Choose wisely!

Natural disaster. Invasion. Apocalypse. You need to be evacuated immediately and you have about five smurfing seconds to grab one thing and one thing only from your house to bring with you. We'll assume that family members and pets, etc are taken care of and you're headed to some place to find shelter and food. One possession of yours you get to pick to bring with you and nothing else. What do you snag?

I think I'd have to grab my photo album out of my nightstand drawer to take with me. That or my "special memorabilia" box with every little special thing I've tried to save in my life.

The beat up photo albums I've had since a child along with all of the loose pictures wedged into the side of the box.

I can't think of anything sentimental I have which I would take. All my photos are on my laptop, so I guess I would take that.

my son's container of stuff. He'll at least have plenty of clothes to keep him warm and enough diapers to last us till we can find more somewhere.

It's the end of the world as you know it and most of you are grabbing sentimental things?

My Leatherman multi-tool or a roll of duct tape thank you very much.

Ladies don't keep tools or duct tape or axes or katanas or even golf clubs, Vivi. :colbert:

Good thing I'm not a lady then. Apparently gender required sentimentality would get me killed.

Like a true nerd, my external hard drive. I CAN'T LOSE MY VAST PORN COLLECTION. :p

edit: More for serious, probably a gun or my smartphone. :x Gun for obvious reasons. Smartphone for the Kindle app so I have something to read and possibly the internet if for whatever reason that infrastructure was spared.

Further proof that women are weak. For their own safety, we must sacrifice the majority of them and keep the pretty ones in mating herds.

Antibiotics expire. It doesn't make them dangerous, it just decreases their efficacy. What you need is book on compounding pharmaceuticals, gurl. If I had one of those, I would grab that.

Also if I had to grab one material object I would take my grandmother's wedding rings. Since those are usually on a necklace that's on me anyway, I get to pick another.

So I pick Baby Grover.

A butcher knife is a weapon that, one might say, a butcher would use.

well assuming I'm sleeping fully clothed, with my boots on. I'd then grab my ipod... what would the end of the world be without music? kidding, probably something functionally useful... like the ready bag for all emergencies I have near my bed, the bag contains a first aid kit, id and clothing. It doesn't have a weapon in it but this is also known as my weekend away/holiday bag. But it does have a swiss army knife as part of the first aid kit. I could fashion a weapon with that such as a rudimentary spear by sharpening a stick.

Actually, Steve has a point.

I would take nothing but food, drink and my MP3 player. It would be loaded with nothing but the Fallout 3 and NV radio tracks, and I would would just chill and watch the world burn. :cool:

...

I don't want to set the world on fire,
I just wanna start a flame in your heart.

In my heart there is but one desire,
and that one is you,
no other will doooooo.

I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim,
I just want to be the one you love.

And with your admission that you feel the same,
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of,

Believe me!

Depends on the situation, but chances are if it's an invasion/apocalypse then I'm grabbing canned food, medical supplies, or a weapon.

Everyone should have this plan ready for when the world goes up in flames because it would be the best way to get through it.

My Mary Poppins-like purse because I can put just about everything I need in there. Food, water, my cat (even though she's already been taken care of according to the first post), wallet, phone, napkins, lighter, and bandages.
