21 seconds to go....

nah, more liberally, ten minutes until the world ends, what do you do?
six hundred seconds...

Forums: The Bar,

shit! i know what i'd want to do, but it would take me about 30 mins to get there so thats out of the question. i guess... i'd pash the nearest cute boy? any excuse.

ten minutes! Not long enough to organise anything. I just hope I'm not on the bus when the countdown starts. I'd turn the stereo up loud. Superman you're crying.

Weep.

Undo my hair if it was up, and make the creedstance.

That's the CreedStance, jo.

That's Jo to you, buddy.

No way, I'm sick of people calling me Jimi. So I'm just getting my own back muhfukka

People who like lowercase are lower class.

it doesn't require that much class to regurgitate what you've learned in school. people who get snobby about lettering preferences spend too much time judging others and should probably look into their own shortcomings to see why they've got such a big problem with the rest of the world expressing a little bit of free thought.

i mean that affectionately, by the way.

:)

Fumble around for my favourite song-du-moment. Fire up a cone. Text my crush to tell him how I feel. Call my parents.

end of the world or end of humanity?

i'd go outside and watch. especially if it was going to end in a spectacular way, such as a shower of meteors. perhaps have a drink of pineapple juice and take a nice seat. why fear the inevitable?

here's a bit of extention to the topic, and a nice nod towards all the "favourite this and that" posts:

what would be your preferred method of armageddon?

- the hand of god, and a big booming voice saying "sorry, no-one really hit the nail on the head here, what a bloody waste of time. i'm so disappointed!"
- an evil scientist using a gravity beam to pull the moon into the earth
- a large slice of antarctica crashes into america setting off all of their h-bombs underground. the US is thrown into outer space and becomes a new moon. the remaining chunk of the planet is thrown into a tailspin. those that don't die from fallout or the earth's core leaking out all over the place, freeze to death as the earth plummets towards jupiter.

hand of God please.

Also: excellent first post! (Unless of course, you're someone's alternative login, in which case it's still an excellent post, just not a first one.)

How to destroy the Earth

I think I know who hana bi is.. welcome back.

old member, long break, not alternate login, new login, old password gone, email for said password closed, oh well, fate is cruel.

hi all, by the way, long time no see!

thanks for the welcome H, you're probably right :) was it the japanese film title that gave it away? i was thinking of using kagemusha but i like the imagery of hana bi better as a word. battle royale would have been my next choice :)

Just knew that I'd seen the name somewhere else in the recent past - that, the area code and the forum-savvy. Hooray!

plus i kept the same old user icon :P

the devil's advocado in me wants to see if anyone else can guess

i know, i know, it's cheeky, deceitful and downright egotistical, but what the hell, isn't that what forums are all about anyway?

Damn, I was hoping that if you were a new person it would signal a better class of newbie was making its way here.

noizy, you've always been my favourite linker, i was quite amused to see this: "Dropping into Jupiter/another gas giant/a neutron star/etc" given my own earlier reference.

jo: nope, just a little bug betraying his relative boredom of computers :)

// Dropping into Jupiter/another gas giant/a neutron star/etc

indeed. that's what sparked the memory of that page, which I'd stumbled over yesterday.

my favourite from that page is...

Destroyed by vacuum energy detonation

You will need: a light bulb

Method: This is a fun one. Contemporary scientific theories tell us that what we may see as vacuum is only vacuum on average, and actually thriving with vast amounts of particles and antiparticles constantly appearing and then annihilating each other. It also suggests that the volume of space enclosed by a light bulb contains enough vacuum energy to boil every ocean in the world. Therefore, vacuum energy could prove to be the most abundant energy source of any kind. Which is where you come in. All you need to do is figure out how to extract this energy and harness it in some kind of power plant - this can easily be done without arousing too much suspicion - then surreptitiously allow the reaction to run out of control. The resulting release of energy would easily be enough to annihilate all of planet Earth and probably the Sun too.

Earth's final resting place: a rapidly expanding cloud of particles of varying size.

Comments: unperson's quantum field theory courses suggest that the quantity of vacuum energy available from zero point fluctuations in this method would actually be infinite. Ironically, though this doesn't invalidate the theory, it doesn't sound nearly as impressive... thanks, unperson.

Feasibility rating: 5/10. Slightly possible.

Earliest feasible completion date: 2060 or so.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, eh :)

//jo: nope, just a little bug betraying his relative boredom of computers :)

Well it's lovely to have you back. Coupled with dust actually posting today it's a red letter day for people whose posts I enjoy reading.

//the devil's advocado in me wants to see if anyone else can guess

Why am I always so clueless with this sort of stuff? Oh I remember, it's cos my memory is so.... umm, something.

man i gave you a big hint and all!

hi all it's grimmybug, long time listener, frequent caller, back from the dead, but who knows, i probably won't post for another year after a week or so of this :)

yaayy! welcome back!

also: hand of god pls

//hi all it's grimmybug

why the name change??

ha

welcome back grimmy

Ten minutes isn't long at all. I suppose I would have time for a cherry popsicle, not much more.

//Ten minutes isn't long at all

Long enough . . . time for a root and a few popsicles afterwards (I like the 'splash' ones)

//root and a few popsicles

Are you coming on to me? I took a look at the picture in your profile there, and you're quite a looker.

Is this the return of absent forum members thread?

Which one is Lug?

//Are you coming on to me?

I guess sort of . . . but I was more just explaing that there was heaps of time for you to do more than just eat a popsicle . . .

//I took a look at the picture in your profile there, and you're quite a looker.

unfortuanatly I'm not actually in that picture, but which one did you like? I can hook you up cause they're my boys (if you like all of them thats not a problem at all, my boys are expert gang bangers)
