You don't even know how much respect I have for this sentence. You're talking to a mirror, man. And if you think I post in a lot of the "deep discussion" threads, try to imagine what I've written, then deleted or read and shook my head at and clicked off the page. I understand completely.

Crazy to hear you say this. I actually had similar thoughts about how we see big wigs leave in clusters. The timing, etc.

I have to agree with this. Going out and buying a one year supply of SPAM is ridiculous. But having some extra toilet paper and tylenol and some canned food makes sense. And it's not because the world is ending or supplies will dry up, but rather so that you can remain at home when you otherwise normally wouldn't - in case you get sick or in case staying at home keeps you healthy if you live in an area where an outbreak occurs.

Just some basic, simple stuff. What always makes me laugh are those guys who buy "beans" and whatnot. It's a fine strategy, but actually ask those guys how they'd eat them and many either couldn't tell you or they'd simply imply that they would just sit there and eat boiled beans. That's it. Just eat the boiled beans. HAHAHAHAAHA my God. And then if you pressed them, but never mentioned "making soup" or "beef broth" or something like that, they'd fill the void with something like "well put seasoning on them!". Seasoning and boiled beans. Bring on the end, baby!
