Yeah I'd do something similar. Get myself a s**t-ton of drugs and bring a few strippers to an isolated place like in the movie and just............well, enjoy the remainder of my days.

I'd do all kinds of naughty things I shouldn't, I'd probably kill a few people who've really pissed me off.

I'd want to be present for the very end. I wouldn't want to top myself. I'd want to experience it, if possible, and I'd want to be entirely alone and dressed very nicely.

Have sex with everything, animal, vegetable, mineral

i would probably score some H as well (actually dilaudid is much better or at least better consistently) ... it really does take the edge off of almost anything and just to see from a scientific viewpoint how well it would work with a planetary size bummer coming down full speed ...

i'd want to be with my dog ... he is truly my best friend ... i wouldn't want him to be scared and i don't think i could end his life myself ... and i wouldn't kill myself and leave him alone ... so we'd be hanging out, him lying at my side while i reread some favorite books ... "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemingway is one and well, you just have to love the irony in that if another planet was coming to blast you into oblivion ... "The Stand" by Stephen King would be another though depending on when the actual truth came out about the planet coming at us, i might have to read the shortened, original release version rather than the uncut and complete one ;)

but it does leave a question that i just alluded to ... when would the government or its media outlets tell us we were all going to die? never? that might be my bet ... we'd have to rely on those "crazy conspiracy nuts on the internet" for the truth ... that's all right tho since they are more reliable and forthcoming that our (USA) government or the media ...

oh and i would also make some shrimp fondue ... that would be a nice warming feel-good meal to have before being blasted into the astral plane ;)

anyone else have favorite books they'd read? or favorite films? or favorite last suppers? :)


take care,
cormac

Gather my family and pets and few friends I care for and try to travel to a place that makes us happy and is pretty and have as much fun together as we can. I would rather die with the people I love surrounding me than be alone.

I'd shag Kirsten Dunst!
