Happy Xmas to all SF Readers

Linda and I would like to wish everyone at SF Reader a very merry Xmas and all the best for the New Year.

Cheers: K & L

The same to both of you and the miner bird too. And to all the forum members. Let's hope 2012 brings many new stories and books published. The year ahead will be an interesting one to say the least. Doomsters have predicted the end of the world is coming. To them, I offer these final words of wisdom from an American philosopher:

"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

Big Trouble in Little China.

Bring on the Apocalypse!

Got my bug out bag ready and my bike's all fueled up ready to go.

I bought Linda an archery set for Xmas. 30 pound recurve bow plus a dozen arrows. She was hitting the target in our back garden after the first few shots.
I figure we'll be okay in the survival stakes.
And if it's a flood, well we've got the kayaks.
Might just go and watch those Resident Evil movies again, make sure we're up to date with our Zombie fighting techniques.
(Trying to cover all the options here.)
Bee Bee, our Miner bird, will fly around and alert us to danger.

There's no chance of an alien invasion is there? I always figured to steal one of the invaders space ships and head off to explore the Universe.
Likewise if the Hadron Collider blows a hole between the dimensions and opens up a Half-Life type scenario.
Stay and defend the Earth?
Hell no. I'm going to take over their world.

It's a good job we're on a sci-fi forum, else people reading this might start to wonder.

Right, I'll pop along now, got to sharpen those throwing stars.
