Thread: What do you know you're not telling the rest of us?

It actually shouldn't matter when the end of the world is, really, philosophically, I think, in my most, humble, opinion. BTW Mick, thanks for the post cards, my correspondence is still sitting on my desk.

Isn't there an earthquake going on there right now? I thought there always was?

Carl,

There were 555 earthquakes in California and Nevada in the past week. But, most all of them are so small or so deep, they aren't felt. I haven't felt one in about thirteen years and it was real small and real quick, just a weird bump.

It seemed like in the Seventies, there was always some jackass calling for the end of the World. There will always be someone convinced that it's coming, I'll believe it when it happens.

Here's a map of earthquakes for the past week, later, well; unless the big one hits!! donv

Now hold on Mick. Continuous earthquakes in California and you suggest that in the land of Party there is a gap between them? Now I know something's wrong down there. Where are the real Aussies on this forum and what have you done with them?

A mate of mine just had a new arrival to the family so I'm going to a beginning of the world party tomorrow for his new son. We can hold an end of world party next day.

Yeah well now I've seen that post card, you'll have to go out and send me a different one! No just joking, that'd take an extra forever. The bloody end of the world will have been and gone by then!


Mick

Yes, Mick, you're right. Thing is, in this neck of the woods we have a general store (not all that 'general' actually) that doubles as a post office (no deliveries, we have to pick up the mail). For some weird reason they can't operate as a post office on weekends, and I work during the week. Maybe I'll just hop in the car and drive it up to you?

Sounds good to me Carl. Any preferences in XXXX mate? I'll have some waiting for you.


Mick

Stop getting my hopes up. Nothing is gonna change in the downward slide that is our modern civilisation.
My last big hope was Y2K. Had the car loaded with supplies, weapons, family and was well away from the cities..... then a great big nothing....
if it ever does happen it'll be something like "Shaun of The Dead" - you know - stroolling to the shop, going through the routine and not noticing the zombies.... until it's time - Cause them zombies ain't gonna kill themselves!
Guess i'm in for another xmas....Bah... Humbug.
