How Should We Mark The End of the Hum,an Race?

Well I have been reading "Earth Abies" and its a great book from 1947, really nostalgically and in a "G" rated 1947 mode, talks about the marks of mankind upon the earth and how they would last or not last. I probably will quote it here in this thread. Fascinating all around. The impossible looms, yet actually the bars will always be full. I am not a person who goes to bars, and that's probably the only place better than GLP, for getting true info. And clap.

:clapper:

Maybe we should choose some big rocks that are very hard and will last hundreds of thousands of years, engrave them with pictograms explaining what happened, and worn the next race that populates Earth to do a better job of their civilisation!

You haven't read The Script...

You should..

WITH A BIG WET SMOOCH

With beer of course!!

Lots and lots of good beer!!

Pictures on rocks?

A message that says "Do better than we did!" of course, the unpopulated chunk of rock beyond might say more. Hmm, what if we put the louver museum on that rock, bolt every piece of art to it?

I would say "go on" but don't give a fuck about oneline teases. Post your idea. Or, whatever script you refer to. Is it the bible script? The last book has horses, who doesn't love horses.

No I mean after the last human is gone/harvested, what have you.

Wel, you'd have to perhaps freeze it, preserve it and then have it for those space people to visit Earth, see us having gone from it, and then find the beer sat and be able to psssshhhhhttt!! get that creamy foamed glass of beer and have those haps and whatnots just tickle their throats, and get all buzzed, mm beer. I don't drink it but yes people love that yummy warm feeling and fat belly it gives them.

What else you got?

Anyway Earth Abides is a great book, I am reading it a second time. Most of all do I love how it is set in the innocent days of 1947. Who would know that we were so innocent back then? INTL lefties ruined Earth, so I would hope before we are all gone, we kill the communist and the left, and can at leasat have the last right man on Earth build a testament to our victory.

By flipping it the bird.

There ain’t nothing human here fools hope you are ready to see. In the land that calls plastic faces and asses hot not beautiful.

How can a plastic face and ass be human? Anybody?

"The prize boars will die in their well-kept pens, and the fat brood sows will wander about, squealing for their mash, but on many a farm, the shoats will run wild without restraint of fences. They need nothing from man. In the heat they seek the swamps by the river, and root there, and lie in the mud, grunting happily. When the air grows cool, they wander the oak woods and feed on the acorns. After a few generations, they grow slimmer of leg and thinner of body and longer of tusk. Before the fury of their boars, even the wolf and the bear hurry aside. Like man, they eat flesh or fowl or tuber or nut or fruit. They will live.*

- George A Stewart Earth Abides

Powerful prose.

No one likes plastic asses or fake people, and aliens would probably be all real and perhaps we fear their real-ness?

Okay so another fun read is "Uplift(tm)" by Steve Jackson Games, although I think uplift is a book series, but, my point is that if you get the GURPS manual for uplift, it is a fascinating read. It's like that recent film "Jupiter Rising" where some girl inherits Earth and aliens are all powerful and they harvest entire planets, etc. Uplift is like that x1000, with a much more detailed explanation to lots of things, the sort of things role players and pencil paper gamers from the old days love so much. But in uplift, you can leave an entire planet to become "fallow" just like a field, and, they do this for centuries, to then replow it, etc. Fascinating stuff. So, what is the best humanity gave to anyone passing by? What trinket or poem or note, would you say, we could put out in space to say, "Hum,ans did this!" ?

"Yet not without reason, as symbol of a perishing people, men have said "sheep without a shepherd." In the end they will vanish..."

They wander helplessly in the blizzards of the winter, and in the summer they stray far from water and are too stupid to find their way back; they are caught in the springfloods, and the bodies wash down by the hundreds; they stampede stupidly over cliffs, and lie in corrupting masses in the depths of the ravines; and always there are more of the killers--the dogs run wild, the wolves and coyotes, the mountain-lions, the bears. After a while, the great flocks are broken into a few frightened scurrying fragments; in the end, there will be no more sheep."

"Thousands of years ago they accepted the protection of the shepherd and lost their agility and sense of independence. Now, when the shepherd has gone, they too must go."

- George A Stewart, Earth Abides

Pork Products and Beer!

With a whimper.

HEY BUDDY

LOVE YA

Chalk another one up for beer, and yes, THE PIGS MAN THE PIGS

Thanks Q33 I trust your judgement at all times.

Somebody needs to manufacture personal time capsules. Now.

During ebola, I thought "people are going to want masks." People might want their face on said mask. Need to get photos of them and sell them their personal masks in their shade, with their jawline and smile. I'm too lazy. Came up with same "Here! Take It!" idea for Frankie bobblehead, and lo and behold.

Here! Take It! Personalized Masks!

Utterly brilliant. If we see it and they don't give you credit, shit is then on! This is your idea! Personalized face mask. Hmm, you see that bruce willis movie where people lie around and remotely control terminator endoskeletons which do all their work? Replicants or something? Maybe a avayar cat mask or one of your whole face that is animatronic.

Oh also masks will perpetuate crime, so, what if some cop commands you to remove your mask and he coughs in your face?!

Everyone wins mega powerball

Like the end of "Dr. Strangelove".

"The asses seek the desert, as in the ancient days. They sniff the dry east wind, and gallop on the dusty lake beds, and step daintily on the boulder-strewn hills; with their hard mouths they- eat the thorny bushes. Their companions are the big-horn sheep.

The horses take the dry open plains. They eat the green grass of spring, and the grass-seed of summer, and the dry grass of autumn, and in the winter, shaggy-coated, they paw the snow, for the dry grass beneath it. With them the herds of the pronghorn pasture.

The cattle seek the greener lands and the forests. In the copses the cows hide the new-born calves until they can follow the mothers. The bison are their companions, and their rivals. The great bulls battle mightily, and in the end, perhaps, the heavier bulls will prevail, and the bison move out over all their old domain. Then the cattle may be pushed deeper into the woodland and there find their haven."

Your check will be in the mail.

[mailman skeleton frozen eternally with hand on mailbox -- good man he died at his post!]

Hmm hmm, that is why I move to gold country and live at the mouth of a mineshaft.

PREPED

Munch on a big fat pickle.

No I mean to mark that humans were here and were cool, what would be a good marker or way to really go out with a bang. Eating a pickle is what you do every day at lunch man.

I don't think ive ever been wrong, good call bro, your a smart man!
