Nothing. As soon as the news was public, there'd be mass panic, and there's no way I could get out of town because all the roadway would be clogged.

winner.

if you live in or around a major metro error you might as well "party like it's 1999" cause you are toast. i'd lock the door, make love (really quick). kiss the kids then play monopoly with them. should be painless.

Find the fallout shelter from "blast from the past" and get enough beer and porn to last the rest of my life... NO INTERNET OHHH NOOOOZ
 
I'd just laugh when they fell out of the sky on Leningrad, then continue on with my life.



(PS this was a subtle jab at the fact that Russia is poor and their old ICBMs are most likely barely functional)
 
Well, knowing my luck, the alert would come while I was at work. Since I work so far from home, I would try to make it home to be with my wife and family, but inevitably end up stuck in traffic chaos. Since my home is relatively close to what I would assume to be on the list of primary targets, my family would be annihilated. I would get to see the explosion while sitting in my car, my view partially obstructed by the mountains. I would eventually end up in a fall out shelter of some sort, where I would live my last days dying of radiation poisoning, hunger, grief, and despair...

Probably loot the liquor store or pharmacy first- in case I'm not going to survive, might as well go out feelin' fine! Second, loot the nearest gun shop in case I do survive. :beer:

P.S. Maybe I'd share some of the drugs with my G/F....maybe :laugh:
 
Fill every bloody thing with water, and sit tight in the basement. Not likely to get hit where I am, but just in case.

Figure the power is going to go out, so no pump or lights. Load the gun and get ready for looters.

Then just sit tight with my shortwave and ham radio.
 
Go up to the roof of my building with the following:

1. Best Vodka in the house
2. Cuban cigar
3. Folding Chair
4. Sunglasses

I will likely be living a couple thousand yards from a primary, non-military, soft target (read: large city center).
 
If i was at work, I'd go to the underground vault at the bank I work at after calling my wife and telling her to get her butt over here. If I was at home, I'd make love no matter what my wife says. "dammit woman, we're gonna die! You ARE gonna put out!" 😛
 
Go get a haircut
Watch a 3 stooges short while doing lots of drugs and drinking alot
Piss on a baby
Then do a backflip off a building, while on fire, while doing a guitar solo, and shocking myself as the missle hits
