This is funny. YMS 86 sent to the even swankier Kavieng to check for mines and scares off Jap ships unloading. Should have sent Canberra here.

Went to the supermarket to get some fresh vegetables and corned beef they advertised for $1.59 a pound. All gone. They were out of Zatarains gumbo mix and red beans and rice mix too. Annoying. No carts. Giant lines full of surly and anxious idiots. 1/3rd of the humanoids looked like they just ate 6 Adderall tablets. Retards buying $3 a liter flavored waters by the case because all the cheap stuff was gone.

I got the more expensive (not for the Irish) corned beef, some olives and went through self checkout so I couldn't get any booze. Had to go over to Rite Aid to get booze. It looked like AFTER the holocaust. Nobody there. Good price on Beefeaters so I got some. 30+ Martinis, at least. THAT's what I call prepping.

Nice Checkout Clerk: Would you like to use your Wellness Card number?

Me: For gin? <I couldn't help myself. Then I felt bed and tried to recover. How would like to be stuck at Rite Aid in your 50's right before the apocalypse?> Sorry, no thanks. Thank you for working today so everyone can get what they need, like gin.

Nice Checkout Clerk: Oh! Thanks! Have a nice day! <big smile>

Did you pick the Wuhan wet market as ground zero.

No Central Africa. I named my virus Ebola

Along those lines...there was a computer game 'Nuclear War' in the '80s. The 'winner' was the last country with people left alive.

I read about a study on one of the space shuttles. The excrement was going to be freeze dried so it could be studied and a comparison done of the minerals going in with the minerals coming out. The excrement was going to be scattered on a wall, freeze dried, then studied later. The problem was when the excrement hit the fan, it did not scatter.
