I lay upon my bed one bright clear night, and gazed upon the distant stars far above, then I thought... where the hell is my roof?

I would spend them getting prepared. The world can't just 'suddenly' end, but it could be started in 5 minutes

Well, thats according to my religion, and I don't want another one of those...

The next person who says "NO!" is going to "know" what it feel like to get my foot up their butt it's old, leave it be.

It entirely depends on how the world is ending. Are their nukes about to land? I'd spend them driving. Is their a huge worldwide flood about to happen? I'd spend them getting onto the roof. Is an asteroid about to hit? I'd spend them covering windows and getting into the basement. Anything else, I'd do everything within my power to kill Paris Hilton before the disaster does.

there are four posibilities for me.

1. I would gather all my friends and we would drink till we passed out.

2. I would run outside and scream swears at my next door neighbors

3. I would kill all the little kids in my neighborhood

4. I would spend them saying goodbye to all you guys on the forums

Aliens are real! you all laugh at me now and think I'm crazy! but when I post a video of me with an alien, you will all be sorry!!!

Except me, because I'll be packing up my computer

Okay, so here's the plan: I'll smash her eyes out with a mallet (I call the face!), Meg, you rip her fingernails out, Odd, you cut her legs off with a rusty saw, and Saikoro, you remove her reproductive bits in case the end-of-the-world event develops zombies... can't have more of her running around. Anyone else want in? We need someone to tear her organs out and make oragami!

@Matt Rock
Thats not the first time youve threatened to insert your foot in someone's ass for talking about something you didn'tlike, not sure whats up with that, but last time I checked these weren't the Matt Rock forums. One thing thing I do know for sure is that you have NO authority to tell people what they can or can't do on these forums, so knock it off.

The "What's wrong with this banner?" Post seemed to provide so much fun for everyone, with just a missing E! I thought I'd provide a word subtitution instead, just to see how everyone got along.

I lay upon my bed one bright clear night, and gazed upon the distant stars far above, then I thought... where the hell is my roof?

To be fair, we all get a bit annoyed when people consantly say things on the forums that get to us.

Really I have to agree the NO!'s are getting a little out of hand.

As for the end of the world, I think I'd strip down, run down the street naked, punch everyone I see in the face, urinate on random people, try and get some girls to do a fifty-some with me(Haven't worked out how to do that just yet, but I'm working on it)... But I should probably make damn sure the world is going to end before I do that.

Well if the world didn't actually end in 5 minutes, there would be many people committed to the insane asylum for sure.

But me, I would grab a beer from the fridge, sit on a lawn chair with sunglasses and watch the pretty lights.
