Emergency Food Supplies


"Whether it's a Stock Market Meltdown, Economic Recession, Gas Crisis, Job Lay-Off, Earthquake, Hurricane, Flood, or Terrorist Attack, each of us MUST be PERSONALLY PREPARED to 'weather-the-storm' with long storing food reserves and other preparedness supplies for a minimum of 2 to 6 weeks. A four (4) to six (6) month reserve or more would even be better."

I love this ad! Quite apart from the Victorian capitalisation, the sense of urgency (or should I say, URGENCY) and the Survival For Dummies-type explanation that the words "four" and "six" actually mean "4" and "6" make this a true gem. I only wonder why you might need half a year's worth of food if the stock market crashes.

Great idea, bro!

I look forward to hearing about the weird and wonderful things in your new place of abode.

So many things I'm curious about. What do freedom fries taste like? Have you switched from Camembert to sliced cheese? Do you take a brown paper bag with you in case you fancy a beer? Do you have a tornado shelter...?

Anyway, it sounds like you're having the winningest time... Awesome!
