What to stockpile before a hurricane?

I’m supposed to meet a recruiter for a potential temporary back office low wage gig on Monday ,so I really hope this storm is minimal, like last year’s storm, and that they keep the subways open. I got three bags of potato chips, bread, cold cuts, canned tuna fish and mayo. Enough for two days max. Even though I already started gorging on the potato chips as we speak.

As for the porn stash, I got none, but I figure I can just look across my back window at this new lean bodied girl who moved in who does her yoga and shadowboxing in plain view with no curtains. Love when girls try to shadowbox, their form is so bad that it turns me on.

I’m runnin’ low on all those things…

#23

sorry man, subways are going to be shut down tonight at 7pm. The fastest it restarts is probably late Tuesday

#24

I’m stealing this. (the joke, I already have my bag of dog food). :wink:

Guns. If the real apocalypse comes, as Al Gore has promised, you will need them to kill your neighbours when they attack you for food.

You still owe us a clip from your stand up routine.

^ yea Bchad. I Want to see the market wizard in action. Perhaps I could offer some assistance?

People need to pack condoms or pills. I read somewhere that births increase between 2% to 4% nine months after hurricanes or winter storms.

#29

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Maybe everyone will name their kid “Sandy”. :slight_smile:

#30

huh. so I should schedule dates right before a massive storm.

be like: ‘oh look at storm started. may as well wait until it ends…hm. what shall we do then’

#31

It’s the same in countries with brutal winters.

#32

Today’s ridiculously late piece of advice I totally forgot: People need a hefty stack of greenbacks. Now that we tend to pay for almost everything with credit or debit cards, cash in hand is essential during a weather emergency in case things get unexpectedly ugly for a long time.

You’re basically saying a hurricane is a liquidity event

#34

^ ha ha i see what you did there

#35

yup - kind of like a blender (a liquidity event)

#36

here is a liquidity event

#37

Seems other people were trying to “stock up” on other things…
