic!

I would bring My complete set of Star Trek Movies, Star Trek: TNG episodes, Star Trek Episodes, my home-made phaser, and of course a razor so I could look like Riker after a few weeks.

Nah! Just kidding!

Hmmm... anything?

I would definitely have to say, after food and water, I would bring Brittany Murphy, an X-Box, and a whole batch of Birth Control Pills (we can't have any little ones coming around).

I'd also bring my shotgun with a whole box of shells, and Charleton Heston's arm... yes, I know he's still alive, but hey--after the fall-out there'd be no one to investigate who the hell cut off Charleton Heston's arm, if anyone even noticed at all.

Is that a little wierd? Oh, and also some Dr. Pepper.

Chestnuts roasted by The Return of Long Duck Dong @ 02/05/2004 06:16 PM EST

Hah! I have been dubbed a having "the smartest idea!" I feel special now.

I would also like to include on my list copius shovels, so that me and my posse can burrow into the secret bunkers of other X-E'rs and we can party out that we have the world to ourselves. Well, ourselves until the dragons, unicorns, phoenixes and other mystical creates that have been in hiding since the onset of humanity come out in its downfall, and share their knowledge with us, the Chosen Ones.

Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 02/05/2004 06:30 PM EST

Yeah, wouldn't mind having Star Trek TNG seasons 2 - 7, but wouldn't have much use for the 1st season since I find those hard to sit through. Star Trek movies 2,3,4, and 6 I would probably like to have with me. My Enterprise B toy, just because it was so darned hard to find and wouldn't want anything to happen to it.

Chestnuts roasted by Justus Cade @ 02/05/2004 08:05 PM EST

I would bring about 1000 of those glow in the dark fish, in case the batteries and electricity fail. At least I will be able to see. I can also use them for food. By the time I finish eating them all I will glow enough myself.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 02/06/2004 08:01 AM EST

kingklash, hee!

Stilewalker, don't forget fish food, or you'll be eating a bunch of dead fish in a few days. I bet they'll really glow in a big, rotting hump.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 02/06/2004 10:06 AM EST

Damn you Freezair, the tunneling idea was mine ! On a side note, those of you who know the Hitchhikers guide will also remember an "imminent world-wide catastrophe" that caused a world to send its population off in arks. It ended up as that worlds way of getting rid of the useless population. Maybe Matt is just tricking us into taking all of our 80s stuff underground so there will be very little of it. This way his collection will skyrocket in value. 6 weeks on Ebay and he'll be a billionare.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 02/06/2004 05:39 PM EST

I'd take my collection of Thomas Haden Church tapes and DVDs, lots and lots of paper, notebooks, pens and pencils so I could draw and write, the Harry Potter series (DVDs and books), my old UMAX c600 Macintosh 7.6.1 to tinker with, all of my Phil Collins, Genesis and Thomas Dolby CDs and, well, either Thomas Haden Church or Hal Sparks for my own amusement.

Chestnuts roasted by AngeFaitore @ 02/07/2004 05:59 PM EST
