I guess I am missin it...end of the world as we know it?

[ducducgooseme]

So I was reading the headlines on cnn today about people building survival bunkers, hoarding food, cashing all the money for gold.

Granted, I am avoiding buying major things right now (100k miles on the truck!) and have a small "oh shit" fund, but hoarding food?  Cashing out all your money for gold?   And these aren't just a few right wing crazies...they are every day Joes and Jills.

One guy bought 10,000 rounds of ammunition!   

Should we building a Ducati Survival Commune down near Roswell?  Bunkers, food, water filtration, private racing track.

Discuss..  thoughts?   Are you guys feeling we are headed for financial collapse and third world economy status as they say in the article?

If the world really is going to end... I dont think I want to have to go all the way down to Roswell just to use the track... I'd much rather have a track a little more local.. I can understand keeping it away from Kirtland and the Labs...  Those would be good alleged terrorist hotspots, and we dont want any shrapnel or anything else damaging the racing surface.   As far as hoarding food.. I guess I'm not a Joe.. I have no hoarded food other than whats been stuck in the back of my pantry and forgotten about.  Maybe we should hoard tires and gasoline... at the track?

if i remember correctly there is still underground tunnels or whatnot inside the crest somewhere! we can get to hoarding stuff and use the crest as our own playground/track

man! i need to get out more often and read! but im not surprized people are doing that.

Well CNN is about as real as USA Today, People magazine, AOL or Fox news. S E N S A T I O N A L I S M! Sells stories.

BTW I have a WW ll submarine I bought at the surplus auction and had it buried in my back yard with enough supplies for 40 years so you wont catch me falling for the media sensationalism.
While we were in Ouray I sat in my room being depressed watching the History channel have a top ten worst case world disaster scenarios on TV. So wheres the irony when everybody is out having a good time you can make the choice to focus on this crap or go out and RIDE!

I have a serious question:

Is it possible to store enough booze for all of us?

I really think its going to depend on the amount of time that we'd have to go into hiding.. if its just a week? yeah sure.. we can just rob a liquor store.. anything much over that and were gonna need a warehouse.. 

[ducducgooseme]

Shit Count...you are right...I was just going to fill my truck with rice and beans for us.  Then, I remembered how much Dusty and Kingbaby like the tequila.  Headed to the booze store now.  I am taking orders


hunky...yeah, well fox and msnbc had the articles to the same effect last week.  I guess all of the media is sensational..ugh.

This is where I come in!

If the world gets that bad... I'll come down and hide out with you guys.  I'll earn my keep by making beer!

[ducducgooseme]

sorry kid...i already have the homebrew taken care of.  you must go cut vivaleduc's lawn.

Eff that.  I make better beer! 

[Zaster]

FYI...
You are not a true brew Meister unless you completed a 4 year college degree in Munich
Must be rough having to taste all that beer
Maybe it's time for a career change

[Punx Clever]

I don't know about it having to be in Munich...   

But you are right... it is time for an effing career change.  Instead of hastening along the destruction of the world by blowing shit up for the navy, I ought to sell beer and slow it down by ensuring everyone is drunk!

[ducducgooseme]

Sorry kid, I have been brewing since before you were a stain in the back of your daddy's Ford.   

Always wanted to use that line.  I'm really not that old 

[Punx Clever]

That and it was a chevy back then... but you get the idea!

The real question is, have you graduated to all grain or are you still brewin' extracts?

[ducducgooseme]

both!
