Great again. Your doorman is an optimist. A 12 inch is more than double the size of an 8 inch pizza. I am betting on carpal tunnel syndrome long before we get to a basketball size. He'll need to use up those gloves full of RBs :) The mayor ordering food squinting through the sneezeguard. In the end he puts chili on it so the PBD could fail at any moment :) -- The bunker for sale on EBay was hilarious. An old TV show called Doomsday Preppers was sort of a drinking game. Everytime someone said bug out you could take a sip. It seems there will always be people focused on end-times instead of living their lives today.

That is a very interesting point—that the prepper types are focused on the end game rather than living their lives today. But you could say the same about religious folks too. I think the difference is that a proper spiritual life with an eye on the after life can also make your life better TODAY. I am not sure this is the case if you're focused on bunkers and go-bags.

Our favorite episode was some guy in LA who was sort of a vegan and had gold coins and a bottle of salad dressing in his knapsack since he knew what wild plants he could eat and have a salad. I like your point about spiritual life. People who have extreme range of human behavior make for an entertaining show but not a lot of lessons learned.
