    I'd probably return all of my overdue library books first.
    
    Or maybe I'd take a trip to Washington DC to check out the gov't
    archives to find out just how corrupt our government was.
    
    Or maybe I'd...  Hmmm
    
    Tree

    
        roam the wastelands in search of non-contaminated food?
    
        at least i would have my mountain bike, that's the first thing
        that would come in the shelter with me 8^)

Kill myself.

Cry.  Alot.  

    the top 10 things I would do if I were the last living thing on earth !
    
    10. go to Boston and visit the Bull and Finch because there would be no
    line !
    
    9. while in Boston go to Fennway park and re-live Carlton Fisk's home
    run, waving the ball fair while hopping down the 1st base line !
    
    8. go to Gov. Weld's house and drink all the lite beer he has then
    leave in an un-marked state police car, driving drunk at high speeds !
    
    7. park in the handicap zones ! 
    
    6. Talk to myself and not worry others are watching ! 
    
    5. take over all the radio stations and play Day Job over and over....
    	(just in case there might be someone else out there !)
    
    4. play golf at all the best courses in the country, lie about my
    game, and I never have to get a tee time !
    
    3. take over for Dave Letterman !
    
    2. scratch myself in public !
    
    and the number one thing I'd do......
    
    1. go to Graceland and dig up Elvis' grave just to make sure thats
    where he has been.....
     

    Retaliate!
    
    We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when . . .

    This might sound sick (wadda you mean "might", it is sick!) but since
    the question is far out why not a far out answer.
    
    Attempt to revive civilization by copulating with closely related
    species in order to produce a hybrid/cross breed capable of language 
    and other intelligent behavior.
    
    Now this *isn't* what I'd do but it *is* something that someone else
    might do.  In a semi-sick sort of way it might make for an interesting
    sci-fi story.
    
    Besides, if I survived it would be logical to assume that others also
    survived.  Even if those other survivors were few, I'd begin a search
    for others.  Kinda of like "The Stand" with me being Stu R.

    Well, if there were a holocaust and all information systems and
    communication were wiped out, you wouldn't really know that you were
    the only survivor.  I'd probably roam around looking for other people.

I'd roam around searching for others too .. and hope that I don't find
Chris scratching himself!!  :-)                     

    
    re .0
    
    gee, you guys really go in for that light, barroom, chit-chat, huh? 
    ;-)
    
    

    
    
    Yeah, nothing like small talk to get this notesfile stirred up... :^)
    
    Actually, call it manipulative, but most of the reason I decided to
    enter the base note was to see how people'd reply...  Make it humorous?
    Answer it seriously?  Get irked that I even put the topic in?  Make 
    observations about the discussin in general?
    
    It's a strange question no doubt, and Stephen King's Stand came to my
    mind when thinking about this too...

    I had a dream the other night that the whole earth was experiencing 
    a meltdown...It was just heating up and heating up and we all sat and
    watched our arms and legs get charred up....it was intense....I was
    really glad to wake up...

If I were the sole survivor...

First of all, I'm sure that it would be very hard to cope with being the 
last human being on earth, so I would probably search for other survivors.  
Also, I would spend much time searching out edibles.  In my spare time I 
would probably delve deeply into literature about creating test-tube babies 
and would probably try to repopulate the species in that manner.

Of course, I'm sure that the first thing that I would do would be to have a 
stiff drink or 10 and pass out for a day or so:-)

I thought I heard a young man moan this morning....

I thought I heard a baby cry today...

Where have all the people gone?

Scenes from any number of B rated black and white flicks are being conjured 
up. Anyone remember the one where the submarine is below the ocean and there 
is a nuclear war.  The sub surfaces to find NO ONE'S HOME!  So they proceed to 
cruise around looking and searching for life....One of the "gripping scenes" 
was when the communications man hear's a "dot dash dot dash blah blah blah" so 
they slowly search it's source out to find it's a coke bottle hitting a keypad 
for a transmitter somewhere on the 12th floor of an office building.

What would I do?  Wander around (like someone said earlier) looking for
other people because you'd never know you were the only one.  With luck I 
could be like Don Johnson and have a dog with a good nose (A BOY AND HIS DOG 
... good ole Harlan Ellison). :)

	If I were the last human survivor of a nuclear holocost....

	I most certainly would kill myself in a most functional
	way, (mega overdose or whatever) with the fullfillment 
	and extreme satisfaction that I ended the very species that 
	f^cked everything up in the first place! 

	I'd feel like a hero!

   o	Set the kuwaiti oil fields back on fire.

   o	Load 20 miles of stretch cord into the cargo bay of the space
	shuttle, then luanch it and bungie jump back to earth.

   o	Go to NORAD and dispatch nuclear missiles to the following places:

	   -	Hollywood and Vine (to erase those silly handprints).
	   -    Hoover Dam
	   -    Paris, France.
	   -	The Richard M. Nixon Presidential musuem and archive.
	   -	The Ronald Reagan    "		  "	     "
	   -	"Dollyland"

   o	Declare Aparthied illegal in South Africa.

- go to the Dead Headquarters and listen to all the vault tapes.

- see just how fast i can get my mustang to go

- go helicopter skiing and leave the heli at the top of the mountain

- sit in the prez's office and enjoy some bran muffins while making a
  US-wide telecast to no one

- brew all kinds of brew at all the breweries around the world.

- cruise around in air force 1

- bulldoze new york city and turn it into a huge farm.

the possibilties are endless.

Me too!!  With his feet up on the Presidential desk, too.

Trouble is, after The Bomb, there would probably be nothing but a smoking
crater left of Washington - it would be a little hard to find the desk. ;-)

Me - I'd make damn sure I don't ever break my glasses.

Going into the Vault sounded like a nice idea.

    depending on how long I lived ans how long I looked for other life,
    
    I'd probably go sailing! There's a real nice single hander Frers 45 for
    sale(il) somewhere in Florida and I could get there quick by grabbing 
    an F-27 waiting to be sold in Wareham. I wouldn't touch any of the AC
    boats, way too crew intensive to try to sail alone. But I'll bet the
    seas would be rather stormy so maybe I'd go to maine and try to find 
    Hal Roth's boat to take me down south. A nuclear powered sailboat would
    go like hell!

   I've been have a recuring dreram for.. oh about 13 years along those lines.
  Myself and two friends are wolking down a street in the town I live. It's
  about 8:00 pm. but for some reason it's still very light out. Then we see
  a huge mushroom in the sky. The rest gets very foggy after that.

   I usually wake up in a cold sweat. As for what I'd do I'll have to think 
  about that one.
