:biggrin: My dad nicked me this name years and years ago, but a couple years ago I was bored, so I typed phlooph into the search bar and something actually came up for it! http://www.econsultant.com/sniglets/sniglets-starting-with-p.html Miles post is right on with the definition of phlooph, and I'm not sure if it's because he remembers me nauseatingly repeating this same story over and over, or if most people just associate phlooph with noxious smells.

Well I don't believe it none. So there. :thumbsup:

ON TOPIC:
If this happened to me, I'd go over to my neighbor's garage and see if my leaf blower was there.
Hey, best I could do. :whistling:

I would create a robot friend

As in: "Greetings. Fisto is programmed to please. Please assume the position."

I guess I would feel pretty down at first, but I'd like to think I would be logical enough to start gathering resources asap. Taking the gas from abandonded cars and saving it, looting whatever I think I'd need (generators for instance), getting acquainted with local livestock, trying to find sites with sufficient info on how to grow different things and how to butcher animals (since even though canned goods might last for a while, I will either run out of them or they will turn old in the end), loot the local hunting store for a lifes worth of ammo etc. And also, I would save whatever I'd find on the internet, because I might keep my computer going thanks to a generator but I doubt that every server in the world would run flawlessly for an eternity without being overlooked by someone.

Are they coming back?

Will I find the corpses of everyone lying about? My answer to the OP wholly depends on whether the reply to my question is a yes or a no.

EDIT: Oh, nothing then.

This sums it up for me pretty nicely.

I would probably, blow up a lot of [censored], and shoot lots of guns while deriving through a city in a very expensive car. Then after burning down the white house in the name of the untamed north I would travel around lame old America wishing I could be in Europe. I'll be like a bird traveling south durning the winter to avoid un plowed roads. Then heading north during the summer to explore more.
This will probably go on for a year or two driven by false hope. However once everything starts to fall apart naturally, I'll kill my self in some epic way.

See if there's any updates on the social networks.

I've removed a few posts. Please keep it appropriate or soon I'll be the last person on these forums. :whistling:

No they are not coming back.

Anyone know how long fuel lasts in the bowser/fuel tank before it starts to erode (O.o)?

Just researched and found out that fuel can last anywhere from 6-12 months in a sealed Jerry can with proper conditions and up to 4 weeks in the can tank.

So it looks as if our dreams of driving around the city siphoning fuel have just gone "off"

Well I'd try my hardest to make sure there is absolutely no one else on Earth remaining. Once Im sure of it, I might cry a little because I won't be able to see my family or friends again.

Then I'll most probably go to a library, learn how to make myself a generator (or better yet, just get a generator) then install several around my house so I have constant electricity. Then I'll go to the mall and loot the place of all video games and keep playing them.

For food I'll just head over to the food court and pick up anything non-perishable... I'll feel pretty bored after a couple of months so I'll keep switching hobbies till Im all out. Then and only then will I try to find a way to bring humanity back..

Bowser? Bloody Oath ! man, I've never heard that term until now. (had to do a slang search) Depends, I suppose how watered down the petrol is. I'll give it 2 or 3 years...you can prolong it of course with the proper treatment. You could make it all the way across the island and back a couple of times, I guess.
But, If you are talking about a boat bowser, saltwater is devastating.

[2 or 3 years didn't make any sense of course unless you had some really watered down gas then the tank might rust.
I misunderstood what you were thinking would erode, and I was using hyperbole.]

You can still have some fun for almost a whole year then. "Inherit" the best muscle car around, get on the highway and drive like a maniac. No one will mind. Unless, of course, the people disappeared while performing everyday activities. Then the highways may be filled with car wrecks, ruining any similar plans.

Hmmm. thought you meant the metal of the tank. You need a plastic jerry can. A BIG ONE.

I would rip out one of my ribs...If you get what I mean. But seriously? I'd go insane, into the pit of lunacy and madess.

Fly a fighter jet. If I can, fly a space ship.

Create my crazy cat lady empire in the windmill down the road. Go insane and die, get eaten by cats.

Hard to say what I would do really, but I would probably have some fun first then break down trying to find a reason for living. Could probably find a way to recreate humanity if all of the necessary materials were still there.

You'd make a woman or you'd make do without one?

I get your Twilight Zone reference there :thumbsup:

Considering every nuclear plant in the world is now vacant and nobody's there to keep an eye on things, I can safety assume I'll be dead within a couple months if I don't already die from boredom.

I would check the streets for zombies, or maybe head to the nearest air base and do what biomedmechstudent said
