Live in a silo!

Post by Saint_Proverbius »

<strong>[Community -> Update]</strong>

<b>Made in China</b> has send me a <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 773">funny link</a> on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a>. For those interested, you can now purchase a former US Atlas-F series missile silo home. Here's a blurb:<Br><blockquote><b>ATLAS-F MISSILE SILO HOME FEATURES</b> (above ground house) Open floor plan home w/ weed, island fireplace and wrap around covered porch, a large garage which has a secret escape hatch to the underground. The surface home doubles as an entrance to the Launch Control Center (LCC) and Silo below. See photo of keypad entry locking steel doors.<div align="center"><a href="http://silohomes.com"><img src="/miscpics/silohome.gif" height="191" width="243"></a></div>The entire site has been tested and the results show that the LCC, silo and surrounding area has no contamination </blockquote>You can find out more info from <a href="http://silohomes.com">Silohomes.com</a>.

I'd really like that idea, though 2mil$ + is a bit over my budget... I also figure just maybe an old russian missile silo is programmed to hit that one (I don't really see why actually since the US missiles would have been lauched before the russian ones would have hit their target anyway), or something, or is on someone important targets list...

Anyway, it's military link just gives me the creeps...

Did anyone else get the hankering to click on the "Buy it Now" button (at a modestly priced $25,000,000)? Or was it just me?

Maybe if we get 25 of us together and kick in $1M each or 100 people to kick in $250K? We would be guaranteed to survive when GWB starts his idiotic war with Saddam and the rest of the moslem world.

"This may be your last chance to find an uncontaminated and usable hardened underground complex."

Ummm.... I'll build my own for 25 Million thanks. Although...

Nah, they probably got rid of all the goodies. There may have forgotten the armoury, though.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Nice bid... but if I had 25 million dollars I would prefer to waste them one week before the pending apocalypse.

It would be one hell of a week... :twisted:

It's nice to see you're still a fuckwit, Jimmy.

Fuckwit! That means stupid right? Maybe stupid like someone who doesn't know how to spell? Like someone who doesn't know how to spell "Warroid". You must have been thinking of the spelling for hemorrhoid. It would make more sense that you are an "Angry Hemorrhoid", because you are a major pain in the ass.

Smell that boys and girls? That's the aroma (read: odor) of Love, DaC-style.

Now, could you imagine 25 of us cooped up in a silo together?

"There will be bloodshed in T-Minus Six..." comes to mind...

Obviously, because only a fuckwit would try to correct someone's spelling of an imaginary construct while leaving out commas left and right, right?

Speaking of commas, I thought there wasn't supposed to be one before "because" in this instance because the "major pain in the ass" statement is dependent on what's before it¹.
