One of Those Days

There are some days that I need to take a break from the goddamn news and, waddyaknow, today seems to be an excellent day for that. Sure, I’ll still take a peek here and there  – mostly to see if I should go stand outside to wait for the nuclear blast and my vaporization.

Hmmm, what does one wear to a vaporization? I'll probably just go with my usual T-shirt and workout pants. Tie dye seems appropriate somehow. Luckily I've a goodly amount of that. Others may wish to go out in more formal attire – to each their own and shit.

I suppose we should have pre-nuke cocktails. I haven’t had a proper martini in years. Wonder if there’s time to pick up olives and vermouth before we’re all vaporized? 

We'll need snacks too. Can't go out without a nice taste in my mouth. What goes best with dry martinis and imminent physical disintegration? I'm thinking savory versus sweet. Maybe jalapeño poppers, samosas, and veggie tempura? Perhaps some guacamole just to round things out?

Tragically ironic, isn't it? How nuclear weapons represent both our species' mastery over the very foundations of nature, as well as our utter inability to master our most primitive instincts.

Gambling rules don't work in nuclear war - everyone become loser.

Total annihilation has a way of sharpening people's minds.

Can there be any question that the human is the least harmonious beast in the forest and the creature most toxic to the nest? 
~ Randy Thornhorn

I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable.
~ Kurt Vonnegut
