Although you would think that with “Madd” in my name I would welcome the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max that soon awaits us all, I am worried if I have the proper attire for it. Obviously, the constant stream of news related to global warming and high gas prices is a constant reminder of the dystopian hell scape that is right around the corner. However, there have been a couple additional developments that make me worry it is coming sooner than I had planned and that I haven’t stocked up on enough gasoline and shotgun shells.
I am personally looking forward to feathers being an acceptable wardorbe choice for men
First, the Mexican drug cartels have been building DIY armored vehicles:
Which window do you use to throw the boomerangs?
Second, Texas governor and leathery clown, Rick Perry, just signed a bill to outlaw “tire deflation devices” (2011 S.B. 1416) because apparently criminal suspects have been evading law enforcement officials in South Texas, by throwing tire spikes at the pursuing vehicles. Silly Texas, you can’t legislate your way out of our Mad Max-style Future.
Third, to celebrate the founding of border towns everywhere, it appears another Mad Max movie may finally get made (maybe).
don’t forget about the forthcoming fights over dwindling fresh water supply! (not intended to start an intra-hijackedsignal post war, just an observation. hey, relax profit, get down off of blaster’s shoulders!)
my buttless chaps are polished and ready to go, although i probably see myself as more akin to autogyro man; basically a coward but decent enough to fight on the side of the good guys.
i had read about the mexican cartel diy tank, but hadn’t seen the picture. awesome in that we’re so fucked way. let’s escalate the war on drugs, cuz it’s just about over, right?, and our three wars in the middle east have been getting too much attention lately.
fresh water, pfffft!
Give that sweet vroom vroom juice, so what if I can’t drink it.
