We remember those happy Thanksgiving evenings when, after the f'ball was over, the networks would show a fine old classic movie: The Sound of Music, or maybe Mary Poppins. Well, at Your Wonkette, we have some classic family viewing from 1965, although it pains us to report that Julie Andrews does not seem to be in these: A reel of delightful
Well, thank you, Doktor! Something else to show my 20th century history class tomorrow- we just "did" the Cuban Missile Crisis today. I don't think I'll inflict the whole thing on them, but at least let them know how pathetic this stuff could get.
Actually that might have to happen here. Somebody has tried to poison me. I'm sitting here with a bucket and a bottle of Pepto and some aspirin. Thankfully I'm alone now except for faithful doggy and wonkette.
When I was a young man I worked on my grandfather's ranch in Hereford, TX (yes, its real). I never saw a barn with a basement. Makes me wonder how does one get cow shit out of a basement? Maybe a poop-scalotor or the cows takes an elevator and go outside to shit?
You think, just because we sunburn easily, that we&#039;d somehow be more sensitive to fallout? No, redheads <a href="http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1362956\/" target="_blank">just laugh at the tougher stuff</a>.
You should see the 1980 film about using hay bales as protection from AIDS. Funny thing. The hay bales didn&#039;t work as well as Republican scientists predicted. Oh well, live and learn. Or die. Whatever.

I like the one where the guy is apparently storing water in an old paint bucket - probably, considering the date, an old <i>lead</i> paint bucket. On the plus side, the additional lead in your system might provide some radiation protection. On the minus side, it will kill you.
Joke.No, it was just something I ate I took the Pepto when I started to feel bad. Feeling a lot better.
Thanks, okay I did it although really just half a glass. It did help.

That&#039;s the original, not a copy in Texas. One of the maps in the original Hereford doesn&#039;t even show Texas. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wik..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereford_Mappa_Mundi">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
From later on in the video: &quot;These [radioactive fallout] particles are only dangerous to living things.&quot;
Great. So if we&#039;re killed by the blast first, we should be fine.
OK Dr Zoom, I&#039;m under my desk sucking my thumb. Are you happy?
Happy Indian Genocide Day!

<i>The more shielding between you and the radiation, the more protection</i>
So is plastic sheeting and duct tape recommended for this too?
Was hoping for bovine duck-n-cover...

In that respect, certain water fowl are better prepared than others.
