I would try to drink a bottle of methys and dance on the roof of my 3 storey house, screwing any woman.

Take 59 minutes to build a time machine and go a long way away.
Spoe posted 06-09-99 05:31 PM ET
RL deathmatch?
Valtyr posted 06-09-99 05:36 PM ET
I would finally try to reach level 50 with my Diablo Warrior. I don't think I would get there, though.
I'm serious...

Oh, I'd just take one of those UFO's we air marshals have kept hidden from the public and.... Oh, whoops, said to much.

First 30 minutes: Looting at the mall
Final 30 minutes: Sitting on a looted $3000 vibrating chair in my looted silk underware surrounded with looted gold jewelery and $100 bills smoking a looted Cuban Cigar (I don't smoke but there would never be a better time to start) watching Fox's "When animals attack" on a looted 5 foot flat screen TV drinking looted hard alcohol. I'd also have a looted gun to defend my looted loot.
Stasis Archon posted 06-09-99 08:04 PM ET
First 59 minutes: Not notice anything unusual.
Last minute: Panic. Die.
Oops Now I'll have to kill you.

First, I would get out my gun to defend the premises. Then, screw every women in sight.
JT 3 posted 06-09-99 10:34 PM ET
Hmmmm.... if I didn't do with my first post, I'd probably go drink the strongest thing I could find, and then start a fight that would make the WWF look like the UN.

I think this thread has strong ties to the Atheist thread. Being a believer in God and an afterlife, I would be a lot more comfortable than them, even if I am wrong. I would recognize this as "the day of reckoning," and would find some solace in that.
And I'd wonder... why did I waste all that time in those damn SMAC forums when I could have been doing something productive? Why?!
This thread is kinda funny to me, because I had the oddest dream last night. Saddam Hussein was living down my street, and he had control of a nuclear weapon somehow capable of blowing up an entire planet.
Here's where the dream gets weird. Mars was a thriving planet full some sort of aliens who also had the same nuclear capabilities, and we knew they would launch if we did. Hussein issued a countdown to when he would launch, and I remember in the last few moments of my dream the countdown expiring, and watching this highly sophisticated missile launch and change its own direction in the evening sky, to accelerate towards Mars.
Why am I telling you this here? I really don't know. It was just the oddest dream I've ever had, and what's even more odd is that I believed it while I was having it. One of those dreams after which you are glad to come back to reality. And the ultimate effect of it was to give me an answer to the question posed by this thread-- as I said, I would cling to my religious beliefs. And if those beliefs are wrong, I wouldn't be able to regret all the other amazing things (women, alcohol, etc) I missed in those last few minutes. For those of you who have read this far I thank you because I would have stopped reading this post long before.

I would sleep with every male person who would be interested. And according to what you all wrote, there would be a lot of men interested...
so my last our will be a busy one...
GaryD posted 06-10-99 08:24 AM ET
Knowing there is only an hour to go, does any male really believe he could manage it anyway ?
What would I do....
Get extremely depressed (not a choice thing)
Find a free toilet to sit on, as I'd probably need it
Look over my life and ask myself why I didn't find the strength/willpower/whatever to do better
Wonder if there is survival of death after all
Pray to any God/Spirit/Whatever that was listening to help me please
Hope I could stop feeling sorry for myself and find the strength of acceptance

Go down to the lake with a pack of cigarettes and an iced latte (well, this tiem of year, anyhow), and wait for whatever came next.
MikeH II posted 06-10-99 10:06 AM ET
Whatever I was doing I'd definately smoke through it forget having given up if the world's going to end.

Eat, drink, and screw Mary.

Uhhh... How do you drink Mary?

Have sex for an hour.

Kill the Royal Family.
I know I'd die soon anyway, but some things just [i]have[i] to be done.

Set the clock back!
Natguy posted 06-11-99 03:12 PM ET
Hide in a bunker and hope that God didn't notice I was there (or the big missile, or comet, or Supernova, or whatever) and then come out, and then be the last man alive, dance a happy dance and do anything I'd always wanted!
Trappist posted 06-11-99 05:29 PM ET
Would the religious people really await their fate calmly- even joyfully? Or would they start wondering if they've been backing the wrong team and go through several conversions in the last few minutes?
I'd probably do a lot of running around and screaming. I might even get religion.
