| IkeaBoy P.L.F. Portugese Liberation Front- Liberating Status' everywhere from the Tyranny of Portugal I will die a traitor's death | posted on 08-03-2001 @ 1:24 AM |    | |||
| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | I finished The Stand yesterday and I was wondering suppose there's a plague or atomic blast of sorts and millions die or simply the government falls and civilization is on the verge of collapse and anarchy. What type of function do you see yourself (or another board member) serving as the world falls apart around you? I'd like to be some sort or orator of sorts. The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | I'd like to get a better picture of the situation presented by the book since I haven't had the plesure of reading it. Is it like "The Postman" or does a general state of anarchy set in from the downfall? "Glen honey, I have a question for you- what do you do for a living?" "Hey I have a question for you too- why are you still here?" Family Guy- Glen Quagmire, "Stewie's Addicted to Crack" episode. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Hmm IkeaBoy with another topic on Anarchism? If it was the good type of anarchy(yes the idealism that will never be acheived) I would live my life away banging away. If it was the bad kind I'd head a rebel group probably.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Mar. 01 | go to blockbuster and rent the miniseries. In an society in anarchy and collapse, i just see myself as someone trying to survive on my own...fuck everyone else i see Froy trying to be the leader, but is quickly killed by GonzoStyle. Sean Cold is a ravenous killer, saving peoples skulls as trophies (see Predetor)  What should i do I don't want to be sad anymore All i want is you. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Dec. 00 | I'd be the recluse in the mountains with a high powered rifle and lots of ammo. But if I had to make a choice, I'd be with the old lady and the do-gooders. If you haven't read THE STAND yet, I highly recommend you do. It's a thick ass book that takes some serious time to read but it's worth it. It's one of King's all-time best classics.  Into each person's life a little pain must fall. I'm just here to administer it. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | I've got the tech skills to help rebuild. Kind of like the guy who shows them how to fix the hydro-electric dam in the book. I wonder how many people actually read the text people put under their sig pics. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Well, I'm a mechanical engineer now, so I guess Dent and I would be in the same boat. I'd fix what I could and rebuild what couldn't be fixed.  I can levitate birds. No one cares. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Hmm...well, the guys in The Stand were great characters, but I never really liked the female leads, except Mother Abigail...maybe I'd be Lucy; although when it comes down to it, I'd rather just die off the rest of the country OK, so who on the board is Tom? M-O-O-N, that spells Ftard ...and who's Trashcan Man?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | [movie quote]So where are you going with this, IkeaBoy?[/movie quote] Better question..I read the book 6-7 years ago, so I can't remember the characters name. The woman Laura San Giacomo played in the mini-series...who would be her? As for what my place would be? If society really started devolving from a nuclear/chemical/biological disaster, I'd probably be one of the first to die.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | If the world were to really go through events as presented in The Stand, I'm not really sure what function and/or role I would play. Part of me would like lend a hand in the rebuild, but the other part would want to leave it all alone and be content with life only being comprised of "the basics". That is an incredible book - I have read it a few times, and have done papers on it for High School and College classes. If you think watching the mini-series would be better than reading 900+ pages of the book, you are really missing out - not to mention, the mini-series sucked (especially since it was on network television - it might have been better if it were done on HBO or something).  Classes for Enhancing your Board Experience and Stamina are now in Session! Email me here or AIM me at Organic999 to enroll. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I've never been impressed when they make Stephen Kings books into movies... I agree though, if HBO did the Stand now, it'd be much better..and Corin Nemec(sp)?would not be in it, thank god. First ever grad from the Newbie Academy: Lord Duvious....now able to fly solo.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | With my dumb luck, I'd probably end up like that chick in the book who gets locked in her walk-in freezer while checking on her family's corpses. Natural selection, ain't it a bitch? "I once shot a man just to watch him die. Then I got distracted and missed it." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | Most scientists beleive a major disaster like the Stand is almost inevitable. 1. Major diseases are easily spread due to population density and ease of travel. 2. Large meteor falling. 3. The super volcano that will end the world 4. Our own stupidity There's even a theory that we HAVE ALREADY survived several extinction level events. And after each one of these events, humanity has started over from scratch. Just that this is the first time we've gotten so far with technology. The unimaginable loss of life would be a great tradgedy, but for the survivors, it would be a great opportunity to rebuild the world better than it is. I wonder how many people actually read the text people put under their sig pics. | ||||
