licking stamps

yep, i know some of you odd ones out there specifically request the minted stamps just so you can lick them. everyone else is using the stickers or online postage. but...what if you couldn't get on your postage server? yes ladies and gents, i couldn't login to my stamps.com account today. sacre bleu.

fortunately, there are still 20th century methods still available. but it got me thinking, what if an emp went off today. what would i do?

no electricity, no satellites, no laptops, no cell phones, no pdas, no fax, no email...ok, i hope i'm not making you hyperventilate by now. i guess the best approach would just be to say eff it, leave the dog in the oven and the kids in the pool, go into the garage, manually light the pilot light, fill the tub up with hot water, light 38 candles, grab a snorkel mask, wrap a book in several ziploc bags, and read underwater.
