A meteorite is on the way

    A meteorite is on the way. It will hit planet Earth in 24 hours. There is no way of stopping it and the possiblilty of mankind surviving the aftermath is slim to none.

    Well, not really. But imagine that this situation is actually happening. You have 24 hours left to live. In fact, everyone has 24 hours left to live. What would you do in those final hours?

    Pighead would canvass furiously for 20 hours to become a moderator of after Hours and after my landslide success i'd bin this thread and then proceed to ban your bony arse. I'd use the remaining few minutes to defend my actions on a thread in Feedback started by you.

    I doubt the whole feedback thing would happen. Mainly because I'd be drunk somewhere. Possibly naked too.

    You mean you've never started a feedback thread before whilst drunk and nude? I'll give it 2 weeks before thats rectified.

    Anyway are you saying you'd spend your last day on earth getting drunk with no clothes on? What if all the girls point and laugh at your mini todger, surely you want to go to heavan with a smile on your face. Heres my advice, WEAR SOME SHORTS AND STUFF SOME FOOTBALL SOCKS DOWN THE FRONT.

    Hrm, nah, i'd prefer to die the same way I was born.. naked and incredibly drunk.

    Anyways, the shorts idea sounds good, just in case it might be a cold day..

    While Pigheads responce is side splittingly funny, I'd nick a helicopter and take to the skys. I've always wanted to fly one, and while I don't know how, it wouldn't matter, and I'd have fun learning/dieing

    24 hours to stop a meteorite eh? sounds like an idea for day 6.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    *quickly glances at OP*
    f*ck, we're all f*cked

    but seriously what could you do? probably take tomorrow off work, go home and watch sky news.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭YeatsCounty


    I'd loot stores for clothing and electrical equipment, naturally. I'd also discuss the works of Wittgenstein over a game of backgammon.

    Nah. I'd spend that time in bed with the missus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto


    Id see how many banks i could rob in the 24 hours..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Not sure about the first 23 hours, prob have excellent food, wine and s-e-x but just before it hits I'd try heroin.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    I'd sleep it all, and then maybe kill myself minutes befor ethe world is wiped out of existance, no Meteorite is gonna kill me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭Devious


    I'd phone Chuck Norris and tell him that a meteorite is about to hit. Problem solved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    What would you do in those final hours?

    get an obscene amount of beer and "protection" and high-tail it to the gf's house


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 850 ✭✭✭DOLEMAN


    Laugh with joy when I realise the meteor is going to hit America...

    LOL just joking of course.

    I'd probably try to forgive the people I can't forgive, try to be around people who are important to me, and not worry too much because they're nothing I can do to change the coming doom...

    What happens if too many people have already requested the day off? SOMEONE has to answer those god damned phones!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    Ok, the first we need to do is not panic...

    Secondly is be aware, then ask yourself how does it feel, and when it does "happen" we will dig deeper on the topic in our last few minutes..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes

    why would you need protection? you'd both be dead a few hours later.


    i'd organise a mass orgy on o'connel street. with tankers full of lube. who's with me?

    haha genius...

    em i dunno what i'd do for the day... defo have to spend all of it with girlfriends/friends/family and so on... for the last few hours i'd just take copius amounts of drugs and go out listening to the deftones self titled album... i always thought of that as an album to die to... deep

    that is a good point. a point i did not think of. good work, you saved me a trip to boots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    unless ofc, the meteorite decided not to hit us and then you'd be ****ed :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭neacy69


    Amendment to the original plan laid out by Commander in Chief Vimes

    i'd organise a mass orgy on o'connel street IN tankers full of lube. who's with me?

    now thats a plan hmm and a whole load of nakedness

    Wouldn't worry about it. If it ever was going to happen the powers that be would would make sure we never found out about it anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    Get laid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 Galvia


    24 hours to live? Quick, charter a plane and get to my b/f!;) :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,805 ✭✭✭Setun


    Good thread.

    Well I'd probs start running, possibly shout all the things I ever wanted to say <although if the meteorite miraculously missed the planet it could be a bit embarrassing> at people, rob a car to get around maybe, and if I have the time organise a massive free-jazz session on the top of Grafton Street. Producing sounds of mayhem, amongst chaos. Sounds like fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Sex.

    Feck the age of consent We'd all be dead hours later they ain't gonna stop me :)

    That would be awesome! Maybe a circus troupe of acrobats and gymnasts and unicyclists. I've always wanted to unicylce properly.. I've tried it once but almost killed myself

    Haha i have to laugh.. i love all these answers "sex" and "big orgy"...gas..as if we'd all be running around having orgies with the loom of a horrible death over your head...haha....survival thats what everyone would be thinking off and trying to acheive

    I don't think there'd be many survivors left if it did hit Earth O_o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,494 ✭✭✭ronbyrne2005


    thing is this could happen at any minute! the authorities wouldnt tell us even though they would know months in advance,if you ever hear that world leaders are meeting in a nuclear bunker for a few days you know its on the way. best thing that could happen is a small one that would wipe out civilisation hit and killed a few hundred thousand/million and scare the authorities into developing a sure way of stopping future larger asteroids/metoerites

    The humourous thing to say here would be:

    "I'd watch a full season of '24'!"























    ....
    really not that humourous though! Wasn't funny in 'American Dad' and not here either!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭Steffano2002


    I'd do drugs. Never did drugs before... I figure if you're gonna die why not die trying something new that will f*ck you up so much you won't give a cr@p about dying?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    but what if you don't die from the meteorite and all the drugs in the world evaporates and you need a fix? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    i'd organise a mass orgy on o'connel street. with tankers full of lube. who's with me?

    Steal a car. Drive to airport. Steal a plane. Fly to Florida. Steal a Space Shuttle. Go to space.

    And somewhere along the way I'd stock up on Extreme Chilli Heatwave Doritos and Creme Eggs. I wouldn't last much longer than 24 hours, in fact I'd probably crash the plane somewhere over Swords, if not the car somewhere on the M50, but at least I would have tried.
