Just reading the other thread "how useful are you" and it got me thinking, if you knew the world was gunna blow up, and you had 1 week to do WHATEVER you wanted... what would you do. Id steal the fastest car i could, get a really hot girl, supplies and go somewhere warm... Florida perhaps. Then id just lay on the beach, 'do' said hot girl, grab a few corona's and wait for the big boom How bout you?
I'd watch the "big boom" from orbit. Don't ask me how I'd get there. It would involve a lot of illegal (and somewhat unethical) stuff. Of course, there'd be some zero-g hanky-panky involved.

Hey... if you can get together a concrete plan, im in! Hell, ill bring the beer AND the hotties You just get us into space Oh, and ill bring some chips too And popcorn while we watch the boom
The original question implies the permanent end of the world, and that will probably include Florida. So, how are you planning to approach the next life, assuming there is one?

The issue with this plan:
If the Earth, indeed, goes "BOOM!" then you have precious little time in orbit at, say, the level of the ISS. You would have mere seconds to become part of the fireball. On a happier note, all your popcorn will be available in a virtual instant.
If, however, the Earth were to to suffer a smaller "boom," say a shift of the crust (massive earthquakes) and tsunamis rolling over the landmasses, etc. then your deaths up there (without food, fresh air or support after a time) will be slow and scary.
I think that the family aspect would hold some appeal.
If the world was gonna end tomorrow, I would be happy I made it through yesterday. I would not have to play "catch up". The only thing I might do different is smoke a little pot. I would not have to worry about a drug test, .

Theoretically, if you KNEW the world was going to end in 1 week, it is quite possible everyone else would have the same knowledge. I'd grab the rifles and the GF, the dog, cats, and several trusted friends, and we'd find our way out to the woods with our families and survive out in the wilderness for the last week of life.
The rest of the world will have by then gone totally nuts and the hope of performing any of the tasks listed above would be non-existent.

First thing that came to my mind: I would sit down in a comfortable piece of plastic lawn furniture with a ice cold six pack and drink away. Unfortunately the chair would be sitting in the middle lane of a very busy highway, facing traffic

Find the hottest girl (or girls) I could find, pay them the most I could get of of my credit cards (hoping they didnt hear the news) and party till the end. Im sure for a few hundred grand you could find them that would do just about anything...lol.

You'd find the best girls money can buy, eh?

Just to clarify, the object here is not to survive the cataclysm, but rather to have the best vantage point.
Besides, it would be a lot easier to bribe the aforementioned "hot girls" with a ride on the Space Shuttle... because THEIR end-of-the-world plans probably don't involve our ugly asses.

Maybe... but you surely wont miss the white haired man wearing shorts with black socks, deck shoes, a very loud hawiian shirt driving a stolen ferrari with 20 year old hot blonde seat cover on the right... and the previously mention signal blinking and open gas door yadda yadda

Ya, but you can push a 3 dollar whore to the limit!, heck she could do things with that one good arm that would make you forget all about the lump on her neck. :-O
I am kinda surprised no one has said they would go kill everyone on their short list.
Me? I would fly my hovercraft as far up river as I could get and party on the beach like their was no tomorrow. That or fly down to the sound and pirate a nice blue water sailboat.
well I live in Fla and have a sail boat so I guess I will just sit and wait for you guys to bring me the hot girls but then there are plenty here already
------------------ Question wonder and be wierd are you kind?

I guess if everyone is going to drive anymore fastlike and insane than they already do I would find some other way of transporting myself up to the North West (preferably shotgun in a F-16) to see my Mom and my sister, while there I would like to try a few laps on the race track in something sporty, ped the Columbia River Gorge, go pick a weeks worth of fresh organic produce and then head to the mountains to camp for the rest of the week. Stealing stuff, killing, and or having a giant orgy is not too realistic in my book but I might try to find some lady friend to relax with in the last week. I might also seek that one person whose last wish is to cook amazing food for somebody for a week and bring them on board. I think that's about right.
How bout you?
And popcorn while we watch the boom
