Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'd obviously make a terrible survivalist. Here I am thinking, find a safe spot and help others get to a safe spot where we can secure some food and water.
I think you'd probably make a better survivalist, actually. I don't think the scenarios I'm talking about are necessarily the BEST idea, just really understandable ones.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
For some reason I too don't consider stealing food "looting."
Jewelry and electronics...yeah.

The *police* are looting jewelry and electronics. I'm going to give that the Grade-A Scumsucker Medal with special decaying-plankton cluster.
Yes. Oh hell yes.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Betsy, which article was that in? All I've read so far is that police are taking food, water, etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I haven't read the police are looting non-essential items, but all I've read is that wire story, which said,
At a drug store on Canal Street just outside the French Quarter, two police officers with pump shotguns stood guard as workers from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel across the street loaded large laundry bins full of medications, snack foods and bottled water.
"This is for the sick," Officer Jeff Jacob said. "We can commandeer whatever we see fit, whatever is necessary to maintain law."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I had problems this morning. But it's better now.

I wouldn't fail to stoop to the level that rugby team in Alive did. I'd eat someone to survive, I just wouldn't steal from them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are intending to wait until they're dead, right? For a moment I read Allyson's post wrong, and worried about b.org babies.

Oh, ftr, go ahead and eat me if I'm dead in such a circumstance. I'd TOTALLY understand.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You'd eat someone's asscheek but not take his boots?
