I am a fan of nuclear too, but what scares me is that, even tho we are talking money in the billions, with the government involved lots of stuff will be lowest bid. Everyone knows what you get with lowest bid...

I once thought of sending Blast a shirt that said:
Quote:
My name is Blast.
If you see me running, try to keep up.

But then I thought about it and changed it to:
Quote:
My name is Blast.
Run.

I was wondering what the military is giving out as the "military rations" along with the bags of ice and cases of water bottles. Anyone know? I'd also like to know what FEMA gives out, in case we find ourselves dining al fresco on government grub some day.


A neighbor brought me some of the emergency meals they are handing out after Ike. They come in a cardboard box which contain three "meals". The meals consist of MRE-stylle entree, a small bag of chips, boxed milk (irradiated so it doesn't need to be kept cool), a fruit cup, assorted drink mixes, and napkins. I'll get pictures up at some point. Each car gets one (maybe two, I'm not positive) box of these, one case of bottles water and two bags of ice.

No, it should say:

Blast, my friend, how many times do we have to go over this? I am "Fire King" whereas you are merely First Chemist and Minister of Demolitions.

Methinks it may depend on what Blast is holding in his hands at the time. Kneel may be an appropriate warning.

Well, okay. Can I have my own squad of cheerleaders, though? Lady cheerleaders, not the male cheerleaders SBRaider keeps around him. wink

Oh, an oil refinery could be fun, too.
