What would you do if you learned that nuclear missiles were heading for your city?

My husband and I would get in the car and head for the East Coast where our son lives… we’d be history here. But, if it were nuclear missles, everyone might be history no matter where you went.

Hello Doc… A legitimate Q since I live in NYC… I live each day realizing how blessed I am and like it is my last… no regrets. I was though, thinking of getting some goldfish to share the burden.

Hopefully I would have enough time to grill a steak and drink a cold beer.

assume the position…

I’d make sure the food, water, and ammo was within easy reach and get in the basement. .

Get as many friends and family members as I can and have a massive party. I live in London and you wouldn’t get far anyway so might aswell enjoy the time you have left with the people you care about.

1. Place your head between your legs. 2. Kiss your ass good bye.

@ChazMaz The steaks will get grilled! It’s the beer I’d worry about!

Close the blast doors on my secret underground lair and try to contain my evil laugh. Either that or get out of town.

Wrap myself in tin-foil and put myself in the oven.

@Tomfafa – Hopefully. I get to enjoy it before the blast.

Save the rest for when I kiss my ass.

Run.

Do my best to put atleast thirty miles between me and it. That should negate the worst of the fallout.

If you are in a city. Where do you think you are going?

You are looking at instant gridlock. Best to stay home and chill out.

You might even be able to get some from that neighbor that before, would not tell you the time of day.
You know, going out with a bang.

Change my undies.

Same thing I did when this happened 40 years ago. I’d put a chair next to the highway and watch the trucks drive by with the missiles.

Missiles are already in the air flying to my city? I would hope the anti-missile missiles do their job, otherwise I would prepare myself for a sudden emergence into a new dimension I had not previously enjoyed.

I’d get a real big baseball bat and go to town.

I live in Washington DC… so I wouldn’t be too surprised, to be honest.

I’d get a takeaway and hope it arrived in less than 15 mins.

I’d order take out.

LOL!!! You got issues dude!

I just got new wiper blades… they might help.

id go to my local gunstore buy everything get into my nuclear fall out shelter which is packed with enough non perishable food for six months. and if any of you cannibal mutants tries to get in im ready.

I’d get out my trusty frying pan.

Go to the outskirts, away from any city.

@Pseudonym – And you will be the the only one thinking that?

I’d stop, drop, and roll.

I am going to buy an elementary school desk for protection.

@Tomfafa Yeah, because those things are built like bomb shelters

@erichw1504 and weigh as much

i would look for a lead lined fridge like the one that “Indianna Jones” hid in it and close it

the russians had a very good protocol to follow in case the americans ever decided to bomb first it was called PYHBYKKAG Put.Your.Head.Between.Your.Knees.Kiss.Ass.Goodbye

@talljasperman I remember one movie critic calling that last Indiana Jones movie, “Indiana Jones and the Nuclear Fridge of Doom.” :-)

@Tomfafa Remember Bert the Turtle?

There was a turtle by the name of Bert
and Bert the turtle was very alert;
when danger threatened him he never got hurt
he knew just what to do…
He’d duck! And cover!

Those old civil defense films were funny in a scary kind of way.

@talljasperman Works everytime.

Rush online to cancel all my subscriptions.

I would hope there’s enough time to get very, very drunk, because I would not want to be sober, or even conscious, when it hits.

Well, I’m about 25 miles north of the Air Force base. I’d assume that’s the target, and I’ll get on the highway and head to Ocala. That should be far enough away from anything worth hitting with a missile.

Well living in san diego which is pretty much covered in military bases and command posts… i think i’m pretty much screwed. So fuck it… i’ll go with the steak and beer thing.

I got the bug out bag and lot’s of ammo ready to go! If word gets to me too late, I party like it’s 1999!

My greater concern is dirtbags like the shoe bomber or other terrorist scum who would light one off in Chicago then all hell will break loose… that is what I prepare for the most.

@Tomfafa I used to live in New York City, too. I figured that I was definitely toast if we got nuked, since NYC is a prime target. I’d probably still try to hide in an underground area, but I know it wouldn’t do any good. :-)

Or maybe I’d go seek out @Dr_C in his evil, underground lair…

@erichw1504 I also like the idea of ordering take-out. “Dominos… 30 minutes or it’s free, even during WWIII!”

@Dr_Dredd always room in my secret lair….. In fact we have a theme song.

Tell my SO to get naked & jump in bed with me

tell that girl she’s beautiful

If missiles are in the air heading here (N49 09.054 W112 04.806), somebody really goofed! There are no strategic targets near here, this is where people would want to run, if they feared a missile attack!
I would kiss me wife and hold her. I frequently do that anyhow.

@Dr_Lawrence Awww…That is so sweet and romantic! Until the nuke falls…

I’d definitely put the vacuum cleaner away. YAY! Like stratman37, I’d assume the position and kiss my arse good bye.

I’d try to get as close to @Dr_Lawrence‘s place as plssible

I’ll bring the beers.
