The beginning of my last week would be something like that line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

I can see the very last episode of Dave Letterman, the day the news is announced
He skips the opening monologue, goes right to his desk, reads the announcement off one of his blue cards, stares into the camera while tapping the card on his desk, then lets a big laugh out, looks over and says "Well I guess that's that whatd'ya say Paul?"
And Paul
Paul just throws his hands up, shakes his head, then does that thing where you slide your hand across all the piano keys

If I thought there was any chance of an airplane ticket, I think I'd buy one to Iceland and see if that Jules Verne guy was lying about a path to the center of the earth.
I hear they have dinosaurs down there, so even if I die down there, I'll have dinosaurs... which is a plus.

Then Paul runs over, kisses Dave right on the lips, and the fade to black.

Then Paul professes his love to Dave and gives him a hummer on tv. The FCC already left to hide in a bunker, so the last images of humanity broadcast into space is Paul getting blasted in the eye.
I know at lest a third of my last week would actually be spent trying to organize something really monumental via the internet, then having to compromise it so much that I just say "fuck it" and do something totally half-assed with whoever was able to make it.
would be interesting to see how many people still go in to work the next day after the end is announced
I think I might, actually
I mean, I have friends there I'd want to see, and I really doubt we'd have much business on a day like that (I'm a lifeguard) so it would just be us chilling by the lake and thinking and shooting the shit
I'd like the last days of the world to be like Majora's Mask, basically, where people are kind of in shock about it and they're still trying to go to work and such, but they're sort of getting their affairs in order and trying to patch up differences with other people and such
I would want that, because I wouldn't last very long in a violent breakdown of society
And then on the last couple of nights, once we've put petty worldly differences behind us, we all get tore up (from the floor up) and fuck anything that moves and wait for the asteroid
Humanity could always pull a "you can't fire me, I quit!" and launch all the nukes on day one
then on day seven the comet goes right by us and whoops.jpg
This post did not get enough attention. I like the idea of us collectively raising a middle finger to the universe and the universe declining to be a reference on mankind's resume after all is said and done.
Really, our behavior as a species can be handily explained by examining the root words of "mankind," - which are "mank" and "ind."
I don't know what those words mean, but I'm sure they'd explain alot...

You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

Who has the shitty job of getting up in front of that mic and telling every person on the planet they're going to die in a tremendous fireball?
Usually a figure of extremely high authority who also has the ability to phrase something calmly and scientifically or religiously. In this day and age it would be a representative from whichever research lab or company that discovered the incoming event and the president/prime minister/monarch/etc of the country the announcement was being broadcast to.
I'd much rather hear Barrack Obama's doomsday speech than George W. Bush's so I'm glad it didn't happen yet.
I'm not down with causing unjust harm to people so I'd probably get a kick out of rescuing folks from the sociopaths like Peter here. I have a pretty strong hero complex/male power fantasy that's been developing over the past 2+ decades of TV, movies and video games.
I imagine apocalypse scenarios way more often than is probably healthy
I keep a running mental checklist on where to procure weapons, ammo and sweet rides (provided I can hot-wire if the situation calls for it) in case of societal breakdown. If you guys are interested in pooling some pre-war money I know a place that is selling a FIRE ENGINE for just 10 grand.

Laughing so hard you're crying
Using your tears as lube
That's the only way to spend your last moments in life

How does that announcement even get made?

With a sword, on a pogo stick.
Just to kick up the difficulty level.
Its not racism if you give each group of people an equal chance to DIE
