Just watching an episode of the series on National Geographic, the one with a Mr Wayne, just cant see the wine in his Bunker lasting that long, by the time it came to barter I would of drank most of the wine and think the Dog food he was planning to eat would probably result in a bad case of the squirts...... even doing it Regiment style, them bags would soon add up.
Wine and dog food...holy fu**! That's just gross...
That show has already "jumped the shark" as they say.

Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that is used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality that is beyond recovery. The phrase is also used to refer to a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in a desperate attempt to keep viewers' interest. (Wiki)Quote:

You have trading medium and means to procure the rest.
"jumping the shark" refers specifically to the "Happy Days" episode where Fonzie runs a bike over the shark tank. Meaning they will do anything to get viewers back.

Not what Wiki says, as in the dictionary. It also refers to the Happy Days episode. I think we should let the poster explain rather than have you disagree with Wiki...ie,( your opinion only.) Regardless, if you actually read all the posts, you'd see it reads the same.Quote:

At one point elsewhere an individual stated that without these sort of prophecies, religion wouldn't have much of a hold on people...
The Norwegian government recently completed a very large and expensive underground repository for seeds in Northern Norway. Apparently their ambition is to gather as many of world's food crop seeds into this repository as they can. Not sure why.
I have put 100 Hormel Compleat meals. in reserve. 26 varieties. the commercial MRE. Excellent. gary
I still have a case of LRPs from when I was recon pl in the 70s. I'll need water, and the chocolate bars are white, but they work...
Maybe the dog food ain't too bad after enough wine!
Maybe after burbon...

Where were we?? Oh yes, I guess rum would do, the problem is that after a few, we'd forget about eating the rations...
Oh, I thought that was the point.Quote:

The modern replacement, as I recall, was Capt Morgans 181 Proof. Being something like 90% alcohol was less likely to freeze on winter deployments, apparently also popular in Alaska..
It was pretty harsh stuff...
Pusser's is a brand name of rum produced by Pussers Ltd, on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Pusser is Royal Navy slang for a purser, a ship's supply officer, now called a Logistics Officer, in the Royal Navy; thus the word became naval slang for "one hundred per cent Service", as in "pusser's issue", meaning anything that is supplied by the Royal Navy, such as a "pusser's grip", the name given to a canvas bag that sailors may use instead of a suitcase (it folds flat and is thus easy to stow on board ship). Pusser's Rum is sometimes known as Nelson's blood, in honor of Horatio Nelson, one of the greatest Royal Navy commanders in history.
When I was young...we had a Great War vet that would appear in the mess for Nov 11th. He would start out his stories with "I had a company of Green Howards in the Great War..." His drink of choice was "Nelson's Blood", which was a mixture of milk, rum and something that escapes me...But that may just have been his own mixture...
Making me thirsty. Not. The rum sounds good but with milk? You grow them tough in the great white north.Quote:

A small tot on its own, washed down with a cold beer, I used to have few when I drank with an old RN signaller many years ago, sadly no longer with us but always remembered when I have a tot.
We must always pay homage... and remember Brothers of War, who have gone before....
but forgive me...
I think we have "jumped the shark" on this thread... since we were talking about Doomsday Preppers.... but have switched to alcoholic drinks and memoirs... Luckily, I don't have broadcast media.... I guess. :)
Prepping is preparing so you don't have to eat doggie food and gummy bears. If things get dicy I'd like to live for a while with food in my belly than beating some dog off his dish lol. Never be so cocky to think it can't happen to you ,natural,manmade doen't make any difference if fate pays you a visit do not repeat do not come to my house , when you step into my yard your in range :)
Katrina/Sandy. Got me thinking.
Back again, off topic. Rum, milk, ice cream was concocted on special occasions and know as, "moose milk". Went down pretty good as a hangover antidote.
