You might want to READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!!

Early this morning I received an e-mail from my buddy over at NSA.

I didn't like 'the way' I heard this from him, or the nature of the information - even though it was couched as a rumor - it also contained a 'knowing wink.'

I immediately called the Shebabe - we had planned on going to the beach house - a kind of Valentine's/get out of DC weekend.

After receiving the information from my buddy - we are now leaving for the beach early - tonight.

So, driving home I think 'how much ammo do I have? Ya can't have too much ammo.' So for the gun shop I made my way.

There, one salesman is on the phone, 'no sir, sorry, sold out. I don't have any - nobody has any, sorry sir.' (click) The guy on the other end was lookin' for a gas mask. The shop had been taking calls all day. The shop was tripple busy than I had ever seen it. Nearly every customer in there was 'tied in' to law enforcement in one way or the other.

They had all heard the same 'rumor,' I had heard. All stocking up.

I get home and my dad calls - his neighbor, a very close family friend - is with Dept. of Justice, he specializes in terrorist shit. He told my dad the rumor - now the old former Sea Bee is headin' for his gun store for ammo too.

The rumor?

Code Red tomorrow.

Makes sense too - St. Valentine's Day - Red is the color - St. Valentine's Day Massacre????? President's Day Weekend?

But my family will now be away and in the ocean breezes.

I wish you all the best.

You people are really starting to freak me out.

 

[Moi]

That's it.

No cards for Osama or Saddam tomorrow.

They're off the list...

Me too.

When you make paranoia your way of life, everything seems to be a sign, there are no coincidences.

This actually has been happening for a while now - at least 3 months. No one can seem to get any ammo, or keep it in stock.

 

[perks]

I'm gonna stock up on ammo, cause bullets are so good at stopping bombs.

 

[Uber Sparky]

I don't think I'm paranoid.

This old Boy Scout turned Marine is just being prepared.

I didn't go buy plastic sheet and duct tape - it's no good anyway.

And we were planning of getting away anyway - hey the beach house is a freebee.

I hope it is all simply a rumor - nothing I'd like more right no.

But just in case..

I'm takin' every piece of iron I have - I probably won't have to use it - don't want to use it - but - right now? It's only a little extra weight.

No big deal.

Number one:
This Rumor has been going around so much since we went to orange that I can't believe it's not on snopes.
Number two:
Does Red REALLY make any difference? Does it? Honestly, I think they're just fucking with us. Remember, this alert system is not unlike that of "The Prisoner".

I can't wait until we have a new number two.

 

[Spinaroonie]

The rumor?

Code Red tomorrow.

You know - that frightens me more than a rumored *code red*... parinoid people with guns and lots of ammo.

you just discribed my mom...... she can't find enough things to worry about

At this time of year the prevailing winds tend to run from the north-east, so American fallout in eastern Canada isn't as big an issue as in the summer, when we sometimes get your air pollution.

At this time of year your fallout will mostly head south from Washington & NYC towards Florida.

It seems to me that if anyone should get biological, chemical or radioactive fallout it should be the gun-toting southern rednecks.

Either way, it's nasty business.

Not all people with guns and ammo are paranoid. Some just want to be prepared if we need to defend ourselves and our families.

This reminds me of the 'Y2K' nonsense...I was 1000 times more frightened of drunk, armed, and panicing people, than I was of any bank errors.

 

[ChefChip]

living in dc my whole life has desensitized me to this sorta thing. when the bomb drops I will die before I know what happened. and in general I don't put any stock in these warnings anyway, but my hardware store sold out of duct tape and plastic sheeting. I wish the feds would tell us what they were going to advertize for before they do it, then we can be ready. and rich too but who's counting

Something to consider, Al Qaida usually gets in and out of this country through Canada since your immigration laws aren't quite so paranoid, it won't tip off any of the US customs schmucks who are actually paying attention, and it's easy to get stuff in and out of Canada that's on the be a good terrorst list. Have a lovely day, Lance.


I'm with you, Sparks, when the spooks wink, listen to what they're not saying. You live in the wrong part of the world, though. We got more ammo out here than you can shake a rubber stick at.
