"It wasn't like that! I just thought you looked thirsty!"

So you want a means to get the heck out. How about a gun? Otherwise I'm thinking helicopter. Maybe a big long secret tunnel? Saying "It's ok guys, I'm leaving until the National Guard cleans things up" is not likely to help you if things degrade that far. Otherwise you need to be out before things get that bad, but comms and news might be hard to come by and you could easily miss that window because you're busy surviving and reluctant to leave your supplies behind. Better to have a gun and not need it sort of thing...
As far as generators go, I'd recommend propane if you can swing it. Better long term storage than gasoline. I saw these Lifestraw things recently, looks like a good item to have around and they're cheap.

From Wikipedia:

Maybe you should just buy a cheap bottle of generic aspirin instead of a brand name product that contains an ingredient you don't want and a touch of caffeine (readily available from all kinds of sources)

People signing a petition to repeal the first amendment.

Just kidding. Here's the Kickstarter Link.

Well, what do you call it when someone insists that something is real with no evidence for its existence? Maybe this...

Homer: Dear Lord, The gods have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal: You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done.

It's probably 3. Same as the Beagle and Pi. :)

Just put a display on the side of your USB toaster. Then you can watch TV while you toast. A sort of Video Toaster.

It's like we're forming up a lynch mob! I've had my ass handed to me for suggesting due process for everyone before.... Maybe this time I'll just stand in back with a pitchfork and wait for every one to calm down. By tomorrow every one here will be screaming for it again.

I've had a couple, but here goes:

I was aware that I was comparing apples and oranges but the juxtaposition of two similar thoughts in apparent discord was amusing. Particularly if you assume sexist guy that "can't" tell the difference between two women.

You did the right thing, the guys worried about your gender weren't worried about doing their jobs or you doing yours, this means an office full of the daily WTF and some light sexual harassment to go with it.

Higher premiums. Check. Isn't some of the super high tax on tobacco usually justified by health care cost as well?
Further: this and this.

Oh yeah? For my rebuttal, I'm bringing out the big guns:
xkcd!
Seriously though, I know what you intended in context there, and this isn't exactly it. While it does concern me that we have elected leaders that believe crazy things, as long as they do the job and don't force them on me through the law, I can live with that. I don't ask about the personal beliefs of the guys that design cars as long as I can get one without that jesus fish thing on it.
