I'd be annoyed, but I'd live.

OH TEH NOES, BACK TO CANDLES, FIRES FOR MY FOOD, GETTING UP AT DAWN AND GOING TO BED WHEN IT GETS DARK.  ITS NOT LIKE I DIDN'T DO THAT WHEN I SPENT WEEKS CAMPING WHEN I WAS 12.

Still, I'd much rather have internet access, be able to listen to the radio and boil my water in a plugged in kettle.  Just saying.

I'd wander the neighborhood as a wandering minstrel.  The people won't have their teevees so they'll need some entertainments.

You'd wander the neighbourhood as a minstrel, yes.

Your neighbours wouldn't hear sweet music, however. They would hear the harbinger of the apocalypse. Especially if you used your nose flute.

Cain

I'd wander the neighbourhood, looting.

No electricity = no security alarms.

Nah, I have the hold the Nose Flute to my face when I play it.  I'd need that arm to beat the drum.

damn- beat me to it.  i rather like it when the power goes out.  i was caught in the big midwest black out of ought-three and it was a great time.  it kind of forces you to get out of your routine which is a good thing.

our electrical grid is so fragile it's astonishing, really.  99% of the wires on the poles are un-insulated so all you need is a way to short out the wires (without grounding yourself) and you can blow circuits left and right.  i always figured a model rocket tethered with some conductor flown into some transmission lines would work pretty good.

Shut your cockgobbler, shit for brains.

Nobody gives a fuck what you think, or what facts you have to share.

TGRR,
