The Toilet Paper Chronicles: Gallows Humor from the Y2k Underground

ISBN No. 0967492718

By Marianne Michaels

Squirrels as terrorists? Exploding caches of beans and rice? Little white wormy things in the freeze-dried "what-the-heck-IS-this-anyway?"

You think youve got problems? Consider what its like for the Y2k underground.

The road to self sufficiency--or at least to Sams--has been full of pot-holes. The relatives who ridicule their every preparedness move. The nightmares of spiky-haired ex-yuppies storming their houses. The Y2k Ready (not Y2k compliant, but "Y2k Ready) weasel words from the utility companies. The disconnected messages from government. The fear inspired by alleged programmers who claim to have discovered an additional bug that no one will be able to fix because it will remain hidden until the stroke of midnight on December 31, 1999. The remediation death marches. The schizophrenic stories in the media. The fear merchants selling overpriced survival supplies. The computer experts who claim Y2k is "no problem." The computer experts who claim Y2k will cause HUGE problems. Chinese nuclear weapons commanders claiming systems are ready but still asking something akin to What am Y2k?

Whats a GI (one who gets it) to do?

Answer: Find something funny in all of it or head for a rubber room.

A Ride on the Y2k Underground is a Trip You'll Never Forget.
