Hindsight Is 20/20
FOUND by Ray Haque
I picked up a book titled  The Millennium Bug at a thrift store. Inside was a list detailing what someone should stock up on to prepare for the impending 'disaster.' My favorite? Coffee pot comes before gun.

Well OF COURSE coffee pot comes before gun! Gotta make sure you're properly awake before you shoot the intruders! "Uh... guys... I'm not awake enough to have my house looted just yet. Couldja hold off for just a little while? Thanks."

I like how Velveeta is on there twice. PLEASE don't make me go through that without Velveeta!

I hope they skipped the powdered milk. Casseroles was a good idea though and shouldn't have had the question mark in my humble opinion....this person was really thinking it all over which is admirable.

Yes Heath Bars are yummy! I'd hate to go through the millenum without at least one or two dozen Heath Bars. But you know what's scary is that I think this is my mother in law's handwriting!! and she likes heath bars and velveeta too. Can't be "gin" because there is that little wriggle in the handwriting before the downstroke goes back up to form the other half of the "u". Now it could possibly be she was debating about getting "gum" after the coffee, rather then the "gun" but on the other hand... I'm sure the looters would be more likely to stop if she had a gun, rather then if she popped a bubble with her gum!

wows were a popular brand of potato chips back in 2000. i think they were taken off the market because they gave people serious stomach problems. =[

still pretty bored in the clubhouse
oooh yeah.. the wows, from Frito Lay, fried in olestra.. here's the FDA mandated warning:

This Product Contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E, and K have been added.

:-o according to Wiki, the condition quickly earned the popular nickname "anal leakage."

Yeah, Ma? you might want to rethink the stockpile of WOWs in the fallout shelter.
