Well, some of ya'll saw the FX special "Oil Storm", this is about how it happened, isn't it? Is THIS the Hurricane that triggers out of control gas prices and basically makes the SHTF?
|
|
DAMN !
Not yet...my AMMOMAN order is due in Friday.....Can you guys hold off the SHTF until Saturday??? |
|
I have "The Immigrant song" on 8 track, that any help? |
|
|
First off Asatru is a "what", not a "who" and second off, Fat lot of good your god has done for us. You got something to say to me of a religious nature take it to the religious form or the pit, but not here in this thread. |
|
|
Ding, ding. |

|
hope you all realise that oil shortages lead to the wars that lead to Mad Max
better go find a 70s Ford, and add a blower |
|
I call dibbs on Mel Gibsons role. |
|

There is no oil shortage, and will not be after this.
We could be swimming neck deep in oil right now and it would not make any difference in gas prices one little bit. We CANNOT refine enough gas because we don’t have enough refineries. There is a shortage of refining capacity and that is going to be greatly exasperated until the refineries that were shut down for the storm come back on line. Having said that Oil Storm was bullshit and this ain't going to trigger that kind of reaction. |
|
We are already being warned that the price of oil/gas will go much higher, so it just may be.....
Just getting to work will upset untold family budgets that didn't anticipate incredibly high gas prices. My Jeep Wrangler cost $30 to fill today, and still had 3 gallons in it....damn. HH |
|
Fine, but I get to be the "just walk away" guy. |
||
|
These high prices are largely media manufactured. NBC / ABC / CBS were all "talking up" these price hikes days ago. |
|
|
OK, OK Damn, Everyone the SHTF has been bumped to Sat. Please try to be better prepaired next time OK? |
|
|
Lord Humongous was one ugly dude.
the N.O. is also a large part of the off loading process is it not? Several refineries are off line for how long??? This will have a impact, like it or not. How bad? Not Oil Storm bad I hope. |
|
- Thanks man! I didn't want to have to open my display case and start using my live 40mm rounds. I have plenty of belt gun ammo...but I prefer my light and able 5.56 gadgets....So, anybody want to get together Friday night a for a few beers before the SHTF on Saturday? |
||
|
Sat is not good for me. I have to get my hair cut. Monday would be ideal - didn't want to go to work anyway. What kind of screwball messes up the weekend with SHTF???? Sheesh... |
||
|
Nah sorry bro your hair will have to wait, M1 .30cal ball will get you through just fine. |
|||
|
Yes, this is the big one, el grande. I plan to load mags & bug out as soon as I finish replying to all errant threads that need corrected. |
|
|
Programming note - SHTF has been bumped to Saturday, but I'm pushing for Monday. Stay tuned... |
||
|
True, but I was actually referring to a report on my drive home on the radio that said we should expect a huge spike within a few days....what constitutes huge, I dont' know...but I didn't like the sound of the report. They're also saying that this will cause many people to completely alter the frequency of their driving habits, and affect possibly their ability to get to work. HH |
||
|
Can't do Monday...its the 1st Monday of the month..BOARD MEETINGS all day long....
Unless you guys can wait until after work?..I would be happy to join into SHTF around 6pm...is that good for everybody? Plus it gives me time to hit the grocery store....I would really like to pickup a few things before I barracade myself in... |
|
I gotta work this weekend, can't we please wait for SHTF till monday? I'll bring a 4X4 and some tannerite! |
||||
|
Oh damn! Tannerite????
Well....I could call in sick to those meetings..... that would give me all morning to hit the store..and Gman could get his haircut...The lines at the bank would be shorter.....Would I have time to hit the mall and pick up a TV???? You know before the police take them all when the SHTF???? |
|
So is it Monday now? Need to know soon - my calendar is filling up for that day also. |
|
|
No No No, Saturday 9am EST sharp. You west coast boys are just going to have do get up early for this one... Look its not zombies or anything, but its all we got OK?
OFFICAL THREAD HIJACK IN PROGRESS! |
|
No oil storm. There are just too many people driving, thinking it is a right.
If we were to get all the illegal aliens back to Mexico, that would take at least 10 million drivers off the road. Mostly uninsured drivers too. That alone will account for 5% of the consumption. And 5% makes a BIG difference in the supply. |
|
No no Saturday is no good for me. I have my kids this weekend. Count me in fore a Monday SHTF. I see a few of those mentioned. All in favor? Should we have a poll? Everyone hates Mondays anyways. |
||
|
Darn, that's right. Three day weekend. Its gotta be Tuesday, or count me out. Who's bringing the MRE's?? |
|
|
Tues is fine. We can use the holiday to load mags and build defensive positions around the neighborhood. Sure the neighbors will look at ya strange when you unroll concertina and build road block. But come on. We are Afrcommers, our neighbors should not be THAT surprised. |
|
|
87 Octain went from $2.79 to $2.86 in the last two days here.
|
|
It's a "come as you are" SHTF. To paraphrase the taken out of context Rumsfeld, You go to SHTF with the BOB you have. Sorry. |
|
|
Can't we just invade someone else and steal all their oil ? Oh wait...that wouldn't be very nice, would it ?
|
|
Dude....you don;t do SHTF at YOUR house....everybody will raid your fridge and drink all your soda. |
||
|
HHHmmmm.....Bush invaded Iraq for oil AND caused this hurricane....its ALL beginning to make sense now. |
|
|
How bout wed? tuesday is a normal day off for me and i want the real long weekend OK? |
||
|
Hmmmm. Well I can keep the good stuff for me and my family and I can put out the Publix el cheapo soda for company. |
|||
|
hahahaha, if we want a real SHTF situation, let's all go to the Taco Bell and bring the entire ARFCOM membership with us Come on, it'll be just like the pit, everything will smell like shit |
||
|
"....not the BOB you want...." I know, I know, It is month-end tomorrow which means that I get the first work day of next week, with the impending holiday that means tuesday. So I wanna vote Wednesday. Hump Day would be better anyway, wouldn't it? Break up the monotany of the work week, you know... |
||
|
Do you want to do this SHTF or not?? |
|||
|
LOL Beat ya to it.. ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=384273 |
|
|
You guys wanting to come on Wednesday, that's fine...but stop and grab some drinks on the way.
|
|
Tuesday would work for me, but if we go with Wednesday I'll have to knock-off around noon for a doctor appointment. |
||||
|
Oh, forget it....just forget it. You guys are impossible. All we're doin' is try to plan a small little SHTF, and you guys turn it into a D-Day scale invasion. |
|||||
|
Hey my 4 day weekend starts Friday. Can we hold off tshtf until then...please.
|
|
Gman is right. You all do what you want, I will have my own little SHTF on my own. Anyone who wants to come, fine. Trip flares going up monday. |
