Interview…of the Apocalypse! Part 1!
As you well know, the world will end. If you listen to scientists, it’ll end when the sun burns out and swallows the Earth. If you listen to Hollywood, there is always a giant tsunami/alien race/comet/self-aware computer that has nukes/giant monster/horde of zombies that is ready to tear the world a new one in any variety of ways (usually involving copious explosions). So where does that leave us, the people that will have to deal with the end when it comes up to smack us in the face? Well, with that very question in mind, I approached a few people to find out what they’re doing to prepare for the end times.
The questions are as follows:
1) Would you say that your current abode is relatively well prepared in case of a tsunami attack?
2) Let’s say you’re walking down the street one day, and you hear that Godzilla, King of the Monsters, has risen from the Pacific Ocean and is currently attacking Los Angeles. What would you do first?
3) In the event of an alien invasion of Earth, who would you be more likely to trust humanity’s continued survival with: Will Smith, or Sigourney Weaver? Why?
4) It finally all comes to blows, and the world is cast into a nuclear winter. Which would be your main mode of transportation: snowmobile, snowshoes, skis, snowboard, dogsled team, or yak? Why?
5) Zombie Apocalypse Contingency Plan: There are zombies outside wherever you are now. What do you do?
Here’s what a few people had to say about it.
Amanda
1) I hope you feel special, ‘cuz you’re the first one I’ve asked this to. Haha I do feel special. 
And uh…probably not. I think a standard two story home would be pretty thoroughly felled by a tsunami attack.
2) Continue to remain on the other side of the country and make evacuation plans just in case he decided he fancied some cape cod potato chips.
3) Ooh, that’s a good one. Will Smith? He has a more diverse resume. He could also fall back on his Fresh Prince days in case of rapping aliens.
4) A yak! Because a) yaks are awesome and b) it could be eaten if food supplies got desperately low.
5) Haha, I am setting the bar for future answers. And uh…probably run downstairs and stockpile food/sharp things in the kitchen, then herd my parents and dog up in the attic to wait it out.
Antto
1)…mm not so sure really…I should have taken those swimming lessons…
2) Head over to the city and talk with the thing into dividing the world 50-50…I’ll rule and give him enough humans to keep his tail wiggling happily 
3) Sigourney Weaver..girls just kick ass! Even after coming back from the dead, Will Smith only played the “I’m the evil hacker that screwed the aliens” role (and was wrongly done btw!).
4) Mmm mean of transportation…what better than to shape-shift into a wolf? There’s no better way to go than that
5) Pick up a flame thrower, matches and all those cans of hair spray and paint in the basement and go out to have some barbecue…”Burn, zombie asses, burn!!!” *Insert evil pyromaniac laugh* Side note: Remeber to take your [always handy] katana or broadsword with you…some knives are just never sharp enough!
Ashley
1) Not. At. All.
2) Not go anywhere near Los Angeles. And then call the local authorities. Only local? …..well, considering that the LA police lines are off the hook, they might need some extra help. I mean, think about it, if LA is attacked, EVERYONE’s gonna call the LAPD. Therefore, THEY already know they’re needed. But OUR local authorities might need to lend a hand too.
3) Um…..I dunno. I haven’t seen those (note: she’s referring to the Alien movies). So it would be unfair for me to answer fairly and say Will Smith for the fact that I have only seen his movies.
4) Yak and skis. The yak could pull me around on my skis and be a great sheild for oncoming winds. We would rest and I would use him as a giant snuggle buddy to keep warm. Also, why is not a dog sled team an option? (At this point, I added the dog sled team option to the question)
5) Lock all the windows and doors. I put foul smelling (inhuman) smells under my door (like rotting flesh so that they will not come near me looking for live human flesh). Then I would escape into the ceiling panels and try to make way to a safe hiding spot out of reach……beyond that, I haven’t really given it much thought, LOL.
Keep your eyes tuned, friends, as Part 2 of this questionare is around one corner or another (read: will show up in a few weeks’ time).
