How to survive in a recession
With tough economic times ahead I thought I would share some of the strategies I have learned to cope with the high price of food, fuel, energy and recreation. I hope you find them useful.

You just made me albout spray my Diet Dr. Pepper!
Tag! You're it!
Let's not forget the "freegan" option of scavenging food from dumpster bins. Clothes can be scavenged from charity bins. There are lots of options available.
You missed a pic of the Whitehouse and an A-Bomb....good stuff! I just love your blog!
Whats that thing on a stick instead of the loo roll. Gatorland looks fun :-)
I agree w/ beast, Gatorland looks like fun. I've done enough Disney parks!
As for tp, I don't think there's a substitute for it, especially not THAT thing...it doesn't belong anywhere near the privates!
You, my man, are a true fiscal conservative.
You also need to emphasize the benefits of begging for spare change.
I actually did wonder if an alternative to toilet paper would benefit the planet or make things worse. Then I shrugged and pulled off more tp than I needed.
Good thing I love Ramen Noodles.
Great job Hammer. But I dont think I am letting anyone take out my wisdom teeth with those plyers.. Ouch..

Little did I know how far ahead of the curve I was with last year's three-week vacation to fabulous Gatorland and the excursion to Crocworld next door.
i think you forgot the rifle in there that will help stop the poor from stealing your rations and the inevitble zombies that come from your brain.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I'll keep splurging on TP. That brush wouldn't do my hemorrhoids any good at all! ;)
Thank youu very much for the tips, I won't use them, start first.
Regarding the brush instead of tp, I assume everyone in the home gets their own? Or are you really saving money?
I am amazed how my "dumb foreigner" grandparents survived the 1930's depression along with families of seven and eight children, respectively. And none of them went malnourished, and there was no getting badly into debt to feed them, either. They had kickass gardens, but none of them hunted or fished. And gubmint program, what gubmint program? Aaaand, my maternal grandfather owned his darned house (that he built himself on off hours when he wasn't working as craneman at the mill).
Today's poor have houses so big you need to phone someone on the other side (I dare someone to raise seven kids in Grandpa's 800 sq. ft. bungalow), cable TV, WII, restaurant dinners, crank the a/c and the heat (wear a sweater in the house in January? the hell you say!), smoke, gamble, and put it all on the card, then wonder w.t.f.!
ramen is good for emergencies ONLY! that's why our children love it at least three days per week...*;]
I'm about to take a vow of poverty, and teh ramen plays heavily in my survival scheme. Here's to cheap and filling.
I will never, ever give up toilet paper!!!!!!!
Funny stuff tho....
Peace
Sorry my friend....Ramen is NOT a likey sub for Turkey... heavens gift to ME! hehehe
roflmaooooooooooooooooooo..toooooo funny
