Depending on the circumstances of the apocalypse and the level of technology left afterward, all that military history I've been reading might actually come in handy.

Failing that, I used to help my parents in the garden, and I've successfully produced sparks from flint and steel.

I wonder what my Apocaplyse Skill Set would be?

I think my Apocalypse Skill Set would be to "prevent others from doing stupid shit." I imagine saying the following phrases a lot:

• Don't do that - it'll explode!
• Don't do that - we'll asphyxiate!
• Don't do that - it'll release radiation everywhere!
• Don't do that - all the crops will die and we'll starve!
• Don't do that - the beer won't ferment correctly!

Heh. Basil thermometer. :P

Well, considering where I live, my Apocalypse Skill Set will probably involve instantaneous vaporization.

Not very cheery, but ....

Erin, you're a Virgo -- you'll organize, organize, organize!

And because you're *Erin*, you'll look fabulous and hand out martinis while doing it.

t edit And give everyone post-apocalypse makeovers! "Now, you don't need a moisturizer, because the fallout is already making your skin glow. But what we want to do is use a matte lip stain that really stands out...."

Mine is apparently Looting, with a side order of becoming one of the figureheads of the cult we will invariably start. Sure, I'm not much help with planting or taking care of livestock, but I can be charming and charismatic and convince other people to do it for us!

And be well-dressed, to boot!

Hey neighbor. It might shock you to know that this is precisely why I moved here...that and the hope of making effective change in nuclear weapons policy. I figured, if my side lost, at least I'd not know it.

My singer/songwriter buddy who was also on the Great Peace March, Darryl Purpose wrote a lyric with the chorus, "Don't wanna live at ground zero...don't want to love fear or to fear love no more..." I didn't want to tell him that living here...at least at that time...was a comfort.

the only thing that I could do is cook and boss people around.

I want to sign up for the eastern chapter of that cult now! Beat the rush, eh?

I have a feeling Buffista will become a rank designation, like Corporal, Captain or Admiral in the Apocalypse. S/he who must be obeyed!
