    First of all I'd leave work.  Next I'd join .1 at the party.
    
    Donna

    I would want to be with all my loved ones (family and fiancee) and
    spend all the money we all have saved lavishly.  And believe me,
    with my family, it would be "one hell of a shin dig"!

    RE .3
    Oh yes, I almost forgot, I would definitely get married just so
    that I could say I experienced it before I died!  HA! HA!

       	I'd take a moment to pray for my salvation and then party my
       	ass off.. Oh yea, I'd go charge a Ferrari.. :-)

    re: .4 & .5
    
    About getting married and charging a car.  Who would perform the
    cerimony?  Who would fill out the bill of sale on the car?  I do
    not beleive that, when posed the question in .0, that a member of
    the clergy would say "I would perform a marrage cerimony", nor that
    a car salesman would say "I'd like to get in ONE more sale!".
    
    Me?  I'd steal the car and shack up with a girl(s), preferably at
    the party!!!!

    Two thousand-zero-zero party over, out of time.
    
    	Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
    

    I'D BE BUSY KISSING MY GIRLFRIENDS....
    
    ___ GOODBYE......OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. DIE WITH A SMILE
    ON MY FACE ANYWAY.
    

    I would get a dozen or so healthy girls and board a shuttle to the
    moon.  Give a party, lay back and look at he fire works and stay a few
    day.  Make a return trip after the fire works and give another party.  
                    
    I wouldn't think about a car, money, etc.,  because I wouldn't have
    any place to go, or any place to spend money.   Heck with a dozen
    girls or so, why would I need to go any place.

    However, I do worry about burning up during re-entry.    <pun>
    
    

    I would finish debugging my simulation ;-)

    Re: .0
    
    Quite obviously, I'd have to...
    
    Reincarnate somewhere else!  :-)

    Having read enough science fiction stories with this plot, I'd make
    sure I didn't do anything I'd regret if in fact the world did NOT
    end at midnight.
    
    One story I recall (which I saw as a TV episode, probably "Outer
    Limits" or something like that, had the end of the world coming, and
    everyone decided that it would be best to not put the children through
    the misery of whatever it was, so they gave every child some drug that
    made them die in their sleep.  You guessed it - morning came, the world
    was still there, but all the children were gone.

    re:.-1
    The movie was "The Illustrated Man" based on the book of the same
    name by Ray Bradbury.  Actually, in the book, the story ended with
    them going to bed.  Kinda ruined the story by showing the next morning
    if you ask me.

    
    I'd take my family, friends and SO and take them all to 
    Hawaii (I'd have to "borrow" the plane) and throw a party 
    on the beach!!!  

    
    
       I'd go run naked through the snow !!!!
    
    
                                  No, wait a minute, I do that anyway
     
                                              Never Mind

    
    
    I'd get a six pack and watch my Howie Mandel tapes with my lovely
    fiancee!
    
              -Dwight

    since all shopkeepers would probably have flown the coop, I'd
    appropriate myself a damn good feast - cheesecake, brie & french
    bread, Asti Spumante,  and the fixin's for homemade tollhouse cookies.
    
    no particular order here, but I'd try to make sure to:
    watch the sunset and sunrise, bask in the stars and moonlight
    make love with a boyfriend (if I could find him)
       or with someone I'd always wanted to (if I couldn't)
    put on the prettiest, sexiest dress I could find (beg, borrow, or
       steal) and dance in the streets
    hug almost everybody
    build a bonfire on the highest hill and sit around it with my friends,
       just sharing the last few splendid, affirming hours
    set off fireworks
    get a hold of a VCR and watch Raiders of the Lost Ark one last time

    
    -Jody
    

    
    
    
              I'd take a nap  
                              . . .
                                     and "go out" dreamin'

    Who would have time to party? I'd grab my SO and off we'd go...

    
                                 
                              PROCRASTINATE as usual...
                                                
                                               
                                               

        If I were the only one who knew I'd call my wife and have her
    come home from work.  I'd pick up my son and we'd all go to the
    park or something and have wonderful things to eat and drink. We'd
    probably put our son to bed at his usual time, then we'd spend the
    evening together.
    
        If everyone knew I doubt that my wife and I would ever get another
    chance to even speak to each other.  The phone lines would be jammed,
    and the roads would be impossible.  Men with power fantasies would
    probably be roaming the streets getting everything they could attacking
    women they find desireable and and killing anyone who got in their
    way.  I'd probably try to make it to where my son goes to preschool
    (1 mile away).  If that seemed impossible (the world was already
    too insane I'd stay here and help protect the people I work with
    if necessary.

    in re .23
    
    Your reply is kind of how I reacted to the note. I would want to
    be with the people I most love at such a time, but realistically
    it would be almost impossible to reach them. I'd end up spending
    the last few hours of the world with people I know only casually.
    
    Bonnie

    
    I'd go to "another facility" and pass the time with 
    someone I know there...

    Where's your Deadpan dry sense of humor?

    
    
    
    
            I would say thats the first thing god's done right.
     
    
    
    

    I'd be scared as hell!!!!!!!!!!
    
    And to be honest with you, partying would be out of the question!
    
    Never have died before and still afraid of the unknown!!!!
    
    Tam

    
    I agree that partying might be unwise.  I can just bet that judgment
    day would be murder with a hangover!  
    
    ;^D
    
    Marion

    
    
    First I would cook up one h*ll of a meal for me and my fiance, then
    all the wonderful table scraps (of filet mignon, baked lobster stuffed
    with crabmeat.....etc.....and STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE for dessert)
    to our two cats and dog.  I wouldn't have to worry about them getting
    worms from all that good stuff and I wouldn't have to worry about
    ME getting fat from all that good stuff!  Would it really matter?
    
    Then I'd call Mom, and talk for hours.  She lives in MA and I live
    in CA so we're real cautious about keeping the phone bill down,
    but not on that day!
    
    Then I'd grab my fiance, snuggle REAL CLOSE on the couch, and listen
    to our Steely Dan compact disc over and over again.....
    
    Cherie
    

    To heck with the meals and such.... I would sit the evening out
    with my wife discussing the most special times of my life and thank
    her for every minute of it, and then lay there with her in my arms.
    there could be no better way of leaving this world or any other.
    

    
    I would continue doing what I have been doing as a living human
    being until ..........
    
      IT IS PART OF FAITH, and no one can change that.

    re: .0
    
    Take out fron page ad: THE END has been cancelled, then watch in
    sadistic humour at the people who did stupid things expecting the
    end would come.
    
    By the way, the world did  end, but not at midnight EST, but for
    290 people on Air Iran ....
    
    Bob

    If everyone believes that the world will end tomorrow, it probably
    will.

    smoke some good pot
    have a couple of drinks
    and read all the books i've been meaning to read
    
    that was a joke
    
    really....i'd call everyone that i owe a call to and tell them
    what they meant to me, how glad i was that they were in my life....
    and then i'd take my daughters out for a long, leisurely dinner....
    to say goodby
    
    

    I'd smile and say "It was good while it lasted" and then go on whatever
    I was doing at the time....
    
    Bill
    

    I'd find the "DUKE" and tell him what I thought of him face to face!!
